I tested the LG C6 OLED for a week, and the colors made me question my Mini LED loyalty

One of LG's flagship OLED TVs got a refresh with the C6, and it won a ZDNET Lab Award for the most accurate color reproduction.

In a recent review, ZDNET tested the LG C6 OLED television for a week, discovering that the bright colors it produced left the reviewer questioning their loyalty to Mini LED displays. The updated OLED panel boasts a brighter picture compared to its predecessor, accompanied by various menu options designed to enhance the viewing experience.

The LG C6 OLED TV includes dedicated picture modes for live sports and gaming, Dolby Vision HDR, and Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound. Furthermore, the sleek design houses cutting-edge technology behind its ultra-thin ¼-inch screen. The redesigned processor utilizes machine learning algorithms to automatically adjust picture and sound settings according to the environment, while manual fine-tuning is available for those who prefer complete control.

The TV offers seven preset picture modes for quick adjustments or manual calibration for cine- and audiophiles. The LG C6 OLED also handles gaming well, providing a Game Optimizer mode that lowers input latency and utilizes Nvidia G-Sync VRR for smooth motion in various genres. However, the price point is a significant drawback, with the 65-inch model starting at $2,700.

Additionally, while the refreshed OLED panel delivers an impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, it does not match the brightness levels of some other models, such as the Hisense U8 and TCL QM8L.
