Picked up a LG OLED55B6V

I have a B6 OLED at the moment and have been doing some side by side comparisons with my KS7000. The blacks on the OLED are fantastic but in my opinion also it's weakest part. The OLED looses huge amounts of low light detail compared to the LCD especially when HDR is being used. I'm still fiddling but the pic below shows what I mean. The OLED is just very black even with the OLED level and brightness turned up. It's HDR reproduction cannot pull the low light detail like the LCD can. It's nice and dark but missing a lot of the image.

Anyone have any tips on settings I have tried the AVF presets but tbh they are even darker.....

I was going to try AVF settings on the B6, but I here lots say how dark the settings are, may try settings by a guy called darko, google darko b6 settings and he has a video.

Have tried lots of settings and tbh they all suffer the same loss of detail in dark areas. I will give these a try but not holding much hope. The only way I have found to get around it is to crank up the brightness but this just causes the blacks to go grey.

I think it's just a limitation of the B6 tbh. Having a read online it seems the newer more expensive OLEDs are brighter and it's not as noticeable. I can see it in games too like BF1 when you go into darker areas you loose the detailing of your gun this does not happen on the LCD.

I will continue to play.

That's were I got mine. The SH7 soundbar is surprisingly good. I'm not getting on with the TV for me it's just not worth the extra £600 over the KS7000. I'm going to play this morning but it's likely going too be going back this afternoon.

Have you tried adjusting the Gamma on your B6 Moogleys ?
 
I just cannot get the OLED

Yes mate. It's a lovely screen and it really wows but when you dig deeper it just does not give the full picture so to speak. The black crush is very apparent and the loss of detail in dark scenes is very apparent no matter how much tweaking the settings I do. It's either very dark or Grey....

I wish I had never decided it would be a good idea to run them side by side now....

Trouble is everything else is stunning on it. I think I will just turn off the KS7000 and get it sold pronto so I can no longer compare tbh...... :D

The SH7 soundbar is superb really impressed with the sound from it. Took me a while to work out that you cannot use Bluetooth tv connect and game mode though. Had me stumped for ages... lol

Oh and not being able to read exfat is a pain if you are a Mac user..... :-)

Hope you sort it, Im just setting mine up and personally this TV is on another level to the KS7000.

PQ/software/build quality, its in another league.

Early days and touch wood but my handshake issue I had with the KS7000 has not shown itself either.
 
Apart from shadow detail I agree. It's just a shame to me that is such a big thing. I think I have a really good KS7000 tbh which helps....

Tbh I'm more impressed with the sound bar than the TV.... :)

I'm sticking with it though....

I find the brightness setting is critical. I normally set for each source/media by using eg. white credits against a black background then increasing the brightness until just before you lose the black. I've found this can be anywhere between 45-55. Mine has not been calibrated but I'd still be tempted adjust the brightness slightly depending on the source.

I find no issue with the black detail here but it was taken with a camera so the contrast is better handled.
On an alarming note the camera has picked up severe banding on the on the right which I've never ever seen before even on a 5% slide, so reckon its some sort of deformation or reflection on the panel the camera has found.
As far as being an E6, aren't all the panels the same anyway.

Mind sharing some of your settings i.e backlight, contrast. That looks pretty perfect above.

I know Moogleys picture is not dead centre like yours but it looks a lot better, strange??

as above chuck up some settings I will give them a go....

I think the E6 can go a bit brighter ?

I'm going to re-start and start again a fresh, I have changed so many settings I have no idea what's going on now.... lol
