Love my oled

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Thanks for the response.

There's no difference performance wise between the 55P607 and 55P605 model, correct? I see that the 55P605 model is Best Buy exclusive but it's $50 cheaper, and all I can find is that the remote is different.

The 607 is Full Array with Local-Dimming. (Better black levels and Uniformity) The 605 is Edge-lit. Will probably have some uniformity issues

Welp.

I did it.

LG C7 65.

Still in a state of shock at my incoming credit card statement.

Delivery and installation will be next week.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

Enjoy. I just got my B7 on Friday. After performing some calibration, the picture is honestly breath-taking. Actively looking to get it professionally calibrated to take it to the next level.

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

I feel the same but was looking to get a consensus.

I've bought appliances over the past few years and refused to get the in-store extended warranties.

The included manufacturer's warranty is usually one year and your credit card usually has first year protection.

TVs are fickle though so that's why I'm asking what guys here have done.

Anyone here opt to not insure their TV?

I'd never spend $1600 and just rely on the manufacturers warranty. I always get Squaretrade. They are reasonably priced and I've had them before and they're great about getting an item fixed or replaced very quickly if you need them.

Is there a link or source I can read up on it for calibrating it myself?

I plan to do the same just to get it going and then get it professionally done.

I just selected the ISF dark mode, disabled all image processing, turned Sharpness down and used my Disney WOW calibration blu-ray with my Xbox One S, to set Brightness, Contrast, Color and Tint. If you play a 4k blu-ray or use 4k netflix on the Xbox One S and then put in the WOW blu-ray, you can calibrate the Cinema and Game HDR viewing modes as well. I also recommend reading Rtings settings article for the LG C7.

TCL p series

Do you think this'll drop in price anytime soon? I'm doubting it, just figuring out my purchasing strategy.

Also, do you think the remote is worth the 50 bucks for the non BB version? I was planning on just getting the BB one at some point...but if waiting for BF means a big price drop or something I'd consider that.

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Amazon has it for 600 with code TCLONKTLA

I'm thinking this is my best option, wouldn't you think? Better to get the fancier remote?

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Also, is square trade decent for protection? I can add on 3 year for 33 bucks on amazon it seems...

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Sorry for the deluge....I'm excited though, got the 55" P series with fancy remote, amazon 3 year square trade for 680 out the door. Probably don't need the insurance, but 33 bucks wasn't terrible.

Gets here thursday!

Amazon link, use above code to save 50 bucks

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Need help... I can't HDR on my PS4 to enable because it keeps saying my TV is only HDCP 1.4 compliant, not 2.2 which it is (2017 LG OLED B7). Note, this is going through my AV Receiver which is also HDCP 2.2 compliant as my XBOX One S works without issue. Anyone have any thoughts?

Are you in the correct HDMI port to do it? I know some of these TV's only do HDR on like HDMI 1, and not the other ports.

Yes. If I go directly to the TV it works as expected. When I go through my receiver it doesn't. My receiver is HDCP 2.2/4K/HDR compliant and the like I said, the Xbox One S works as expected going through the receiver.

On Playstation.com I found this article that says:

Note: The PS4 must be connected directly from the PS4 to the TV to output HDR. It can’t be connected to a receiver or switch box.

What a dumb design decision. I like to run everything through my receiver so I only have to calibrate 1 input on my TV. It makes things so much easier.

Got it. That really is a dumb design decision. It would be one thing if they had two HDMI output ports on the PS4, but nope...

Wow, that's incredulous. I couldn't imagine not using my PS4 through my receiver, which is 4K-ready and the like.

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

It is not as bad as I thought other than having to switch inputs back and forth. My TV has an "Apply to all inputs" in the picture menu and the primary input I am using has ARC enabled. So when I switch to the other input for the PS4, the sound is still outputs through my receiver because of ARC.

I am not sure if I am getting lossless audio from the PS4 anymore but there is nothing I can do about that.
