What Hi-Fi? to Re-Test LG G6 OLED Next Week After 4-Star Review

A new LG G6 with updated software is now in What Hi-Fi?’s test rooms, and editors plan to re-test it next week against the LG G5 and Sony Bravia 8 II.
LG said the problems behind the original 4-star verdict were software-related and have been fixed in a newer version, prompting the publication to run the review again.
The first review, published just over a month ago, criticized slightly grey black levels and overly aggressive brightness peaks, saying the G6 was hard to recommend over the cheaper G5.
What Hi-Fi? said it will update its review after comparative testing is complete and advised buyers considering a flagship OLED to wait for the new results.
