I have tried but the screen starts flickering when I enable it, I have a 1080, bought a high speed slightly shorter HDMI hoping that would cure it but nope, still does it.

After further testing it's the side ports on my B6 that won't work with my HTPC and deep color, the two rear ports are absolutely fine.

Bit odd, hopefully this won't be the case with other hardware.

Anyone got a PS4 pro with the lg b6?
Just wondered if it was effected by that flickering black screen that seems to be effecting lots with the ks7000.

I have the C6 and a ps4 pro and I've yet to find any issues with it, I've prob put in about 40 hours into it so far.

He ordered from JL, thought they were great for delivery, they have never let me down so far, something must have gone wrong somewhere.

I have always used the free delivery service and got a selected date of delivery and a phone call before they turn up.

JL have checked thier system which says not delivered but there's no reason from the curior company they're trying to ge in touch with them and will call me back

I'm having trouble with this looking good from my pc. nvidia CP only shows 8b colour and 'limited' dynamic range

Good call, just switched the PC to HDMI 4 and can now use Ultra HD deep Colour without flickering

Just bolted mine to the wall. No flickering with PS4 Pro on mine using HDMi 4 on the back....

Is Ultra HD Deep Colour a TV setting or pc?

TV Setting, look under General to find it.

Thanks, I now have access to full dynamic range and RGB colour. Is there supposed to be a 10b option for output colour depth?

Thank's, good to know, maybe it was never much of a problem on the B6, or LG fixed it early. Seems like an annoying issue still present for a lot of PRO owners.

No idea, just seem to see loads of threads on this flickering issue with the ps4 pro.

Got my Pro today, look forward to trying it out later on the B6. Shame it hasn't got a 4k drive, was debating on getting the Xbox S instead, but it makes sense to wait for the scorpio for that.

Moogleys, what RGB black level do you set the pro to, I currently have my ps4 set to limited and low on the TV and it looks good.
Im guessing I should do the same.

That means you aren't getting full range black though.

Will try it, some say limited, some say full. Really is confusing.

My Dad just got this TV, it's a great telly no doubt, though I can't see where the +£800 difference of my KS7000 has went. They both have a fantastic picture to my eyes.
There is 1 thing I'm envious of though...
The magic remote of the LG is a thing of beauty to use, a half hour with that and now my Samsung remote is proper clunky to use.
I don't suppose there is anything out there similar to the LG remote on the market?

Horses for courses. I miss my Samsung remote dearly. I miss pause and stop buttons, and I find the key menu buttons just out of reach from normal resting position. I also hate having to put the thing down so the motion sensor times out and the cursor disappears... I could be missing a trick there though.
