What is the best 4K screen for gaming? In terms of performance for the price, the Samsung KS7000 and KS8000 are difficult to beat, but as good as they are, there are compromises. Meanwhile, in the background, LG's phenomenal B6 OLED TV has gradually dropped in price, while boosting its gaming credentials with a low latency game mode update. It still costs a lot more than the Samsung, but it is - in our opinion - the new price vs performance king, to the point where all the Digital Foundry team members who've upgraded to a 4K screen at home have opted for this particular model. John and Rich have indeed put their money where their mouths on with this one.
Retailers are making way for LG's more expensive 2017 line-up of displays, which do feature some improvements over this display, but right now we have a window for getting a phenomenal 4K screen at a reasonable price point, while stocks last. And as things stand, regardless of its age, the B6 still manages to deliver one of the best 4K pictures of any UHD TV on the market right now, boasting class-leading black levels, and precise HDR handing on a pixel level that no FALD (full array local dimming) LCD can match.
Combined with the new low latency mode for gamers, the B6 is arguably the best 4K TV available for the money right now, and provides a superior viewing experience over competing high-end LCD sets in most areas. Bright imagery is more faithfully displayed in HDR content on the top end LCD displays - such as the Samsung KS9500 and Sony ZD9 - but overall, you are getting seriously impressive picture quality at a much cheaper price than those outstanding models.
