Thank you for your short review. It is great to hear that it upscales very well, that is one of my concerns.

What is the source you are upscaling from? Satellite, cable TV? And are you referring to just 1080, or is 720 also upscaling very well?

I don't know if I have any 720 sources. For now these are my 1080 sources that I have hooked up:

1. Directv HR54 Genie box.
2. Apple TV 4, Resolution set to Auto, which means it's usually going out as 1080p HD 60Hz.

My LG G6 really seems to love the Apple TV box.

I need to do some more definitive direct comparisons, like pairing a 4K source from one of the G6 apps with the same material from the Apple TV. Like Daredevil. Apple TV and the G6 both have Netflix apps. But I need to make sure I have everything set the same. You can customize the picture settings for each of the HDMI inputs.

Trouble is I have to give up watching great content to focus on testing. I've started watching Game of Thrones again. It's like a whole new show to me, seeing it with the G6's picture quality. Even scaled up from 1080.

And the second time through, you know the story, and you can see all the detailed ways they foreshadow the plot.

My LG G6 really seems to love the Apple TV box.

Conclusion

Thanks to LG’s near-exclusive (actually, in the US market, exclusive) use of OLED technology in TVs, and the fact that the company has either rectified or significantly improved all of the issues that we found with previous iterations, we feel that the 2016 LG OLEDs are the televisions to beat this year. No longer marred by off-hue dark scene color reproduction, severe screen uniformity errors or sluggish interactive response, LG have set new standards for themselves in 2016.

That’s not to say there isn’t room for further improvement, of course. We’d still like to see uniformity get that little bit better, and for off-axis viewing to be free of color tints. We’d also love to see further improvements to the inner workings of the calibration to controls to allow us to fine-tune gamma/ EOTF without introducing banding artefacts. However, with the OLED65G6P, the South Korean brand is sure to finally win over video enthusiast users who’re still holding on to their last-generation plasmas.

We don’t want to draw any conclusions as to how accurately the G6 handles HDR (high dynamic range) content: as with any nascent technology, it’s very hard for us to assess this due to a lack of an easily available definitive references. What we can say is that the images we saw played from the first handful of HDR UHD Blu-ray Discs looked excellent, and should mitigate any concerns that OLED’s capped peak luminance damages its HDR potential.
Likewise, gamers will be delighted to hear of the 34ms input lag figure, which by our measurements is the fastest achieved by a consumer OLED TV. It’s better than LG’s previous attempts, and is considerably better than the 74ms exhibited by Panasonic’s otherwise excellent European CZ950/CZ952 model.

It looks like there are some good times ahead: after years of flawed OLED implementations and a market full of LED LCD products, critical video users who demand self-emissive displays finally have something to look forward to. All that’s left is for other manufacturers to hopefully jump into the OLED category and bring their own expertise and competition to this promising technology, which we hope will happen sooner rather than later.

What did you mean by this? (Just curious as I have an Apple TV)

I just mean the LG G6 upscales the Apple TV's output to 4K extremely well. To say just how well, to say how it does when compared to the same material that's native 4K, I'll have to do some deeper testing first.

But it's good enough to be completely satisfying. I'm not left with any subjective desire to make it better somehow.

I love this new TV. I haven't had so much enjoyment from a new gadget in years.

Eh, that review was disappointing. Maybe because they were being very critical of the unit, but he was finding some sort of fault in most areas. And being able to see a greenish tint from off-axis viewing is something that bothers and surprises me. One of the reasons I went with OLED is so there are no off-axis differences in viewing the TV.

Kind of surprised with the review, with all the high marks I've read so far from owner impressions.

Agreed. It's not that positive but still gets 'best in class'

Yes, there are still issues, but David Mackenzie's first paragraph in his CONCLUSION has me smiling:

I think Dave McKenzie may have got a bit overexcited by LG's hospitality and generousity with the set to be honest. Want to see other reviews

The LG OLEDs have always shown a slight tint alteration on off-angle viewing (doesn't bother me in the least on the EF9500). It could very well be due to the 3D filter, and you should perhaps wait to see if the B6 is similarly afflicted.

I've run a few tests now out of the box unaltered. First few slides are cinema mode with a 2.2 gamma.

Following slides are isf dark room with 2.4 gamma.

Uniformity so far looks great, I'm gonna tweak 2 point to see if I can improve a little bit on the accuracy of my isf settings.

Interestingly, both settings use standard color, but cinema covers 99.9% of rec 709 while isf covers 111%...

Dammit, the new 2016 sets still have the cursed motion resolution as the 2015 sets........ I was hoping at least a little bump up in that department.......

What gave you the impression it would be improved (it hasn't since they launched it in 2013)? LG has made no claims of future improvement. The refresh rate needs to be doubled and/or an impulse mode or frame insertion mode added if this is ever to happen. They only seem to care about maximizing brightness and not even giving the user the option of a sacrifice in such for better motion rez.

How's the tv in general ?how were your slides ..thanks for the updates also..

Count me in on not being bothered. I've stood at some pretty extreme angles with the EF9500, and it still looks pretty great to me, color wise.

I'd argue that, even with a slight color shift if you do notice it, it's far more watchable than say, a FALD LED, because of the strong bloom off axis, not to mention the wash out.

can you check wide color/Dci mode? Would love to see how It measures against dci and rec2020 targets, and especially whether the hue lines in dci mode follow Dci target instead of rec709 like ef9500 does

Would you agree that gone are the days where calibrators needed to know certain tricks in order to properly calibrate a LG OLED? Since the CMS was borked?
Should someone who knows how to properly calibrate a Plasma/LED TV be able to work on a 2016 OLED TV? Without ever having worked on an OLED before?

Ok, as long as it's something that's not really noticeable. The way the review sounds like it is an obvious tint. But if it is much less than what you would see with washout from an LCD then I don't see it being a problem as I have a projection TV and that is similar to what an LCD
