$2,499 LG G5 emerged as the better buy in TechRadar’s side-by-side test because it currently costs less than the 65-inch LG C6 at $2,699 while delivering stronger overall picture performance.
2,268 nits of peak HDR brightness on the G5 versus 1,438 nits on the C6 gave the older flagship brighter whites, punchier colors and more pop in scenes from Lawrence of Arabia and Wicked.
The C6 still impressed with more natural-looking contrast and color in darker material such as The Batman, where the reviewer said blacks and shadow detail often looked more authentic.
Both sets share key features including 4K 165Hz gaming support, webOS and solid sound, so the recommendation largely turns on price; the C6 could become the better option if Black Friday discounts arrive.
