2.57mm metamorphosis slim! LG G6 OLED TV depth evaluation

TV is quite a traditional home appliance. Although television has been improving in terms of form and quality, it can hardly give people a fresh feeling. The fierce competition in the market has led most of the traditional enterprises to keep on cutting their costs, and to provide shortcuts in the flood of Internet content. This kind of exquisite, art-recognized product is our emotional product. Increasingly scarce. Have to admit that the fast food culture of various industries has permeated the life of modern people: Shenzhen can make mobile phones with 100,000 pieces, and it can also be connected to tens of thousands of dollars every month. There is even a mother who has even pancakes and fruit stalls. Wechat QR code. Everyone holds the banner of the Internet and takes the big knife of traffic and outlets. The companies with no strength can't stand the bombardment of this bubble.

Special thanks to Guangzhou Friendship Huanshi Dongdian for providing shooting venues
Today we are going to introduce this TV, which is regarded as a rare product in recent years. LG G6 OLED TV from LG's new super high-end home appliance series LG Signature. At the beginning of the year when it debuted at CES, it won the “2016 CES Best Innovation Award” and the following AWE also won the “Epland Award”. When this TV was first seen at the Shanghai Household Appliances Expo, it was attracted by its distinctive design and its meticulous display. In particular, the panel thickness of 2.57mm was extremely slim! How powerful is this guy called LG Mirage by LG? Lets come look.

LG G6 official video introduction

Appearance: thin, is the ultimate pursuit

Technology-driven is the driving force behind product innovation. If there is no OLED born without backlight features, LG G6 is not likely to have such a thin body. In the chat with the staff of LG, they also heard that they are studying wallpaper television. It can be imagined that the future of television is like a mural. Even an entire wall is composed of television.


The front of the LG G6 is very simple, the entire OLED panel is tightly embedded in a metal protection bracket, and then subversively adsorbed on the tempered glass, the folding base cleverly supports the huge screen. It looks like the clothes are thin, but they are very stable.

From the front side, the slim body makes people scream, and it's really worrying if it touches you. Mobile phone manufacturers boast a few millimeters of body thickness every day, and they have no choice but to face the panel thickness of G6 2.57mm.

The back surface is a metal-coated glass structure, so the mirror effect is very obvious. The backside is also exactly the same, the circuit is only integrated in the bottom of a small back cover.

From the observation side, the entire OLED panel has a thickness of only 2.57mm, and tempered glass is only 3mm, which is arguably unique in the industry. And the 65-inch screen is standing there soothingly. It can be seen that at the same time as the thinness, the structural support ability of the screen is not weak at all.

We took the coin and compared the panel thickness of G6 with the width of the panel frame. Note that there is a dime coin in the upper right corner and a dollar coin in the lower right corner. The “screen shift” marked in the lower right corner of the picture is a protection function for the OLED panel. At a fixed time interval, a very narrow black border appears around the screen in order to prevent panel noise. The black side is only about 1mm wide and will not affect the look and feel.

The base of the LG G6, I think, is the place with the highest design content. How to support the entire panel with a minimalist structure is something that engineers must take pains to do. The streamlined stacking design allows the ultra-thin panel to echo the base.

The right side of the LG G6 base is engraved with the words “LG Signature”, which means that it is a high-end home appliance product of LG. The word “OLED” is engraved on the left. The base has a clever built-in Harman Kardon speaker, forward sound design, bass and stereo effects are completely comparable to high-end external Soundbar.

The texture of the brushed metal on the base is very prominent, and the delicate texture is clearly visible under the lighting; the five-dimensional control buttons are integrated in the back of the fuselage, feel great, just like the rocker on the PSP.

LG G6 interface has been very generous, HDMI2.0 interface there are four, there is a support for ARC transmission, can directly pass high-quality audio signals through the HDMI cable back to the amplifier or other audio equipment with HDMI ARC function up, Of course, the G6 is also equipped with a separate digital audio output interface. However, it is puzzling is that why only one USB3.0 interface? The author is more looking forward to when on the TV can also be on the USB3.1 Type-C interface?

Some netizens may wonder how the base is switched between wall-mounted and base. Xiao Bian briefly explained that there are four brackets that can be rotated at the connection between the base and the back of the screen. They are fixed by screws, and the state of the wall and the base can be switched. Only the screws in the several places need to be adjusted. At the bottom of the base, there are large screw holes, which are also wall-mounted.

Summary: LG G6 seems to have surpassed people's appearance in traditional television, not just ultra-thin, echoing the ultra-thin materials used, streamlined base is a qualitative leap. I think the first two words of the “Crystal Phantom” are explained. The “Crystal Curtain”: The OLED screen is as thin as a curtain (manual squint) attached to a tempered glass such as a crystal.

