LG 55EA8800 55" Flat OLED Owner's Thread
I wanted to start this thread for any other 8800 series owners out there. I have mine on order and should receive in a week or so. It's going above my fireplace in the living room, which is why I wanted the flat version. I'm upgrading from a Pioneer Pro-111FD that unfortunately has the reddish tint black level issue. I was able to get rid of it by adjusting the voltages(not resetting) in the service menu but not without some side effects. By doing that I was able to lower the black level down really low but not absolute black. Can't wait to see the absolute black and contrast of OLED. I calibrated that tv myself so when I calibrate this set I will post reports. The Kuro was easy to get almost perfect but I have a feeling this set will be more of a challenge. We'll see how this set compares with the Kuro.
