LG C6 OLED.
LG's 2026 mid-range OLED: slightly brighter than the C5, up to 165Hz on all four HDMI 2.1 ports, and $999.99 for 55 inches at lg.com this Black Friday.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The C6 doesn't do anything the C5 couldn't, but it does everything slightly better: a touch brighter, 165Hz for PC gaming, a better remote. That made it hard to recommend at $1,999.99 for 55 inches. At $999.99 it's the C-series OLED to buy new this season. Budget for a soundbar, and if you find a C5 well below this price, that's still a fine TV.”

Precision Engineering
Brighter C-Series OLED
Tom's Guide measured 1,355 nits and TechRadar 1,438 nits on a 10% HDR window: a modest step over the C5 with the same deep contrast and accurate color.
165Hz on Four HDMI 2.1 Ports
4K/120Hz for consoles on every input and up to 165Hz for PCs, with VRR, G-Sync and FreeSync.
New Magic Remote and Faster webOS
A redesigned remote and a quicker processor make the smart TV interface less of a chore; the AI extras add little.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Tom's Guide (Editor's Choice) and TechRadar (5 stars) both rate it among 2026's best OLEDs for picture and gaming; both also call it only a small step over the C5 and fault its weak speakers.
