I mean I don't have that device so I can't be sure since it's not something I've used... but it looks like you've entered some names into the block list and then set it to never block anything.
Yeah, SOLDIER you need to set keyword blocking to always
Fuuuuuck I updated my B6 last week, I'm in Canada.
Am I screwed? Last page sounds reassuring but I want confirmations because I still have to pay 1300$ on the thing and if they really dropped the absolute black I'll do everything I can to downgrade it to its previous version.
I figured that was the case. I just didn't want to enable something by mistake that would mess up my router.
Anyway, I still get the update notification. Is there a specific website string I should be blocking?
So did the B6 series get affected by the DIM HDR update as well?
I know that it was always dimmer than the c/e series but I am reading mixed stuff online some say that it is and some say it isn't and my tv keeps annoying me to update... Otherwise I'll just block LG's update servers in my router.
The B6 got dimmed in a much earlier update than the other models. The non-dimmed firmware goes way back to pretty much when the HDR game mode was first introduced. I think someone uploaded it to avsforums message boards, but I don't know how much luck people have rolling back to it.

Yeah, I tried to play Infamous: Second Son with HDR on my B6 a month or two ago and it was unplayable, because it was so dark. I was wondering if I was using the wrong RGB setting, but switching between limited and full didn't make a big difference in that case. As soon as it got dark in-game, you couldn't see much in the non-lit areas. Even with dynamic contrast it wasn't that great.
That said, I'm still not sure if everything it setup correctly on my end. I used the settings from the DF video, but it hasn't been calibrated. Even then I wouldn't say that I'm entirely happy with the settings from DF video. At the time I couldn't find any other guide, though. I'm on 04.31.12 from May.
Infamous SS has one of the worst HDR implementations imho. While the specular highlights look really nice, all the darker shades are crushed to hell and back. The developers later added some additional contrast and brightness options which help a bit, but the game still crushes a lot.
I made a repo with the LGDTVUpdater preconfigured to downgrade B6 models from North America. I bought my TV in Canada so I can confirm it works for Canadians.
I credited all the people I remember reading info from to make the repo, including users earlier in this thread so thanks again guys!
Hope this helps some people in here. I already posted it on the AVS forums and it help a few people there.

Just got the B6 out of no where during a trip to Best Buy. Open Box 1 week, 65'' - $1,500. This is a huge thread, can somebody sum up what I need to do to get this in optimal shape as far as settings, firmware etc? Should I not upgrade to the newest version? Have yet to turn TV on at the house, still getting stuff plugged in.
Basically, don't update if you get a prompt. That's it, lol. Hopefully, it's not on 5.x.xx
Doesn't the update provide reduced lag and HDR improvements? Also are there certain ports I should be using? Just have a direct box and PS4 pro at, although I may try my PC.

Added those, still getting the update notification.
Pretty sure I'm doing it right this time: I copy/pasted the links, checked ”always" as a block option, hit apply.
It provides raised blacks. No point going past 04.31.20 if you can help it. In the TV OT/AVSForums, you'll see multiple people trying to downgrade from the latest 5.xx.xx firmware.
All ports are fully capable. No need to use a specific one. Just enable HDMI Deep Color for anything that will utilize HDR.
Your router very well may suck, unless you have the TV in DMZ or something crazy. That absolutely stopped it on my Sophos.
My UK unit also just started asking if I want to update. Is this the one to avoid? I started to wonder based on some conversations here if the update people were unhappy with with the dim hdr game mode was what us EU folks have experienced for a while now.So is 05.30.03 one of the bad firmwares? Just popped up on my German unit and I'm not going to touch it due to potential raised blacks.

I'm on 05.30.10, blacks are as inky as ever.
It's the dim HDR Game mode that's the problem for me. Not sure if that was because of the latest firmware or an older one.
Either way, don't update your TV.
You have an E6 though? I think they're discussing the B6.

There was a Youtube update on my C6. I don't know what it was for. I was hoping it for support of HDR, but when I load up some youtube HDR videos.. nothing differet.
Picture Mode options just show the usual settings. Not the ones you get if content was in HDR.
Yeah, same. Was hoping it would finally get the HDR update.
Someone said only the G6 has an SoC capable of delivering YouTube HDR out of the 2016 models. Is that true?
I have a 2017 B7A. Are these HDR problems occurring in these newer sets? I'm considering disconnecting the TV from the internet
Yes G6 has the required 10-bit VP9 decoder that other models don't.Someone said only the G6 has an SoC capable of delivering YouTube HDR out of the 2016 models. Is that true?

Yes. Dont update past 03.50.xx
I doubt that your TV has the latest FW installed.
And then there's always the option to downgrade (search this thread for guides).
Will let you know tomorrow when I get it from Amazon!For you E6 users lucky enough to score an SNES Classic...recommended picture settings?
note: not interested in CRT settings. I like my classic games sharp and crisp.
He asked for the 2017 set. Can't downgrade c7 b7 e7
Is that so? I have downgraded my old E6 several times and assumed that the same method would work on a 2017 set.
Sucks if that's true.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Right now I can't do shit on the TV. The remote that came with it is incompatible. I need a AN-MR650 and the remote that came with the TV is AN-MR650A. Some buttons work but the "OK" button does not, and so I can't do anything but look a the store demo :/. Bought LG Universal and that didn't work either, so going to have to order the 650 directly from LG.
