Compare LG QNED93A / QNED90A vs LG OLED G6 (G64LW, G66LS)

LG QNED93A is a television that, at first glance, appears to be a solid step forward compared to previous LCD models from this brand. On paper, we get a lot: a significantly larger number of dimming zones, a 144 Hz refresh rate for gamers, support for all HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, and WebOS with a new Magic remote, which still ranks among the most user-friendly operating systems. The QNED93A shines the most in gaming applications. Four fully functional HDMI 2.1 ports allow you to connect consoles and computers without any limitations, and the low input lag is maintained at both 120 and 60 Hz. For PC gamers, an additional advantage is the 144 Hz mode and full compatibility with G-Sync and FreeSync. So, it can be confidently said that in terms of gaming features, the QNED93A does not have any complexes compared to the competition. Another strong point is WebOS. LG's system has long been regarded as one of the most convenient for everyday use, and this is confirmed here. Everything is clear, and the Magic remote allows you to control the television like a mouse pointer – quickly and intuitively. Brightness can also be considered a plus. At its peak, it manages to achieve results close to 1400 nits. This is enough to ensure the picture doesn't fade in brighter rooms and that special effects in movies or games look convincing. The image processor does a good job of upscaling older content – television or films in lower resolutions appear clearer and sharper than on many competing screens.

However, it cannot be denied that the biggest problem with the QNED93A is the local dimming algorithms. In scenes full of black, the screen can darken significantly, causing many details to simply disappear. The effect is such that contrast looks better at first glance but comes at the expense of information that should be visible. An additional problem is the Dolby Vision mode, which typically enhances certain aspects of screens, but in this case, changes very little. The differences between dynamic and static metadata must literally be searched for with a magnifying glass. This is simply disappointing because the hardware, with its number of dimming zones and stronger backlighting, has the foundation for a better effect. So who is the LG QNED93A for? It is a television that works brilliantly as a home entertainment center, especially if you're thinking about gaming on a console or PC. In everyday television viewing and movie watching in well-lit conditions, it also provides a lot of satisfaction thanks to its high brightness and solid image processor. However, one must accept that in scenes with a lot of black and when fully utilizing HDR, this model does not match its competitors. LG has shown that it can create a very solid LCD screen, but it is also evident that not everything has been polished as it has in their OLED televisions.

There’s no doubt the LG G6 is outstanding in places. Thanks to the new 2nd-generation Tandem OLED panel it does something no other glossy-screen display on the market has managed so far: it suppresses reflections brilliantly while keeping perfect, untouched picture quality. Add record brightness and the panel’s unique characteristics, and the G6 can produce images that at times literally knock you off your feet. The excellent webOS and gamer-oriented features only reinforce the impression that this is a worthy successor to the G5. But that’s only one side of the coin, since expectations for a device in this class are as high as they get. During detailed testing we ran into an issue with digital image processing in near-black scenes. We’re talking about overly aggressive grain (dithering) and slight flickering of details in dark sequences. While during normal couch viewing this flaw isn’t dramatically noticeable and doesn’t negate the overall wow factor of the contrast, a trained eye will readily see that LG’s engineers stumbled at the final stage of panel tuning. When you buy a fairly expensive flagship product right now, you simply expect perfection out of the box.

Despite this obvious slip-up, the LG G6 is still at the absolute forefront of the market and one of the most interesting TVs of the year. It has a solid foundation to become the ultimate display. We firmly believe the manufacturer will quickly diagnose the issue and release an appropriate software update. If that happens, the competition won’t stand a chance. We promise to monitor the situation closely, and as soon as a patch appears we will verify how well it performs.

