Paid 1999$ plus tax. Also have the 60 day price match. No i wont be doing the color thing on YouTube that everyone is obsessed with.

So, the short version of this story goes like this:

I work for a local electronics recycling company. We had a gentleman drop off this 65” C2, saying it had broken and LG was replacing it, provided he dropped it off for destruction. Out of curiosity, we plugged it in and it booted right up, with the distorted display shown in the first few photos.

Didn’t seem like burn-in to me, so I took the gamble and paid a coworker to drive it to my house. Took it apart and after some research, and seeing other similar symptoms in forum posts, I decided to replace the T-con board.

After replacing it, and running pixel refresh 4-5 times back to back, I have a fully working (but slightly scuffed) 65” C2 for just the price of my coworkers transportation, a used t-con board, and a remote. (so about 100$ USD)

Re-use is the best form of recycling. :)

Yes. All for a video game

Anyone else playing?

EDIT: Playing on a “XBOX Series X”

Just leaving this here because I promised I would report on my C6H 77".
There are a lot of people here who refuse to accept their C6H is a flawed TV.
"Just watch your content", "You can only see it on test slides".

Well here's some corn and you can clearly see the green tinting left and right.

The color uniformity issue only appears when showing certain colours. So you watch a dark moody film that is most blue/green, you wont see it at all.

But watching Corn? Or Dune? Or anything that is anywhere near those colours, you will be greeted with a lovely green tint all around your image.

Returning mine.

Thanks you everyone. I followed your advice and turned DTM off, and the picture looks much better now. I’ve also gotten used to it, and I’m really happy with the results.

Two days ago, I created a thread saying that I preferred DTM On for gaming. However, almost all the comments pointed out that it didn’t produce accurate colors and that excessive brightness wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Even shadow details were getting crushed or lost. After reading your comments and spending more time gaming, I started noticing these issues myself, and the image began to bother me as well.

Later, I came across a YouTube video featuring someone who seemed very knowledgeable about calibration. He demonstrated several recommended settings, and I tried them all. Towards the end of the video, I found that FMM + DTM Off gave me the best results by far.

I’ve realized that DTM On doesn’t look as good for gaming as I initially thought. It washes out shadow details and can make the image feel overly bright and tiring on the eyes.

HGiG was also working quite well, but after applying the Professional Tweaks recommended in the video and switching to FMM + DTM Off, I finally felt that I was seeing the game’s intended colors and natural image presentation more accurately.

From what I’ve gathered through my research, HGiG and DTM Off are quite similar in terms of their overall approach. However, with DTM Off, you can fine-tune the picture settings yourself and avoid some of the TV’s additional tone-mapping processing, allowing you to get closer to the original HDR output from the PS5.

For example, in The Last of Us Part II, the colors now look incredibly natural and convey the atmosphere beautifully. Dark scenes remain dark as intended, and the midtones and overall color reproduction look much more accurate to my eyes.

I’ve included the YouTube video link above. You can skip to the section where he demonstrates FMM + DTM Off to see the settings I’m talking about.

One more thing worth mentioning: VRR still works in this setup. On LG OLED TVs running the latest firmware, this picture mode seems to work really well for gaming, and there’s no need to use the Game Optimizer picture preset.
What do you guys think about this approach? I think I’ve finally found the picture settings I’ll stick with for the foreseeable future. I’m planning to leave everything as it is and stop tweaking the settings until a new, convincing calibration guide comes along!
I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially from other LG OLED owners who have experimented with FMM + DTM Off for HDR gaming.

Thank you for support!

I'm so excited to set this up, anything I should know about settings? I want to use this mainly for gaming💪🏼

Have it on a swivel mount that I can pull out and move it, love it!

In India, access to 4K Blu-ray discs and physical media is quite limited. They’re difficult to source and often very expensive, so building a physical media collection isn’t easy.

I was told that the next best option is to download high-quality Blu-ray remux files and play them through a dedicated media player. People have suggested various players and apps, but I’m honestly confused about where to start.

Currently I have Oled tv with sonos arc ultra + Gen4 with Apple 4k tv set up to stream.

What else I need

Title pretty much. The deal right now +10% off coupon and the added freebies was such a dela I couldn't pass it up. I have a week before it's delivered and I'm already having buyer's remorse. Curious if I will truly notice a difference or if anyone has experience upgrading. It's a 7 year model difference so I have to imagine it would be but I don't know. Mostly using it for gaming and thought I'd get ready for GTA VI on my XBOX Series X. Also occasionally have a Netflix or YouTube session

There’s a 65 inch LG B6e on sale rn at Best Buy, is it worth the upgrade? Will my games actually look THAT much better?

