Our Verdict
For most people, the fact that the LG UF6800 is using the less accurate 4k panel structure RGBW won't be a big deal. It is hard to tell the difference when watching normal content, even when sitting close. The bigger issues are the average-high input lag (for gaming), the poor contrast (for movies in a dark room) and the significant amount of reflection (in a bright room). At leas, it is able to maintain good color saturation off-axis.
- Good color accuracy when viewed from the side.
- Uses the less accurate RGBW 4k structure. It does have the correct number of pixels, but some are missing color sub-pixels. This is not really noticeable, though, under normal circumstances.
- Poor contrast ratio.
- A lot of reflection.

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.