We took a close look at the 55-inch version of the LG QNED93A, equipped with a high-contrast VA panel. However, in the case of Mini-LED TVs, it's not just the panel itself, but primarily the number and operation of local dimming zones that determine the final effect. In this model, we counted as many as 308 zones, which already looks impressive from the start. For comparison – last year's QNED91T in the 65-inch variant had only around 160. The difference is enormous and shows that LG has made a significant step forward in this technology. On paper, it looks great, but practice quickly dampens the enthusiasm. The contrast in the QNED93A can indeed impress – bright elements are clearly separated from black, and in many scenes, the depth effect truly pleases the eye. The problem is that despite such a significant improvement in backlight construction, the results are not much better than in last year's model. The algorithms controlling dimming can be too aggressive. This is especially noticeable in darker sequences, where the screen dims to such an extent that subtle details disappear from view. Many viewers will appreciate the stronger black, but it is hard to ignore that this comes at the expense of the director's intentions. The most problematic are scenes with many small, bright elements. It is during these moments that typical halo effects, or glowing outlines, associated with LCDs featuring local dimming zones appear around them. This phenomenon does not completely ruin the experience, but it serves as a reminder that even with an increased number of zones, local dimming still has its limitations. Ultimately, the contrast in the QNED93A can be considered good, but we have the impression that the manufacturer did not pay enough attention to optimizing the new model when it comes to black and contrast.

Since the LG G6 is based on OLED technology, specifically the 2nd generation WOLED TANDEM matrix, we are talking about perfection in terms of blacks and contrast, which is confirmed by our lab measurements – in every test scenario, the television achieved an absolute infinity mark. The ability to control each pixel independently gives it a powerful advantage over any LCD panel on the market. This translates to a brilliant, plastic depth of image that immediately draws you into every possible viewing experience. This is clearly visible in the example of a dark, demanding scene with a helicopter from the movie Sicario 2. While traditional screens with local dimming (including Mini-LEDs) can generate annoying "halo" effects in such moments, lighten black bars in films, or lose details in shadows, the LG G6 handles it flawlessly. Black where it should be black remains pitch-black and perfectly separated from bright points.

*A small note: during this test, a fairly strong grain and flickering of the image stands out. However, we do not take it into account when evaluating the contrast itself and this part of the review – we will describe this specific problem in further detail in the section: "Smoothness of tonal transitions".

Although the number of local dimming zones in the LG QNED93A did not directly translate to a noticeably better contrast, one cannot deny that this model is brighter than its predecessor. In synthetic tests, we recorded values around 1400-1500 nits, and more importantly, these results are reflected in real movie scenes. In full-screen sequences flooded with white or bright lights, the screen was able to maintain high luminance, which produced a truly decent incredible HDR effect. Unfortunately, where the television could show its true class, namely in scenes that require precision, all the magic evaporates. The dimming algorithms we mentioned earlier are aggressive enough that small bright objects—such as distant lights, stars, or the moon—can almost completely disappear. Just look at the test scenes from the movie Pan or Sicario 2 (screens 2 and 4) to see how subtle details are dimmed to the brink of visibility. It's a shame, because a greater number of zones could theoretically lead to significantly better results. Fortunately, there are also stronger points. The QNED93A performs well in terms of color gamut coverage, achieving around 96% of the DCI-P3 standard. As a result, colors in movies look vivid and full, and the picture does not lose intensity even in more demanding scenes. So it can be said that the HDR in this model is solid, although the unfinished local dimming algorithms hinder its full potential.

The LG G6 is currently one of the brightest OLEDs on the market. Its peak brightness reaches nearly 2500 nits, and best of all – this has a direct impact on real film scenes. The television flawlessly pulls out details in the bright parts of the image. And this is regardless of whether we are talking about very small points like stars in the sky or slightly larger elements on the screen. Naturally, with full-screen, uniformly white scenes, the brightness of the G6 decreases due to the panel's protection system (ABL). However, in real, varied film shots, this value still hovers around 2000 nits, which can be considered an outstanding result. The coverage of the color palette also deserves praise. The new 2nd generation Tandem OLED panel brought only a cosmetic change, but still an improvement. The DCI-P3 color gamut coverage reaches nearly 99.5%, while the ultra-wide BT.2020 is around 84%. These are very good results, although one must remember one thing: at extremely high brightness levels, the volume of colors will be lower than in QD-OLED panels from Samsung Display due to the use of a white sub-pixel (WOLED). However, in everyday content and most films, detecting this difference will be very difficult.

