Official LG XXLM7600 Owners Thread... - Page 64

It's my first high-end LCD LED TV. I have local dimming turned off. I'll just live with it.

Weird, I don't have those 3. One is just 'ISF 1' and then 'ISF 2'. I don't have a Day/Night/3D option, unless there is some setting I am missing or custom firmware. I am using the latest firmware available.

That upper left corner is noticable but I've seen much worse. It is concentrated on the upper edge but is diffused enough elsewhere to where I'd simply live with it. Have you tried massaging it out? At the point furthest from the corner that the light blooming stretches to, lightly grip the TV's bezel with thumb in front and fingers on the back and run your hand linearly toward the corner of the set. Vary your pressure and see if it shrinks the size of the bloom. I don't know why this works but I believe it helps out a little bit. Won't get rid of it, but seems to reduce it.

I say this because I never had a light "bloom", I've got minimal edge lighting similar to what you've got in your upper edge, right side corner. But the other day I noticed I had a "light cloud" in the upper left hand corner. I used the massage technique and it made it smaller. Now I look for it and inexplicably sometimes it's there and other times it's not.

BTW, a really good way to see the extent of the light bleed is to put the TV's input on something that is not being used and go to the Apps menu. When you examine the smaller, TV inset in the upper left hand corner you can really see the amount of light blooming and edge lighting. I do this by putting the input on the HDMI input connected to my kids PS3 with the PS3 turned off.

I hired a Professional calibrator to calibrate my set. He is the one who activate those calibrayed settings and locked it.

Is there a reason you have local dimming turned off for this particular TV?

friend you know how configuration d Day/Night/3D? activate
downgrad THX, na linha LM esta muito dificil!

For the life of me I cannot get my 7600 to update to a engineer version so that I can DTS passthrough working. I have the RCA remote. I've enabled engineer NSU mode. Any ideas?

I have LED dimming turned on just because it turns down the little bit of bleed at the top.

It also makes blacks a little blacker if you look closely. Low sometimes fools people that is it isn't doing anything. It takes a moment for it to be seen. It does reduce bleed, and actually shadows are better. For me more is not better however, I don't like what med or high does.

I have done pretty exhaustive searching and can't find anyone mentioning this problem, so I'll see if anyone can help me. I just bought my LG 55LM7600 last night and am absolutely loving it. The only problem I'm having is I lost the ability to change "audio language" when watching video files streamed from my server after upgrading the firmware. I believe out-of-the-box my TV had Ver.04.03.07 (I'm not 100% sure about that but it is close) and after upgrading to Ver.04.20.18 the menu option to change "audio language" is always grayed-out for files it previously was not that I know have multiple audio tracks (and like I said, out-of-the-box language selection was working and nothing else changed that I know of except for downloading/installing the new TV firmware).

If anyone has had a similar experience or if anyone could offer any assistance, I would be very grateful! Also, does anyone know if LG has a bug tracker for their Smart TV firmware so I could at least report the issue? Emailing the first level of customer service about this just doesn't seem like it will get the issue to the eyes that need to see it haha.

My tv also had an update today and the same thing happened to me, unfortunately i have no idea what happened or how i fix it so i'll just wait if anyone can figure out some way to fix this.

Did some other audio setting change perhaps that doesn't now see sub audio tracks? I would try going to the sound setting and toggle or change the settings especially the PCM/auto setting.

Hello all. Long time, no post.

I recently received a 55LM7600 from Amazon when they were running their $1299 deal. It replaced my 12 year old Toshiba 50" HD rear projection. Well, I'm having second thoughts about keeping it. It seems to suffer from bleeding at the top. From what I have read, the LGs (and most other edge lit sets) suffer from this. My question is.. would you send this back and get another, live with it, or just get a plasma? I can see the bleeding in dark scenes and in and menus with gray on the top. Most shows look great.

The bleeding in the image below is slightly exaggerated due to the camera taking in a bit more light than it should.



What do you think? Thanks.

EDIT: This is with the Cnet calibration settings. I received the set this morning.

Ridicolous.

I'd return it.

LG tech came over today to "fix" my TV. Looked at it and told my wife that he would have to replace the board in it. Of course the board had to be ordered even though LG told me on the phone last week that they were ordering the part. Now we have to wait till Monday to see if this can be remedied. What happens if they can't fix? Do they get you a new one or refund your money?

Last night I tried going through all the audio settings that I could find and toggled them, but no combination of changing/toggling the settings gave me audio language selection back. I really think this is just something they screwed up in the latest firmware (or some version between what I originally had on my TV and the latest version).

Unfortunately it does seem so.

Well, I just sent an email to LG Customer Support saying I think I found a bug relating to Audio Language selection and asking them to forward it to their engineering team. We'll just have to see what kind of response I get.

Picked up my 47 inch yesterday via Amazon price match at a nearby Best Buy. I have relatively minor bleed compared to many of the photos posted. Have not calibrated any settings beyong doing it by eye, but putting local dimming on high gets rids of the worst of my bleed in the uper left hand corner. Tv is currently doing the software update.

Trying to use the built in YouTube app froze the tv up & I had to turn it off to get it working again. I have a 20mbps fiber optic connection to which the tv wirelessly connected easily; is this typical? Do any of the other web apps function?

