tech· A press review of 2 outlets

  1. Who it's for: With high quality picture and audio, the U8QG is a great option for streaming, live TV, and console gaming. The 165Hz refresh rate gives you smooth motion in fast-paced scenes so you never miss a second of the action in live sports, movies and shows, or games. With a Pantone Validated screen, you know you're getting some of the best color accuracy you can buy outside of an OLED model.

  2. Why we like it: The picture quality is top-notch with the LG C6, offering some of the boldest and brightest colors we've seen in an OLED at our lab. The refreshed panel provides better contrast by controlling color bleed and backlight blooming, reducing the risk of a halo effect around objects set against a dark background.

  3. ZDNET awarded two TVs a Lab Award badge in Aug. for the most accurate color reproduction: the LG C6 and the Hisense U8. Our lab team evaluated each TV's color reproduction across different picture modes using the industry-standard display color calibration software, Calman, and calculated both color gamut and color accuracy to determine the winners. The TCL Q8ML also impressed us with its color accuracy, earning it third place in our Filmmaker mode testing.
