Our Verdict
Unless you really want a good viewing angle or WebOS, there are better TVs out there for the same price as the LG LF6300. In a bright room, it reflects too much light, and in a dark room, the blacks look gray. It is also not a good gaming TV, because of the high input lag and the sub-par motion blur.
- Great smart features
- Good viewing angle
- Poor blacks
- High input lag and a bit too much motion blur
- A lot of reflection in a bright room
Check Price
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests are done with specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
Test Results
This LG has an IPS panel, so it has the contrast ratio is sub-par.
The top and the side edges are much darker, and there is a significant amount of dirty screen effect.
It maintains good color accuracy even when viewed at an angle. Instead of the colors shifting, the picture just darkens.
Update 01/06/2017: We have changed the methodology of testing. Since this is an old TV which we don't have anymore, we extrapolated the results from 2016 TVs.
The LG LF6300 reflects a lot of light. You can see a rainbow flare around bright objects.
It doesn't get very bright, which means it isn't ideal for a room full of windows.
The LG LF6300 has more motion blur than average.
This is a 60Hz TV with motion interpolation, so the effect won't be as strong. It does support 24p playback though, which is great for movies over Blu-rays. It can't do the reverse 3:2 pulldown though.
The lowest input lag we could get out of the LG LF6300 was 50.1 ms, under PC. Game mode had 69.7 ms.
To display Chroma 4:4:4, you need to change the icon of the input to PC.
Poor frequency response, which gets worse as the volume increases. Significant pumping under heavy load. The TV doesn't get loud either, but the bass extension is OK for a TV.
Low distortion levels throughout, but the TV doesn't get loud either.
LG's WebOS is really great. The interface feels fresher than the competition and there is a good selection of apps.
