Compare LG G6 vs LG MRGB95B

Across movies, sports, games, SDR, and HDR, the G6 delivers a brilliant, cinematic image with deep blacks, rich color, and strong detail. Most criticism centers on firmware-specific flaws rather than the core panel.

The huge, vivid picture can be dazzling, especially after adjustment, but inconsistent accuracy and LCD limitations divide assessments.

Most modes are well balanced after proper setup, but some samples show green, pink, or warm magenta tint, especially off-axis or in selected scenes.

Factory gray tones and white balance are significantly off, and color temperature can shift with scene brightness.

Full-screen HDR brightness around the mid-400-nit range is a meaningful OLED upgrade, improving sports, bright scenes, and room-light performance.

Peak output is exceptional, but the screen dims considerably after roughly a minute of continuous bright imagery.

Inky blacks, precise highlights, and cinematic depth make the G6 superb for lights-off movie viewing.

Strong contrast can make dark films striking, but occasional LCD haze, blooming and weak shadow detail prevent uniformly excellent nighttime viewing.

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

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

Filmmaker Mode can look natural and reference-like, especially after firmware fixes. Sample-to-sample tint and changing HDR tracking caused some inconsistent early results.

Careful picture presets can produce faithful-looking films, but significant factory color and HDR calibration errors keep accuracy inconsistent.

Perfect OLED blacks beside intense highlights create exceptional depth and punch. This remains a standout advantage in both dark and bright rooms.

Deep blacks and bright highlights create impressive contrast for an LCD, but performance in tricky dark scenes does not consistently rival OLED.

Color is usually natural, vivid, and highly accurate out of the box, particularly in Filmmaker Mode. Some samples showed green tint, warm magenta, or firmware-related saturation errors.

Color is a point of contention: some scenes show remarkably natural skin tones, while measured factory SDR and HDR settings reveal major errors and color-temperature shifts.

The tandem OLED implementation delivers the cinematic blacks, depth, and color that make OLED especially compelling for movies.

RGB backlighting can produce exceptional brightness and eye-catching colors, yet its LCD foundation still shows familiar contrast limitations.

Fast response, extremely low input lag, four full-bandwidth HDMI ports, and rich HDR make the G6 an elite gaming TV across consoles and PCs.

Responsive controls and vibrant HDR scenes make games engaging, but one laboratory assessment found heavy motion blur and a laptop test exposed VRR trouble.

Built-in sound is fuller and bassier than the G5 and adequate for everyday TV, but it falls well short of the picture quality and usually deserves a soundbar.

Built-in sound is serviceable and dialogue-forward, but the overall tonal range is only average and may warrant a soundbar.

High full-screen brightness and excellent anti-reflection treatment make this one of the strongest OLEDs for bright living rooms without sacrificing deep blacks.

Immense brightness keeps images vivid in rooms with large windows, although the glossy surface can reflect lights and nearby objects.

Dithering and dark-scene noise are greatly reduced, and DVD grain is usually preserved. Compressed HDR can still reveal flicker or temporal noise.

Compression artifacts and macroblocking are reduced effectively, but the smoothing can take a little fine texture away.

Small highlights are intensely bright and full-screen HDR output is substantially stronger than before. Some firmware versions undertracked real scenes despite excellent test-pattern results.

Explosive highlights, brilliant outdoor scenes and bright game effects are among the strongest reasons to want this television.

The combination of bright highlights, deep blacks, broad color, and fine detail creates spectacular HDR. Firmware and Dolby Vision inconsistencies prevent completely uniform results.

HDR is spectacularly bright and colorful, but a few scenes need careful tuning and measured accuracy falls short of its visual punch.

The G6 reaches exceptional OLED peaks, often around 2500–3100 nits and higher in tiny highlights. Measurements vary by mode and firmware, but brightness is a major strength.

The screen reaches extraordinary brightness that makes high-impact HDR and daytime viewing especially impressive.

Fast sports and movie movement is generally excellent. Default processing can look heavy-handed, but better-tuned modes restore natural motion.

Controls feel immediate in game mode, supporting responsive console and PC play.

OLED pixel response is nearly instantaneous, producing crisp motion and exceptionally responsive gaming.

Slow LCD pixel transitions create obvious motion smearing, particularly at 120Hz and 165Hz.

Off-axis viewing is generally excellent, though extreme seats can reveal a green or pink shift on white objects.

Image color and brightness deteriorate noticeably when viewed off-center, making wide seating setups a poor match.

The glossy anti-reflection coating suppresses glare extremely well while preserving image depth, contrast, and saturated color.

The glossy screen does little to soften mirror-like reflections from nearby lights, even though the panel is bright enough for daytime use.

PC gaming reaches up to 165Hz, while consoles are exceptionally well served at 120Hz. The maximum 165Hz mode can trade some gradation and chroma quality for speed.

Fast PC modes are enticing on paper, but slow pixel transitions and flickering at the highest settings undermine fluid gameplay.

