Hi all B6 owners. I'm looking to make the plunge and have been wading through some of the comments/reviews.
I thought the best way might just be to get a straw poll of anyone who may have had the B6 to see if you were happy with your choice still, or whether you had regrets, wish you'd returned it, or perhaps spent a little more on something else, or waited even?
I'm probably one of a minority but after all the mither I had getting my hands on a B6 I wasn't impressed with it in the end and sent it back Yes the blacks and contrast are truly amazing and the colours really pop but I just couldn't put up with the ABL and the fact it makes whites look a dull grey, almost green. Yeah things looked great on dark scenes but put something on the screen that had a lot of white or light colours and it just looked awful compared to an LCD. Am I the only one that thinks this?

I own a 78KS9500 - a proper light cannon. And a 65B6. If I set OLED to 100 and 95 contrast I get more than enough brightness for our room. I do agree bright scenes can be lacking though, especially when you have that disconnect between bright highlights and muted full screen whites. The KS9500 is leagues ahead however but the difference is huge - 720nits on full white vs about 150 for the OLED. Like you say anything around 50% APL or under and the image looks amazing on OLED, even more so on dark scenes.
Despite this I feel LCD is dated technology, the backlight brings so many problems that I can't bring myself to recommend anyone get one in light of OLED. Despite its short comings its the best choice for videophiles.
I notice some people on here are serial TV returners. A few names pop up regularly and they're usually the most vocal so they tend to stand out. Truth is they wouldn't be happy with any TV available because perfection doesn't exist. What I notice is they wear themselves out with all the swapping and eventually just settle on a particular model proclaiming it to be the greatest thing since crotchless undies.
had my 65b6 for few months and loving it, before i had tried 2 65xd9305 's just had issues after issue so just went for the oled and loving it watching at night is a pleasure with pure blacks and also how i view at times the viewing angles are amazing
I'd marry it, if I could. The positives far outweigh the negatives.
As the above post says, being able to watch a movie at night with the lights out, and not have blacks turn grey, is immensely satisfying. I've returned to a lot of movies that were so dark, that it annoyed me to watch at night time previously, and everything's now hunky dory.
Screen: great. Colours: great. Blacks: unbelievable. Irregular judder, dropped frames and truemotion settings that make things worse: unforgivable. Will be the last LG I buy. Swapped mine for an E6, which is better, but disappointing at this price point.
My B6 is not perfect, fed with sky Q recording of broadchurch was truly terrible on movement, people had like a wave around them when ever they moved.
Otherwise this tv still blows me away with blu-rays, grand tour 4K,F1 UHD.
It all depends on what you feed it with, and letting it settle down for a few weeks when it's new, changing out the box glare which gave me eye strain.
Just voted. Overwhelmingly good in some areas, particularly with bluray. Motion handling can't be rated as anything more than average, particularly with 60hz US broadcast material via sky. Apps are well integrated and easy to use. Even the sound is excellent considering the slimness of the panel, once you've messed around with the settings. Overall I've ended up noticing the set a lot more than I did with my old Pioneer 4280 for both good and bad reasons. For the money paid I'd have liked to have less irritations, but there's no such thing as perfection out there. The more you pay the higher your expectations are, and the more sensitive you are then to the imperfections.
By far the best TV I have ever had, and even took the plunge and had it calibrated which now brings out it's full potential. Sky Q picture is great, Blu-ray excellent, and 4k Blu-ray stunning.
I've had mine only a few days. I haven't been blown away by it. I have experienced several welcomed scenarios, including those mentioned above as well as instances never before noticed on other TVs I've owned. This is an upgrade for an ES8000. I stuck with 55" due to space restrictions. I've sampled some Dolby vision through Netflix and the same program on the Xbox reproduced in HDR only. I couldn't watch it due to stuttering. Ive read this has been cured on blu ray. Is it not so on other formats? How does on Oled produce halos? I read this was impossible. Unless what I call a halo is not the correct technical term. Lukas Cage has many revolving grains in the image. I couldn't really see the 4K clarity. It's early days so I'll see if it improves. Contemplating a professional calibration and wall mounting it reluctant to do so at the moment. I find many feeds too dark and if the contrast is increased I lose the better image. Does anyone know how much a professional calibration will set me back? Initially i was thinking £150 but now I'm more on course for £300. THank you
