‘It’s by design’: the LG G6 OLED TV’s colors aren’t as punchy as the G5's in its best picture mode — and that’s on purpose, says LG

After eagerly waiting since its unveiling at CES, I finally had a chance to see the LG G6 OLED TV in action. The LG G5 was one of the best TVs of last year and it has since become my reference TV for testing, particularly for my Blu-ray Bounty columns. So naturally, I was excited to see how the LG G6 would compare to the G5.

I got the chance at an LG event recently, so I could see just what the new Primary Tandem RGB OLED 2.0 panel in the G6 (the first generation was introduced in the G5) could muster.
