Best 2026 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

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

#7

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.

#8

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