Plastic on the back removed too?
Yes. I removed 2 plastics. The one on the screen and the one on the back above the vents

Mine has/had this smell. It definitely gets better over time although if I sniff near the grills at the back I can still detect it. I just hope nobody through the window can see me sniffing my TV .

Yeah I bought mine a week and a half ago and it has zero smellJust curious if anyone has called LG re this?
My CX 77 was fine. Not even a slight whiff! All seems a bit strange this burning smell issue!
HiYes I have deep colour enabled, I think the info box does say if you have any issues with glitches or issues, to disable it but not seen any issues in the 2 months I have used it.
I don't think it makes any difference mind you when I tried switching it on and off, I am hoping the new Virgin 360 box has much better 4K UHD and HDR support and better picture quality though, I don't think the V6 is cutting it the picture looks a bit too soft on HD channels although could be normal.

My first 55CX smelled really strong and after a week it still smelled the same strength. I had that one replaced, due to the smell and a curved screen. The new CX is 100% smell free. But anyway like others have said, theirs got better after time. So hopefully yours will too.Ok, maybe just let it settle for a week?
The tv is in a small room so you can smell it more quickly. It is very strong smell though
Would be a shame to return the panel cause the picture is awesome! Let's hope the smell fades over time like yours.
I remember reading about your issues, now you have the new panel, I take it it looks alot different to your original one?

Yes the new TV looks all good, have it a few weeks now and no complaints so far. All working well withI remember reading about your issues, now you have the new panel, I take it it looks alot different to your original one? Not curved!
I am using a V6 box with my CX55 and have posted this information on another thread but could you see if it improves the picture performance for you.Hi
I have also noticed that the HD channels on the V6 to my 48"CX are slightly soft (BBC One News is the sometimes the exception) Sky movies HD are all slightly soft , have tested using my old Samsung 49"Q60 and the V6 is still soft on that as well. picture quality using my Amazon Fire stick is much better than the V6 not sure what or if Virginmedia have done anything lately but there are quite a few people on their forums complaining about picture quality and pixilation.

Probably not, but if it does I can get the difference refunded.So........ Is the lg 65cx going to go below £1700 tomorrow?
Looking at the thread at AVS, some are talking about needing to turn off GSR too.Bly Manor was the show which finally made me realise the CX has a problem with it’s auto-dimming of ‘static’ images feature. Dark scenes would dim to such a low level that it made them look AWFUL. My £7 service remote resolved this problem and the show became watchable. Still not a wow factor presentation but the faulty auto-dimming was making in unbearable for me. Even the missus noticed it!
Your what keeps playing up now?!Can everyone keep emailing/social media LG about lack of UK tv smart apps? My Xbox One Series X keeps playing up with All 4 so I need it
+1 to that, smelt bad for a week but gone now unless you sniff the back on the left hand side.Mine has/had this smell.

There's a post on AVS Forums from a 55CX owner back in March mentioning the smell when new so its been an issue since launch. Maybe its just the 55s affected.Some guys have said in the past it took a good 7-8 days if not a week or two for it to pass, worth airing out the room a bit and see if it improves, but you are certainly not alone if the smell does not go away after a good 2-3 weeks id consider returning it as a fault.

I literally only turned TPC off and it solved the dimming problems I was having. I’ve not noticed any other dimming problems personally. I guess it depends on your use.Looking at the thread at AVS, some are talking about needing to turn off GSR too.
Any truth in that for the CX, or was TPC all you changed?

I think I've discovered another bug which seems to have been introduced on this latest firmware to fix VRR. On series x if you boot up Call of Duty Cold War, quite often when you boot the multiplayer mode you get horrendous lag/stutter almost like huge fps drops. Simply switching on the secret menu on the LG remote using the green button resolved it OR returning to Xbox dash and straight back to game which leads me to believe it's a VRR bug introduced with this update. It was not happening prior to me updating to version 03.11.30. Has anyone else had this issue?
Sounds good. I’ve ordered a remote. For the sake of £7 it seems silly not to.I literally only turned TPC off and it solved the dimming problems I was having. I’ve not noticed any other dimming problems personally. I guess it depends on your use.
Anyone know of any retailers who are ok with quibble free returns? My retailer have been exceptional thus far but they have now lost patience with me. I got my replacement last Wednesday & it is not performing to anything like the level of quality that the last TV did. They brought out another on Tuesday this week & we compared both. They were both as poor as each other. Grey/too dark HDR especially in games. Colours way off etc. They’ve offered to either swap it for the 48” Sony or issue me a refund? Having just got an Xbox series X I’m reluctant to give up my 2.1 privileges. Thinking about trying a CX from another retailer. Anyone had any good experiences recently?