In movie mode (specifically Filmmaker), color reproduction on the QNED93A was relatively accurate, although it wasn't without critiques. In SDR content, white balance leaned towards warmer tones, resulting in a slight yellowing across the entire screen. Gamma, on the other hand, led to a slight brightening of the image, making it look a bit less natural, especially in scenes requiring precise shading (this is evident in the comparison picture). This isn't a problem that immediately stands out to every viewer, but more discerning individuals may feel that the picture deviates from the aesthetic intended by the filmmakers. In HDR materials, the situation looked somewhat different. The white balance presented itself quite well here, ensuring that whites didn't lean towards pink or unwanted shades of green. However, brightness management proved to be an issue. Analysis of the EOTF curve revealed that at certain moments the television can be noticeably too dark where it shouldn't be, losing some detail and reducing the realism of scenes. This detracted from the experience of HDR effects, which were theoretically supposed to be the most impressive. For this reason, we decided to carry out calibration.

We tested the LG G6 in the best factory mode for color fidelity, which is FILMMAKER MODE. For our test unit, this mode was fairly well-tuned right out of the box. In SDR content, the only thing we could nitpick was the white balance, which leaned towards warmer tones. As a result, the image could sometimes appear slightly yellowed; however, overall, it wasn't a bothersome issue. The G6 performed a bit worse with HDR content. There, we noticed too much blue component in the white balance. This caused the image to take on cooler shades, resulting in quite noticeable errors. As can be seen in our ColorChecker chart, colors were indeed shifting towards these cooler registers. Nevertheless, for factory settings, the television displayed a completely decent level. However, we know that OLED screens – especially those from LG – respond wonderfully to professional calibration, which is why we immediately proceeded with it.

After professional calibration, the Filmmaker mode on the QNED93A gained the most where it matters most in everyday use. It was possible to adjust the white balance and eliminate the yellowish tint in SDR content, which we watch most often – television, streaming services, or standard quality films. This makes colors look natural and pleasant, and the overall experience is much more comfortable. In HDR mode, we also made adjustments, but the biggest problem here turned out to be the EOTF curve. Although LG provides some leeway in the settings, the television still manages brightness on its own terms. It is evident that the local dimming algorithms are not entirely refined and can spoil the viewing experience by dimming parts of the image at inappropriate moments. Nonetheless, it is worth opting for calibration of this model, especially the mode intended for daily viewing.

After conducting a professional calibration, we gained complete control over the panel, and we were able to adjust all parameters to nearly zero. We managed to perfectly tune the white balance, which made the factory-cool and warm tints disappear from the screen. The effects are clearly evident in the ColorChecker test – the average color reproduction errors dropped below the critical value of 1-2. And what does that mean? PERFECT colors, with no distortion whatsoever! However, from a reviewer's obligation, we must comment on how the LG G6 autonomously manipulates brightness, for which the EOTF curve is responsible. When we look at the standard synthetic graph, it may seem that the line is quite straight. The situation changes, however, when we turn on the measurement filter, which shows how the television interprets brightness in real, moving film scenes (EOTF in MOVIES). At that point, it becomes clear that some of the smallest fragments on the screen are slightly over-brightened by the algorithm. Of course, for the average viewer, such a deviation will be practically unnoticeable, but in the test of such an expensive screen, it is worth noting – especially since we are talking about a model that has huge aspirations to be the best television of the year.

