Looks like the 55+ tandem panels will have fixed banding. We'll probably have to wait for rtings to get their hands on a c6 42-48" before we know if the new chipset fixes banding on those as well.

Might have to look to HDTVTEST on youtube (and some other reviewers) - since RTings has gone paywalled.

Look back at the last handful of replies here or so about banding fixed vs. near (e.g. within 3' to 5' view distance) diagonal dithering lines concerns.

edit: here is one of my recent replies:


elvn said:
Yeah the dithering supposedly fixes that, but I've heard that near viewing , even ~ 3 feet away from a 55" has visible dithering lines in the G5 according to some sources, so probably the G6 too. Others say it's not noticeable "beyond 3 feet" or some say "beyond 5 feet", but they usually don't mention the screen sizes, and might be talking about 4:2:0 movie (or dynamic compression streaming service) watching, so the info I've seen seems to be reviewers speaking more generally than any solid measurement method. Good news for living room and home theater, but might not be great for ~ 60 deg viewing angle pc "command center" type setups.

If I had a 55" 16:9 at my pc, I'd be viewing it from around 3.5 feet

55" 4k at 60 deg viewing angle = 42 inch view distance

55" 4k at 50 deg viewing angle = 50 inch view distance.

Older one from G6 thread, links are showing a G5 (which also reportedly fixed the banding, while still suffering other issues - but reportedly has more aggressive visible dithering lines viewed near..). Sounds like it might be a tradeoff of more aggressive dithering fixing banding, and looking fine for longer traditional tv viewing distances, but for pc users viewing a 55" tv at 4 foot or less away, it could be a con, depending.

================
Google search blurb :

Dithering is
a technique used in displays and image processing to prevent color banding by adding subtle, intentional noise to smooth transitions between colors. On modern OLEDs (e.g., LG G4/C4/G5), this can appear as noticeable, moving diagonal lines or "noise" (dithering artifacts), often mistaken for poor panel quality or chrominance overshoot.

Key Aspects of Dithering & Banding (AVSForum/Reddit consensus):
  • Purpose: Dithering hides banding (false contours) in gradients, particularly in 8-bit or compressed content, by simulating more color depth.
  • The Issue: On newer LG OLED panels, this dithering process is sometimes visible as fine, diagonal, shimmering lines during motion.
  • User Reports: Many users on Reddit and Reddit report that 2024/2025 LG models (G4/G5) exhibit more visible dithering, which can cause eye fatigue and distraction, especially for PC users sitting close to the screen.

  • Solutions/Workarounds:
    • Distance: The effect is often only visible from very close; sitting further back (8-10 ft) makes it less noticeable.
    • Settings: While sometimes called a "processing artifact," it is frequently considered an inherent feature of the panel's T-Con board to manage brightness and color.
    • Source Quality: Higher quality, higher bitrate content reduces the need for heavy, visible dithering

If that's true then good on LG for making important picture quality improvements in a single generation. The off axis green tinting still seems to be a problem but that's not really as big of a deal as the near black problems have been.

EDIT: Picture of the G6's dithering.

https://www.avsforum.com/attachments/img_7898-png.3885128/

Not sure if this is a good or bad result. Picture seems to be taken pretty close to the screen and not from a typical viewing distance.

From the transcript of that video:

"Now, if you don't know about this, basically, as we got near black, there was a lot of crawling and graininess on the screen, and certain scenes could have somewhat of a, you know, diagonal lines going across the screen. And I've been told, now we'll wait and see how it actually holds up, but I've been told that apparently all their TVs, and I would I would expect at the very least their highest end TVs should be significantly reducing this problem. Hopefully, it's just, you know, quote unquote "visually solved". You can't completely solve it on OLED, but hopefully it's basically invisible at this point, but again, we'll have to wait and see how effective this new fix is. "

So, 'he's been told'. :rolleyes:
. .

I think part of the problem is that "TV" marketing takes it from a longer, stereotypical living room/media room viewing distance's perspective. People viewing up at 60 deg to 50 deg viewing angle, filling their human central viewing angle (or those that suffer cons sitting even nearer), may see things that people sitting farther away would not. Whether diagonal dithering lines are visible (to those with keen eyesight or the same via corrective lenses) at 3.5' or less, or at 4', 5'... or whether you need to be sitting at 6' to 8'+ away could be the question. There could be some differences in how visible it is between screen sizes vs viewing distances (related to PPD and overall screen size to your perspectve).

