A subtitle can be bright white against a black night sky without lighting the sky around it. That’s a good illustration of what the 2026 B6 buys you from the bottom of LG’s OLED range. The more expensive decision is whether you also need enough brightness to fight a window at two in the afternoon.

Pros

  • Deep blacks and wide viewing angles on the independently tested 65-inch set. 1
  • Four 4K/120Hz inputs for consoles, a PC and an audio return.

Cons

  • Strong daylight can overwhelm the screen. 1
  • Slow film pans can look uneven despite excellent response in games. 1

Display & Room Lighting

  • 4K OLED
  • Individually lit pixels
  • Dolby Vision

On its 65-inch B6GUA, RTINGS found deep blacks without halos and strong color accuracy before calibration. That suits a night scene full of small lights, or a film with frequent subtitles. There’s also a practical benefit for people at opposite ends of a sofa. Both can see a convincing image without aiming the furniture straight at the center. The tested screen reflected bright windows and struggled in a very bright room. 1

Motion & Gaming

  • 120Hz native refresh
  • Four HDMI inputs
  • Variable refresh rate

OLED pixels change quickly. That helps a high-frame-rate game keep fine detail in motion. A slow camera pan in a film shot at a low frame rate can reveal each step from one frame to the next, as RTINGS observed. Try the TV’s motion settings on a familiar film before deciding how much smoothing you want. For a pair of consoles, four 4K/120Hz-capable ports make it easier to leave everything connected. 1

Sizes & Installation

  • 65-inch stand width: 42.1 in
  • 65-inch VESA: 300 × 200 mm

On the 2026 OLED65B6GUA, the feet span 42.1 inches even though the cabinet is 57 inches wide. The installed depth is 8.6 inches. For a wall mount, the hole pattern on this size is 300 × 200 mm. LG also sold a B6 years ago, so match the complete model number when checking a bracket or deciding whether old accessories will fit.

Picture Processing

  • α8 AI Processor Gen3
  • 65-inch upscaling test
  • Dolby Vision

Older programs can look good on this screen too. RTINGS found that the 65-inch B6 enlarged DVDs and other low-resolution material clearly. That helps explain why a disc collection can still be worth watching on a much larger display. For films with Dolby Vision, use a compatible app or player so the TV receives the film’s scene-specific HDR instructions. 1

Smart TV & Audio

  • webOS 26
  • AirPlay 2 & Google Cast
  • eARC on HDMI 2

LG’s webOS 26 runs the TV apps. AirPlay 2 and Google Cast let members of the household send supported content from their phones. The B6 has stereo speakers, and HDMI 2 is the eARC connection for a soundbar. In a system with two consoles, both can keep a 4K/120Hz input after the soundbar is connected.

Alternatives

RTINGS found the C6 better suited to a brighter room and the B6 broadly similar to the preceding B5. A happy B5 owner who watches after dark has little reason to change. Someone using the TV beside a window every day has a more concrete reason to compare the C6. 1

Verdict

I’d choose the B6 for evening films and console games, particularly for a family that watches from several seats. Spend more when you can point to a room-lighting problem the extra brightness will solve.