The fluidity of tonal transitions in the LG QNED93A is really good. In most scenes, there are no artificial color divisions or banding effects. Dark shots are particularly surprising – this is where many TVs struggle, but here the image remains smooth and cohesive. In brighter sections, subtle color transitions can be observed, but they are not pronounced enough to draw significant attention. During testing, we encountered a clear issue with the DSE effect, also known as the "dirty screen" effect. On our unit, the phenomenon was strong enough that in bright scenes, the corners noticeably darkened, giving the image a vignetted appearance. This could be a flaw of the test unit, but during intense viewing, it was hard to ignore.

Unfortunately, this is where we come to the least cheerful part of this review. If we were to evaluate solely the smoothness of the tonal transitions, the G6 would score high marks. The color blending is at a very good level, and at times it resembles what we know from Samsung's QD-OLED panels. This is great news because up until now, ugly, banding artifacts in dark shades have been the bane of WOLED panels. In this category, we would easily give it a strong 8.5 out of 10.

Note: Unfortunately, the final rating in this section drops significantly, and the culprit is very aggressive dithering. In dark scenes, the image literally “shivers,” and in areas close to black/dark gray, the television can be annoyingly flickering. We do not know exactly what this is due to, but looking at the tests from other reviewers around the world - everyone has encountered exactly the same problem. We hope that LG will fix this as soon as possible with an update. We know that LG can respond quickly to negative user feedback, which can already be read online. We will keep an eye on this issue and will inform you in case of improvement.

LG QNED93A proves to be a very solid television for everyday use. Its image processor handles scaling excellently, ensuring that even older movies or terrestrial television gain sharpness and detail. During the screening of "The Godfather," it's clearly visible how upscaling pulls extra details from the image – the characters' faces and the texture of the clothing appear much clearer than in the original material.

The digital image processing also deserves praise. The television is equipped with a function for reducing unwanted color banding and screen irregularities. It works best in the "Medium" setting – subtly smoothing tonal transitions without over-interfering with the image. This way, the natural film grain is preserved, and the screen doesn't appear unnaturally smoothed. Perhaps in some scenes, you can still notice slight color banding, but in practice, the effect is more favorable than with a stronger intervention from the algorithm.

No matter what one may say about the G6's problems with near-black signal, it must be fairly acknowledged that it handles highly compressed material and lower resolution content brilliantly. All unwanted, ugly tonal transitions are effectively reduced here by the “Smooth Gradation” feature. On the “Low” setting, the algorithm operates flawlessly – effectively masking the artifacts resulting from strong compression, without destroying the sharpness and details in the frame. Higher levels of this feature indeed smooth the image even more, but they start to blur the real texture elements of objects, which is why we recommend keeping this slider at a low level. As for the upscaling to 4K, the processor does an excellent job – edge sharpness and detail reconstruction are at the highest level, and in this respect, the G6 does not lag behind the world's best.

LG QNED93A is equipped with a 144 Hz panel. This is primarily a nod to gamers, but the fact that higher refresh rates are increasingly making their way into televisions can be seen as a positive development. In everyday viewing, 120 Hz remains key, and in this regard, the QNED93A performs well. The manufacturer also provides the option to adjust the image through the TruMotion system – the De-Judder and De-Blur sliders allow you to choose between a cinematic motion character with visible frames and a fully smoothed theatrical motion.

The LG G6 is an OLED television, so in the category of motion fluidity, it traditionally deserves the highest ratings. The television supports a very high refresh rate of up to 165 Hz in 4K resolution, but most importantly – you will not see any signs of blurring on the screen. The response time of the panel is incredibly fast, ensuring that dynamic images remain perfectly sharp.

LG QNED93A is a television that has undoubtedly been designed with gamers in mind. Right from the start, we get a complete package – all four HDMI ports operate at standard 2.1, so whether we connect a console, PC, or receiver, we can be sure of full compatibility. This is important because many manufacturers still limit themselves to two ports, and here nothing prevents all equipment from having maximum capabilities. There’s also an automatic game mode (ALLM), which switches the television to the appropriate settings when the console starts up, as well as variable refresh rate (VRR). This ensures that the image does not stutter or tear, even when the frame rate drops – whether in dynamic shooters or during races.

