That's actually a decent find.

Nice... hot

Heat

HOT!

thus exact model was this price beginning of the year - February/ March . ..I was expecting it to come down in price by now..still waiting

​dam look at them blacks ...inky

Doesn't look great on the wall. With it being bent and all.

Missed one question...HDR? - Yes, dont know how many bits.

Love this direct post lol

What's the difference between this & 2016 model LGOLED55C6V??
TIA

Has HDR via HDMI only so like UHD Blu Ray player

Excellent choice. Wish I had the money.

Sold out on website. Sure there will be stock in the stores.

It has X1 HDMI 2.0 check reviews

I also have the B6 and after doing lots of research the picture on the B6 is around the same as the top end models so your not gaining anything apart from 3D and a horrid subwoofer the only difference is the SOC used but that doesnt make the picture better or worse.

The bit of the panel is the main spec that any HDR TV post should indicate first.

I own lg 65c6v and i must say that 3d is the best i have ever seen, also 4k with HDR is stunning. It's not as much curved as i thought it will be and personally i like it. Web os is brill, i can play my 4k or 3d movies from Synology Ds215j through ethernet no problem. Now i have been waiting for LG to sort the input lag issue on PS4 pro with HDR on, that's the main concern at the moment.

Analogue (that's how it's spelled) would do HDR fine, because it has infinite resolution.

Don't confuse resolution with HDR. Are you referring to analog connectors (yes analog is also an industry standard spelling and in fact, SMPTE prefer the spelling analog)? HDR must follow specifications requiring processing of a digital signal and Sam is correct in citing the use of specific digital interfaces.

If you mean spacial resolution, then no, I am not confusing that with HDR. As analogue signals are not quantised in level, they are therefore are not limited to, say 8 bits. Analogue connections is what he was talking about. How those signals are treated within the device is a different matter.

Oh, and of course the SMPTE would use the American spelling, because it is an American-based organisation. The "MP" bit should provide a clue to that.

stick with the 1080p 2011 panasonic plasma but thanks

SMPTE is US based but is an international body - that is to say their standards are internationally accepted by the major broadcasting and movie industries. For this reason, analog can be used as an alternative spelling to analogue. In fact, I use the word analog in technical documentation, despite being British.

Sam referred to HDR via digital interfaces and not analog and your reply to Sam was that "Analogue would do HDR fine". Given the context, it appears you referred to analog interfaces, hence my question. HDR requires certain specifications and an analog interface will never meet those specifications.

i had the 55" 2013 1080p lg 930v and have been using the 4k 55b6v for 4 months. all of these oled panels that lg produce are just far superior to any led in almost every way. i use my current oled for 4k gaming on my pc, uhd sky q, 4k blue ray downloads and uhd amazon prime. If youve got the budget for one just go and get one even the 930v 1080p oled panel from 2013 beats most current 4k led tvs in almost every way. BTW i have been using my tv's as pc monitors for 4+ hour sessions at a time and still no sign of any screen burn. dont think about just go and get one!

I know what the SMPTE is, but it doesn't make your logic any less flawed though: "analogue" and "analog" are US and UK spelling of the same word, and therefore which one you use depends on which country you are in, just like "color" and "colour" (where, for instance, the EBU tends to use the UK spelling in English-language documents). This is a UK forum, not technical documentation intended for a worldwide audience dominated by American spelling.

But rather than arguing over spelling, I'm interested to know exactly why an analogue interface could not support HDR video signals. Academic of course, because all current video interfaces are digital, but your assertion intrigues me.

As I said, SMPTE is an international body. I don't care which version of analog(ue) is used as both are correct and Sam is correct as far as I am concerned. As for UK forum, have you seen the appalling use of English within these forums?

As you say all video interfaces are digital, it is more specific to say that all video interfaces carry analogue signals, as you are well aware of given your knowledge in electronics. It appears that this is what you are referring to (and given proprietary equipment be able to render the signals into images on a suitable display after ADC conversion), rather than claiming that current HDR streams with their metadata can be read by analogue interfaces such as VGA, SCART and even professional SDI.

Does RS or JL price match with Costco? If so, who to buy with?

OK, I see you're avoiding answering the question.

Lag input?

No, I have not avoided answering the question. Please consume earlier citations! HDR has been specified to depend on certain digital connectors. I am sorry if you feel this is an assertion but I cannot provide you with the SMPTE 2084 and SMPTE 2086 specs as they are not freely downloadable and we do not have copies of them either as we only have specs dated prior to 2012. However, the HDR-10 format requires HDMI 2.0a with HDCP 2.2 to deliver static metadata. This is metadata stored at the beginning of a video transmission that specifies how to process HDR. Dolby Vision does not require HDMI 2.0a but before you get excited and assume this equates to analog connectors, Dolby Vision still requires specific hardware that is incompatible with analog connectors.

I asked you earlier if you referred to analog connectors carrying being able to process HDR video or whether you were simply stating that all signals are analog. You are the one who avoided the question, as it is evident with all your retorts from others who have spotted mistakes in your citations.

It's good that people are passionate about the minutiae of the details posted. It keeps the manufacturers on there toes. But. if I were to upgrade from my Sony 37" Lcd that is still going strong then that would be my point of reference. Whichever way you discuss HDMI, HDR etc... this is going to give a lot of TV for good price.
Thank you OP. Heat added :sunglasses:

Hybrid Log Gamma is an HDR system which is compatible with current television signals and therefore requires no metadata. I therefore ask you, again, how HDR could not be transmitted over an analogue interface.