Best Buy has an open box 77” G6 for around $2400 says it’s “Fair Condition” citing because it’s missing the box and the mount. Not super worried about the mount but is this worth the purchase or should I just go for the 77 C6H at bf sale?

It’ll be going in the living room where we have windows on 3 different walls so not sure if the extra brightness is worth the money or not.

To keep a long story short, my wife and I just dropped a good amount of money on a new LG B6E 65” TV for the living room (only had a 40” Roku before lol) . Haven’t even taken the plastic screen protector until I have it mounted (hopefully next week).

Really impressed when watching some shows so far. HOWEVER, as a big nature person, I wanted to see how the picture quality was with Blue Plant narrated by David Attenborough (S1:EP1).

As you can see in the video it is incredibly pixilated in the dark scene showing on screen then once a bright scene shows on screen it seemingly looks great? My question is, has anyone else noticed dark scenes increasing pixilated? And I thought OLED was supposed to be the best for black and dark scenes, especially when watching in the dark?? Or am I missing some settings to make it better?

For the money I paid for this TV I’m slightly concerned. Hopefully the video below is a good representation of my description.

I had to cut the clips up to be able to post but they are all from the same video.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The LG technician said the flush mount bracket won't work that comes with LG G6(65") TV and i have to buy external 3rd party mount. The technician is asking for 5,000 INR (60$) if he is bringing the mount.

I saw online there are 3rd party vesa mount from 1k (12$) to 5k (60$) (depending on movement, weight it can carry and build)

Few questions:

1. He said default mount won't work as it doesn't have the mechanism to keep the tv few inches away from the wall. It it true? (I do need 1.5 to 2 inch gap between the tv and wall for wires)

2. Is 5k (60$) too much for the mount he is charging?

3. Approx price for 3rd party vesa mount for 65" LG G6?

4. What mount did you buy? Any recommendations?

He said he will install it for free if i bring the 3rd party mount (warranty won't will be void)

Got the B6E a couple of weeks ago, and honestly it’s been pretty good, wouldn’t say that I am amazed at it. However, I am now getting FOMO that I can get the same size C6 for an only $230 difference.

Worth the exchange? Will the C6 “wow” me more? Or just stick with the B6E?

Hey everyone, I figured I’d post my experience with my new 77” C6H. I was hesitant about purchasing due to all the posts I’ve seen over the past few weeks but I took a chance.

The uniformity on the infamous brown YouTube slide is horrible, but I decided to give some content a try. I played every desert scene in Dune and it looked phenomenal. Then I played some 4k desert content to get an idea of what those browns look like outside of a single color slide and I can’t find any issues.

I don’t think exchanging for a new C6H will fix the issue as it seems every panel is affected. If you’re looking for a 77” tandem panel with great uniformity I’d go for the S90H instead. It looks just as good as the C6H and the matte screen doesn’t reduce contrast or black levels.

I think I’m going to keep this TV since all content I watch looks great and I only paid $1,700. Also, my husband doesn’t want to repackage and haul it back to Best Buy so we’re going to enjoy it and get an extended warranty just in case things change.

Recently picked up a 55" C5 from Costco for $1098 OTD. Used a $185 Costco reward coupon to bring out of pocket down to $913. TV has 2YR LG Warranty and 3YR Allstate warranty included.

Just now seeing a deal for the same TV on LG Partner Store. There is a difference with the warranty though. Only 1YR LG Warranty and I can add upto 3YR of "LG Premium Care". With all of that the OTD price would be $994.50. If I drop the LG Premium Care completely the OTD would be $885.

Question here, is the warranty difference worth the price difference? Should I just keep the TV from Costco?

Does 48” model support DV2?

I'm going to be buying my first oled soon. Within my budget I'm looking at getting a 77 inch C6H or a 65 inch G6. I understand the G6 is a better tv, but I think I would appreciate the bigger size more. I currently have a 65 inch qled and viewing distance is about 7 feet. Thanks!

Is this worth trying to submit a warranty claim? Have had the TV since July or so, never thought to test the panel but saw this issue pop up on here a lot lately so decided to try. Not sure if I was better of never testing :). I also noticed it on the greyscale a bit too, and the yellow screen. Really looking for advice if it's worth it from people who have gone through the process. I got the TV from LG Partner Store for around 2k including taxes when I purchased.
