Best LG TVs for black levels

#1

Self-lit pixels create impressively deep blacks and striking depth, making movies and games look dramatic without the washed-out grays of many LCDs.

#2

Blacks are consistently deep, rich, and precise, even with room lights on. A few tests found mild black crush in the darkest HDR scenes.

#3

Perfect, inky OLED blacks are a standout strength across dark scenes, helping highlights and shadows feel sharply separated.

#4

The B6 usually delivers the deep black levels expected from OLED. One detailed test, however, found greyish raised blacks in particular dark scenes.

#5

OLED blacks are generally deep and inky, but a few samples showed raised blacks or crushed near-black detail before adjustment. Small setting changes usually restore the expected depth.

#6

Deep blacks are a standout improvement over earlier LG LCDs, creating convincing nighttime scenes. Complex high-contrast images can still look raised or lose detail.

#7

Dark-picture depth varies dramatically by evaluation and screen size. Some find deep blacks, but raised blacks and weak contrast are notable concerns in more demanding testing.

#8

Dark scenes generally have deep, convincing blacks for an LCD, although the result varies by content and does not match OLED precision.

#9

The black level can look deep at first glance, but dark scenes frequently appear gray and washed out. This is a weakness for atmospheric films and games.

#10

Black levels are a consistent weakness in expert testing, tending toward dark gray or charcoal rather than inky black. That limits the screen’s cinematic impact in darker material.

#11

Dark scenes often appear gray or hazy rather than genuinely black, although some viewers perceive deeper blacks in brighter images.

#12

Blacks look noticeably gray instead of deep, the most consistent and consequential image complaint.
