LG C6 OLED65C6PUA.ACC 65"

The LG C6 is a 65-inch OLED with killer contrast and a 4.9-star rating from 713 owners, but its HDR brightness and smart platform are showing their age. At CAD 2,000, it's a solid value for dark room movie watchers and gamers who want OLED without paying flagship prices. Just don't expect it to shine in a bright room.

The display is the star here, sitting in the 92nd percentile for a reason. OLED contrast is still the gold standard for dark room viewing, and the 65-inch size gives you that immersive feel without needing a dedicated theater room. Gaming performance is solid at 72nd percentile, with 120Hz support and HDMI 2.1 keeping things smooth for console players. But picture quality and HDR both land at 36th percentile, which tells you this panel doesn't get as bright as newer OLEDs or QLEDs. In a bright living room, you'll notice it. Audio is dead average at 51st percentile, and the smart platform is actually below average at 30th percentile. webOS works, but it's not winning any speed awards.

Stacked against the Sony BRAVIA XR XR77A95L, the LG C6 loses on brightness and processing, but it's also way cheaper. The Samsung Neo QLED QN75QN990FFXZA will crush it in a bright room with that mini-LED brightness, but you're paying a premium for that. The TCL QM8K and Hisense U8 are interesting alternatives if you want more brightness for less money, but you're giving up OLED's perfect blacks. The Roku Pro Series is the budget pick with a better smart platform, but the panel quality isn't in the same league. For pure OLED value, the C6 holds its own, but it's not the best at anything except price-to-OLED ratio.

At CAD 2,000, this is one of the more affordable ways to get a 65-inch OLED. You're not paying for the latest brightness tech or a fancy smart platform, you're paying for that OLED panel and the contrast it delivers. If you watch mostly in a dark or dim room, this is a great deal. If your living room gets a lot of sunlight, you might find yourself squinting during daytime viewing and wondering if you should have gone QLED instead. For the price, it's hard to argue with what you get, as long as you know what you're giving up.

The LG C6 OLED65C6PUA is a 65-inch 4K OLED that leans hard into what OLED does best: deep blacks, wide viewing angles, and that punchy contrast that makes movies look expensive. It's running LG's α11 AI Processor 4K Gen3, which sounds like a mouthful but basically means the upscaling and motion handling are handled by a chip that knows what it's doing. The social proof here is off the charts, 100th percentile in our database, and a 4.9 rating from 713 reviews backs that up.

But here's the thing. This is a TV that's great at being an OLED and just okay at being a smart TV. The picture quality and HDR scores land in the 36th percentile, which is weird for an OLED until you remember this is an older C6 model competing against newer, brighter panels. The display itself is a standout, 92nd percentile, but the smart platform and HDR implementation feel dated. You're buying the panel, not the software.

Skip this if you watch TV in a bright room or you're picky about smart TV interfaces. The HDR brightness is a weak spot, and webOS here feels sluggish compared to newer platforms. If you need something that pops in daylight, look at a mini-LED QLED like the Samsung Neo QLED or TCL QM8K instead. And if you want the best possible OLED picture, save up for the Sony A95L.

Buy this if you want a big OLED for a dark room and you don't care about having the brightest HDR or the snappiest smart interface. It's a movie lover's TV on a budget. Gamers will be happy with the 120Hz and HDMI 2.1, and the social proof suggests most owners are thrilled. Just don't expect it to blow you away in a bright living room, and plan on adding a soundbar if you care about audio.