Also worth noting that there is a difference between 4:2:0 video material, and such material that is dynamically compressed "live" streaming from streaming platforms, so I wonder if that might come into play at all as, a pro or as a con (e.g. if dithering is amped up on lower bitrate material, or lower bit color, for example). The up close examples I've seen of LG G5 dithering have been on games, though, so that might not matter from a pc gaming perspective.

A few I linked a few times in my previous replies, including only the 4th back from this reply I'm typing in now (#9,126). These are from the G5.

So turns out that picture was just a screenshot taken directly from the video at 2:26 meaning the dithering is visible from quite a distance.

EDIT: Looks like that's actually a picture of the G5, the G6 is supposed to be the TV in the middle, not the far right.

Panel to panel variances mean you should calibrate if yourself. There is no optimized list that works well on all units.
 
Otherwise than the mentioned software bugs, it looks like it'd suit me perfectly.
 
I really wish they'd offer the G series in 42", 48" etc... or just put the same high end panel in the C series and just leave G for those who want the "artsy mount on the wall look" to it. I wonder when we'll start seeing tandem panels used in decent 4K 240hz 32" panels.

I honestly didn't know that one was a Tandem / 4th Gen OLED. Thanks. On the LG webpage for it (currently selling for $999) it talks about an MLA+ display which used to be used for 3rd gen display tech from LG, not "Tandem" which was 4th gen being discussed here or in the C6 / G6. I wonder if Asus will take the same tandem panel and build a ROG monitor for it; so far the last Tandem I saw they had was a 1440P version.

That said, it is a bit odd that the C6 / G6 are still stuck at 120hz rendering (apparently VRR up to 165 but the display can only handle 120?) when other aspects of the display have evolved. My old C2 has done a great job for several years now, but I thought that by C6 they'd be onto higher specs in certain regards as well as the newer panels and stuff like including DisplayPort instead of only HDMI etc

165Hz is probably just an overclock from what is a native 120Hz panel. I don't think we will see 240Hz panels until HDMI 2.2 starts rolling out so maybe in 2028 at the earliest. The big issue I have with tandem monitors (all OLED monitors actually) is that because of heat and burn in concerns, the brightness will always be reduced quite a bit compared to larger TVs. That tandem 32" monitor will not deliver HDR anywhere near the 48" C6 for sure.

It would be easier for them to just drop a DisplayPort 2.1 port on the thing next to the HDMI plugs. Especially given that users have been using the OLEDs as monitors since the CX 48" , you'd think if bandwidth was a problem they could add some DisplayPort for those using the thing like a monitor with 240hz refresh rates. People connecting their HDMI set top boxes and consoles aren't going to need to push anything above 120hz but at least it could be doable if your hardware supported it otherwise like a PC GPU. It would also make things much easier for us (admittedly niche in the grand scheme of things) Linux users who don't want to deal with HDMI bullshit restrictions for full bandwidth use if using FOSS drivers (ie the most performant and compatible thing with AMD GPUs).

As far as brightness, that's a good point to look into it but last I checked I didn't think that was so much of an issue to actually restrict brightness vs some of the OLED TVs. After all, the later generations of panels seem to only be getting brighter and otherwise more performant, and both LG's OLED and Samsung QD-OLED have their different ways of doing things (with the 4th gen Tandem OLED I was under the impression that LG's display tech was considerably ahead for the moment). However, the manufacturers can make use of this with their own built in features - Asus for instance was known to put pretty massive heatsinks on some of their displays and add other anti-burn in technologies. Now it very well may be that LG's monitors are going to be limited for fear of burn in or heat, but I don't think that's necessarily universal with increasing tech and different manufacturers having their own approach to a given panel's use.

My thinking is that they just don't want to spend money to upgrade the controller to something capable of handling 240 Hz. It's ultimately a niche feature for TV users when consoles don't support it for gaming and the only benefit for media viewing would be e.g frame smoothing mainly useful for sports watching.

Which sucks donkey balls because I would love it for desktop use and PC gaming. I wish these companies would bring back the "large format gaming screen" concept because I would rather have a very high quality display with the image quality features of these TVs, but without the smart TV crap that makes using them a pain in the ass.

