I wish somebody would offer such a “sell + calibration service” here in Singapore, too... As always, fantastic Video Vincent!

Mr Vincent you do a good review in all your reviews and testings , I always look forward to your videos . Also Thumbs UP for your sponsors excellent .

I think LG needs to be given a lot of credit for the year-to-year improvements they make to their OLED panels. I’m holding out hope that Sony will introduce a second generation OLED in 2018, that marks a pretty significant improvement over the A1. But if they don’t, I’m probably going to get an LG B7. Steve Yedlin, the DOP for ‘The Last Jedi’, is currently using a 55-inch B7 to double as his reference monitor. LG has come such a long way since investing R&D into OLED technology.

Such a likable and competent guy this Vincent! Hope you will be testing TVs for a long looong time! One of my favorite channels on KZread! Hopefully we will start seeing HDMI 2.1 next year!

Excellent review Vincent, thank you.

Thanks to your reviews, Vincent, I am watching this review on an LG 65B7V! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Vincent for the new firmware review. Really appreciate your taking the time to do an in-depth analysis. I hope LG lets you keep the set(s) for future videos/comparisons. I didn't even know that the KZread HDR implementation was rather off. I just thought its to do with the youtube compression and such.

Another great video Vincent.

I bought this tv 55 inch is spectacular 5 stars, great LG. Thank you for the video

Correction the B7A DOES have internal atmos encoding since all the TVs have the same panels and chipsets, only the speakers don't have atoms output. You'll still get atoms if you connect it to a receiver with atoms support like I do.

If I was in the UK, I would 100% come to you for calibration! I'm in Canada so for sure ; big thumbs up, and subscription to channel. And also ; you convinced me to go OLED with your videos now that the 2017 LG b7 models are down to clearance price under 3000$ (1600-1700 UK pounds) for the 65 inch.

I love your reviews. I ended up buying the LG OLED B7, great deal.

Thank you for all this info. It helps me here in United States to make inform buying decision. Your amazing and very professional. Be Blessed

This guy actually knows what hes talking about and does great videos well played

Thank you Vincent

Vincent you are one of the best out their when its come to all these olde tv

Great review as usual.

Excellent break down and very informative!

Great work LG!

love your stuff man! keep it up!

Best review on KZread!

I might have to buy my next display pre-calibrated by you!

wow, you are great Vincent. Thank you for these Infos.

Excellent review as usual Vincent. I just wish you wouldn't say the screen size, year and model numbers so many times. LG B7 would suffice. Keep up the great work.

LG C7 is now on my wish list!

Cheers, Excellent review appreciate your technical insight.

Very informative video Vincent, thank you.

Vincent, you are so informative and have great content! Just one constructive criticism... I wish you would improve your presentation by not repeating redundant info. For example, you don't need to keep repeating the full firmware number or model number for a TV after mentioning it once at the beginning of the video. You can just refer to them as the "new" or "old" firmware, or the "LG" vs "Sony" tv, or "the C7" etc. This would help to shorten your needlessly long videos. You can get across the same information in half the time. Thank you for listening and keep making great content!

rsjet The model number is important, for instance the B7 has worse image retention than the C7.

thanks for the video Vincent.go on making videos.

Dear Vincent I truly respect you for your honest reviews...please kindly let us know about image retension on LG OLED panels

Very informative video and channel, thank you! I would love it if you could make a video addressing burn in issues with these screens and maybe giving some advice on how to avoid it happening with everyday use. I'm planning on getting a B7 soon, but am really scared of the possibility of burn in.

My brightness was at 53 no problems. After the update there is a slight glow at 53 and I had to bring it down to 50 to regain true black. Nothing major but after watching this vid I wish a professional like Vincent would explain any technical improvements in the update. As you can see in this B7 video only a trained professional eye can understand all the technical improvements in an update. But the B6 is the 2016 model so it probably wont happen.

Great presentation. I wonder if it possible for your to sell customers in the US a listing of settings to maximize the picture quality?

