'It would be my pick': I tested the LG C6 and LG C5 OLED TVs side-by-side, and I'm impressed by the upgrade — but it's not all clear-cut

The LG C5 was easily one of the best TVs released in 2025, as it continued the C-series OLED lineup's long legacy of delivering excellent picture quality and a full range of features at a mid-range OLED price.

When I tested the C5 last year, I awarded it the full five stars in my LG C5 review – thanks to its vibrant yet accurate picture, and its top-tier gaming performance – so its successor, the LG C6, has some big shoes to fill.
