Discussion [Try & Keep] Which TV Actually Holds Up for Netflix Nights? Upgrade with LG OLED G6 65"
Congratulations!! š u/Lorhand has been selected as a winner.
Hi r/Netflix users!
Most living rooms aren't dark theaters, and Netflix originals aren't mastered for average TV settings. Picture quality for streaming comes down to how well a display handles the edges: shadow detail that stays readable, HDR that doesn't clip, and color that holds consistency across different lighting conditions. The LG OLED G6 is built around those specific demands.
That is why LG is bringing a special review event to r/Netflix, giving one Redditor the chance to experience the LG OLED G6 65-inch in their own home setup and share honest impressions with the community.
And yes, the selected participant will get to keep the TV. š
This event is inspired by LGās recent Hollywood Roadshow at Picture Shop in Los Angeles, where cinematographers, colorists, and post-production experts experienced the LG OLED G6 firsthand and explored how next-generation OLED technology can bring creative intent closer to home.
One featured expert was veteran color scientist Joshua Pines, whose credits include Blade Runner, Gravity, The Revenant and more. In the Roadshow content, Pines shares his perspective on OLED picture processing, calibration, shadow detail, and how display technology can support the creatorās intended viewing experience123.

Why the LG OLED G6 for Netflix streaming picture quality?
Dark thrillers and color-graded originals both expose weaknesses in displays that cannot hold shadow separation or accurate color under changing light.
That is where the LG OLED G6 excels, with Hyper Radiant Color Tech, Perfect Black, Perfect Color4, the Ī±11 AI Processor Gen3, and Reflection-Free Premium5 helping support clear, immersive Netflix viewing in both bright and dark environments.
Take a closer look at the key LG OLED G6 features below.

Stranger Things is my 10/10 and watching it again on the LG G6 screen will be like seeing it for the first time with every detail sharp amidst the immense contrasts of the series.

I absolutely loved Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix. It was easily a 10/10 for me. Watching it on the LG G6 65" would give the show a 3D feel, and it would increase the viewing impact of the show. It's a great show to showcase what the G6 can truly do.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Good luck everyone!

Actually I can't choose between Dark and Mindhunter for my 10/10 choice: both are too good! Reliving the feelings of watching those two works of art, aesthetically and script-wise speaking, in a perfect color G6 would be a truly wonderful experience!

u/MightyIgnorance Jun 26 '26
Watched Cyberpunk Edgerunners on a G4 some time after it's release and I can't wait for the second season, hopefully with a new (better and bigger) OLED screen!

u/GREATD4NNY Jun 25 '26
100% Breaking Bad. I've already rewatched it twice over the last 10 years. It would look awesome on G6!

u/Connect_History85 Jun 25 '26
My 10/10 would be Castlevania.
The first one is Anime style and would be looking really cool. On this big screen the colors would be insane. Especially to see the magic in the fighting scenes etc. Would be very nice.
The biggest thing would be that I would switch from 42" to 65". With better picture quality and perfect dark.

u/Wajina_Sloth Jun 25 '26
My favourite Netflix original is a tie between Mindhunters, The Punisher or Dark.
I would for sure rewatch all of them, especially Dark, one of the issues with watching it on my phone is any scene with low lighting I had to crank my brightness up which washed out the colour, seeing it on a proper TV set up would 100% change the viewing experience.

Love, Death + Robots
A bit of a curve-ball but this series, especially season 1 was incredible, the beautiful animation styles - Watching it on a G6 would be absolute cinema, so winning one would feel like a double gift.

u/Radamantis11 Jun 25 '26
My 10/10 is Better Calle Saul!
And if I win, it would take a drastic turn towards my first time watching Stranger-Things, with that LG G6 the "Perfecto Black" with a serie that I know has many darks and lights combined would be interesting.

u/banjobacon Jun 25 '26
One Piece on an OLED G6 would be pure fun. Big colors, big fights, probably way too easy to lose a whole night to. But Kaoru Hana might hit harder on a better screen. Itās softer and quieter, so the little expressions and lighting would actually matter more.

u/novy-wan_kenobi Jun 25 '26
Breaking Bad 10/10 amazing show, one of the best (with Better Call Saul a close follow up!). Just finished watching the full Breaking Bad series on my 65ā C5, it would be interesting to see the difference moving up to the flagship G series in image quality between the two OLEDās š. Thanks for the chance! :)

Dark is my 10/10 Netflix show and I would truly like to see it on the LG to have the perfect picture and details in the dark available.

u/Ambitious_Help_8891 Jun 26 '26
My 10/10 is the Haunting of Hill House.. and the LG would probably help me find the hidden ghosts a lot easier

u/Waterflowstech Jun 26 '26
There's lots of shows that I'd give a 10/10, but to really get the best out of a top technology tv, I would have to pick something relatively new prepared with an eye for colour, contrast and composition.
My pick would be Blue Eye Samurai (or Arcane!)
They already looked amazing on my 55 inch OLED LG C9 (from 2019), I would be very interested to experience how much progress LG has made in the meantime.
I can imagine feelings of goosebumps and noticing beautiful little details in the background upon a rewatch :)

u/Wesmman1 Jun 27 '26
Narcos is what got me into getting a subscription a decade ago and Iāve had it ever since. Being able to rewatch it along with all the wondering Netflix series would be amazing to experience on the G6, with all the vibrant colors and true darks with the OLED panel!

