LG: G6’s color saturation is intentional, prioritizing natural tones in Filmmaker Mode

LG says the G6 OLED TV’s colors in Filmmaker Mode are deliberately toned down compared with the G5 to deliver more natural tones, following creators’ feedback that the G5’s palette was too vibrant. The G6 is touted as up to 20% brighter (around 400 nits fullscreen vs about 331 nits for the G5 in Filmmaker Mode) with processing improvements like Alpha 11 Gen 3, Hyper Radiant Color Technology and enhanced tone mapping, plus better handling of reflections. In demonstrations, the G5 appeared more punchy in color, though the G6 offered improved highlights and reduced glare; full lab measurements are pending to confirm overall differences.
