LG C6 48 OLED Monitor Review

The LG C6 48 OLED is a 48-inch TV that's popular to use as a monitor. It's a newer version of the LG C5 42 OLED, with the 48-inch model being the second-smallest C6 model, ahead of the 42-inch option. The difference between this size and the other C6 options is that it uses a more colorful Tandem OLED panel, similar to the LG C6H OLED, which is only available in 77- and 83-inch sizes. It also comes with LG's Brightness Booster technology to boost luminosity even further. Besides that, it has features most competing gaming monitors have, like FreeSync Premium, G-SYNC Compatibility, and a 165Hz refresh rate that you can access in its 'Game Optimizer' mode. It also includes HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take advantage of gaming consoles, but unlike modern monitors, it doesn't have any DisplayPort inputs. Lastly, it has features typical of TVs, like the Alpha 11 AI Gen 3 processor, along with the webOS smart platform and Dolby Vision support.

Note: We tested the 65-inch LG C6 OLED 2026 and 77-inch LG C6H OLED as TVs. That said, the results aren't comparable because of the different ways we test monitors and TVs. For example, we tested it with different settings to better represent how someone would use it as a PC monitor.