Excellent video as usual.. I have 2 B7 P models.. One on new Fw one on the FW with working youtube HDR.. I Switch to PC mode to avoid image degradation and retain low input lag of game mode. Can you measure input lag in PC mode before you send sets back? Did not know that Dynamic mode works different in game mode thanks.

Any improvement in image retention clean up via firmware update?

Is The yellow tint problem on the LG b7a due to the lottery luck of getting a good monitor or Something that can be greatly reduced by using proper calibration settings

Excellent review as always! Can u do a video about lip sync issues ppl are experiencing with set top boxes? It's driving me insane !

Are these improvements enough to be on par with Sony and Panasonic in the same areas?

Hi Vincent, love the vid, but my 65B7 just got the 04.70.06, and the TV is reporting no updates from that. Any idea as to the reason for that? I live in the UK (South). Also, after the 'update' I actually thought, and still believe, the PQ is WORSE than before! One very important thing we need to know - if we've just spent hundreds of pounds on a TV calibration, and the PQ changes due to firmware updates, does this mean we've wasted our money, and now need ANOTHER cal???

Vincent, I'm sure this is a common question, but do you have a link to the lovely 4K artwork you use as a screensaver on these OLED? Thanks for the wonderful reviews, the most helpful on the web! Would you mind doing an update on the latest firmware on the LG C6 from last year? There seem to be some confusion there regarding HLG implementation and the new HDR gmaing mode update.

I have the LG 65B7 and can say that the new firmware (04.70.10) does not allow for playing of Lossless Dolby Atmos (Dolby Atmos True HD) over HDMI. It only allows for playing of Lossy Dolby Atmos . It would be great if this could be addressed. Any chance you could communicate this point to LG Vincent ?

Vincent you are the best

Thanks for review. What would you recommend to choose Sony KD-65ZD9 or LG OLED C7, B7, E7? I read and reviewed many reviews, but I can not decide. I will be very grateful for the advice.

hi Vincent, I brought the C6 based on your opinions and I love it. does this firmware effect that model too? I like having 3D options and love the curved screen which looks lush from side viewing.

Thanks for the video Vincent, very informative and it’s interesting to hear of your professional calibration service here in the UK. Just a question though in regards to your services. Do you travel for personal calibration services and how would that be arranged? In my case I live in Scotland, just near to Edinburgh, and am possibly about to buy a 4K OLED tv. If I got one I would be keen to try and get it set up properly and like the idea of your service but of course need to understand likely cost and whether this would be possible for you. Thank you.

i hope they update the fw of the 2016 oleds as well. it would be a shame to abandon those high end tvs

I take it this latest firmware update applies to the LG B7 55 inch and C7 OLED as well.

Thanks for your response. Of course, this preset only distinguishes itself by making some different choices in picture settings. I find those perceptually more pleasing when compared to ISF Bright Room. Mainly I tend to look at how much contrast there is between actors' faces and the background and how pronounces facial detail in shadows is. Yes, I know this is quite idiosyncratic.

Hello Vincent Teoh, please activate the translation of the video for the benefit of users from other continents. Very good firmware evaluation.

No more updates for the B6? I'm still waiting for a fix that doesn't force wide color gamut in game mode.

Dear Vincent, first of all, congratulations on Your channel. You're great reviewer. I have a question: I got the B7 4.70.06 that's supposedly get TruHD and ATMOS through ARC. I dont get TruHD trhough ARC. Did I understood wrong that 4.70.06 had this enabled? I've got ATMOS through streaming services in the 3.60, so, no new to 4.70.06. Thanks in advance

I love my 65" C7, my only real complaint is that image burn is really bad if you have static text on the screen. It's fine for movies and TV and motion picture, but in apps or gaming if there is solid white text on the screen and then you have grey backgrounds, it stays for minutes.

