LG’s 2026 OLED G6 and C6 TVs: Brighter Pictures and AI Upscaling

LG has begun accepting preorders for its next generation of OLED TVs, the LG OLED evo G6 and OLED evo C6, with shipments expected to begin in late April 2026. The novel models promise increased brightness, improved AI upscaling and gaming features.

LG G6 OLED evo: Premium Brightness and Contrast

The LG G6 OLED evo will be available in screen sizes ranging from 55 to 97 inches, with prices starting at $2,499. LG highlights the G6’s new Hyper Radiant panel, which aims to deliver up to 20% increased brightness compared to previous models. The G6 utilizes an improved tandem OLED panel, stacking two blue OLED displays with one green and red OLED screen to achieve a brighter picture with true blacks and high contrast.

Notably, LG has addressed a banding issue that affected some previous OLED panels. This issue, which appeared as visible steps in color or contrast gradients, has been corrected in the 2026 tandem OLED TVs.

LG C6 OLED evo: Accessible Performance with Key Upgrades

The LG C6 OLED evo will be offered in 42 to 83-inch sizes, starting at $1,399. For the first time, LG is extending features previously reserved for its flagship TVs to the C6 series, specifically on 77-inch and 83-inch models designated as LG C6H. These larger C6 models will also feature the Hyper Radiant technology.

Smaller C6 models (65 inches and below) will receive upgrades including LG’s new Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen3. All C6 models will be at least 20% brighter than previous WOLED displays.

AI Upscaling and Gaming Features

LG has enhanced its Dual AI upscaling technology, demonstrating the ability to upscale 720p SDR video to near-native 4K HDR quality. IGN reports that upscaled and native 4K footage appeared virtually indistinguishable.

Both the G6 and C6 are geared towards gamers, offering a 165Hz refresh rate, support for Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).

Premium Care Offer and Availability

Customers who preorder either the LG G6 or C6 OLED evo TV between March 4 and March 13, 2026, can purchase a one- or two-year LG Premium Care plan for $1. This offer is not available in Florida. Select models also include a free stand and installation. Preorders are expected to ship the week of April 27, 2026, or as product becomes available. LG also offers free professional wall mounting with a free matching TV wall mount.