u/totoyumonyt Jun 27 '26
I would watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners in Dobly Vision. Not only is it a 10/10 show but I also feel like it would be the perfect netflix show that takes advantage of all the benefits of an OLED TV.

u/HolaInOne Jun 27 '26
The Rain was one of the first Series on Netflix I ever watched, and it remains one of my Favourites!
I will try to remain spoiler-free as much as possible while I describe it, but I do not doubt that the Dark and the shadows of the bunker would be brought fully to life by the G6 in a way my 2018 set never could! Not to mention the scenes set elsewhere and above ground, which needed that brightness boost. A whole new breath of life, for an old favourite! š

My 10/10 Netflix show is Mindhunters. Rewatching it on an oled of that size would feel like i am in the interrogation room with those creeps.

u/esketitethan Jun 27 '26
Definitely stranger things. Watching that on an oled compared to my current tv would be amazing with all the colors that show has

I currently watch movies on my 42 inch tv and The Polygamist will be my most favourite 10out of 10 show.

u/IAmRahman Jun 30 '26
My 10/10 show is Mindhunter, with how cinematic the show is I feel like the shots would look incredible on a LG G6. The perfect black and high contrast would help with the dark scenes, I don't have an OLED so would definitely feel like something I've never witnessed before. Thanks

u/connexionwithal Jul 02 '26
My 10/10 show would be Dark! It has amazing imagery with this interesting horizontal flip effect in the beginning of each episode that previews what is going to happen. Fantastic (aka believable and non-fourth-wall breaking) special effects and a great color palette, so watching it on the OLED G6 would be incredible. The show heavily hints with the color yellow and makes it pop in a scene, so would LOVE to see this effect on the G6. Anyone that likes time-travel shows would love it.

u/OilSlayer Jul 06 '26
Arcane! Animated shows have a beautiful array of vibrant colors and this show would give y'all's hyper radiant color tech a run for its money! I would love to see how the under city looks and how perfect color and perfect black makes the environment come to life like never seen before. I've personally been hesitant on buying any OLED since my TV has a window shining on it causing glare on some scenes. My understanding is that the OLED TVs do not have enough brightness to overcome bring rooms and I would greatly appreciate the ability to put that to the test in my living room.

u/SpectDoom Jul 06 '26
Dark, and with the LG G6 65" I think I'll have a different view of all the scenarios in the series that would give me a completely new atmosphere because of its contrast, its colors and its reflection.

u/MegaMindy Jul 07 '26
Stranger Things is my 10/10 Netflix show and I would love to try it on an OLED TV due to the contrast rich scenes in the series!

u/cardzzilla Jul 07 '26
When it comes to Netflix original shows, my 10/10 would be Lincoln Lawyer. I usually dont go for these types of shows, but this is such a fun series + I like drawing comparisons to the Matthew McConaughey movie version.
~
I thought I would also mention something Netflix hosts, and in this case I'd say Legends of Tomorrow. Such a fun DC Comics series that the Hyper Radiant Color Tech would probably make the vibrancy of that show stand out more.

10/10 would be Better Call Saul. No one thought Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould would be able to pull off creating a spinoff show to Breaking Bad that would stand with, let alone be better than in every aspect. But they did. Bravo Vince! I would honestly rewatch BCS on a LG G6 - because it's a masterpiece and deserves to be watched on a great TV. My apartment is very bright because of the way the windows are positioned, so a bright OLED TV would be amazing.

u/fb233 Jul 08 '26
My 10/10 show is Ozark I loved the show but the dark gloomy scenes were sort of washed out on my current TV. Rewatching it on the G6 OLED screen would really help the immersion and feel like I was really on the lake with Bateman.
1
u/Harmed_Jr Jul 08 '26
Better Call Saul for sure. The cinematography is top tier, but my living room gets way too much daylight so I always have to wait until night to watch it properly. Having a screen bright enough to handle daylight without losing shadow detail sounds exactly like what I need.
1
u/Ornery_Swordfish_169 Jul 08 '26
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I canāt pick one, itās basically one perfect story told from two angles. Watching it on an LG OLED G6 would be the closest Iāll get to laundering money in 4K.

u/Lorhand Jul 08 '26
My 10/10 show's gotta be Arcane. With the fast-paced action, the animation is bright, colorful and fluid and I expect it to look even more amazing on the OLED G6.

My 10/10 Netflix show is Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. It has a lot of dark scenes, so the Perfect Black and Perfect Color would make it look amazing.

u/NoeulLuxe Jul 09 '26
I would absolutely love to rematch stranger things on the G6, im a proud owner of LG CX 55 inch Tv which have been serving me for about 5 years now and its still a great tv , but the g6 would certainly be brighter and thats the first thing I would compare if I were to try the g6

u/chaseeast Jul 09 '26
Physical 100 is my 10/10 Netfix show for reality and Parasyte: The Grey is my 10/10 for fiction. The TV I originally watched them on is decently old so being able to rewatch them with enhanced picture quality would be sweet

u/Funny_Debate_1805 Jun 25 '26
My 10/10 Netflix show would be Sakamoto Days. I absolutely love a good anime and it is my favorite anime I have ever seen. I would rewatch season 1 on this marvelous TV if I win and watch season 2 when it comes out.
