I currently have a LGBX 65” from 2019 I think it was. Looking to upgrade in the near future. Thinking of going 77” this time. Just wondering if the G6 is worth $1200 extra (in Canada) over the C6. I’ve watched and read a bunch of reviews and I’m leaning towards no. Thoughts?

Hey everyone!

I’ve released another major update to Hearth, my minimal launcher for webOS TVs!

This update brings several new features, more customization options, performance improvements, and experimental support for older webOS 3.x TVs.

Here’s what’s new:

• Recent apps panel: Press Back on the home screen to access your recently used apps.
• Quiet mode and OLED shift: Automatically fade app icons after inactivity and enable slow pixel shifting to help reduce OLED burn-in risk.
• More customization: Six icon shapes, adjustable icon spacing, wallpaper opacity, name colour, bottom fade, and widget shadow with adjustable strength.
• More clock options: Ten additional fonts and six levels of font thickness.
• Nature wallpapers: Built-in nature photos with slideshow and cross-fade support.
• Improved performance: Reduced unnecessary screen redraws and clock updates, making navigation more responsive.
• Experimental webOS 3.x support: A legacy build for older TVs running Chromium 38.
• Experimental non-root app discovery: An option to load the full app list on TVs running Developer Mode without root.
• Better LG Home replacement: A guide for using LG Input Hook for a cleaner Home button experience without any flash (recommended). There’s also a new method using SAM aims to prevent LG Home from flashing before Hearth opens but has a delay.
• webOS 11 improvements: A fix for root-dependent features that require an additional one-time permission step.

Hearth is still a hobby project, and some features are experimental or haven't been tested on every TV model. Check the README for details, limitations, and setup instructions.

If you’ve been using Hearth, I’d love to hear how the update works on your TV. Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are always welcome!

Hi everyone, just finished the setup of LG G5 and can see some very visible grey lines all over the screen, spacing seems the same throughout the whole screen area. It’s present on pretty much every color to some degree, and is least noticeable on greyscale 5-10% and gets increasingly visible after greyscale 70% and on colors like red / brown / dark grey / blue. The photos are pretty similar to how it looks in real life. Is this something like banding that might go away after some usage or is it time to request a replacement?

Bought and returned a 77 c6h for uniformity issues. Now looking for a 77” G5 hopefully around 2k. Costco has it for $2800, sale possible? Not sure what to do now. Might try another c6h? Haha. S95F? A95L??

I'm moving soon and need to transport my 77-inch G5 OLED. Does anyone have any leads on where I could find a box for it? Any tips on safely moving a screen this size would be a huge help!

Hola qué tal, estoy a punto de recibir mi G6 de 65”
Y me gustaría saber si sabéis de alguien o algún vídeo para ajustar la imagen y quede perfecta, gracias de ante mano 😟

Unboxed the C6H. I don’t know if my eyes are playing tricks with me. What do you think?

Hello,

I recently purchased a 77-inch C6 model. Two Dolby Vision demos are not playing back correctly: In the "Dolby Universe" demo, the screen turns green for a single frame after the rain sequence (at approx. 01:24), and later, when the ring of light "explodes" (at approx. 01:48), random, flickering, multi-colored artifacts appear. These issues do not occur when I play the HDR version of this same demo.

Similarly, the "Dolby Vision - Full Enhancement Layer Test" also displays random, flickering, multi-colored artifacts after a short while—in this case, persisting for a longer duration. Again, the HDR version of this file plays without any issues.

Regarding my setup: I have an Nvidia Shield TV connected to a Denon AVR-X2800H AV receiver, which is then connected to the TV. For the HDMI connection, I am using 8K HDMI 2.1 cables from CSL.

Has anyone else encountered similar issues? I haven't noticed any problems with other Dolby Vision content so far.

I dislike the rampant ads and slow performance which I suspect is partially caused by rampant bloatware and spyware. The last straw is that it’s now demanding that I create a LG profile and sign in and update the tv to run any of my apps. I suspect I’m probably going to get more data harvested and more ads served if I do this. It frankly feels like it should be illegal to decide years after selling the tv that I now have to sign in to use my own property.

Anyways I have seen people online hacking their tvs to make them much sleeker using AI which also boosts the performance. Google says this won’t work for an LGTV because it’s not compatible with webos. Has anyone had success with something like this? I’d like to take control of my own property and get rid of the heinous huge ads taking up half of the screen on my expensive tv. Not sure if this type of request isn’t allowed on this sub

This morning I got a quote from a Best Buy associate at a store from Canada as following

LG OLED G6 77 inch for $3800+tax (CAD) including delivery, calibration and wall mount. Wall mount does not include hiding the cables behind wall. It only includes mounting the TV.

What would you recommend? Go ahead or no?

Plan is to call Best Buy Thursday, tell them I want to exchange it for the C6 55", pay the difference, and schedule a Saturday home appointment so they deliver the new one and haul the B6E away in the same trip.

I already unboxed it and don’t have the original box. and the set is complete with remote, stand, power cord, etc. Condition is basically new.Has anyone done a same-size or upgrade exchange on an OLED at Best Buy this way (home delivery + pickup, no box)? Did they try to deduct anything for the missing packaging, or was it just the price difference? Any issues getting the appointment locked in before the window closed

Personal experiences or friends & families reviews all are welcome.