I mean 144Hz and 165Hz are also both niche refresh rates that have no uses outside of PC gaming as well but they were willing to implement it. It's probably just LG drip feeding refresh rate upgrades every 2 years in small increments rather than just giving us a single big leap to 240Hz off the bat. Next year will probably be 180Hz or 200Hz and then only in 2028+ will we finally have chance at 240Hz is what I'm thinking.
 
Whenever they update their chip to support hdmi 2.2 will be probably when 240hz 4k is added. Probably with a better black frame insertion mode included.

What’ll take longer to arrive is a gsync pulsar styled feature (maybe even just pulsar). And they could also introduce the technology to things like sports mode etc to have less motion blur. (The main reason I’m tempted to grab a UST DLP projector and fresnel alr screen for the living room when the current tv dies since dlp is king for motion blur.)

I would love to be wrong but I feel like LG is completely done with BFI, or at least when it comes to BFI that is very good on the level of the CX. These days BFI just feels like a tacked on afterthought. Pulsar is definitely something I want, but I don't see it happening on OLED, probably a higher chance that will show up on future displays like QDEL or self emmisive QNED since those should not have brightness issues like OLED does.

Are you sure the 48" would be released in the usa? Some manufacturers/product lines only release those outside of the usa. (I realize not everyone on [H] is in the usa, just saying).

They also seem to be having uniformity issues in the newer panels and dirty near blacks, etc. if you follow the avsforum threads, which include pictures showing it.

Recent quote:

"the most important test for me on these OLED's is uniformity (gray/near black to black). as per usual, uniformity is all over the place with these panels. the C6H scored a 6.8 which is a dissapointment. the C6 was a lil better at 7.5, but still. i want my uniformity at 8.5 or better. after all these years it's still a panel lottery. curious how the G6 scores. so far it looks like I'll be using my G4 for at least another year."

Some comment about dark vertical bars.

G6 mentions of "chrominance overshoot and overbrightened eotf" in gaming forced tonemapping and HGIG issues.

I think the DV in the G5 was "broken", too.

Plus, for up close PC use within 5' or 3' , you may see noticeable horizontal dithering lines on the G5 and G6, which appear to move. (That would be a deal breaker to me for that usage scenario).

. . . .

Not trying to burst your bubble, but make sure you do your homework so you know the pros/cons. A few things might be fixable with fw updates, but some are probably intrinsic to the tvs.

This is why I'm forever stuck on my LG C1. It has the best uniformity of any screen that I've ever owned. If I could guarantee that same uniformity with a C6 then sure I'd upgrade. But I don't want to play lotto. I always lose lotto. And I have trauma from the sheer amount of monitors I've returned in my lifetime.

I think this is the big reason the G5 G6 are an expensive alternative.

"
Tandem Brightness: Uses a Primary RGB Tandem panel that achieves much higher fullscreen brightness (nearly 400 nits vs
S90F’s 250 nits), making it better for daytime PC use.
"
G6

Peak Brightness (10% Window)~2,471 nits
Full-Screen Brightness (100% Window)~432–455 nits
Refresh RateUp to 165Hz (PC) / 120Hz (Console)


For reference, reports on the LG 48CX and C1 states:
"The full-screen (100% white window) brightness of the LG 48-inch CX OLED is generally measured around 115 to 146 nits in HDR mode."
"
The LG 48 C1 OLED has a sustained fullscreen (100% window) brightness of approximately 130 to 150 nits
"


You can extrapolate from there what smaller % windows might be, or search them up. It would be nice to have brighter 25%, 50%, 100% fields where my current oleds drop the brightness (e.g. from a smaller windowed image or video made to a larger one where the brightness drop is obvious and the brighter windowed version shows "what you are missing" so to speak) - but at the price point of the G6 and the aforementioned wrinkles/issues, I don't think I could stomach it unless it was closer to $1k than $2k, plus the dithering lines if visible at ~ 3.5 foot viewing distance would be a return regardless so it might just be ruled out for me for pc use because of how it operates.

.

I still might get a S90F to carry me through until something that fits the bill better for me hopefully shows up in the following few years. if the S90F drops another $100 I might bite. The 2026 samsung oleds are just shipping in the last few weeks I think so the s90f might drop a bit more before it goes out of stock.

. . . ..

I'd really love a 45" 5120x2160 OLED that was glossy and had full gaming TV PQ/output rather than whatever the gx950a did. Maybe some other big format screens will come out in 2027 and later.

