Why would the LG G6 need HDMI 2.2 please?

So I can play games at a higher refresh rate dumbo

Is that with DLSS performance and 4x frame gen on your 50 series card?

Is audio sync still a problem?

LG G6 details are leaking

* Brightness booster Ultra: 3300nits peak brightness
* Revised Alpha 11 chip with 5x more AI performance
* 165hz refresh rate
* four HDMI 2.1 ports

Very disappointing, its basically the same TV as the G5 but just brighter. No LG TVs in 2026 will support Dolby Vision 2 and no LG TVs come with HDMI 2.2 ports

Dunno why anyone would want one now that Copilot has been shoehorned into the LG software with no way to disable it.
Makes it an instant no go for me

I'm so used to LG now, not sure what else I'd buy, maybe Samsung but no Dolby vision sucks, definitely not Sony though

Same, I would consider Panasonic though, not that Ive had a tv from them in a while but they seem like a good bet with all the features. Why not Sony though out of curiosity? for me they seem the most expensive out of all them.

No point in looking at Samsung, with or without DV. Copilot was rolled out to Samsung TV's last August.

Yea, thankfully it's only 2025 onwards so my S95D is safe.
It'll be a good few years before I upgrade again, but I guess it'll have to be Sony next time around. Shame about the Sony tax though

That brand is not sold where I am

Get yourself an Apple 4k 3rd gen. Install all your streaming apps on it, disconnect the TV from the internet and your good to go. No more adverts either, so a Brucie bonus.
Just reconnect the TV once a month to check for firmware updates.

Read they may update the firmware for you to disable copilot.

If the TV is never going to be on the internet and it works, why even install firmware updates?

Stability, security fixes, app updates, improved motion, scaling updates, HDMI / CEC updates, add codec support/fixes for the player, updated colour correction values, improved pixel refresh updates, improved 24hz support, UPNP updates, adding audio codec to E-ARC, and also sometimes update HDMI 2.0 to 2.1 or similar.

They're basically computers now.

Panasonic license their name to cheap brands now as well, so unless you research the TV first, there is no way to know if it's actually the Panasonic you want.

I'd only buy the higher end Panasonics, certainly not the LCD's.

Just the OLED

It's a box.

If it plays things properly and it looks fine to my eye, I cannot see the point in ever updating it. If something stops working or doesn't work, then I get it. But apart from that I don't see the point.

I see you still haven't learned, you ask questions you're given the answers and become difficult about it..

It's not "just a box" I've already stated things they fix. Could also fix memory leaks, improve memory management. Also improve GUI speed update firmware on the remote control

LG improved the black level crush on their firmware. Companies could also add HDR features.

But keep on being obstinate.

There are OEM Panasonic OLEDs now.

No, you haven't learned that normal people buy a TV, plug things into it and if it works, they use it. My OLED works fine, I am very happy with it. I will not connect it to the internet and update it when I don't need to.

I don't miss things I don't have.

I think it is you, that needs to think about how to communicate, as you aren't popular around here, buddy.