The 144 Hz panel gives an additional advantage in computer games. While 120 Hz is sufficient for consoles, in the case of PCs, the QNED93A allows for even more – every movement, every glance to the side is refreshed faster, which makes a difference especially in e-sports. The manufacturer also considered HDR in games – the television supports the HGiG mode, which provides guidelines to ensure that the lighting effects are exactly as intended by the game developers. For dessert, we get Game Bar – a special informational strip invoked on the screen that shows parameters in real-time. You can check the frame rate, active VRR functions, or input lag levels. This solution is useful not only for settings enthusiasts, but for anyone who wants to quickly verify what mode the television is operating in and whether everything is working as it should.

LG G6 is a true monster for gamers and one of the best-equipped TVs in this regard on the market. The manufacturer did not seek compromises and equipped this model with as many as four full HDMI 2.1 ports with a maximum bandwidth of 48 Gbps. This means that no matter which port you plug your PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or powerful PC into, you will extract the absolute maximum from them.

The TV supports a full suite of gaming technologies: from VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), through AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, to Nvidia G-Sync Compatible. Let's add to this the remarkably low, almost imperceptible input lag and a brilliantly functioning gamer panel (Game Optimizer), which allows you to continuously monitor the signal parameters. Gaming on this screen, with the perfect black of OLED and powerful refresh rates, is pure pleasure.

In the latency field, the LG QNED93A has nothing to be ashamed of. The TV responds instantly to our actions, which is evident from the first tests with the controller in hand. In 120 Hz mode, the input lag drops to around 7 ms, meaning nearly instant response – shots, passes, and precise movements of the stick immediately translate to the screen. For 60 Hz content, the result slightly increases to just under 15 ms, but it still remains within the full comfort zone. An interesting feature is the Dolby Vision mode for games, which works with the Xbox Series X on the QNED93A. Here, the lag increases to about 20 ms. In theory, this could be considered a deterioration, but in practice, it’s still a very good result. Even with such a demanding picture standard, gameplay remains dynamic, and the differences in control are practically imperceptible.

When it comes to signal delay, the results are remarkably low. For a standard 120 Hz signal, the Input Lag is just 5 ms. At 60 Hz, this value increases to 13 ms, which is still an excellent and completely imperceptible delay. The only thing we need to point out is the television's behavior after receiving the Dolby Vision Gaming signal. In this format, the Input Lag nearly doubles, reaching 13 ms for 120 Hz and 22 ms for 60 Hz. Despite this jump, we believe that these values in games are low enough that absolutely no one will feel any discomfort during gameplay.

A new feature in this year's model is full support for 144 Hz refresh rate, which PC gamers will appreciate. The QNED93A works with both Nvidia graphics cards, offering compatibility with G-Sync, and with AMD products, where it supports FreeSync Premium Pro. This ensures smooth gameplay without screen tearing or stuttering, and the panel itself performs very well in dynamic esports titles and demanding AAA productions.

Equally important is the clarity of the image in everyday work. The television supports chroma 4:4:4, so fonts in Windows and applications are sharp and clear. However, we noticed a small detail - with a dark background and bright letters, subtle horizontal lines may appear due to the arrangement of subpixels. This is a minor detail that does not affect the comfort of using the television on a daily basis, but perfectionists may notice it after spending more time with text. But we don't think anyone would want to work on a 55-inch screen with text sitting less than 1 meter away from it 😉.

