LG UN6950 Review – Pros and Cons

In our tests, the LG UN6950 showed a decent gray uniformity across the screen, but the edges were darker than the center. The screen also had noticeable vertical bands and a “dirty” effect, which is particularly obvious in the center. We also found some backlight bleed, though not a significant amount. Here are the pros and cons of the LG UN6950. Read on for our full review!

Good gray uniformity

The LG UN6950 has good gray uniformity, with some dark vertical bands circling the middle of the screen. In addition, there’s a dirty screen effect in the center of the picture, as well as significant backlight bleed along the right and left sides of the screen. Overall, color accuracy is good, and the black uniformity is also good. The screen shows very little clouding in any area, but the dark band in the center is indicative of camera or TV shutter issues.

Good color gamut

The LG UN6950 has a decent color gamut, though it’s not wide enough to display HDR content. It has good coverage of the commonly used DCI P3 color space, but only limited coverage of the Rec. 2020 color space. It also has decent gradient handling, but there’s noticeable banding in darker grays and lighter shades. It isn’t particularly good for high-contrast scenes, but it’s acceptable enough for casual use.

Decent viewing angles

The LG UN6950 offers decent viewing angles. Its gray uniformity is decent, but the corners are slightly darker than the center and the vertical bands are darker than the rest of the screen. It also has a visible dirty screen effect in the center and noticeable backlight bleed. Overall, it’s not a bad television, but it doesn’t offer wide color gamut coverage, and HDR content will look muddy.

Good local dimming

The LG UN6950 offers good local dimming, but the panel doesn’t have a very wide color gamut. Colors are fairly even in the center, but the edges are slightly darker than the center. While there are no obvious dark bands, there is noticeable backlight bleed along the edges. The picture quality is average for a non-HDR panel. The stuttering can be distracting, and black levels are a little too dark.

Lack of variable refresh rate

The lack of variable refresh rate on LG UN6950 is a minor issue for most consumers. The screen offers decent gray uniformity, although edges are often darker than the center. The screen also displays noticeable vertical bands. Additionally, the screen has noticeable backlight bleed along the edges. The display is not ideal for gaming, as you’ll lose fine details in some scenes. Although it’s a solid choice for many consumers, it’s still an area that requires further testing.

While the LG UN6950 boasts an excellent response time, it’s slower than most VA panels. This results in noticeable black smearing during dark scenes. Another notable weakness is the lack of variable refresh rate, which causes the backlight to flicker in every picture mode. The X750H, on the other hand, has a flicker-free backlight and uses pulse width modulation to dim it.

As for FreeSync, it’s disappointing to find that LG hasn’t added this feature to its 2019 OLED televisions. Its 2019 lineup of OLED TVs is more promising, though, thanks to support for Nvidia’s G-Sync technology and a 120Hz native refresh rate. FreeSync support should be a standard in next-generation video cards, such as the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Another feature of this technology is auto low latency mode, which prioritizes lower latency when gaming.

Compared to the Samsung TU7000, the LG UN6950’s screen performs better in most areas, including color accuracy and black uniformity. The Samsung TU7000, however, boasts a better picture quality and faster response time. Despite the lower price, the Samsung TU7000 is brighter and has better color gradient performance than the LG UN6950. The Samsung has better contrast ratio, which is important for dark-room viewing.