Love your content. I got a great deal on a brand new 55B7A ($600). I plan on purchasing the SJ9 sound bar to complement the television in a smaller space. If I plan on using the bar's Atmos audio "capability ", do I just run my content through the bar for decoding, then out to the TV?

Hello, thanks for this video. What do you suggest to reduce vertical banding? I have the OLED65B7P in Canada. Thanks.

Hi Vincent! You talk about tweeking the game mode to cope with color gammut locked to « wide ». Could you PLEASE share those tweaks in a video, maybe a special gaming video for LG Oled?? Thath would be amazing thx!

Which would you recommend the 2017 B7 or the 2018 Sony x900F in the US? I like action movies so am worried about the soap opera effect. Both TVs cost the same amount in the US and wanted to get your expert opinion. Is there any other TVs other than the ones I mentioned that you like better? Thanks for the great reviews hdtvtest

this is my TV yey!

Great review. I have a 2016 OLED55E6 which I bought last December. It has not received this update. Does this mean my last year’s model is now obsolete?

before the latest changes to game hdr, it was fine. so the argument that this had to be done can't be quite right. and what does a hdr game mode do good if you cannot use it, because you can't see anymore?

How is the technicolor picture mode's before calibration color accuracy? LG is loud about how accurate this picture mode is so I'm curious how close this picture mode to Panasonic's before calibration color accuracy

I’m looking to purchase an OLED TV this holiday season. After taking in all this information I’m beginning to think purchasing this TV would be a mistake if I intend on connecting it to my PS4 Pro for 4K gaming. This is interesting to me because this is the number one rated TV on the web for gaming and most reviews fail to mention the detail about brightness. Should I go with a Sony OLED display then if I prefer HDR gaming brightness over lag time? And as always, thank you Vincent for your in-depth reviews.

The latest update for my LG B7 55" is 04.70.06 -->> Is this really the latest? Cant find any newer when searching. Any hint?

Awesome reviews, advice, and expert knowledge! I have the C7P and trying to see if I can get the right calibration Settings as much as possible can you please help me! Running firmware 4.70.07 latest here in US at least for my tv! Thanks again!

Hi Vincent I tried playing a M2TS file of a full 4k blu ray movie about 70 gigs with Dolby Atmos via both usb ports available on the B6 and 7 oleds but the TV does not recognize the audio codec. Other M2TS file with DTS X play via usb but the sound downscales to DTS. Also I am not able to get Dolby Vision when I Am playing via LG 4K Blu ray player with the recent firmware update. Spiderman homecoming, Fate of the Furious , Transformers The Last Knight that are all Dolby Vision enabled just source out HDR. Also checked for latest 4K cables that are connected and all hardware seems to be correct. Any Insights into this?

Based on Naj B comments with many issues created by the latest LG firmware updates, do you suggest I, with a new B7A bought nov 21, 2017 update its firmware. As a computer techie, firmware updates rarely cause problems on our computers, but we can always delete & reinstall a prior firmware . I see many comments that once firmware updates are applied to 2017 LG models, a prior firmware cant be re-installed. apparently 2016 models could go back to a prior firmware, not 2017 models. Can someone confirm they installed newest firmware then deleted and went back? and are ew firmware issues a problems for very few LG owners.

HDTV would you say I should update my lg55c6 Tv from 4.30.xx to 5.30? I will need to use Dynamic Contrast in HDR in game mode to get the same brightness as standard picture. what should I do?

my C7 arrives in a few days, are you suggesting using the technicolor setting over the isf settings? I’m slightly confused by this point

So which would you recommend I get here in the US? The B7 p or B7 b? I am getting one for my Xbox one x hopefully this blackfriday! Also keep up the incredible content! I absolutely love your channel how unbiased and factual it is.

Vincent - does this update place it above the Sony KD65A1? Struggling to choose between the pair :)

I really want to but the 65` version of this tv :) I dont have the time to watch this video now but will later tonight. Just wondering....how is the input lag for gaming after the update...still 21ms in game mode,not higher value? Also can files like mkv and mp4 video files be played from a memory stick connected to the usb slot? Thanks in advance.

