Our Verdict
The picture quality of the LG LB6300 LED TV is inferior to other TVs in the same price range. Unless you really want WebOS or the wide viewing angle, go for another TV, like the Samsung H6350.
- Great Smart TV interface. The WebOS platform is visually appealing and user friendly.
- Low input lag, which is great for gaming.
- Poor contrast ratio. The blacks are gray in a dimly lit room.
- The screen reflects a lot of light. The screen becomes yellow when you have too much light in your room.

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 use 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.

It is even worse in a room with windows. The whole screen has a yellow tint. If you can't control the lighting in your room, this isn't the TV for you.

Like all IPS panels, the response time of the pixels is slower, so the blur trail is longer. However, this LG LB6300 does use its backlight effectively to reduce the perception of the blur.

To achieve an input lag of 33.9 ms, we had to set the icon of the input to PC and put the TV into game mode. The input lag varied between 20ms and 38ms. More often than not, it was in the low 30s, so we decided to take the picture at 33.9ms.
