Sorry to bother you guys but today I had a day off and I just spent 5 hours to read this thread from page 735 till 768. The thing is: LG fucked up with the firmware bigtime! And this is just one topic in one language (you have many topics like this in dutch/german/italian etc etc and also on different websites). So it is not just one country and one little issue. If you call/e-mail LG, they don’t know shit or they give us some bullshit answers. LG support is like Hell.

We customers pay a lot of money for these OLED’s but LG doesn't care and I think you will agree with me: this has to stop. Most users on this forum are complaining about the following after update 05.30.03:

  • No more perfect black anymore -> glow
  • Menu is laggy (mostly with 4k input) sometimes also after factory reset
  • Loss of contrast
  • Banding in some hdr movies
  • When in PC MODE: greenish picture in all HDR modes or too dark
  • WIFI not working properly anymore (also for c6)
  • Bad stuttering with motion
  • Causing screen tearing on OSSC (a line multiplier to upscale retro consoles and it outputs 1080p)
  • Text is very blurry now with occasional blue/red banding in PC MODE

I also think they can easily reduce the input lag for PC mode (4:4:4) but LG doesn't care. And what about the HDR Game mode, that is way too dim? That’s not okay for a high end tv. I bought this tv for pc gaming, but I can’t enjoy it to the max. Anyway, the reason I e-mail you guys is because I think you guys are honest, independent and not paid by LG or Sony etc to do a TV review. Many review sites won’t say shit about this, because they get paid by TV companies and I hate that because we customers get screwed. I hope you will investigate this … and I promise you, the community (from av till avs till neogaf till tweakers etc) will love you guys for making an article about this because the b6 is one of the best selling tv’s … even now!

Sorry for this long e-mail but I’m a little upset and want justice ?? Greetings from Holland and keep up the good work! X
