Owners keep the B6 for an OLED picture that has held up through years of gaming, sport and movies, with some sets still going strong after nearly a decade.
Panel longevity is praised. Owners describe B6 sets from 2016 and 2017 with thousands of hours, in one case close to 10k, and no burn-in. One owner got a free panel replacement from LG two years after the warranty ended, and that set still looks perfect seven years on.
Owners are divided on black levels. Some say deep blacks are what they bought an OLED for and what they got. Others are less convinced, and one says the gap in a dark room is not that large.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
What keeps people happy is the picture. Owners talk about the quality being what makes the set worth having, and about blacks that look like blacks. One owner of a set from 2017 says the picture still looks great for an older TV. Blooming is not something these owners raise as a problem, and none of the accounts on it were negative.
Some habits have become routine. One owner keeps a black wallpaper and uses screensavers when the TV is not in use. Another says the set runs warm enough to heat their house. Owners also point out that a replacement panel can be cheap if one fails, and one suggests looking at a B6 in a store before buying.
The best accounts are strong. A B6 from 2016, used heavily for gaming, sport, movies and streaming, shows no burn-in after thousands of hours. A 2017 set with almost 10k hours has none either. One owner's 65 inch panel was replaced free by LG two years past warranty, with a C8 panel and a couple of adapter cables, and has been perfect for about seven years since.
Failures do appear, though. One owner had an early B6 fail after three years. Another account describes red fading and subtitles imprinted on an OLED TV after four years, though the comment does not make the model clear. The long-term evidence is thin: only a handful of owners describe years of use, and burn-in has too few accounts to judge either way. Treat the good reports as encouraging, not as a guarantee.
Parts named in the 4 accounts that describe a failure
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
38 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Among the 8 owner accounts here that gave a duration, 4 described a failure. Parts named most: panel (burn-in), backlight, screen (burn-in).
Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
