#1 LG G6
5.0

Per-pixel OLED dimming precisely separates stars and highlights from black backgrounds without blooming.

Pros: picture quality, peak brightness

Cons: value for money, sound quality

#2 LG B6E OLED
5.0

Per-pixel OLED control achieves the effect of perfect local dimming, with no zone transitions to distract from dark scenes.

Pros: contrast ratio, black levels

Cons: reflection handling, color accuracy

#3 LG C6H OLED
5.0

With lighting controlled pixel by pixel, black-to-bright transitions appear precise and free of LCD-style dimming-zone compromises.

Pros: gaming performance, HDR brightness

Cons: reflection handling, glare resistance

#4 LG QNED92A
3.6

Local dimming substantially deepens blacks and strengthens contrast, yet its algorithms sometimes crush shadows or lag behind moving objects. Performance varies noticeably with scene complexity.

Pros: gaming performance, overall satisfaction

Cons: sound quality, value for money

#5 LG MRGB95B
3.0

Local dimming helps blacks stay deep and controls many halos, but fine objects against dark backgrounds still reveal the limits of zone-based lighting.

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: value for money, viewing angles

#6 LG QNED85A
2.0

The edge-lit local dimming system cannot produce the precise dark-level control of stronger mini-LED models.

Pros: picture quality, maximum volume

Cons: sound quality, bass performance

#7 LG StanByMe 2
2.0

Backlight precision is weak, with larger areas of the screen lighting up when they ideally should remain dark. That hurts contrast control in demanding scenes.

Pros: overall satisfaction, portability and versatility

Cons: value for money, menu responsiveness

#8 LG UA77
1.0

There is no effective local dimming to deepen dark areas, leaving black backgrounds gray and flat.

Pros: viewing angles, smart TV platform

Cons: overall satisfaction, refresh rate

#9 LG Gallery 2026
1.0

Without individually controlled backlight zones, the whole picture remains too gray in dark scenes. It avoids halos but loses the depth that effective local dimming could provide.

Pros: design and appearance, maximum volume

Cons: picture quality, value for money

#10 LG QNED75B
1.0

The screen lacks effective zone-by-zone backlight control, so dark scenes wash out even though severe zone-related halos are not a problem.

Pros: picture quality, color accuracy

Cons: remote control quality, black levels
