Owners keep the G6 for its picture and its blacks, and many bought it as the step up from an older C-series set, accepting OLED's burn-in caution and a steep price to get there.
Picture quality is the clearest praise, with owners putting it above the mini-LED sets they compared it against. One owner who went from an LG OLED to mini-LED and back says the G6 brought back what was missing, and another with a Bravia 9 II sitting beside his G6 says the LG's black levels are still ahead.
Burn-in risk is the clearest complaint. Owners raise OLED's shorter lifespan relative to LCD, and one shopper chose a mini-LED over the G6 specifically to avoid worrying about static content, while others with older LG OLEDs used as desk displays weigh the same risk.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
What keeps delighting people is the contrast. Owners describe deep blacks and rich colour that mini-LED sets do not match, and the ones who tried living with a mini-LED first say they came back to OLED for exactly that. Several have it in rooms that are bright by day and dark at night, and they talk about reflection handling as the thing that decides whether the picture holds up in daylight.
The adjustments are about money and size. Price divides owners: some say a discounted G5 is the smarter buy because the visible difference is not worth the jump, others are planning an 83 inch G6 for a big wall but draw a hard line at what they will spend. The upgrade decision splits too. C1 and C2 owners are moving up to 65 inch G6 sets for gaming and new releases, some certain it is worth it and some openly hoping it will be.
The reliability question owners actually raise is burn-in. Some accept OLED's limited lifespan as the nature of the technology, some sit close to it as a desk display and watch for it, and at least one buyer walked away to a mini-LED rather than manage static content. One owner mentions a slight purple tint on the screen only when direct sunlight hits the room, not as a fault but as a condition.
Long-term accounts for the G6 are thin. It is a new set, and most owners here are weeks in or still deciding; nobody reports a failure, a repair, or burn-in on their own G6 yet. Treat the durability picture as unwritten rather than clean.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
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.