VRR remains smooth and tear-free up to 4K HDR 165Hz, giving PCs a very wide operating range.

The highest refresh and motion-boost modes are promising, but a PC test required disabling the boosted option to stop flickering.

Uniformity is very good overall, with clean gray fields and strong sports performance. One sample showed minor edge tint and faint dark vertical streaks.

Dark scenes are impressively even, but bright images can reveal darker edges and some uneven patches.

The revised layout is cleaner for some users, yet missing backlighting, charging, and a straightforward source button keeps it from feeling fully premium.

An off-center Home key and hidden mute/input operations make the remote particularly awkward in the dark.

The on-screen pointer initially jumps around until its movement settings are adjusted.

Per-pixel OLED lighting eliminates the halos and bloom associated with backlit TVs, preserving clean high-contrast edges.

A little haloing around bright objects is manageable in some scenes but clearly visible around subtitles and other high-contrast details in others.

The tested panel showed no visible dirty-screen effect on full-field gray slides.

The middle of the panel is relatively clean, but wide pans and bright backgrounds may reveal dirty-screen patches and darkening near the sides.

Sports and games look smooth, responsive, and largely free of ghosting or obvious artifacts.

Fast action looks crisp to some eyes, but detailed response measurements reveal pervasive blur across sports and games.

Reflections are greatly reduced without using a matte finish, so the screen keeps glossy depth and strong black retention. A faint magenta tint can appear in reflected light.

Most ambient reflections are tolerable thanks to the bright panel, but direct, glossy reflections can remain distracting.

Dark-scene texture is often excellent and preserved without raising blacks. A few firmware versions and challenging scenes showed mild crush or required a small Near Black adjustment.

Deep backgrounds can lose subtle detail, especially in moderately lit rooms, making dark scenes less convincing than on OLED.

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

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

The sturdy, height-adjustable pedestal works well with soundbars where included. Several wall-mount variants omit a stand entirely, creating extra cost for tabletop users.

Premium-looking blade feet hold the set securely and complement its understated styling.

FreeSync, G-Sync, and HDMI VRR work smoothly up to very high frame rates, with only the usual OLED flicker possible in some static game scenes.

VRR compatibility is extensive for consoles, but one PC tester experienced flickering and rainbow artifacts with a boosted setting.

Filmmaker Mode and Calman support can deliver reference-grade accuracy with extensive adjustment. One firmware version’s broken HDR color controls created a notable exception.

Extensive picture settings can substantially improve SDR accuracy, but reaching a good balance takes effort and HDR accuracy remains problematic.

The Alpha 11 Gen 3 processor improves gradation, clarity, and detail, but low-quality sources can trigger ringing or aggressive smoothing that erases fine texture.

The picture processor maintains impressive detail and clarity during demanding, saturated HDR sequences.

Cinematic Movement controls panning judder effectively without strongly exaggerating the soap-opera effect, though some smoothing is needed.

Most film and TV sources play with proper cadence, though an unusual 25p-over-60p signal can introduce timing errors.

AI Sound Pro can produce sufficient or improved loudness, yet other tests found the speakers too quiet until pushed near their upper range.

The speakers can play loudly enough for a somewhat noisy room, but tonal balance becomes uneven near the top of the range.

The flat Gallery chassis and included zero-gap or slim mounts create an especially clean, picture-like wall installation.

The flat back and flush-mount design allow a tidy, close-to-the-wall installation.

Rich, bright color is one of the G6’s defining strengths, with bold highlights retaining impressive saturation and realism.

Bright, saturated HDR colors are a standout attraction, especially in animation and nature footage. SDR color volume and consistency are less convincing.

The new processing pipeline produces exceptionally smooth HDR10 gradients and greatly reduces the G5’s banding. Very dark compressed material and some Dolby Vision scenes can still expose artifacts.

Near-black images show little visible vertical banding, and most of the dark screen stays remarkably even.

Game Optimizer provides quick, customizable access to frame rate, VRR status, genre presets, black level, HGiG, and latency controls.

Game Optimizer places frame-rate, VRR and image controls within easy reach rather than burying them in the main menus.

Cinematic Movement can add useful smoothness without obvious artifacts, while stronger settings may hesitate or create an artificial look.

Frame interpolation smoothly reduces film stutter without an obvious soap-opera effect at modest settings.

Complex color transitions are exceptionally smooth and among the best seen on OLED. Only heavily compressed or Dolby Vision material occasionally reveals residual issues.

Fine shades and subtle transitions add richness to familiar footage, revealing tonal variations that might otherwise be missed.

Good DVDs and HD sources can look crisp and detailed, but heavily compressed broadcasts expose ringing, artifacts, and inconsistent processing.

Old DVDs and softer streaming video clean up well, with reduced compression artifacts and an acceptably detailed picture.

DVD and HD material often gains crisp texture and careful detail, especially from cleaner sources. The weakest compressed broadcasts can still expose overprocessing.

Lower-resolution DVDs and older streams gain clarity without conspicuous over-sharpening.