As we mentioned earlier, the LG G6 is an amazing screen for gamers but also for those using computers. With full support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync technology, as well as a high refresh rate of up to 165 Hz, this TV will work brilliantly as a giant gaming monitor. On the other hand, everyday office work with text looks a bit worse (although in our opinion still very well), which is a typical feature of every WOLED screen. Due to the specific arrangement of four subpixels (with an additional white subpixel), rather than three as in traditional computer monitors, system fonts can sometimes have an additional, in this case red glow around black or white letters. This is directly due to the new structure of the 2nd generation Tandem OLED matrix, which now operates in an RGWB arrangement (last year's first generation Tandem OLED used a BWRG arrangement). In our opinion, the sharpness of font edges has slightly worsened because of this, but it is definitely not something that will immediately catch your eye when occasionally working with documents or browsing the web.

QNED93A uses a VA matrix, and that means one thing: the category of viewing angles becomes its Achilles' heel. Already at an angle of about 45 degrees, brightness drops by as much as 80%, and colors begin to noticeably fade. This is the natural price for the high contrast that VA panels offer. There is no additional coating to improve angles, as found in some more expensive models, so the QNED93A looks best when viewed directly. If you are planning a large family viewing, where some viewers will sit more to the side, you should expect that the image will not be as attractive as it is at the center of the screen.

As befits an OLED panel, the viewing angles on the LG G6 are really good. When viewed from the side, the TV does not drastically lose brightness or color saturation. In this regard, the picture quality is infinitely better than in any LCD TV – and this applies to both IPS panels and even more so to VA panels without special wide-angle coatings. In this matter, the only better screens on the market remain QD-OLED panels from Samsung Display, where the angles are simply perfect, as well as older WOLED panels with MLA (microlens) technology, which LG abandoned in this series two years ago. Unfortunately, we assess the viewing angles in this year's model as slightly worse than last year's. We noticed that the 2nd generation Tandem OLED panel has a tendency to take on more greenish hues when viewed at a steep angle, while last year's model maintained greater neutrality in this regard.

LG QNED93A uses a satin matrix that handles reflections moderately well. It is certainly not at the level of matte screens, but it doesn't have the mirror-like effect seen in models with a glossy surface. As a result, reflections are not too bothersome, and colors maintain their intensity even when light from the window hits the screen. Brightness is also a plus. The average level in HDR mode stays within 550-600 nits. This means that the television performs well in well-lit rooms, and you can enjoy a viewing experience even during the day when the blinds are only partially closed. In the role of a large screen in the living room, the QNED93A really performs well.

The LG G6 will perform exceptionally well as a TV in a brightly lit room. Thanks to its powerful peak brightness, the television can easily cut through most external light sources. Best of all, the new generation of Tandem OLED panels has brought significant improvements in terms of reducing glare. Although the screen coating is still shiny (which helps maintain well-saturated colors even in difficult conditions), it effectively suppresses reflections. It does this significantly better than classic OLED screens with standard glossy coatings. We could confidently compare this level to that of shiny QD-OLED panels, but with one key advantage for LG. Unlike the competition's technology, the deep black in a bright living room remains intact in this model. There is no sign of grayness or purplish tints due to incoming light – the black in the G6 during the day is simply perfect, just like it is at night.

Smart Features

QNED93A operates under webOS, one of the most enjoyable Smart TV systems. It includes AirPlay, Screen Mirroring, Chromecast, and convenient voice control. The platform is reasonably clear and mostly fast, although in the tested unit, there were instances where the response to pressing the remote required a moment of "thought." However, it is hard to consider this a serious issue – webOS remains a refined system and will likely receive further updates to improve it even more.

Classic Features

In this model, LG did not include the old Magic remote with a numeric keypad, but the TV itself performs excellently as a screen for everyday viewing of antenna channels. The EPG interface is clear, the TV offers a television guide, and we have the ability to record programs from the built-in tuners directly onto a USB drive. Everything works correctly and intuitively. We only missed the PiP function, which in 2025 is offered by just two manufacturers.

