LG’s OLED55B6ELC sits in the B6 range, the point where OLED dropped into more mainstream pricing while still taking aim at premium LED LCD sets from Samsung and Sony. The draw is OLED’s per pixel lighting, which means inky blacks and strong contrast without the patchy backlight glow you can see on many LCD TVs. At 55 inches it suits a typical living room setup, and the 4K panel gives you the sharpness needed for modern streaming and console gaming at normal sofa distances.
Who is this TV best suited to?
If you watch films in the evening, OLED’s black levels and shadow detail are the reason to pick this over a bright LCD. Smart TV features cover the basics for apps and catch up, so you may not need an external streamer. It is less compelling for very bright rooms where high end LCD sets can push more peak brightness.
