LG’s 2026 OLED TV lineup reviewed: B6 praised for brightness boost, G6 outshines it in HDR and reflections

LG’s new 2026 OLED TV range includes the entry‑level B6, the mid‑range G6 and the flagship C6. The B6 improves on its predecessor (the B5) with higher peak brightness (about 835 nits) and strong gaming performance, offering an 8.9 ms input lag, four HDMI 2.1 ports and the webOS 26 smart platform. Reviewers note a green‑tint issue, average sound quality and a reflective screen, but consider it a solid value choice at a launch price of roughly $1,999.

In side‑by‑side tests, the G6 delivers a much higher peak HDR brightness of 2,475 nits—about three times the B6’s level—and superior anti‑reflective coating, making it considerably better for bright‑room viewing and high‑dynamic scenes. While the B6 performs adequately in many scenarios, its lower brightness and reflective surface limit its impact compared with the G6. Both models are part of LG’s 2026 OLED portfolio, with the C6 positioned as the top offering.

Overall, the B6 is seen as a good entry‑level OLED for gamers and budget shoppers, whereas the G6 is highlighted as the standout model for those prioritising HDR performance and reduced glare.
