LG OLED G6 65" is a game-changer for Russ Meyer movies

LG OLED G6 65" is a game-changer for Russ Meyer movies

Recently, I dove into the crazy, bosom-centric cinematic realm of Russ Meyer with Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens, and I'm quite obsessed with the reflection handling on the G6. The film itself is a clear attempt to out-crazy and out-camp his own 1976 sex comedy, Supervixens, through frantic editing that feels hard to endure, while Roger Ebert pens the bizarre slapstick script under a pseudonym. I decided to check it out using the Cinema Home setting with HDR, and I was shocked by the way LG OLED's Reflection-Free Premium technology protected the black frames on screen. Here's a shot of my setup with the opening restoration details from Severin Films' 4K release, showing just how well the TV retains picture quality beyond your usual anti-glare coating.

What other movies should I check out on this OLED during daytime?

Night of the Comet is a vibrant must-see apocalypse movie on the LG OLED G6 65"

Been itching to check out Scream Factory's new 4K UHD scan of Night of the Comet, and I'm absolutely stunned by the way it looks on the G6 with Dolby Vision. Directed by Thom Eberhardt, it still evokes the teen spirit of the mid-80s, with gorgeous neon lighting, characters in colorful wardrobes, and action scenes drenched in a moody red haze that establishes the apocalyptic sci-fi horror vibe. I opted to watch it in Cinema Home, and as always, LG OLED's tonal range feels leagues ahead of my old setups. I'm continually impressed by how well this TV reproduces such saturated color grades with rich hues and depth like this one!

What are the best neon-forward flicks to check out on my OLED next?

Revisited Scream 4 on my LG OLED G6 65" and scared myself silly

Scream 4 has always been one of my most nostalgic horror movies, but watching it tonight for the first time on my G6 65" in Cinema Home with Dolby Vision struck an extra special chord. Every other sequence features Ghostface or his red herring counterpart lurking in the dark corners of a hospital room, parking garage, or barn party at night. With Perfect Black, the notorious closet attack scene particularly popped with an infinite amount of shadow detail under the mixed lighting of the deserted suburban home environments on the anniversary of the Woodsboro Murders. My favorite thing about seeing this on an LG OLED TV is how dynamic the darker visuals look without backlight glow or the risk of compression artifacts like on my old LCD. Genuinely frightening, and the closest the film has felt since I saw it in theaters 15 years ago!

What's the next best horror movie to watch on my OLED at night?
