What owners think
The Word on the Street
The proof
Performance
The display itself is a standout, sitting in the 92nd percentile. That OLED contrast is the real deal, and the reflection-free coating actually works. But here's the kicker: gaming scores a 53/100 and HDR lands at 57th percentile. For a 120Hz OLED, that's disappointing. The picture quality overall is just 36th percentile, which means you're paying for a pretty face without the muscle behind it. Audio is a weak spot too, 13th percentile, so budget for a soundbar.

vs Competition
The Sony BRAVIA XR77A95L is the obvious alternative if you want OLED done right. It's bigger, brighter, and actually handles HDR properly. The Samsung Neo QLED QN75QN990FFXZA is the pick for gamers, with better gaming scores and a more responsive panel. Even the TCL QM8K Series 75QM8K gives you more bang for your buck if you're willing to trade OLED for mini-LED. The G6 just doesn't justify its price against any of these.

Value & Pricing
At CAD 3,200, this is a tough sell. You're paying OLED money for a TV that can't keep up with cheaper competitors in gaming and HDR. The Sony BRAVIA XR77A95L and Samsung Neo QLED QN75QN990FFXZA both offer more for the price. Unless you find this on a deep discount, skip it.

Overview
The LG G6 OLED65G6WUA is a weird one. It's got a gorgeous OLED panel and serious social proof, but the numbers tell a different story than the hype. This is a TV that looks stunning in a dark room and falls apart when you ask it to do much else. The reflection-free display is real, and it's lovely, but the smart platform and connectivity are stuck in the past.
Common Questions
Q: Is the LG G6 good for gaming?
Not really. It has a 120Hz panel, but the gaming score is 53/100. You'll get better performance from the Samsung Neo QLED for around the same price.
Q: Does the reflection-free screen actually work?
Yes, it's one of the best features here. The coating genuinely cuts down on glare, which is great for bright rooms. Just don't expect it to fix the mediocre HDR.
Q: Do I need a soundbar with this TV?
Absolutely. The built-in audio is in the 13th percentile, which is rough. Plan on spending extra for a decent soundbar or speakers.
Who Should Skip This
If you're a gamer or someone who cares about HDR, this isn't your TV. Go get the Samsung Neo QLED QN75QN990FFXZA instead. If you want OLED done right, the Sony BRAVIA XR77A95L is the better buy. The LG G6 is only worth considering if you find it heavily discounted and you mostly watch movies in a dark room.
Verdict
Don't buy this TV at full price. The OLED panel is beautiful, but everything around it is underwhelming. If you're dead set on OLED, get the Sony. If you want gaming performance, get the Samsung. The LG G6 is a pretty face with not much behind it.
