Picked up a LG OLED55B6V

[VincentHanna]

The Question is: Is the B6 up-datable?

That's the question. All the other models are but the B6 uses a different chipset - all bets are off :/

Welcome to the OLED club!

55" E6 owner here!

Saw the 65" C6 today in a store and my jaw dropped for a good 30seconds. I feel like I could almost reach inside the TV and touch those people...it just looks real.

I must save up more and get one.

But the screen is bent on that model :O

You get used to a curved screen very quickly. It's hardly noticeable unless you look at the TV side on.

Good news about the HDR game mode being implemented.. makes this tv even more complete

 

[MG42Maniac]

I had an update last night, .65 I believe. I don't think it will impact me as I am not using HDR for gaming. I am awaiting the Youtube HDR update though, I've only seen a few DV and HDR titles but they look stunning.

 

[VincentHanna]

.65 is to do with issues between PS4 Pro and HDCP 2.2 with the LG's

 

[MG42Maniac]

Ah, I see, I've got a regular PS4 so no benefits for me. About the only thing I'd like is twin tuners but I suspect this is a hardware change not software!

 

[VincentHanna]

Great news

well i have been notified about an update tonight when I fired mine up. although it does not affect me as I dont have an hdr console.

 

[VincentHanna]

That's probably .65 which is to solve a HDCP 2.2 issue with the PS4 Pro.

My 65" B6V arrived today and I am utterly blown away by how good it looks.

Had been reading threads with issues about vignetting etc but this looks incredible.

At first I was panicking as there seemed to be two areas on the screen (before even turning it on) that had blemishes, but I think it was where it had been in a cold warehouse/van as they disappeared soon after I turned the TV on and haven't reappeared.

Input lag on standard 1080p and 4k games was unnoticeable, it was only when I played Forza Horizon 3 in HDR that I noticed it, and even then it wasn't exactly game breaking.

Previously had a Panasonic 55VT50 plasma and then a Panasonic 58AX802b LED but this has the best image quality I've ever seen. The grand tour looked superb and that was just streamed. Can't wait to try a decent UHD Blu-ray.

 

[MG42Maniac]

This week's Grand Tour looked stunning in 4K HDR, particularly the vegetation on Hammond's car, so vivid and detailed. One annoying thing I have noticed is that my TV doesn't seem to save the Wide Colour gamut setting in HDR and just reverts back to Normal when I close the feed. Is this is a bug in the software or me not using it properly?

 

[VincentHanna]

Hmmmm, I'll try and test that tonight if you want.

I'm considering getting one of these but I've heard although HD is fantastic, standard SD content can look bad. Can any owners share their experience with standard SD tv content please?

 

[VincentHanna]

I don't really watch standard definition stuff at all, but have flicked through a few channels.

At 65 inches there's only so much you can do with 704x576 pixel resolution...

The picture looks very very soft and I wouldn't choose to spend much time watching anything at that resolution

Luckily all the Freesat channels I watch have HD.

 

[FurryLemon]

You're better off with a 1080p set if you watch a lot of SD content. In France everything is HD now. The uk has some catching up to do!

 

[VincentHanna]

Agreed.

I stopped watching Standard Def and DVD's when I got a 4k TV in 2014. HD, Blu-rays and 4k streaming only now.
