I pulled the trigger on the B6.

Anyone got some good settings for picture etc? I don't like it too bright and as natural as possible.

See post #757 there are some you can try there.

Thanks Peahead. Managed to get an old tv uplift same time as delivery and that's very useful as my old crt is 100kilos or something.

Are they aware of that and not just it's a TV need removing? Some places will refuse due to weight etc.

I'm thinking of getting one of these, however the room that it'll be in is really bright with the sun often straight onto the screen. Is this a good option for this room? Thanks.

They say your old tv. There is no info that excludes a CRT. It's a Sony 32 widescreen. John Lewis delivering and removing old tv, I only ordered from them as they uplift tvs.

Not really, in my opinion. No TV is really good in a constantly bright environment though.

OLED is definitely better if you can dim the room a bit, it's fine if you can close blinds or curtains a little at least.

Depends on you and what you want, 2017 models main advantages over the 2016 are:

- better handling of details in dark/black areas
- better handling of motion
- reduced ABL
- lower input lag across the board

The c/b 6 are fantastic for the price though but personally all the above matters to me so I'll be waiting for the b/c 7 series to drop to £1500 now, shouldn't be too long as they are already dropping in prices, not too surprising though given that LG have competition this year for OLED.

Just bought a c7 which im waiting to be delivered. Costco have the b7 at 2400 and the panasonic ez952 drops to 2150 last day of the month also at costco. Prices seem to be dropping fast this year

weird thing is all of lgs 2017 range sized @ 55" are under 2k already in most of Europe , now I know we have Brexit and all which has driven prices up a bit but not over £1k price difference why I think we got a big price drop coming soon as opposed to traditional timelines October / November.

The Panasonic ex952 dropping to 2150 last day of month of costco is a cracking deal hopefully others will follow suit as its priced elsewhere at 2999£

That's just typical UK gouging for you!

55B7D cheapest is EUR 2699 / GBP 2394

55B6V is around EUR 1700 / GBP 1500

If they are available significantly cheaper I would love to know....

Quoting to try later on.

Thanks ..

Used these settings. Picture looks natural.

Anyone tell me where the dejudder settings are so I get as smooth motion as possible?

Rogermelly · 28 Jun 2017 at 16:02

Also I played 4k amazon and the tv says its 1080p. I am using the expert custom setting mode....ideas?

Try De-juder at 0 and De-blur at 10.

Are you an amazon prime member ? i think this is the only way to get 4K from amazon.

Rogermelly · 28 Jun 2017 at 17:57

Thanks peahead.

Yes Prime member and I click the 4k ultra videos on amazon but it shows 1080. Do i need the tv in a particular mode or can I run my custom dark room settings @ 4k uhd?

Note also my internet is standard 10mb not super fast

Rogermelly · 28 Jun 2017 at 18:19

Actually Amazon 4K rarely works : https://www.amazon.com/forum/amazon...AX98ED5WQ3&cdPage=11&cdThread=Tx2BC2Y7APMA6XA

Will maybe take out a Netflix free trial.

Meanwhile the B6 is nothing short of amazing, I am glad I skipped plasma, lcd, led and waited for OLED.

Hi Roger when you first start a 4K UHD video on amazon it initially starts of at 1080p and then after minute or so it should increase to UHD resolution.

Try playing The Grand tour and if the tv switches to HDR mode in the top right corner then it is working correctly.

This could be the problem Roger Amazon recommend a minimum of 15mb.

To stream in 4K Ultra HD, you need a high-speed Internet connection of at least 15 Mbps. Some video apps need even faster speeds to stream in 4K Ultra HD. For example, Netflix and YouTube recommend a connection of at least 20 Mbps.
