Just bought mine 55B6T so far so good

Some initial observations.

There are some improvements compared to the 2016 LG OLED in areas that have been already touched upon by the international reviews.

Near black handling is clearly better. While I am still not sure if it is higher than 8 bits in the low end, the improvement compared to 2016 is there. This helps noisy dark areas better. I do see posterization from time to time, but its in content that is streaming, hence its hard to understand if they are bit starved.

The set is still new and needs to settle down a bit. I believe it has to undergo its 1st compensation cycle before I can judge further.

I do see that the Dynamic handling of HDR does allow to resolve higher than 1000nits (sometimes I see even up to 4000nits) but depending on the APL (with this being test patterns) the impact on the overall brightness is there.

For SDR, the brightness/contrast seems to be spot on at default which is a good indication that LG understands this very well.

I hope to jot down further observations when I calibrate it this week.

Also looking forward to calibrating Dolby Vision soon.

The UHD/HDR/DV feeds in Netflix do hv peak data streaming of about 15-20Mbps. I hv not seen any really coming close to 25Mpbs that Netflix requires for UHD, but then again, I hv not really viewed the whole movies yet.

The only difference is the soundbar from SH8 to SJ8. RM9800 is about right and if it makes a difference the 2017 sets hv free 3 months Netflix UHD access. RM7777 is an extremely good price. What's the going rate for 65C7 I wonder?

Yes. I hv the side banner in webOS and when u click it requires ur login and password and 3 months free Netflix is credited.

Can't help u on the sound bar claiming as the application was done by the seller for me. However, LG called me about 3 weeks after submission and the delivered via PosLaju. It took about 1 month from purchase to arrive.

Not sure if this is trustable or not

I thought the price shown is good even with lower spec soundbar. What's the going rate now with SJ8 soundbar?

RM8.7k is a very good price, with or without soundbar.

old news https://www.lowyat.net/2017/137298/lg-launc...etails-rm44999/

B7 is basically a C7 with a different stand. Both TVs are 9999 anyways. Nothing new on that one.
If it's brand new, 16k is a great price. I bought mine at 19k just 4 months+ ago.

16k brand new at lg booth at pwtc with the free soundbar redemption thingy , supposingly worth rm2999 rrp. Seems like 65inch prices are dropping, just thinking if will drop further for year end sales

My home broadband connection got upgraded to 100mbps

Able to stream YouTube 4K via my PC, using a 5GHz 802.11n connection.

However, the YouTube app in my E6 is still restricted only to 1080p despite using a gigabit ethernet connection.

2017 OLED model owners all can stream YouTube 4K right?

I am connected using gigabit ethernet cable direct from my TV to my router

I will take a photo of the Stats For Nerds from YouTube later and poast it here

eMart Nusa Bestari, JB. Promo till end of this month if you wanna redeem the free SJ8.

Hi May i know is this model supports to upscale SDR to HDR?

http://www.11street.my/productdetail/lg-49...-panel-21790070

Sorry for the confusing.
Yup what i mean is the function like below


Contrast booster for HDR-like viewing
LG's HDR Effect uses unique image processing that transforms standard dynamic range content to emulate HDR quality by boosting the contrast for an HDR-like viewing experience.

Is that possible for that model in the link i provide previously?

Are you sure ?

I had check this with senheng guys like 2 times on this. They said the promotion is over, this is why i cancel purchase with senheng and go with lazada instead

100% sure. Call the LG hotline to confirm this tomorrow.

Becareful on updating firmware. Not because it bricks anything, but LG's firmware team has been so inconsistent that more often than not, they take 1 step forward and then 2 steps backward.

Example; they have f**ked up Game mode so many times now on the 6 series and 7 series, I've lost count.

Better research on what has changed first before updating.

New firmware is out.
