Look at the pictures of the 7200 in that forum. Here's one. It's raised *above* the screen. In fact that alone has been a topic of much conversation.

EDIT:Ah, ok. Gotcha.

RE-EDIT: Clarified with boxorox87. The 6700/7600/8600 (probably 9600 too) bezels are actually under the facing glass like I said, unlike the 60LM7200. They might not work with the pressing as I said. See later posts.

Here you go....I am not sure of how many of the other models have the same style of frame/bezel.

This is quite a bit different from the 7200 though.

No, no, no, I might be right after all. I thought I was remembering those right (in person). You're showing the bottom bezel, not the entirety of it. When you display a full 16:9, the black outline (5/8" or so?) is the top and side bezel. It looks distinctly like it's *under* the glass.

You may be calling something else the "bezel". These models have what essentially is a wrapper around the screen(that is the bezel). It's about 1mm thick. There is also the 1cm border around the perimeter of the screen(the picture does not go right up to the 1mm bezel), I guess the 1cm border could also be considered a bezel. That is under the screen.

We're having a clash of colloquialisms. When measuring a TV bezel, the outer wrapper is part of the measurement (it's part of the chassis), but the bezel width is always measuring that facing border you talk about. I'm guessing our terminology clash stems from the models (and earlier days) where the facing bezel is/was part of the outer molding.

In any case, it seems I'm right in that that glass over the bezel (pick a different term if you like) will likely prevent you from pressing on it and moving the LCD array or edge lighting apparatus (which ever is causing this). We'll have to have someone [gently] try it and see if there is the same success that the guys with the bezels over-the-facing-glass have (the 60LM7200).

That's all been done. This is not an "AH HA" moment. There is play, or flex, but there is no snapping into place.


You did look at this link right?

Here's an example of the bezel terminology used correctly. I'll color the parts I mean.

The top and side bezels surrounding the screen are only around a centimetre in width, and the inch-thick lower bezel is finished in an attractive black satin plastic. LG’s small, central logo doesn’t light up when the television is turned on.

There *is* a snapping on the 7200. That was a significant "AH HA" moment discussed over there. Beats me how old a concept it is----the 7200 has only been out since, what, November or so? And I'm speculating that the play and/or flex is limited by the facing glass being over that "border" you're talking about. In any case, it's important for fans considering the non-7200 series to know that the 7200 flashlighting has been completely removed by owners. At least the ones who've tried it in the 7200 forum. The 7200 is new enough that many here might not even know it exists, let alone that there was a solution that seems to work. That's a BIG deal for many, and might well move folks over the the 7200 to try it out first.

Look none of this terminology matters. Keep your terminology if you like, I honestly don't care. Just be aware that when you see "bezel" referred to you are almost always going to see it include that border you refer to. Disagree if you like too. That's ok with me.

Let's call that border you're referring to the "thing", and let's pretend for the moment that it's a physical device under the facing glass, but over the lighting apparatus or LCD array. Either.

I'm speculating that that "thing" is preventing the glass from moving inward on the non-7200's.

I have to mention something by the way. Is anyone else relieved that LG didn't follow the lit-up-logo idea on this model? Some of the Vizio crowd have had significant discussion about how to undo that on the models that do that, many resorting to diving in to the chassis and getting medieval on it, and it's absolutely obnoxios.

Yes! In fact I was looking at a few other brands' models when I bought this LG and it literally came down the prominence of ugly/glowing/both logos.

If they still have it in the demos, I highly recommend checking out the Brazilian carnival parade demos, the videos were very cool.

Those are functions of Plex, if both questions are about Plex. As far as the 24p, go into Plex preferences, Videos>Player, and turn on "Adjust display refresh rate to match video".

If you pull up the TV info bar where it says 60hz normally, find a video that Plex says is 24p and play it, then pull up the TV info bar and it should say 24hz. Works for me anyway.

Sorry, I should specify that's me watching the video through Plex on my Mac Mini, not via the TV player. I've never tried that, my backup player is my LG HTIB which does a pretty decent job of playing videos too.

I have had a quick look through this forum and did a search and all I could find were some suggested settings in post 121 which I thought were not very complete as the author was attempting to get to know his set a little better.

Is there a post or a place to go to get some picture settings for the set that many of the members have used and enjoyed for the LG LM 7600 55 inch

DO NOT press on the screen or mess with screws holding the screen. I did on one of my sets and it became worse. My bleed was way worse than before. Pressing on the screen to clean it is enough to change the uniformity in my experience. That set got exchanged for other reasons. The new one I got was removed from the box and lifted by the edges. I haven't touched the screen ever. My set is pretty good as far as flash lighting and bleed. I learned my lesson and I won't touch this one. Do so at your own risk.

look on the back of tv and see the manufacture date, let us know what that is as well.
your pictures are quite small, any chance of bigger pics to examine?
from what i see, in the top right corner it looks like you have a big flashlight light bleed issue.
also indicate what settings you are using....turning off things like local dimming will make it worse. ...increasing backlight will also make it worse.
make sure you have energy saving turned off...try backlight at 50, local dimming, medium or high.

but if you cant get a decent picture without the bleed bothering you then take it back before your refund policy wears out.....ive seen way better panels out of the box...they do exist, and returning again and again is not uncommon to get a great one, keep trying as a great one is worth it.

if you take it back to get another, look at serial on box and try to get one with the first 3 numbers being 210, 211 or 212...these would be oct, nov, dec build dates respectively.

Every specimen is different, but people like these settings (even for the 55"):

Photos of 6700 which I returned....







Here are pictures of my new 7600 tv set




on my Sammy refrigerator




Ghost Protocol on Netflix




This is something I noticed when I removed the protective pads from the screen before installing tv stand....I didn't see this on 6700 tv...some sort assembly process?....its a pixel size...but not on viewing area though...so I don't have a problem...its on top left and top right corners



Let me know if your 7600 has similar spot on top corners...

Ok. I didnt remove mine too. Why you put youre tv on top of the fridge? I think that is very hard to watch because you always look up. The best recommendation is you should be watching tvs eye level. imo.

That thing looks sort of like an ambient light sensor I've seen on various devices. My phone, for instance, has a dinky "spot" under the glass that just senses the amount of room light when the brightness is set to variable.

A few software versions back it was hit and miss getting the light to go out it turned mine on and turning it off did nothing. Subsequent updates fixed it.
