LG OLED evo C6 65"

The LG OLED evo C6 is a gaming beast with a 0.1ms response time and 120Hz panel, scoring in the 98th percentile for gaming. Picture quality is below average for an OLED, and HDR is just okay. At around $1,091 it's a great deal, but skip it if you're paying anywhere near $2,700.

The C6 is a gaming monster. A 0.1ms response time and 120Hz refresh rate put it in the 98th percentile for gaming in our database. That's top of the charts. FreeSync Premium, G-Sync, VRR, and ALLM are all here, so tearing and stutter are basically non-existent. The Alpha 11 AI processor Gen3 keeps things snappy, and LG claims it's 50% faster than the previous gen. The display itself scores in the 91st percentile, which is impressive. But the picture quality score is a weak spot at the 36th percentile. That's odd for an OLED, and it likely comes down to HDR handling. Dolby Vision is supported, but the HDR score sits at the 54th percentile, which is about average. So you get incredible motion and contrast, but HDR brightness and tone mapping don't blow us away.

Against the Sony BRAVIA 8 K65XR80, the C6 wins on gaming speed and response time, but Sony typically has better out-of-the-box picture accuracy. The Samsung QN990F is a different beast entirely, it's an 8K flagship with a much higher price tag, so it's not a fair fight. The TCL QM8K and Hisense U8 Series are the real threats. Both are mini-LED TVs that get much brighter than the C6, especially in HDR. If you watch a lot of HDR content in a bright room, those might be better picks. But for pure gaming response and OLED contrast, the C6 holds its own.

Pricing is all over the place. US listings range from $1,091 to $2,700, which is a massive spread. At the low end, this TV is a steal. At the high end, you're paying way too much. The best deal we see is around $1,091, and at that price the C6 is hard to beat for a 65-inch OLED with this gaming performance. But if you're looking at the $2,700 listings, you should probably wait for a sale or look elsewhere. The value depends entirely on which store you buy from.

The LG OLED evo C6 is a 65-inch 4K OLED that nails the basics and then some. It's got the Alpha 11 AI processor Gen3, a 120Hz panel, and a 0.1ms response time that gamers will love. The picture is classic OLED: perfect blacks, infinite contrast, and colors that pop even in a bright room thanks to the Brightness Booster.

It's not perfect. The HDR support is middle of the pack, and the picture quality score lands below average in our database. But for gaming and everyday watching, this thing is a beast. If you want a big screen that feels fast and looks great, the C6 makes a strong case.

Skip this if you watch a lot of HDR content in a bright room. The HDR performance is average at best, and mini-LED TVs like the TCL QM8K or Hisense U8 will give you much more punch. Also skip it if you need outdoor viewing, the outdoor score of 50.9 is a real letdown. And if you're paying more than $1,500, you're overpaying for what you get.

Buy this if you're a gamer who wants a big OLED with elite response times and you can find it near the $1,100 mark. It's also great for movie nights in a dark room, where those perfect blacks shine. If you need the brightest HDR picture or you watch TV outdoors, this isn't the one. But for most people, the C6 is a fast, gorgeous TV that does the important stuff really well.
