Anybody watching ozark on this tv? My god the pictures dark. And it's supposedly in dolby vision.

I think that's the way it was shot and supposed to look, that being said I have the Dolby Vision mode calibrated so it could be darker on yours. If it's an issue you could always up the brightness and OLED light a touch.

Which picture mode you running it at?

Just check and I'm in cinema home

OLED light 50
Contrast 100
Brightness 50

On the B6 i'm pretty sure I have my OLED light at 100 for both HDR and Dolby Vision

I find a lot of Dolby Vision content on Netflix is dark and a bit soft. Yet Jack Ryan on Prime, which the the TV detects as DV, looks fantastic.

It's not a bandwidth issue either as I've checked and Netflix maxes out 15 Mbps and is apparently 2160p.

Ozark on Netflix is by default one of their darker showa with a slightly different colour palette, there was a picture posted on Reddit the other day with someone asking about this and if you get Ozark from 'other' sources the colours are completely different.

I've just got an lg b7 and currently watching Ozark, I too thought it was too dark. I find it's much better watching this at night with the lights out.
I did fiddle with the settings initially but just made it worse so went back to the stock settings.

So, tonight my B7 has produced a vertical white band on it, so I’ve run the 5% YouTube test and doesn’t look great at all

I really wanted to avoid looking because I knew I’d find something... the vertical white band is basically unavoidable in normal viewing.

Purchased via Richer Sounds, should I call them??

That looks horizontal.

Are you sure it's not image retention? excessive gaming or something?

billystanton · 3 Oct 2018 at 21:43

You’re right haha! Horizontal it is!!

No gaming done on it yet, and only just moved into my new place a week ago.

TV was purchased back in June, but has only been used for a week... I’ve set the pixel refresh to run when I turn the unit off tonight, disappointing for such low usage though

Pixel refresh run last night and seems to be fixed for now. Really not sure what could’ve created the band on the screen!

Will check it again tonight when it’s dark

jpaul · 4 Oct 2018 at 10:04

not for your case, but, interesting functionality I had not seen previously mentioned in oc

Dingbatt: PMed you.
Am I right in recalling that the '8' series LG OLEDs also have a 'logo removal' setting? Where it looks for a static logo and virtually blanks it out.
Since LG is top of my shortlist, I'm hoping the pixel refresh isn't going to be a problem. Having said that, the family are well versed in looking after screens susceptible to burn in, having had Plasmas for more than a decade. (First rule: No Gaming).
EDIT: @Dingbatt I just changed the logo dimming setting form the maximum setting to "off" while watching One News. The solid part of the logo increased in brightness (noticeably, but not hugely), however the translucent part didn't appear to change at all. So the feature does do something on solid static logos.

Aloha, quick one (sorry if already mentioned)...

If anyone has slow internet access on their TV, make sure on screen share than listening mode is switched off.

I had the same issue mentioned in this thread like a few people - https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/lg-oled-tv-wireless-issue/

Turned it off and went from 3mbps to 65mbps.

Thanks =]

Pressure on the screen perhaps?

TALON1973 · 19 Nov 2018 at 16:17

I had to reset my TV due to Internet issues . My presets are back to basic.

Nowtv footy is a shambles now. Anyone got a good setting to stop the motion blur / ghosting

There was someone on avforums that had something that looked a lot like this which was meant to been caused by the sun shining on it

LG C8 down to £2399 now.
Bring on Friday, bring it down more!

Which 55 inch OLED is the one to get? My trusty 42 inch Panasonic Plasma has finally given up after 7 years of service.

AF9 Gets my Vote ,

But the picture quality is very close to each other on all the OLEDs...
Look for any extra features that one has that another doesn't