Magic Remote

The Magic remote is still the biggest difference compared to the competition. In 2025, it underwent a slight facelift – it has fewer buttons and resembles the minimalist remotes from Samsung a bit. However, the cursor remained key, functioning like a magic wand. Just move your hand, and the pointer on the screen follows your movement. It’s incredibly simple yet very convenient. Navigation in the menu or entering passwords is much faster, and it’s hard to switch back to classic buttons afterwards.

webOS System and Smart Features

The TV runs on the latest version of the webOS system. Although it is a closed platform, it supports absolutely all the key streaming applications on the market. You can also easily access useful wireless connectivity features, such as built-in Chromecast, AirPlay, or classic screen mirroring. However, the biggest distinguishing feature of LG's platform remains the brilliant Magic remote. Although it is quite compact and lacks a physical numeric keypad, it does something that competitors still can't replicate – it works like a wireless mouse. It is equipped with a gyroscope, allowing us to move an intuitive cursor across the screen, which drastically speeds up password entry and navigation through the menu. Additionally, LG has one of the best voice assistants for device control, and this combination with the Magic remote offers great possibilities for smoothly navigating the system. The only thing that can be quite annoying here is the intrusive ads and sponsored tiles that LG increasingly clutters the main screen of the system with. Nevertheless, the absence of Google TV is no drawback for the G6 – given the smooth operation of webOS, it can even be considered an advantage.

Features for Traditionalists

In terms of traditional television, the LG G6 also performs excellently and does not forget about traditional users. Despite the minimalist remote, there are plenty of useful solutions on board. The manufacturer has not given up on the PVR function, which allows for recording programs from built-in tuners directly to external USB storage or a hard drive. There is also an efficiently working TimeShift for pausing live television and the option to schedule recordings. These features may prove to be a perfect fit during the upcoming World Cup matches when games will be played late in the evening and we may not be able to watch them live. Of course, standard features are also included, such as the ability to connect wireless headphones via Bluetooth.

The built-in media player in the LG QNED93A handles most popular video and audio formats without any issues, so it’s perfectly sufficient for basic use. However, during testing, we noticed two minor hiccups. The first is the lack of support for HEIC files, which is Apple’s photo format. The manufacturer claims that the television should open them, but in practice, we were unable to confirm that. The second issue involved text files with subtitles in TXT format. Fortunately, other, more common subtitle formats worked without any problems, so it's hard to consider this a real limitation in everyday use.

The inability to install an external media player (as is the case in Android-based systems) is actually not a problem for the LG G6. The factory-installed media player works great and seamlessly supports most audio, video, or image formats that we provided from our flash drive. However, during testing, we encountered some shortcomings – specifically, a rather strange lack of support for subtitles in the popular .txt format. However, we believe that this option will quickly be added to the G6 with the next software update.

LG QNED93A sounds quite pleasant for the built-in speakers in the television. The sound is fairly clear, and at moderate volume levels, vocals and dialogues come across distinctly. The bass, as is usually the case in relatively slim constructions, is not the strongest, but its presence can be felt and is completely sufficient for everyday viewing of series. The maximum volume reaches around 81 dB and does not lead to strong distortions, although in more demanding cinematic scenes, it's noticeable that the system has its limitations. Overall, the sound can be described as acceptable and not off-putting. It definitely won't compete with a soundbar, but it also won't ruin your movie experience.

Despite its very flat design, the LG G6 sounds surprisingly good. The manufacturer managed to squeeze quite nice speakers under the display, capable of producing a rather "spatial" sound – if you can even call the limited physical capabilities of the TV that 😉. The sound is clear, has decent dynamics, and is suitable for everyday viewing of news programs or series without any issues. The TV also easily supports the very popular Dolby Atmos surround sound codec.

Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, it lacks support for the DTS:X format. Regardless of what one might say, it has recently become quite unpopular in streaming services, but a top-of-the-line TV in terms of price and quality simply should not limit users in handling audio formats, in our opinion. Additionally, we have to criticize LG for somewhat downgrading the audio menu. We missed more advanced settings and predefined sound profiles, which were definitely more abundant in last year's model.
