Do you know if it is still going on? Are people still getting it? How much technical knowledge do you have regarding why some ZA owners got it and others didn't? Is it a compatibility issue or a LG economic rational issue?I did. Happy Christmas x
Can I ask what this is? Not sure what ZD or ZA is?
I've been trying to look for any old emails I received from LG and have found this one. It mentions the information that they need before they arrange the upgrade. How this helps;
Good Afternoon Mr. *****,
Thank you for your email regarding your 55EG960V.
I hope you are enjoying your day, thank you for contacting us and I would be more than happy to assist you with this.
With regards to the HDR upgrade you have seen referenced on AV Forums, I would advise that this is something we are now able to look into for some customers. This is being looked into on a case by case basis, so to enable us to look into the possibility of assisting you with the HDR upgrade I will require the following information:
full product code
serial number
retailer
date of purchase
Upon receiving this information I would be able to advise further on whether we can arrange this for you, and if this is something that we are able to assist you with, I will be able to make the necessary arrangements and confirm the process for this.
Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to get back in touch and I will be happy to help. If you need to reply please click the additional questions link below.
Kind regards

And then after a week or so I enquired about when I would get my set back. This is the reply from LG (the 0800 repair they refer to is the currier that collected my set).
Hi David,
Thank you for your email.
I would be more than happy to assist you with your LG 55EG960V television.
I have checked your file and looked into this for yourself David and I can see that your televiison was sent by 0800 repair on 15/03/2016. I would have thought you would have received a call from 0800 repair by now but I cannot be sure why this is the case.
I would personally recommend speaking to them directly to work out a date and time this is likely to be delivered to yourself and see if they are able to offer you preferable dates for delivery. The number should you not have it is: 0800 737247.
I hope this e-mail has fully answered your query today David and has helped to point you in the right direction to further get this situation resolved for yourself. If there is any further support I can offer yourself then please do let me know and I will be happy to help in any way that I can, you can reply to this email by clicking the additional questions link above the survey.
I hope you are happy with the service I have personally provided, if you are, please take the time to fill out a short survey at the bottom of this email. It is based solely on my efforts for you. I appreciate all feedback given!
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Liam

0800? Is that a repair company that did the work on behalf of LG? Did it go to LG themselves?
As I said, 0800 Repair are a courier company (no, I've never heard of them before) who pick the set up and take it to LG for the upgrade. I've also heard of people getting the upgrade done in their homes.
Anyway, what is it you want to find out? That LG should do the upgrade in North America?
Absolutely. Of course. This is our goal. We need compounding evidence
Where are you and are LG refusing to do the upgrade?
I'm I Canada.
Yes. In a few indirect and unverifiable rumours, we have been told that LG will not and possibly cannot upgrade the eg9600 ua. I've been told through the LG usa site on the review and answer page by a web csr that it can't be done. But without technical reasoning.
Hello, since lg say that my Middle East model can't be upgrade and is not compatible, I order one zd board from Spain and I installed it myself, even zd have more connections than my original one, the zd works perfect and I had now HDR in the 3 hdmi.
