Is the difference that significant? The prices look about the same to me

Ah, I don't think he was complaint about the difference in price between the models, but the price of an E6 in the US and the EU

65 E6 - In the US is $4000/£3162 compared to UK pricing of £4099/$5184
Still a fair chunk higher but obviously here in the UK 20% VAT
If it runs WebOS then based on my calls to LG then they are looking in to updating all WebOS firmwares to fix the issue, I've a 850V here in the UK which was a 2015 set too.

Same input lag as in SDR mode? LG, you did well!
Maybe LG will improve the input lag in the general HDR mode, but since the 2015 sets don't have different HDR picture modes, a special HDR game mode is very unlikely.

I wonder if input lag still cycles though
Brilliant, hopefully this is something they'll be updating soon then! I really don't want to end up regretting my purchase and it's too soon to be looking for another new TV.

My E6 arrives on Saturday, so I hope this update reaches the UK quick. Can't wait to see FF15 and Ratchet in HDR

props to LG for trying to fix these issues.
once they do, their OLED tvs will be god-like

Just read the the hdtvtest post, so good that LG delivered again
If you want chroma 4:4:4 then LG OLED is the most responsive TV
Here's the full size pic btw

I don't think input lag has differed between 1080p and 4K for any of the TVs you'd want to buy.
Edit: Ok, there seem to be some.

Yeah, the E6 has the soundbar.
I paid 19990 NOK (Norway) = ~£1875 for my 55" E6.
The input lag on the C6/E6 doesn't cycle.

Oh, that's just the B6? Well shit. That means the E6/C6 are officially on my shopping list now

Well we haven't seen the update on the b6 yet.. prior to this the b6 had less input lag than the c6/e6

But that cycled, and it had much higher lag on non-HDR non-4K content..
Correct, which is a big question for myself.

The C/E/G models have always had better input lag than the B series due to the better soc processor on board. I would hope they improve the B but it will likely not match the other series. Sdr gaming on the B was already 10ms higher than the C/E/G in sdr gaming.
Only in HDR. B6 has higher lag in SDR. And the cycles meant the lag wasn't consistent on B6 in HDR either.
I didnt even know there was 1080p HDR content lol always thought it was exclusive for 4K

Great work. Man, I hope the 2017 sets will improve on this also. Thats what I'll keep telling myself.
My ec9300 has served me well with its input lag in the 20's, but I can't just miss out on all the hdr madness can I?

If you don't mind the very subtle curve (it's less aggressive curve than on Samsung and others) then pick the C6, much cheaper than the E6 and the image quality is the same because of the same SoC
Check out Rtings' picture, looks almost flat

LG CSs are full of BS though.
I asked them about the C6 model in Canada and they said LG would release the model in October, then November, then this year for sure. LOL. I gave up and imported one.

I'll reiterate the statement I made at the bottom of the post:
I would prefer to post some level of statement from their group than sit here in radio silence for the B6 owners wondering what's going on.

Oh definitely. Have had my eye on both for a long time now. However, I live in the EU, where the C6 is almost as expensive as the E6 :/

Censorship fail haha
I guess LG can't stabilize the input lag that's why the delay
I know the feel, I'm european as well and the 55C6 is closer to the B6 in terms of price but the 65 version is almost as expensive as the 65E6, both 65 version are like more than 60% more expensive which is absurd for extra 10 inches, I rather sit closer a bit... But what pissing me off that 65C6 is 20% more here than other EU countries like while the 55 inch version is the same as everywhere.

Thanks for posting this here. I hope this is true. Its the only thing that holds my B6 back from me being 100% happy with it. Other than this one thing is so phenomenal.

Yeah.... a Tier 1 service rep is not gonna know anything factual

Correct. I and others have mentioned this several times in this thread. B6 owners need to take a deep breath and be patient. The set has been on its own firmware path because of the varying chipset from the get-go.

I have a B6 55" and was prompted to update my TV just the other day. I haven't been home much the last couple of days to check what it did, but was that completely separate?
While I do agree with you, the reps generally seem unaware or unsure of things but when I asked (i was on the chat as well) the guy said it with such certainty that I kind of had to guess that he knew what he was talking about. I even said, will ALL 2016 OLED models be getting the update for HDR gaming, or just some, and he said all without hesitation and that it should be releasing in December.
That was to address HDCP issues with the Pro. They certainly seem to be listening to gamers as of late as they should be.

I have the same model. What was the version number of the update? I'm still running 4.30.40 on mine (in the US) and have not been prompted and nor does an update get pushed when I try to update manually from the set. The site lists the same version as well for download.
Did I miss something?
they roll out in waves. different regions get them at different times. Usually with a week or so of the first areas having the update everyone will get it. The new one is 04.30.65. Keep an eye out for it.

Yeah, I know. They usually put the new version up on the site for download pretty quickly. Strange they haven't done that this time. I'm fine with manually updating. Hell, I got .40 on there manually.
Thanks for the heads up on the version number though.

Hah! Wattup haines! Looks like you and I both think alike, planning on an OLED set next year as well. This will be the main living room tv, and then KS8000 will then move to the media room

Oh good! So I can turn HDCP 2.2 back on? I'll try that later.

Glad to see they are taking this seriously. Hopefully a B6 fix is on the way so I can take my set out of the box. If not I'll just return it and pick up one of the 2017 models next year for too much money.

For the last update I had to do it manually as well. It took them forever to update on the site but the weird thing is that when I did a google search I would still get the older firmware so I actually got a link from a forum member to the 4.30.40 firmware. I was confused cause the link he shared had that version but the google search gave me the prior version.

Anyone have experience with Destiny on the C6 or E6? Curious if the upscaling looks horrible or crisp at all with that title.
