❓
Frequently Asked Questions
01 What type of panel does the LG OLED97G6WUA use? ›
It uses an OLED panel, where each pixel generates its own light. This produces perfect blacks and near-infinite contrast — ideal for dark content and cinematic viewing. Response times are also extremely fast at under 1ms.
02 Does the LG OLED97G6WUA support 120fps on PS5 and Xbox? ›
✓ Yes. The 120Hz panel supports 120fps Performance Mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Games like Call of Duty, Forza, and Ratchet & Clank show noticeably smoother motion at 120fps versus standard 60Hz mode.
03 How good is the HDR on the LG OLED97G6WUA? ›
OLED delivers the best possible HDR — each pixel switches off for pure blacks while bright highlights stay vivid. The contrast is effectively infinite, which is impossible to achieve with LED backlight panels. HDR films and games look exactly as intended.
04 Is the LG OLED97G6WUA suitable for photo or video editing? ›
OLED panels deliver highly accurate colours and perfect black levels, making them well-suited for photo retouching and video colour grading. Shadow detail is preserved that LCD panels often crush.
05 Who is the LG OLED97G6WUA best for? ›
It is best suited for content creators, movie fans. It is less ideal for hardcore gaming — there are better-spec'd options for those needs. Check the "Who Should Buy" section above for a full profile breakdown.
06 Can the LG OLED97G6WUA be used as a PC monitor? ›
Technically yes, but TVs are optimised for viewing distances of 2–4 metres. As a desk monitor the pixel density may feel lower than a dedicated PC monitor of similar size. Input lag in Game Mode is typically acceptable for console gaming but check the spec for PC gaming use.
Questions are generated from LG OLED97G6WUA specifications. For full technical data, see the Specifications tab above.
