I actually got a prompt on my TV back on Sunday, July 14th, to update to the new firmware 05.80.35, but I cancelled it because I wanted to check what this firmware was all about first.

The next day, I checked this thread, saw that 05.80.35 was first mentioned on July 10th and it was just a security update (as far as we know). I checked General > About This TV and saw a note under Software Version that said that I could update to 05.80.35 (as expected), but I didn't do it right then because I wanted to watch stuff.

Completely forgot about it until today, July 19th, and decided to update, but the note under Software Version was gone. I clicked on "Check for updates", but it said, "No updates found". What?

Not sure what's going on. I'm in Canada, if that matters at all. I guess I'll just wait to be prompted again, if ever, or if somebody discovers something most excellent about the new firmware, I'll download it from the Korean site and install it via USB.

I got the 05.80.35 prompt today when I turned on my C7...I clicked 'No' so I can come on here first and check if it's worth updating to...what exactly is the security issue that required this firmware?...good to see LG still supporting the 2017 models with new firmware

I got the prompt as well. I read here it changed the DV version. Not sure how that or if it changes a professionally calibrated set that used his own DV file. I'll edit this when I find the post for you.

No - will not change the calibration settings - had mine calibrated at Value Electronics when purchased 10/17 and no updates will change your settings.

Yes, go in the general settings and turn on CEC. But be prepared to experience strange Hand shaking issues at random times. When ever I am finished with the internal ARC apps I go back to the Anthems menu and turn it off.

"After doing nothing about this for a long time, I decided to follow some of the advice on the LG Community website from other people experiencing the same problem: I removed the back cover, disconnected and reconnected the wireless module (both ends of the cable), and then put everything back together again. Wifi and bluetooth instantly started working again just fine! No more magic remote problems, no more "Unknown device is disconnected" message popping up. It's still early days, but I'm hopeful this "fix" will last a while."

TV: OLED65B7A

Does anyone have a diagram of the back of the tv? which one is the wireless module?

I was flipping through the Dolby vision pictures settings and noticed something. Have we always had “game” mode for Dolby vision.

Neither Xbox One or PS4 output HDR in Dolby Vision for games anyway. Not sure how useful it is.

What you guys recommend for WebOS performance and glitch issues. My C7 has been running great since May 17, but in the past few weeks the software has been glitching like crazy. I get "unknown device is disconnected" popups constantly until I reboot sometimes. The menu, which used to fly, is now sluggish sometimes. The back and pause buttons sometimes stop working in Netflix until I reboot.

I'm on software version 05.80.15

Cleveland, I bought my set using one of my Chase cards (don't remember which right now) + BB gift cards in about Feb 2018. I also got an email from LG to do a 3 year warranty and it was less than $100 if I remember correctly so I bought that. My set has extreme banding when I'm watching Cable TV and banding (not as bad) when I'm watching FTV/Roku. I have started watching Netflix and Amazon straight through the TV instead now and haven't noticed it as much. Anyway, should I file a claim and if my warranty is through LG would they be more likely to try to fix it or do as you mentioned and cut a check? Also, what's this whole "lottery" I keep reading on here? Are people saying some panels work and some don't?

I got the 05.80.35 update...I wonder if Dolby Vision has improved..

[05.80.35]
1. To Improve color issues at HDMI 2160p 50Hz input

Folks,
Isn't 50hz for Europe? I thought the US was 60hz??

US sets were still affected when watching some content with matched refresh rate like The Grand Tour on Amazon, which is 50hz.

LG OLED 65” C7 Calibration ( OLED65C7P ) FW: 05.80.15 - ( CALIBRATION REV. Easter 2019 )

HAPPY EASTER!

The settings below are ALL NEW and vary from slight updates to more than slight.

At this point, I'm thinking that our 7 series OLEDS are probably approaching 3,000 to over 4,000 hours of viewing time. My C7 has 4,000+ hours on it, and is our everyday workhorse. Recently, I noticed that blue had fallen off, so I decided to fully recalibrate SDR - [technicolor Expert], Dolby Vision - [Cinema (User)], and slightly updated HDR10/HLG [technicolor Expert].
Here are the new settings in all their glory. They may help "resurrect" the picture quality of your 7 series. ( Sorry for the Easter themed play on words ).

