LG G6 OLED: prices, fit, and what the testing says
LG's brightest OLED, built to hang on the wall. Amazon doesn't sell it, and our helper never picks it, for reasons worth knowing.
Our take
The short version
The G6 is the OLED you buy when the room has daylight and you won't give up per-pixel blacks. Its Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panel makes it the brightest TV LG sells, and RTINGS calls it one of the only OLEDs truly suited to bright rooms. It keeps Dolby Vision and four HDMI 2.1 ports, like the C6.
It's also a wall TV first. In the US it ships with a flush wall mount in the box and no stand, and LG's five-year limited panel warranty covers only the G and W series. Plan on buying a stand if it won't hang.
We price it from LG.com because Amazon had no US listing for it on October 7, 12, 14, or 19. The 65-inch was $2,499.99 there on October 12 and 14, against an original $3,399.99. That's $1,100 more than the C6 was by October 19.
Our price checks
Price history
Every G6 figure here comes from LG.com, and none moved between October 12 and 14. The 97-inch is in another league at $19,999.99, and it's also the one size without the tandem panel. We last checked the G6 on October 14, before the C6's October 19 drop, so we don't know yet whether the G6 moved too.

The scores, explained
Fit by room and use
By room
- Bright room4/5
- The brightest LG OLED, with a new coating that handles reflections better than the C6's. RTINGS still sees more glare on it than on Samsung's S95H, which is why it sits a step below the very top.
- Mixed light4.5/5
- Strong. It keeps its blacks deeper in a lit room than the S95H, per RTINGS, so lamps and daylight both work.
- Dark room5/5
- Per-pixel contrast, same as every OLED here. Its extra brightness is wasted in a dark room, which is the C6's argument.
By use
- Movies & TV5/5
- Dolby Vision, deep blacks, and LG's premium processing. RTINGS singles out its format support for people with disc collections, though like the C6 it skips HDR10+ and DTS passthrough.
- Sports4/5
- Bright enough for day games and clean in motion. Mini-LEDs still win on full-screen brightness in a sunny room.
- Gaming5/5
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports, high refresh, and VRR. Same core gaming kit as the C6, so it's not a reason to pay more.
- A bit of everything4.67/5
- Ties for the top all-round reading in the catalog. Its picture isn't the problem. Its price is.

What Find my TV picks it for
The LG G6 OLED isn't on the shortlist for any of the helper's 144 possible answers. The helper never puts the G6 on a shortlist. It's over every budget except No limit, and with no limit its value score, the lowest band in our catalog, leaves it behind sets with the same picture scores for less. Its best showing is below.

Who should skip it
You watch mostly at night
Instead: LG C6 OLED. Same blacks, Dolby Vision, and four HDMI 2.1 ports for about $1,100 less at 65 inches on our latest checks.
Glare is your main problem
Instead: Samsung S95H OLED. RTINGS rates it a bit better overall, more colorful, with less glare. It was the same $2,499.99 at Samsung.com. It has no Dolby Vision.
You want the brightest picture, whatever the tech
Instead: Sony Bravia 9 II. An RGB mini-LED with incredibly high peak brightness, per RTINGS. It costs more and has two HDMI 2.1 ports.
