LG TVs in 2026 — The Full Lineup + Honest Install Take
OLED leader — reference picture quality for dark-room viewing.
LG owns the OLED category. The 2026 lineup centers on the G6 evo flagship (Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panel), the C6 evo as the mid-tier (Tandem WOLED in 42-65", Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 in 77+83"), the B6 evo entry OLED (now finally 1000-nit), and the revived W6 Wallpaper. Plus the QNED99 Mini-LED if you want LG's panel software without OLED.

LG-specific install notes
[Rick — drop your LG-specific install notes here. Warranty experience (RMAs, response time, support quality), common DOA / defect patterns you've seen, panel uniformity reality (banding, vignetting, bright corners), which model in the lineup actually delivers the best value vs. what's overpriced, and any installer-only gotchas that buyers wouldn't know (HDMI port quirks, software bugs, mounting quirks). 3-6 sentences is plenty.]
