'An undeniable upgrade': the LG C6 is one of the best TVs I've tested this year, and it's at a record-low price in the Amazon Labor Day sale

(Image credit: Future) If you're looking for a new TV in the Labor Day sales, then my top recommendation is the LG C6. You can get the 65-inch model for $1,499.99 (was $2,699.99) at Amazon: a huge 44% off.Easily one of the best TVs I've tested in 2026, the LG C6 ticks all the boxes, delivering the picture quality for movies, the performance for gaming and sports, and the versatility for any other areas you might need.While we'd usually recommend last year's models in sales, as they're generally available cheaper, not only is the C6 a worthy upgrade over its predecessor, the LG C5, but both models are at the same price of $1,499.99 for a 65-inch. So, the C6 is a no-brainer.Today's best LG C6 deal An undeniable upgrade The LG C6 (left) is a notable upgrade over its predecessor the LG C5 (right) (Image credit: Future)After the success of the LG C5 last year, the LG C6 had some big shoes to fill. The LG C-series has been a long-running successful lineup of TVs for years, but on occasion, they don't innovate that much from year to year. In truth, the C5 wasn't a huge step-up over its predecessor, the LG C4. So naturally, I was hoping for a big upgrade this year in the C6: and boy did I get it.When I compared the LG C6 and LG C5 side-by-side, I saw a noticeable upgrade in picture quality. The C6 was brighter (over 250 nits higher in peak HDR brightness) than the C5, which meant that bright scenes — such as those with a lot of snow — had a lot more punch on the C6.Where I was really impressed was the colors. Not only did they look more vibrant and natural on the C6, demonstrated by some pink flowers in Wicked, but the C6 got rid of the 'green tint' that has been known to plague some LG OLED panels in recent years. This meant pictures looked more accurate overall, resulting in a better viewing experience.Outside of picture, the C6 comes fitted with the flagship Alpha a11 Gen 3 AI processor, the same used in the flagship LG G6 and a first for the LG C-series. This means performance feels smoother and more responsive, and it benefits from more picture upgrades.Finally, LG's C-series are among the best gaming TVs and the C6 is no different. It supports 4K 165Hz, full VRR including G-sync and FreeSync, plus Dolby Vision gaming and ALLM across four HDMI 2.1 ports, it's fully kitted out for gaming. Throw in an ultra-low 9.2ms input lag time and you have a superb gaming TV that was a blast to use for gaming during my testing.Other fantastic Labor Day TV deals Shop more of today's best Labor Day salesAmazon: 45% off TVs, AirPods, air fryers & vacuumsApple: iPads, AirPods & MacBooks from $99Appliances: up to $1,200 at SamsungBest Buy: 60% off appliances, TVs, laptops & moreCasper: up to 30% off mattressesDell: laptop deals from $249.99DreamCloud: up to 60% off mattresses, 66% off bundlesHome Depot: 40% off appliances, furniture, grills & toolsLowe's: $1,000 off appliances, patio & toolsNectar: up to 50% off mattresses, deals from $349Saatva: up to $625 off luxury mattressesSamsung: up to $2,000 off 4K, QLED & OLED TVsTarget: 45% off clothing, tech & furnitureWalmart: 58% off back-to-school, furniture, & clothing Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.