As with any tech, there is always something better to wait for. QDEL displays are aiming for a 2029 launch so if you wanted to get something in 2027-2028 now you would think why not just wait another year or two for QDEL instead.

The 48 inch C6 has a tandem panel. The spectral power distribution graph proves it. I'm not a huge fan of the displayguy, but he has no reason to lie about this.

I don't think that I suggested that it wasn't? I only asked if the 48 inch would be released in the usa, not what panel type it was.

I mentioned some pq issues in the G5 and G6 in general. I don't believe any of those quotes mentioned sizes. I also recommended reading the ongoing dialogues about the G5 and G6 issues on AVS forum, and pointed out how the potential of diagonal dithering lines being visible may make these model lines a poor choice for near pc use at 3.5 feet or less viewing distance in the first place.

I'm saying you don't need a G6 to get a tandem panel anymore and tandem panel was one of the big selling points for G series. As for PQ issues I don't know that seems to be subjective as to how bad it is.

Thanks for the link. Will see how it goes. If a large format like 45 inch 5120x2160 800R glossy comes out with gaming tv PQ, (or something similar) before then, I'd probably get that rather than wait on gen1 qdel.

Gotcha. Will have to see if the tandem in the 48 has the same cons/issues as the G5 or G6 (outside of the potential for seeing dithering lines when viewed near). It wouldn't suprise me but will have to see when people get their hands on them.

If dithering lines are visible that rules them all out in my book.

There is no way monitors will ever match TV's when it comes to PQ. Density/heat problems and the need to mitigate burn in will mean monitors will always have greatly reduced brightness over TVs. Best it can do is probably match the C series from 10 years ago with a 10% window brightness of around 700-800 nits. The current tandem WOLED panel and 5 stack penta QD OLED are barely any improvement over last gen stuff so I don't see too much future improvement in this area. Probably a QDEL monitor would solve all these issues. Also, Samsung claimed to have made a breakthrough in their emmisive nano rod tech so that's another OLED successor coming in the future, no idea what it will be called though since LG yoinked the QNED name from them.

Seems like the time to upgrade your OLEDs is now, otherwise if you wait another year or two then you'd be better off just waiting a little bit longer for QDEL/Samsung self emissive nano rod instead.

I may get a 55" q90f if I can score one under a grand and then hope a better large format screen (especially curved , and glossy, and at 800r preferably) gets made in the next few years - even if its at "oled gaming tv from a few years before it" levels.

I'll look into the c6 though. The 48 one would have a better price bracket compared to the ~ $1k s90f, but idk if that will be released in the usa? Plus the potential of visible dithering may make that dead in the water for me.

Yeah it's available in the USA to buy right now that's how DisplayGuy got his. Other regions outside the USA may not get a tandem panel on the 48 inch C6. In fact I think it is very unlikely that regions outside the US get a tandem panel on the C6 because that would cannibalize the 48 G6 sales. Here in the US though there is no 48 G6 to have a 48 C6 with a tandem panel compete against.

I finally got around to watching the vid. Interesting.

He said it got rid of the diagonal dithering, but he said it got rid of the dithering "just like the G6" . I'm not sure the G6 did, or I was unaware of it I guess. However, he did post this in his video as proof, up close even :

He also said he thinks it "might" have less banding - depending on the source
. . .

So, it sounds promising. Since it's new, there is no discount available on the LG partner store just yet - which is where I got a discount on my LG gx950a. I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully get more details about the dithering and other cons/problems as compared to the ones on the G5, G6.

.

Edit: Idk if he just reused the same dithering comparison image from his G6 video or not. (He could have just screen-capped the same thing in both instances).

I read that the dithering is meant to mitigate grey banding so if you decide to pick up a monitor over a TV then well, if you check reddit there is tons of threads of owners having horrible grey banding on their tandem WOLED monitors so you'll just be playing into a huge panel lottery instead, and even then you'll probably still have some bit of grey banding regardless. It's a pick your poison thing with WOLEDs unfortunately, either you deal with grey banding or you deal with dithering.

Yes I understand what it fixes, but it is what it is. Apparently the G6 and tandem C6 don't have the aggressive dithering lines though, which is great.


Once it gets a discount for eligible accounts on the LG partner store to where I'm happy with the price, I'll probably get one. It's still too early for discount to hit, but I did get one pretty early on the gx950a so I'll just keep an eye on the site.

edit: I feel comfortable with buying there. My return experience with the gx950a was painless.
