LG OLED55B7V price hikes everywhere??

It's straight on mine. Can whatever it is resting on take the weight?

Ok those of you that have the tv, is it straight on its stand? I’ve tried reattaching my stand, and have even been into Richer Sounds and swapped the stand for another one but the tv is still leaning backwards quite a few degrees! Is it the design??

Silly question I now..... But have you taken the rubber feet at the end of the stand? I originally had them on when I put the tv up and it was definitely tilting with them on. Took the feet off and it was fine.

If you mean the large grey rubber feet it was packaged in then yes they’ve been removed. It’s just the two piece stand screwed together and attached to the TV.

Yup it’s a large thick tv cabinet which had no issues holding a 55inch plasma which weighed a lot more then the OLED!

I’ve also checked the level of the cabinet and it is perfect. It’s the tv or stand that seems to be leaning. I’m just surprised that swapping the stand out and it still leans! I’ll get a photo and post shortly.

ok so it’s fairly hard to get a picture showing the lean. It looks like it’s leaning more in person then the pics!

RoboCod · 24 Jun 2018 at 11:47

Yeah that doesn't look right at all.

TALON1973 · 24 Jun 2018 at 12:00

With those pics if anything if looks like it's leaning forwards.

MatsyLR · 24 Jun 2018 at 14:43

I agree with Talon, the second picture IF anything shows it leaning ever so slightly foward.

How do you turn that stupid fireworks display off, if you don't do anything for 1 minute?

That's there to prevent image retention or burn in when you go 'afk'

Take it out of store/shop mode?

I can't really remember if mine was leaning or not (it's back in the box now until I move) but I do know that if you go looking for issues then you'll find them!

Ask RS to replace the TV if you're within 14 days. I'm sure they will!

That's already off

MatsyLR · 25 Jun 2018 at 17:12

Dont think you can turn it off.
Not sure why you would want too anyway? it only comes on if you've been afk (non tv) and is a measure to prevent any kind of image retention.
Saves power also.

Hmmm.... Just put my xbox one x one my TV

Erm

billystanton · 25 Jun 2018 at 21:00

I believe you need to turn the option on in the settings for HDR 10... can’t remember what the name is bough!

billystanton · 25 Jun 2018 at 21:01

Ah, it’s UHD Ultra Deep Colour, in the all settings tab.

I did that for my 4k player. Remind me where that is? Lol

Edit found it

Blinkz · 25 Jun 2018 at 21:43

I emailed LG and they have said that the TV is designed to lean back a little. I’m going to send them some pics to confirm if what I have is normal. Here is two more pics with a level to show it:

kinetic747 · 26 Jun 2018 at 10:13

I'll check mine later but I'm pretty sure it's level, to the eye anyway.

VincentHanna · 26 Jun 2018 at 10:41

A quick google reveals the B7 has a slight lean and the C7 doesn't...

Glanza · 26 Jun 2018 at 10:57

Our B7 has a slight lean back, if you want a crazy lean out of the box look at some of the Sony tv's :eek:
