Technical Assessment
Performance
Current professional ranking/review evidence used for field-relative merits and limitations; no round-up claim was treated as a measured benchmark unless the underlying review was available. WOLED, four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, Dolby Vision and webOS 26.
Reliability and Ownership
LG’s mature OLED platform provides useful context, but the B6 itself is new for 2026. Reliability is scored from current build/support evidence and owner feedback without projecting older LG OLED history directly onto this model.
Pros and Cons
