Owners keep the C6 for the OLED picture, which impresses people coming from LED and IPS screens, and they accept a smaller new remote that some of them dislike.
The picture is the reason people buy it and the thing they are happiest with: one owner who nearly chose a Sony LED set instead came away stunned after a weekend with the C6, and another who bought it alongside a cheaper TCL agreed the LG is the better set, if not by as much as the price gap suggests.
The redesigned remote is the clearest complaint. Owners stepping up from a C2 or C3 miss the old remote and are annoyed to have to relearn a different one, though one owner argues it does everything the big remote did with far fewer buttons and is less bulky.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
Once the set is on the wall or the desk, the picture is what still gets talked about. Owners post side-by-side shots against their old IPS monitors and game screenshots to show off the contrast, and the general feeling is that OLED was worth waiting for. Size is mostly a happy story too: people say you adjust to a big screen quickly and cannot imagine going smaller, and several are eyeing the 42-inch model as a desk display or the 83-inch as a wall filler. One owner who compared it directly with an LG B9ii rated that set's picture clearly higher, so the C6 is not the top of LG's own line in every owner's eyes.
The adjustment most people mention is the remote. Owners arriving from earlier C-series sets find the new one a step down and go looking for ways to keep using their old one. Value is the other quiet trade-off: one owner who bought a C6 and a much cheaper TCL in the same trip is still weighing whether the LG's advantage justifies the difference.
The longevity accounts are encouraging but need a caveat. The C6 name belongs to both a 2016 and a 2026 model, and the strongest long-term story here is a ten-year-old 4K 60Hz C6V still in daily home cinema use with no burn-in or image retention. Other owners describe LG OLEDs from the same family lasting well: a G1 at around 13,000 hours as a PC display with no burn-in but pixels dying at the panel edges, and a C1 that ran roughly 18,000 hours before burn-in appeared in the centre where news presenters sit. Burn-in itself divides owners: some have run OLEDs for years with none, others have photos of it, and the ones who avoid it credit moderate brightness, the built-in OLED care settings, and letting the refresh cycles run.
Long-term accounts of the current C6 are thin. Most people here have owned it for weeks, and the multi-year evidence comes from the 2016 set or from sibling models like the C1, G1 and CX. That is a reasonable guide to how LG's WOLED panels age, but it is not a record of this particular television, and this page should be read that way.
