Not to be confused with LG’s 2017 smartphone, the LG G6 is one of the brand’s latest premium OLED TVs, which was announced at CES 2026 in early January. As always, the G-Series model is a step above the new LG C6, and there are some notable improvements to talk about, as LG introduces its new Hyper Radiant Color Tech with yet more brightness boosts.

LG showcased the G6 along with the C6 and new ‘Wallpaper’ W6 at CES 2026, with upgraded RGB Tandem OLED panels. The G6 moves up to the second-generation panel, using a stacked 4-layer design to drastically improve brightness. LG says it also offers improved efficiency and lifespan. With all that said, here’s everything we know so far about the release date, price, and specs.

LG G6 OLED TV release date

We had to wait for LG G6 OLED pre orders to arrive before we could actually be sure of the release date. The premium model was made available to purchase (via pre-orders) on March 5, but these don’t start shipping until March 30. As such, you can consider March 30 the official release date – though not every single size will be available on the same day.

While most sizes ship on March 30, according to the official LG store, the 83-inch model will be made available on May 11, and the 97-inch model on April 20. LG also announced a 48-inch G6 OLED during CES, but no release date or pre-order has been announced or released for this size. It should be noted that UK and European customers are still waiting for any official update.

In the run-up to launch, LG has already knocked down the price of the 2025 models, including the 77-inch G5, which is now $1,000 cheaper and comes with free wall mounting setup and a free TV stand for a limited time.

LG G6 OLED TV specs

Although the W6 was much of LG’s focus at CES 2026, the LG G6 was also on display, specifically the 83″ model that comes with the 2nd-gen RGB Tandem OLED Panel. Like the G5 before it, the new 2026 model will be available in panel sizes ranging from 48 inches to 97 inches, though there have been a few improvements worth talking about.

LG claims the new G6 OLED offers up to 20% higher brightness than the last-gen G5. We reviewed & tested the LG G5 OLED TV, with the highest brightness recorded at 2,519.7 cd/m² (nits) for 10% size window in the HDR Filmmaker mode. The peak brightness of the G6 is claimed to be up to 3,000 nits, and the math roughly checks out as far as the 20% increase goes. However, we’ll have to wait for hands-on testing to figure out the exact results.

One key feature is Hyper Radiant Color Tech, which is new to LG’s 2026 OLEDs. It also features in the cheaper C6, albeit only the two biggest models, while the G6 gets this new tech across 55″ to 83″ sizes. Hyper Radiant Color Tech is yet another aspect of brightness boosting, which LG claims offers “incomparable brightness, perfect black, and perfect color in any light,” helping push up to 3.9x higher brightness, compared to traditional OLED panels like the one in the budget-friendly B6.

The new W6 and G6 televisions with Hyper Radiant Color Tech also benefit from ‘Reflection Free Premium’ to further improve usability in well-lit environments.

LG G6 OLED TV price & size list

As we mentioned, the LG G6 will be available in the same sizes as last year’s G5, 48″ through 97″, though the smallest and largest panels miss out on 2nd-gen RGB Tandem OLED with support for Hyper Radiant Color Tech. The majority of prices were revealed for US and Canada back when pre-orders launched, though there are still some codes – here’s how they look.

• LG G6 48″ – Unknown (we expect $2,099 USD)
• LG G6 55″ – $2,499.99 (USD) / $2,999.99 (CAD)
• LG G6 65″ – $3,399.99 (USD) / $3,999.99 (CAD)
• LG G6 77″ – $4,499.99 (USD) / $5,999.99 (CAD)
• LG G6 83″ – $6,499.99 (USD) / $7,999.99 (CAD)
• LG G6 97″ – $24,499.99 (USD) / CAD unknown

The G-series remains LG’s premium range of OLED TVs, despite the introduction of the W6, and these launch prices remain unchanged from the G5. Last year, the 48-inch model was the only one not available for pre-order in the United States alongside the other models, due to a focus on the UK/EU market, and it is again not available at the moment.

Does the LG G6 OLED TV have Hyper Radiant Color Tech?

Yes, the LG G6 OLED TV does have Hyper Radiant Color Tech, but not for every size. The smallest 48″ and largest 97″ models will not be receiving the upgrade, which promises to offer up to a 20% brightness improvement over the last-gen G-series televisions. Compared to a traditional WOLED panel, LG claims the Hyper Radiant Color Tech boosts brightness by 3.9x.

It’s not immediately obvious why the 48″ and 97″ models haven’t been upgraded; if we were to speculate, the 2nd-gen RGB Tandem OLED panels are not produced in these sizes, leaving those particular models with 1st-gen Tandem, though this hasn’t been confirmed.

Is it worth upgrading to the LG G6 OLED TV?

We’d say that this entirely depends on what you’re upgrading from. The G6 OLED will be one of LG’s brightest OLED TVs to date, so if you’re looking for a premium display for a cinematic experience, the G6 is well worth considering. However, if you already have something like a G5 at home, or something comparable from a rival brand, it makes the upgrade much less worth it.

The introduction of Hyper Radiant Color Tech is a big selling point, and you’ll have to gauge whether the 20% brightness boost with Reflection Free Premium is worth it for you or not. It will certainly be one of the best TVs for gaming in 2026, as well as for any other media you consume on it.