Also, I haven't checked out any of my digitized VHS files yet, but the relatively low res dvd rips look fine. Had to screw around with the setting for a while to make OTA look tolerable; everything initially looked like a cheap soap opera, no depth of field, badly and overlit, etc. but it all looks good now. And I like being able to lable the various HDMI ports for what they're connected to. And I'm finding the magic remote much easier to deal with than I'd feared; my LG vhs/dvd player/burner remote controls the basics (on/off, volume, channel, input) and Hippo Lite on my iPhone 4s covers all my needs in regard to the laptop functionality.

Hi,

I just picked up the 47LM7600 a day a few days ago and it looks really good.

Do you guys find that the apps load realy slow? Even pulling video and pics from my pc take a long time to load and youtube only run for line 3 seconds before it has to load more data.

Do you think stepping up to the dual core 8600 would make the apps run faster?

Thanks,

This has been a problem for me as well. When you go to Settings => Network Connection => Expert setup (go through the setup manually), once it connects, how many bars do you get on the little antenna icon?

I was getting anywhere from 1 to 3 bars, but not solid on 3 bars. As an experiment I moved the router a bit closer to the TV and away from some metal objects that could have been interfering and all was good. Apps worked fine, no freezing on YouTube or 3D World vids. You can also get a relative network speed test within VuDu. I'm going to permanently move the router this weekend.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the upconverter worked on lo-def material. I love the magic remote. I can't imagine going back to up arrow, right arrow, right arrow, down arrow, etc. to navigate a traditional TV menu. I changed the icon to a small cross-hair. Agree that labeling the inputs is a nice touch by LG.

I recently changed my settings quite a bit. I used to turn the backlight down (45 or so) and have the brightness up (around 60 or so). I thought this was helping the flashlighting because it reduced backlight levels and the high brightness would wash out the blacks, causing the flashlighting to blend in.

I now have my backlight at around 60 and my brightness at 57. I'm not sure about your sets, but my set shows a dramatic difference between brightness levels of 57 and 58. The same difference is not seen when going from 56>57 or 58>59. 57 seems to be a real sweet spot. I use brightness of 57, backlight of 60, and contrast around 85, and my flashlighting has been minimized in a way that I had not experienced before. I also have local dimming on low and black levels on low. The set looks fantastic.

Has anyone played around with the auto backlight adjuster / ambient light sensor much (found under energy saving)? Not the intelligent sensor picture mode, which adjusts quite a bit of stuff. I really enjoyed the ambient light sensor on an older Samsung TV of mine that I thought really nailed the backlight setting with minimal effort. That said, some of the settings for LG's flavor of it leave me scratching my head and I had some questions.

Sensing strength has me pretty confused. Any ideas on what effect this would have? I'll have to play around later when I get more time, but I'd love to hear any thoughts on it.

As for Minimum Luminance, this seems more straight forward, and I'm assuming this sets a "floor" or hard limit for how low the backlight can be set by the sensor. I wonder if this directly corresponds to the manual backlight setting. So if I didn't want the backlight being automatically adjusted below, say, 35, I'd set this to 35? Seems plausible.

Anyways, any thoughts would appreciated!

The first setting sets the lowest you want the brightness even in the darkest of conditions. The second setting is how much you want it to vary from the first setting in increased brightness based on lighting conditions. (Exactly the description - makes a range of brightness)

These work with more control than the preset settings still available.

Did you go to menu, settings, Option, language and try toggling that?

Do any of you use simplink with a ps3? I set it up and I'm able to turn the ps3 on with the tv remote, which is great. It doesn't seem to do anything but let you use the arrows to navigate the menu, though. I am able to turn the ps3 on and competently browse my attached hard drive, serviio media server, and netflix interface, as well as play/pause, etc. I can't seem to exit things ot turn the ps3 off, though. Being able to turn it on is very nice, though.

So I have something of a silly but frustrating question. I recently bought the 47 lm7600 from Amazon Warehouse as a "like new" item and all today it's been totally true to the description. It's a really great set.

The only problem is, though, that whoever had it previously decided to set the TV Lock to ON and set a password. I've been searching for awhile on a way to reset the password but can't seem to find one "0000" and "7777" do nothing.

Does anyone know how I could get around this or how to reset the TV and get rid of this annoying password? It has everything but TV-G blocked, and since I'm not a child that's more than a little troublesome.

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: And almost a few minutes later I find it. 0325 is the master. Thanks anyways!

Hey did anyone who has an nvidia card, play games in 3d using the zalman edid override to get interleaved 1080p?

Can someone post instructions?

What's the best method to stream a network connected hard drive to the TV?

I'm planning on selling my PS3 so that I can solely use the Smart TV functions for Netflix, but then I realized that the PS3 allowed me to also stream from networked drives and computers. Do I have that option with the TV?

Additionally, is it just me, or does the video quality on Netflix look much higher resolution when being played from the PS3 instead of the native app?

The only reprieve that the native TV Netflix app gets is that by keeping the input directly on the television, I don't lose the soap opera effect. When I change it to my PS3 input, the TV automatically switches to game mode (I'm assuming this is what is happening) and I get 60hz again. I specifically want to keep the higher hz.
