LG B6 OLED65B6GUA 65"

The LG B6 is a gaming monster with a 0.1ms response and 99th percentile gaming performance, but its picture quality is bottom-third. Great for competitive gamers on a budget under $1,900, but movie lovers should steer clear.

The B6's gaming chops are top-shelf. That 0.1ms response time puts it in the 99th percentile of our database—quite literally the best gaming TV you can buy right now. Combined with 120Hz refresh and full HDMI 2.1 support, you're getting 4K at high frame rates without tearing, stutter, or input lag. The 93rd percentile display score backs that up: the OLED panel delivers those perfect blacks and an infinite contrast ratio that makes HDR games look stunning. Motion is smooth as butter, and the dedicated Game Mode keeps processing minimal.

On the flip side, the picture quality is a letdown. While HDR format support is solid at Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG, the panel's peak brightness is limited. That drags the overall picture quality down to a mediocre 36th percentile score. Bright scenes lack the punch you'd get from a modern QD-OLED or a mini-LED like the Samsung QN900F, and HDR content doesn't hit with the same impact. It's a TV built for speed, not beauty.

Against the competition, the B6 is a one-trick pony. The Sony BRAVIA 5 K55XR50 will likely trounce it in picture quality and motion processing for movies, while the Samsung Neo QLED QN900F's mini-LED delivers dramatically higher brightness and color volume. The TCL QM8K offers similar gaming chops with better HDR punch and a more modern smart platform at a lower price. The Hisense U7 Series is a solid budget alternative that sacrifices nothing in gaming but gives you better overall picture. The B6's sole advantage is its pixel response time—0.1ms is faster than any of those rivals—and that matters if you're a competitive gamer who can feel every millisecond. For everyone else, there's a lot more value in the newer TVs.

Pricing is all over the place. The LG B6 varies by a staggering $857 between sellers, with the lowest we've spotted at $1,900 and the highest upwards of $2,757. At the low end, that's an okay deal for a 65-inch OLED that doubles as the fastest gaming TV on the market. Snag it for under two grand, and you're getting elite-level gaming performance for a reasonable price. At the full retail end, though, you're paying a huge premium for older picture tech. Shop carefully, and make sure you're getting the lower price.

The LG B6 Series OLED65B6GUA is a gaming monster. It landed in our database's top 1% for gaming performance, thanks to a native 120Hz panel, HDMI 2.1, and a blistering 0.1ms response time. All the VRR standards are here—G-Sync, FreeSync Premium, and ALLM—so this thing eats fast-paced action for breakfast. It's an absolute beast for competitive play, and the 65.3-inch OLED screen gives you infinite contrast and deep blacks that make those dark scenes pop.

But that's where the party ends. Picture quality overall is underwhelming, falling into the bottom third of TVs we've tested. The older OLED tech just can't keep up with modern mini-LEDs or newer OLEDs when it comes to brightness and color volume. So you're getting a speed demon that's amazing for games but mediocre for everything else. If you're a hardcore gamer who values response over all else, this TV is a rare find. For movie lovers, it's a tough sell.

Anyone who cares about picture quality for movies or HDR should skip the B6. Its 36th percentile picture score means almost any modern TV in this price range will look significantly better in bright scenes and color accuracy. Also give it a pass if you want a snappy smart TV experience or broad community support—the webOS here is mid-tier, and social proof is practically nonexistent. You're paying for gaming speed, and if you don't need that, there's much better all-around performance elsewhere.

The LG B6 65-inch is a niche star. If your TV exists primarily for gaming and you'll accept some visual compromises for the fastest response time we've ever measured, it's a compelling choice under $2,000. But for mixed use—movies, sports, HDR content—it's a hard pass. Most buyers should look at newer OLEDs or mini-LEDs that don't force you to choose between speed and picture quality.