And considering that the question would make no sense if you apply a pedantic definition of "analogue" to all signals, your counter-question is either pure mischief on your part or makes either you or I appear rather stupid. I chose the former.

Ok, that's fair enough and I wasn't aware of this format but I feel you weren't either until you researched very hard. So, the crux is that the 2 major competing formats require a digital interface for the reasons outlined above but pre processing prior to transmission is viable.

It is not a case of anyone making the other look stupid but I took exception to your rather haughty comment towards another user regarding use of HDMI for HDR transmission and his spelling of analogue.

No, I was aware of this format from the start, which is why I asked the question. I know that there are two approaches: an esoteric one requiring metadata and precisely controlled viewing conditions appropriate for cinema but unrealistic for mass-market domestic viewing, and the other which is much more pragmatic both from the viewer and the broadcaster's point of view, even if it perhaps cannot achieve quite the ultimate high dynamic range experience you might get in the cinema.
As HLG is simply a modification of the gamma curve with no additional information, it would pass quite happily down the same analogue link that could carry any existing signal.
Perhaps responding in kind wasn't the best strategy.

The "esoteric" method requiring metadata (static in the case of HDR10 and dynamic in the case of Dolby Vision) are currently implemented in mass market devices! Why do you believe that is esoteric? HLG is most certainly inferior - there is no "perhaps" about it. It is a transformation of an existing video stream and is akin to processing an image from Full HD to 4K. Hence it does not provide the full range as in the case of HDR10 or Dolby Vision. Although I wasn't aware of HLG, I know about these transformations as we developed a similar system on our players via post processing of an image - note post-processing, so this occurs after the stream has passed through the video interface.

I suggest you read this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/projects/high-dynamic-range. Being implemented in consumer devices means very little if (a) it only works properly when you transform your living room into a home cinema (which the vast majority of people either cannot or will not), and (b) the broadcasters will not implement it due to its impractial cost. Better a system that works in practice than a marginally superior system that doesn't.

Your statement was "I know that there are two approaches: an esoteric one requiring metadata and precisely controlled viewing conditions appropriate for cinema but unrealistic for mass-market domestic viewing" followed by "Being implemented in consumer devices means very little if (a) it only works properly when you transform your living room into a home cinema (which the vast majority of people either cannot or will not)". HDR10 and Dolby Vision use metadata to define the range and do not require home cinema to see the effects - anybody can see the effects of HDR10 or Dolby Vision (ie. impementations that use metadata) without the need for Home Cinema! I don't see your point so I am going to leave at this juncture.

By the way, clicking the BBC link didn't work - maybe I am based in East Asia and I know that certain BBC content is different here or even inaccessible.

I guess you're happy about point (b) then.

Heat!
I also like OP's no BS, straight up 'what? where? why?' info...every deal should be in that format :-D

​I'm looking for get a 4k TV for this time next year for the Xbox Scorpio. The choice and which would be best for that don't look as simple as this or that. I'm thinkin about the Samsung UE55KS7500 thoughts? The input lag on tht was is ment to be very short.

This is a great deal. I managed to get the only one in The Leicester Costco branch.
Still in the box until I sell my old plasma. I called LG customer services today and they told me that the TV has HDR10.
Has anyone had any experience wall mounting a curved OLED like this?

Also called Richer sounds and the same model they have at £1,499 are all open box or ex display.

After a bit of research it's the 2016 that support the universal ones. Sod's law.

Just say no - a curved TV on the wall looks so stupid and defeats the object of it being slim. It'll also look very dated when the fashion for these things passes.

Have you also noticed how distracting reflections are from a curved screen?

Is it true that sd content doesn't look that great on these TVs
My virgin box is mostly 1080i
And I do watch stuff of the ariel still

It looks great on my panny plasma at the minute
When I change I don't want to take a step backwards for most of my viewing

You've probably become accustomed to the de-interlacing artifacts, in the same way that we used to be accustomed to the shortcomings of cathode ray tubes. We never used to notice how they flicker. (I too have a plasma set btw - in those days they were much better than LCDs.)

In those days, or still :smiley:

If this is still available, Sky Q is free for 12 months on any LG OLED TV bought between 26th October 2016 and 28th March 2017.
Sky Q Deal

Normally, after a £99 set-up fee for new Sky Q Bundle subscribers (existing customers pay £50), you'll have £44 per month to pay for 12 months = £627; even with a decent 60% off sky deal, it would cost about at least £250.

People on here are stupid, I like to read about people's use of items I'm looking at buying, yet you're always bitching at each other and I've wasted my time just whip them out and get it over with.

I'm not a member, but would sign up if I could get one of these. Anyone know if they still have these at any of the London locations?

not a sniff in Croydon :disappointed:

sold out in Hayes branch :-(

I've been able to reserve one - but its a 2hr drive away. I've already got the Full HD version of this set (ec930) and have read some interesting reviews on Avforums. Is this set worth the hassle and is it the dogs nads (am getting sky q upgrade in january as was cheaper than keeping standard sky hd in the end!). Many Thanks

I've spoken to Costco after getting my set from the Leicester branch and they said that the sky Q offer is not valid on this set.
Also spoke to LG customer service who confirmed this.

Hia, what is the set like on upscaling sky hd etc? Any issues or doubts after buying it?

Oos in Hayes
