The article discusses the anticipation and considerations around upgrading to the new LG C6 OLED TV announced at CES 2026, highlighting its improved panel technology and the author's personal dilemma about upgrading from older models due to size and cost constraints.
As Black Friday approaches, many are considering upgrading their TVs, with significant advancements in screen technology since 2020. For those with older models, upgrading to newer QLED, OLED, or mini-LED TVs can offer improved image quality, better smart TV features, and enhanced gaming capabilities. Mini-LED TVs, like the Hisense U8N, offer brighter displays and better contrast at competitive prices. OLED TVs have also improved in brightness and reliability, with models like the LG C4 and Samsung S95D offering substantial upgrades. Budget-friendly options have also improved, with mini-LED technology becoming more accessible.

Despite the hefty price tag and potential credit card debt, the author has no regrets about the upgrade.