Screen comprehensive test: a step closer to reality

The comprehensive evaluation of the PConline TV evaluation was once again refreshed, but the price of the TV was also refreshed. This screen of LG G6 adopts 4K OLED panel. At the moment of HDR popularization, G6 also supports UltraHD Premium and Dolby Vision HDR standards. On the one hand, it has better display effect and on the other hand it also means that it will have More HDR video resources. The combination of OLED and HDR brings a powerful visual impact.

The above is the LG G6's various image quality parameters, the performance of the color gamut compared with the quantum dot technology is not big, different people have different colors or true preferences; brightness performance is also good, and this year's Sony, Samsung flagship The same echelon; Contrast is the inherent strength of OLED, known as dynamic contrast infinity; the final panel refresh rate is also up to 120Hz. It can be said that all aspects of LG G6 have a strong basic quality.

Power performance test

The 65-inch LG G6 consumes about 50W more power than LCD TVs of the same size, and it is not the ultra-high power consumption that everyone hears. Especially when displaying black, OLED can actively shut down all pixels, bringing the purest black, but also greatly save energy.

Color performance test

From the color transition of the above figure, the transition effect of G6 in different colors is very prominent, there is no impression or obvious mutation between the color and the color, which is soft and natural.

LG G6's color gamut is as high as 110% (the evaluation room adopts the internationally-accepted CIE1931 color gamut standard). From the gamut diagram, it can be seen that the red and blue displays are particularly excellent, almost reaching the limit edge. The brightness uniformity shows the strength of OLED. The average brightness and center brightness are the same as 338nit, and the difference between the highest brightness and the lowest brightness is only 7nit.


Silk and yarn ball standard test screen. The different shades of color in the same color shades of the silk screen can be well separated. There is no color cast, and the details are very delicate. The boundary between red and pink in the lower right corner of the yarn ball screen is very clear, there is no obvious color cast caused by the color crossover, and the color from the dark part to the bright part is very natural, and the saturation of the color is high.

Light control performance test

The average brightness of LG G6 is as high as 338.67cd/m2. The test screen shot can be seen in the overall gray scene, from dark to light, the details of the different levels of grayscale performance are very good.

Gray scale test, from 0 to 15 from black to white, LG G2 can clearly show the obvious level of each level.


Black and white standard test screen. The LG G2's black-and-white screen performed quite well. In the Tokyo Tower, while the sky was sinking, the darkness of the middle billboard was clearly distinguished; in the black and white dress lady test screen, no matter what the color of the dress was, the dress of the lady Silk outlines can be distinguished in the same color background. OLED independent control of self-luminous pixels, contributed to this link.

Dynamic performance test

This is a high-speed train. We observe the details of the train and observe the effects of this TV's dynamic performance. From the magnified view, the train number 2816 at the front position is very clear and the passengers in the first compartment can be clearly seen. The shadow of the car does not appear to be smeared or blurred due to high speed.



Through the dynamic effect test of different film sources, we can feel the accurate interpretation of the screen brought by the high refresh rate and dynamic response speed of the LG G6 panel, plus the MEMC blessing, no blur or loss of any frame, use it to watch The upcoming Rio Olympics is definitely a top visual experience.

Screen features interpretation: OLED and HDR passion collision

Or simply review the two technologies OLED and HDR.

OLED. The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal display technology do not have the property of active light emission, so the light source of the television image is provided by the backlight source; and the liquid crystal molecules are electrified to change the deflection direction to determine the brightness and darkness of the pixels; finally, the optical three-primary colors are formed using the color filters, and the structure Quite complicated.

The OLED display technology requires no backlight and no liquid crystal, and the organic layer can emit light when energized. Each pixel is independently driven by a corresponding circuit, and the thickness of the organic thin film layer can be very small, only about 0.10 to 0.15 um. This organic layer can actively emit RGB primary colors by supplying it to the appropriate voltage. Compared to liquid crystal technology, OLED technology structure is simpler and more efficient.

The basic structure of OLED technology
The structural advantages make OLEDs have a variety of natural advantages, such as the most pure black, infinite contrast, high response speed, closer to the natural color performance, and a wider perspective.

HDR. The video quality is basically divided into five important elements: resolution, color depth (grayscale), frame rate, color space, and brightness dynamic range. In addition to the 50-year stagnation in the dynamic range of brightness, the other four technologies have continued to develop. So, just like a wooden barrel missing a wooden plank, let the bucket of color space be filled with water forever.