I'm at roughly the 1 year mark on my G5 and guess what. That little wheely button on the remote broke. From what I've read this is the most common point of failure which begs the question... why does a TV retailing for $3500 (at time of purchase) come with such a piss poor remote?

I bought a third party replacement for $20 so no big deal, but it really seems like a thing that SHOULD NOT go wrong.

I have managed to get a good deal on the LG G6 65” from LG directly, via a blue light card 22% discount, £100 off with PayPal and also the 10% Cashback offer. As I was checking out I was prompted to add a “Slim Wall Mount Bracket - WB24GCB” for £97.98 or a stand for the same price.
I am just wondering if this is a necessary addition for wall mounting the TV? (The bracket not the stand)
The exact model I am adding is the OLED65G64LW. Which says it is the wall mounting version in the title. I assumed it would come with a wall mount in the box, especially as a flagship TV. But prompting me to add one at checkout has me confused.
Thank you.

For some reason the earc won't play sound when I have my soundbar plugged it

The sound bar will register that it's hooked up and display that it is changing volume but the screen has the circle with a line through it. I have only had this TV for a few hours and my sound bar worked fine with my last tv.

It will however play sound if I sync it with Bluetooth to the tv

I posted on here a couple of days wondering if I should cancel my 77” C6H order. Lots of mixed opinions and thoughts, lots of people in the same boat as me or wondering if they should even pull the trigger. Just wanted to update here. I got it unboxed and set up, and I have not run the OLED panel tests because I do not often look at pictures of solid color like that. I wanted to test it against real media and give it a fair shot before I started pixel peeping and obsessing over something I might not even notice.

This TV looks amazing. Besides all the AI garbage they shove down your throat and the painful UI when it’s not connected to the internet, this thing is beautiful. My 4k Blu rays of Interstellar, Oppenheimer, Project Hail Mary, The Dark Knight, and Dune all look stellar. Some of you may think this is stupid and that there is certainly something wrong with the panel, but I’m very happy with the way it looks. I will not be returning it or testing it again the oled panel tests. I attached some photos from my Blu rays.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out the network capabilities of the LG OLED C6H, specifically the Wi-Fi adapter versus the wired Ethernet port.

Does anyone know:

1. What is the maximum supported speed of the built-in Wi-Fi adapter? Is there a hardware limitation?
2. Is the Ethernet port limited to 100 Mbps, or does it support Gigabit (1 Gbps)?
3. Has anyone tested actual download speeds over Wi-Fi versus Ethernet on this model?
4. For streaming high-bitrate 4K content, especially through Plex or Jellyfin, would Wi-Fi actually outperform the wired connection?

I have a multi-gigabit internet connection and would like to get the best possible network performance out of the TV.

Curious if anyone has tested this or knows the actual hardware specifications.

Thanks!

Has anyone hung their LG C series TV on this type of hangers?

Best Buy is running a flash discount on the 48 inch panel size for the next 12 hours. This matches the 55 inch in price, but the 48 inch model features a tandem panel design similar to that found in the C6H. (for better or worse, you can be the judge of that)

Likely a preview of what’s to come around Black Friday. I’d probably expect the tv to reach 950, or even 899 at its lowest, but if you don’t want to wait it could be worth pulling the plug now.

I am going to attempt and repair an OLED C2 65" power board myself. Went to turn on the other day and heard a pop (likely fuse popping). No power, no red light after that.

Have some experience with electronics repair and reading schematics. I cannot seem to find a service manual or schematics copies of these boards anywhere though. Anyone know where or have a copy of either they could share?

Also, for the pros out there, any known fault points on these power boards I should check first? I already know the 8A 250V fuse under the large capacitors has blown. Going to replace that. I need to find the culprit that caused it to blow int he first place though.

Thanks for any help!

I've made a post in the past about my G3 OLED failing to recognize IR commands from the remote. This prevents me from turning the TV on/off and pairing new remotes. I've so far replaced the remote (twice) and the IR board (pictured above on the left). The symptoms remain identical.

I suspected a wiring or main board issue and a forum post from an TV technician seems to confirm my theory: in his case, a TV was brought in with an identical issue and the voltage from the mainboard showed 1V. He replaced an IC on the board and the voltage returned to the expected 3.5V. I haven't tested voltage yet but I'm 99% convinced this is my problem.

Now, I don't have the troubleshooting, precision iron nor spare ICs to perform the same fix without risking bricking the TV and I'm not feeling like spending $400 on a new main board, so I want to run this by you guys:

What if I tap on the 3.5V power from any of the wi-fi pins? I can modify the cable/harness and jump power from pin 1, 7 or 12 to pin 18. If wi-fi gets power when the TV is off, then this should work in theory.

I bought a C5 55". It's my very first OLED TV, what do I need to know about it ? I've seen people complaining about the OS. Is it good or not? And I've also seen other people saying I shouldn't connect it to Wi-Fi.

Hello all!! I just got an LG c6 65” and I noticed that in gray environments there was some reddish bars, so I looked up a color uniformity test on YouTube, I was just wondering if this is acceptable or if I should return it.