Dolby Vision notes: This new "Easter '19" Dolby Vision calibration looks the best so far. There is better lower and mid-range luminance performance which further helps with eliminating the “darker” look of the “Cinema (User)” picture mode, while still providing all those spectral highlights. The colors look much more natural now as well.

The Calman “DV custom" workflow allows the calibrator to create a special file just for 2017 LG OLED’s, which is saved to a thumb drive and then loaded into the TV. Spectracal, Dolby, and LG worked very closely together to create this awesome workflow.

NOTE: Below, I have written a quick "how to" with instructions for making your own DV calibration file. This way you can install without needing to PM me for the file. Over the last several months, I have received literally 100's of requests for this file, and it has become a bit too much to manage and also juggle things with my day job. So, if you are somewhat computer savvy and know how to create a plain text file, you should not have any problems cooking your own DV calibration file. If you still need me to send the new file, feel free to PM me with your email address, and I will send it off. Just trying to lighten the load a bit.

PERSONAL OBSERVATION: I am really enjoying the new settings. The thing that strikes me the most is how SDR almost takes on the characteristics of HDR.

BASIC SETTINGS:
OLED LIGHT: 85 (Default: 100) -- This setting will vary depending what nit levels the content was mastered as well as room brightness. There’s not really a way to know the mastered nit levels of any given title without a Lumagen which can read the metadata. So this is really a “how does it look to you” kind of thing. The 85 setting seems to be a “happy" medium, but there's also eye comfort levels to consider.

THE DOLBY VISION CALIBRATION FILE

1) Create a plain text file and name it as follows WITHOUT the "quotes":

"DolbyVision_UserDisplayConfiguration.txt"

2) Copy the following and paste into the newly created text file. Be certain to REMOVE the "quotes":

"# Dolby Vision User Display Configuration File
# Generated by 5.9.2.59 on 3/19/2019
# Display: Unspecified
# DM Version:

Tmin = 1E-11
Tgamma = 2.2

3) Save and copy the file to a blank thumb drive that has been formatted as "FAT32".

4) To install, start by playing Dolby Vision content on the TV, and ( IMPORTANT ) set the picture mode to “Cinema” and NOT "Cinema (Home)”.
Next, plug in the thumb drive into USB port on the side of the TV. (Make certain that there is nothing on the thumb drive but that file. No folders, etc.) You may have to go into the Photos & Video prompt, and then close ( X ) it out in order for the TV to recognize the DV calibration file. In fact, I finally yanked out the stick - plugged it back in - and then finally got the prompt from the TV. If you still have problems getting the TV to recognize the file, you might try power cycling the TV. Finally, several of our other members told me that they had good results after formatting the thumb drive as a FAT32 Master Boot Record.

Once the TV recognizes the file, you will be asked if you would like to install it. Answer "Yes" and less than a second later ( it's a very small < 1K ) the file is loaded.

The TV will then respond that the next time you load Dolby Vision content, it will load the new settings. And you are done.

Eject the thumb drive and enjoy.

HDR10 Settings
HDR-10 Picture Mode: technicolor Expert

I might have noticed one small change - in the General options I was able to turn off the wallpaper images that appear when there's no HDMI signal. Not a spectacular feature but I hadn't noticed it before.

Also I had previously turned DV Cinema Home OLED backlight to 35 as brights were too bright to me. Not sure if something has changed but now I find it looks better at 50. Could be difference in content, though. Watching Stranger Things 3 and Black Mirror on Netflix.

The Xbox actually does, with the Netflix App.

Hey thanks for the settings everything looks great

Quick question. I like using BT.1886 Gamma but when I switch to it the colors seem to get oversaturated and the skin tones don't look as natural. Do you recommend changing any settings if I were to use the BT.1886 gamma setting? Thanks.

I thought Cinema (User) should be used for both DV and HDR?