The color space barrel principle
The HDR technology that major manufacturers are advocating this year is to fill this short-term dynamic range of brightness. First of all, he can get more brightness information. In our real-world luminance dynamic range is very wide, even in some dark environments. The human eye has a range of perception for the brightness range. There are some high-end shooting devices that can basically meet the needs of the human eye system, and the transmission technology and display technology have obvious shortcomings. HDR TV at this time is the best choice to break through this bottleneck.

HDR also brings more color and detail. The increase in brightness information also means that the colors and details on some brightness levels that could not be restored have also been reproduced. Can someone say that ultra-wide color television can not see more colors? This problem is a typical neglect of the role of brightness in the picture. The color is affected by the brightness, because in different brightness conditions, the color will have different changes.

HDR LCD vs. HDR OLED

And what kind of spark can the OLED plus HDR technology collide with? Nonsense is not much to say, first come the comparison of several groups of proofs. The object of comparison is a LCD TV supporting HDR technology.

From the perspective of the comparison proofs, the HDR LCD TV in the picture below is covered with a layer of fog, and the entire picture is chaotic. Although the brightness is not low, the contrast is obviously low and the picture lacks a sense of hierarchy. The whole picture of LG G6 is transparent, and the picture level is very rich.


Night proofs contrast effect is more obvious. OLED has the ultimate black, plus OLED has deepened the level of the picture, the bright place is lit up, and the dark place can not lose details. The HDR LCD TV lacks a lot of details, the stars of the sky, the lines of the rockery on the pavilion are very vague, and the LG G6 is clearly identifiable.

HDR OLED vs. SDR OLED

What is the difference between HDR technology and OLED TV? Let's take a look at the contrast between the four groups of samples to feel the impact of HDR. (The right side of the SDR is HDR)




It goes without saying that the four groups of samples successively exhibited differences in HDR and SDR in highlights, shadows, colors, and details. HDR outperforms SDR in four areas with better brightness dynamic range. It is enough to see that every major manufacturer this year has promoted HDR technology, not only marketing hype, but also more important technological level innovation.

System and UI: Small and beautiful

UI style

LG G6 upgrade for the new webOS 3.0 operating system, tired of watching the bad streets based on Andrews custom TV operating system, suddenly see the webOS is particularly fresh and refined. If you want to use a word to describe webOS 3.0, it's smart.

The main page is a colorful drawer card that is very breath-taking and will not be depressed like a full-screen box. Content played in the background can also be frozen when you return to the main page.


Especially like webOS comes with the application, the color is unified, the style is simple, and the TV is very tune. Different columns have a uniform tone tendency, plus a background gradient or translucent treatment, so that the interface does not appear cluttered and has a light sense of space.

Actually, the TV operating system does not need to be too cumbersome. Judging from the current hardware level and positioning of the TV, there is no need to consider what kind of game masterpieces are to be played on the TV's own operating system. Therefore, the simple and easy to use is the most important demand of the TV operating system. . Although there are not many users of webOS, they are only available on LG TVs, but the ease of use is still good, shortcut menus, home page editors can all get.

Content resources

In terms of content supply, the LG G6 is equipped with the content of Wah TV. If you recharge members, you can see a lot of content, after all, China is still one of the license plate. However, in the interface design, it is obvious that there is an APP installed directly, and the original webOS is not at all. Compared to the instinctive localization and customization of Internet TV, Japanese and South Korean TV manufacturers still need to focus more.



Various TV dramas, movies, animations, variety shows, and sports are all available. However, in addition to TV shows, there are a lot of resources for charging. It is recommended that you buy more members. In fact, the contents of the seven major licensees are basically shared. We do not have to worry about video resources.

app Store

The style of the webOS 3.0 application store is very uniform. It is obvious that the icons of each application are re-customized. Video content resources including Hua Digital TV can also be found here.


Unfortunately, the application resources of webOS are still very few. In some categories, there are only a few programs. Fortunately, there are common applications, such as the application of big screen shopping, there are some small games. And the quality of the application is still relatively high, and it runs very smoothly.

System settings

Simple mode

Professional mode
The system setting of the smart TV is a system module closely related to the hardware. Most of the interface and functions of the domestic Android camp system are convergent, with display, sound, wireless connection, signal source, etc., and a further set menu. The basic sound and picture settings related to backlighting, color, contrast, dynamic effects, etc. will be involved. The system setup of WebOS is much richer. Each setup menu has a very detailed set of professional settings. You can perform more detailed debugging on TV-related settings to meet the needs of DIY users. In simple mode, you can also Make the white user easy to use.

Evaluation summary


The LG G6 is a complete innovation of smart TV. OLED technology has brought a new look on the quality of the picture, but also gave the appearance of television on the appearance of the frightened world, combined with the help of HDR, LG G6 is more like a reborn art. We sincerely hope that there will be more TV manufacturers such as LG who are immersed in industrial design and display technology.
