Rank #6 in Best OLED TV 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Price Ladder Is Upside-Down
LG C6 OLED42C65LA 42-Inch OLED evo 4K Smart TV (2026)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The LG OLED evo AI C6 is a 42-inch 4K OLED television, and it is the smallest screen in this guide, sitting at number six. On its Amazon listing it is priced at £1,099.00, which is £300 more than LG's own 48-inch C4 at £799 on the same page — the smaller LG costs more than the larger one. The listing pairs the set with the α11 AI processor, Dolby Vision, Filmmaker Mode and four HDMI ports, and gives it 4.9 out of 5 from 14 ratings.
Two numbers inside the same listing do not agree. The model name reads "120Hz (VRR 165Hz)", while the specification table on that page states a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The table also gives a base width of 71.8 millimetres on a set it says is 93.2 cm wide, and records 12.1 kg with the stand against 9.8 kg without it. Every figure and quoted review on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Blackest of blacks and brightest of brights, this is a fantastic TV. Beautifully engineered, clear and sharp. It's the smallest yet most expensive TV I've ever owned. Upgraded from a cheaper 43" LG QNED that was inferior in many ways.”
Verified purchase“Amazing tv. I have purchased three LG tv sets in the past, one over 15 years old. And all still work perfectly. This is leaps and bounds even better.Any one who gives less than 5 ⭐️ is not aware of what they have and it's capabilities.I'm not going to say anymore because there are loads of reviews out there, except that I would definitely buy again .”