Hi Vincent I really respect your knowledge about TV's So I want your help to decide if its time for a replacement of my much beloved Panasonic TC-PVT50. I am super sensitiv to motion blur, SOAP effect and unnatural colours, in that order. So why do I want to upgrade? I would like to jump the HDR wagon, I also love the picture quality of 4K but HDR is whats really makes a difference. Can the LG 65B7 in your option replace my old Panasonic?

How to restart a non-responsive app like Netflix? Power cycling tv doesn't work since last 2 firmware updates broke OS quick start function. IT'S ALWAYS ON! It's my second unit, exchanged since vertical banding was very bad on first one. Both tvs had same issue after firmware update on B7P

Wow, what a great idea. I wish I had a retailer here in the Southeastern United States that offered the same service. I’m actually trying to figure out who I should hire for OLED calibration near me. I live about an hour and a half from Atlanta, GA, if you have any recommendations for calibrators near me, please let me know. I plan on buying at least one 65 inch LG OLED B7 hopefully this month. Considering also purchasing the 77inch Signature OLED, however I may hold off to see if any manufacturers release a bigger option this next year.

Just spoke to Crampton & Moore and they say they no longer offer calibration - any thoughts on this or how to get it done before shipping?

What is your guys settings for SDR gaming for the OLED Light? I´m coming from an LCD-LED tv and at 50 OLED Light the picture looks a bit dim.

Great Review, very informative. Quick question is HDR in Video Games the same as Movies where the APL remains the same as SDR and the extra brightness is only used for highlight detail?

Dear Vincent, could you do a video or at least tell me your personal opinion on the problem of Burn In on the LG Oleds/Oleds at all ? I'm close before buying a 55b7 and stumbled on the various reports of burn in problems with the 2016 oleds today.. Since i game alot (not everyday but if i do i tend to do sessions from 4-6 hours) i'm very worried about this issue now.

Vincent do you know what is different between the B7V (European Version) and the B7D, which is the distinct German version? In Germany you can buy both, but I'd like to know what the difference actually is and can't find any information.

Did they fix the burn-in? Or at least covered it in the warranty? That's all that matters really

Love my C7, and the firmware updates are great! Its like the Tesla of TVs. Lol

Can you apply the euro firmware to a US B7 to get atmos support? (Just curious, i got a C7)

By the way, is anyone else experiencing major audio latency when using optical out from this tv? I especially experience this when I have a ps4 pro connected to the TV and using the dolby 5.1 digital output via hdmi to the TV and then via optical output from the TV to the audio receiver, whereas other audio output settings in the ps4 (pcm or dts) do not cause as much latency, but still some. Also when using the option to output audio from both TV internal speakers + optical output, the sound will be significantly out of sync. If I instead connect the receiver directly to the ps4 via optical output this issue does not appear.

Do i have to set to low dynamic contrast when i watch movies? It is driving me crazy....

Wait this update makes dark even darker? I use the 55" B7V as a PC monitor, and I have the impression dark colours are too dark already. In the most extreme cases some shadows in games seem black while there should be some detail in there. Won't this update just make that worse?

Does the new firmware make the screen darker? I’ve read this; particularly in hdr

Vincent, any improvement watching low res signals?

Incorrect information. The B7A is perfectly capable of Dolby Atmos passthrough. It just doesn't have it for the display's internal speakers. Which is mostly pointless anyway.

It looks that even with new firmware Dolby Atmos via HDMI is not working :( I try from my PS4 PRO and PS3 to play Dolby Atmos and failed :/ Also try to passthrough to my Marantz NR1608 and it also fail :( Vincent do you have any idea how to fix it ? For me it looks like some bug i latest firmware. My version 4.70.30

Hi Vincent , i have the 2017 LG C7, i just tried to find the update but my tv is saying the latest update is 04.70.06, is this because i live in Japan? if so, will Japan have the update ? Cheers.
