LG G6 improvements over G5

The G6 is the flagship refinement story: lower reflections, brighter highlights, smoother gradation and fuller built-in sound.

01

Reflection Free Premium coating

G6 adds an ultra-low-reflection surface treatment on key sizes, reducing distracting reflections in bright rooms.

Fact: The supplied research notes list reflection handling at under 0.5% on 55-inch to 83-inch models.

Customer benefit

They can watch in a bright lounge without seeing as much window glare, lamp glare or room reflection on the screen.

02

Primary RGB Tandem 2.0

G6 moves to the next generation of tandem panel technology, improving the flagship brightness and colour story.

Fact: Tandem OLED stacks light-emitting layers so the brightness workload is shared across the panel.

Customer benefit

The picture has more punch while still keeping the deep OLED black level customers expect from a premium TV.

03

Hyper Radiant Color

The Tandem 2.0 system is paired with Hyper Radiant Color for a more vivid and lifelike colour presentation.

Fact: The colour upgrade is tied to the panel generation, not just a picture-mode preset.

Customer benefit

Nature programmes, animation, sport kits and bright HDR scenes look richer without needing customers to understand panel technology.

04

Higher peak highlights

The supplied research notes describe a substantial 20% increase in peak highlight brightness over the previous generation.

Fact: Peak highlight brightness is what gives stars, headlights and sun glints their sparkle in HDR.

Customer benefit

Small bright details such as stars, car headlights, sunlight and explosions have more sparkle and realism.

05

13-bit luminance processing

G6 adds a 13-bit luminance processor for more precise control of brightness steps and highlight detail.

Fact: 13-bit luminance allows finer brightness-step control than 12-bit luminance handling.

Customer benefit

Bright scenes hold more detail, so clouds, snow and reflections are less likely to look washed out.

06

Improved gradation

12-bit colour and 13-bit luma processing help create smoother transitions in smoke, fog, sunsets and other difficult gradients.

Fact: The supplied notes describe the processing precision as four times the mathematical colour-and-light step handling.

Customer benefit

Slow, cinematic scenes look cleaner because colour transitions appear smoother and less digital.

07

Cleaner shadow detail

The more precise processing improves dark-scene refinement, helping reduce blocky artefacts and reveal fine shadow detail.

Fact: OLED can turn pixels off for black, but processing decides how much texture is preserved just above black.

Customer benefit

Night scenes are easier to follow, with more visible texture in dark clothing, rooms and backgrounds.

08

Newer Alpha 11 processor

G6 moves from Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen 2 to Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen 3.

Fact: The processor upgrade supports the G6's picture, upscaling and acoustic tuning changes.

Customer benefit

The flagship model gets the newest picture engine, so processing, upscaling and image refinement are all more future-facing.

09

Richer acoustic tuning

G6 adds a warmer audio profile with stronger low-end bass and more forward vocal frequencies.

Fact: The speaker array remains a 4.2-channel, 60W class system, but the tuning is warmer and more vocal-forward.

Customer benefit

Dialogue is easier to hear and action scenes feel fuller before the customer adds a separate soundbar.

LG C6 improvements over C5

The C6 is the performance leap: flagship Alpha 11 processing, stronger upscaling, selected tandem panels and a higher PC refresh ceiling.

01

Flagship Alpha 11 processor

C6 moves from the Alpha 9 AI Processor Gen 8 to the flagship Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen 3.

Fact: LG positions Alpha 11 Gen 3 as the 2026 flagship processing platform, previously reserved for higher-tier picture performance.

Customer benefit

The TV has more processing power to improve picture detail, motion and streaming quality before the image reaches the screen.

02

Dual AI Super Resolution

The new processor enables a dual-pass approach that cleans noise and enhances texture detail more strongly than C5.

Fact: Two processing passes means noise clean-up and texture enhancement are handled as separate jobs.

Customer benefit

Older shows, broadcast TV and lower-quality streams can look sharper and less noisy, so more of their content library benefits.

03

12-bit processing pipeline

C6 adds more precise internal picture processing, helping reduce colour banding in gradients such as sunsets, fog and skies.

Fact: Higher internal precision helps smooth subtle steps between similar shades.

Customer benefit

Scenes with skies, smoke or shadows look smoother and more natural, with fewer obvious stripes or blocks.

04

165Hz PC gaming

C6 increases the PC gaming ceiling from the C5's 144Hz VRR support to up to 165Hz on compatible setups.

Fact: 165Hz refreshes the image up to 165 times per second; LG OLED gaming response is rated in the 0.1ms class.

Customer benefit

PC gamers get smoother motion and a more responsive feel in fast games when paired with a compatible gaming PC.

05

Tandem OLED on selected sizes

Selected C6 models add dual-stacked Tandem OLED panel technology, distributing workload across the panel for improved long-term durability.

Fact: The supplied notes call out 48-inch, 77-inch and 83-inch C6 variants for tandem panel technology.

Customer benefit

Customers buying a larger screen get extra reassurance for long-term use, especially in busy homes where the TV is on for hours.

06

Better near-black desktop clarity

Advanced spatial-temporal dithering helps refine near-black grey tones, improving dark interfaces, menus and desktop monitor use.

Fact: Near-black control matters most when viewing close up, where desktop menus and dark game screens reveal panel handling.

Customer benefit

Dark menus, game loading screens and computer desktops look cleaner when viewed up close.

07

Stronger streaming clean-up

The dual-engine upscaling and flagship processor give C6 a stronger story for improving lower-quality streaming and broadcast sources.

Fact: Upscaling is most valuable for live TV, YouTube and older HD content, not pristine native 4K sources.

Customer benefit

Netflix, YouTube, live TV and compressed streams are more forgiving, so customers are not only relying on pristine 4K discs to see a good picture.

LG B6 improvements over B5

The B6 story is a brighter entry OLED with newer Alpha 8 processing and a panel structure designed to handle everyday room light better.

01

Higher brightness

B6 adds Brightness Booster and a high-output panel structure, giving it a stronger brightness story than B5.

Fact: B6 moves the entry line from Perfect Black and Wide Color Gamut messaging into Brightness Booster territory.

Customer benefit

The picture is easier to enjoy in normal living rooms, especially when lamps are on or daylight is coming in.

02

More impactful HDR highlights

The brightness improvement helps sunlight, reflections and special effects look punchier in HDR content.

Fact: HDR is most noticeable in small bright details, not just whole-screen brightness.

Customer benefit

Movies, sport and games feel more dramatic because bright moments stand out instead of looking flat.

03

Better suited to everyday room lighting

The brighter B6 panel helps the picture stay more vibrant in moderately lit living spaces.

Fact: OLED black level is strongest when the screen can also keep highlights visible in ambient light.

Customer benefit

Customers do not have to make the room dark every time they want a rich OLED picture.

04

Newer Alpha 8 processor

B6 moves from Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen 2 to Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen 3, giving it the newer 2026 processing platform.

Fact: Processing affects streamed TV, older broadcasts, motion and picture clean-up before the image reaches the panel.

Customer benefit

Everyday viewing should look cleaner and more polished, particularly with apps and mixed-quality content.
