I have a LG B6 OLED tv and am wondering if other TV owners have had their set professionally calibrated?

While watching The Force Awakens on Bluray yesterday, I keep getting distracted by the grainy picture quality. It's not noticeable in every scene but it does get annoyingly distracting. I'm not sure if the issue is with my TV settings, or the fact that I'm playing it off a PS4 Pro, or my expectations were too high.

Seeking advice from folks if there's any way to reduce the grain.

Sorry I didn't have access to my to for some time, but will snap a pic as soon as I can. I did however managed to do some comparisons since my initial post.

Bro, what kind of grainy picture you are noticing? Can snap some photos for us to view them?
I'm also keen on the LG B6 OLED, but, recently, Sony has came out with Edge Local Dimming X93E/94E LED and reviews very promising.

Too bad, this Sony FALD X900E not available in Malaysia.

I can see the grainy "dots" in darker scenes, to the point where I felt was distracting. It does clear up on brighter scenes. What TV did you end up getting?

Doesn't sound right, take a pic please.

I watched TFA last month on the E6, while the movie is inherently a little bit grainy since it was shot on film, but it was never distracting.

Also, how many hours have you logged on your B6? All OLEDs need at least around 250+ hours before the panel can really settle down. Yes, this is similar to the plasma TV days, where anything before 200 hours were pointless to judge.

I think I barely have 100 hours on it. Didn't know about LED settling, sounds similar to headphone burn in time.

Anyway to do a comparison I also streamed TFA in 1080p and I did not notice the film grain as much in similar scenes as opposed to playing it off the blu-ray on my PS4 Pro, which sounds crazy to me. Using the scenes with stormtroopers under flickering lights and BB8's first appearance near the start of the movie as reference. Will snap comparison pics and share here.

I calibrated my E6 following AVForums.com's reccomendations and then manually tweak from there.

You may want to check their reccommended B6 settings at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXwFi3E1K0g and see how it goes.

Also, The Force Awakens naturally has grain anyway cos it was shot on film, not digital.

Try testing with fully digital titles (i.e. the Hobbit Trilogy, Star Wars Episode II and III, any CGI cartoons from Disney or Dreamworks) and see if you see similar issues? Such titles would not have grain.

Thanks for the tip. Will get Moana and report back.
