Hi Guys,
Thought Id chime in. I came from a Kuro 5090 and Im just blown away by my new 65E6. Ive only had it since Monday and I literally cant wait to turn the TV on every day! My thoughts so far:
Positive:
Depth/Colour/Detail/Smart Options. Looks gorgeous. Would be worth every penny of the £3k I paid for it but the fact even the wife can see how good it is just takes the biscuit!
Neg:
Lip sync (comes and goes) in Smart Apps, Only one tuner (what the fudge? Really????), IP control only on US sets (again, what the fudge? Do us Brits not have HA systems then?), Not enough 4k content...yet!
The lip sync is annoying (I 'hope' it will get fixed) and the rest I just dont get. I added an HDD to take advantage of Freeview Play to discover I can record only one channel. Thats a real disappointment as it means having to run a youview box too. Really should have two tuners (any chance of retro-fitting tuners from E7?). The lack of control is annoying though I do think webos3 and the smart remote is great. Personally I see no point, at all, in the second remote....shouldve given us two tuners instead.
Otherwise its just perfect in every way. Ive read a lot over the last year (of waiting) about Motion Blur etc....I just dont see it. Sure, SD programming suffers but HD DVBT2, BluRay and Streaming all seems easily as good as the Kuro for motion. I certainly dont 'see' anything that makes me notice it (not yet anyway). I watched Sense8 on Netflix UHD and, even my wife said, 'its like looking through a window.' Its stunning. I cannot wait for a DV enabled Oppo 203, a new DV amp and some DV UHD 4k DId discs. If it can look this good on, no doubt compressed, streamed stuff I just cant wait to see what the likes of Sully and Passengers will look like!
Ive not actually tried any slides (I almost dont want to) and I can see no picture defects at all (not 'trained' but have 20/20); no vignetting, no dse, no bands...nothing perceptible so far on screen at all. Some contouring in, I assume, SD content but thats it.
I said of a car I bought recently that 'its the best Ive ever owned'....this is the best tv....ever, full stop. The only thing that will now make it better is to solve the Lip sync and give us that HLG promised update. Amazing TV. If the E7 had had 3D I would have waited but the 3D is too good to miss. I hope that LG just keep their promise on HLG as I want to keep this TV until it dies...I cant ever see me getting bored of that picture. I also cant say Ive ever thought that the picture is lacking in nits either! Oled over Qled any day. I walked around Currys the other day and every other tv just looks washed out by comparison. Simply no contest imho.
So, the question now is, is it really even worth ISFing? Will I truly see that much of a difference? Got Phil/Steves ISF Bright/Dark settings atm and they look great. Would spending more money make any real world difference or should I just put it towards my new amp/uhd spinner?
We're so lucky to have these tvs and Im just glad to be part of the club!!
