LG Electronics OLED65E6P Flat 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV (2016 Model)

Update 01/20/17- It is official, I finally purchased an Oled65E6p! As expected, completely gorgeous TV which excels at everything I throw at it. Few observations now as an owner: 1) I've noticed no issues with blurays being up converted on this TV, and as a 3D fan, I am EXTREMELY happy with the turn out of 3D compared to my 2012 LG LED. There is an Auto setting with 3D on these models which I assume change settings scene by scene, eliminating some of the ghosting I had on my previous model. Avengers 2, Civil War, Jungle Book all look amazing in 3D on this TV. 2) I've bought a few 4K HDR movies during black Friday and tried a few on my Xbox S. To be honest, I feel that most of the bluray versions of the 4k movies I bought look about the same, I have a hard time distinguishing between the two unless I pay close attention. Though not all 4k movies are HDR (and I will definitely not replace all my blurays to 4k), there are select 4k HDR movies that just seem perfect for OLEDs. For instance, movies such as Mad Max Fury Road and The Martian with a wide range of colors really stand out on this TV. I noticed on Mad Max the improved resolution with 4k, but it wasn't until I saw explosions and lightning (the dessert storm chase scene) that I was truly impressed with the TV's HDR capabilities. Basically, pick and choose your 4k HDR movies since not all really take advantage of the TV's abilities. 3) I had a hard time getting my Xbox to "recognize" my TV as HDR capable. I tried different HDMI cables, restarted the TV and Xbox, and was still not able to play 4k discs. I finally realized that you need to go into settings under General (not picture settings), and turn ON HDMI ULTRA HD DEEP COLOR for whichever HDMI ports have a 4k capable device connected. This solved my issue with playing 4k discs and getting my XBOX to recognize my TV as HDR. 4) The plastic brackets holding the TV to the stand break pretty easily. I can see a hard rocking motion or an earthquake cause the TV to break away from the stand. Not a problem since I mounted the TV but an observation to earthquaks proof your TV if possible. 5) I will be writing a review on the 2017 Oled models (which look fantastic), and though they do have improved HDR features, wider color gamut, and improved peak brightness, unlike 2015 to 2016 where 2016 signature Oleds were clearly superior, 2016 models are a great choice even after seeing the 2017 models.ORIGINAL REVIEWAs a big follower of OLED technology for several years now, I was almost 100% sure that I was going to buy the EF9500, which I almost did during the Holiday season of 2015. But like any electronic, the most important question to ask is "will it worth it to just wait until next year?". This question kept me curious to wait until CES 2016 just to see if LG had anything really worthy up their sleeves. Turned out that LG did have something worthwhile to show to the electronic world with the new 2016 signature line of OLED TVs. Although nothing would make me happier than having a 65" OLED of my own right now, patience for the right TV has kept me from making an $10,000 investment in Oled a few years ago when the technology was just taking baby steps. Patience is also what's going to get me a great deal on the 65E6P this holiday season. Along with the rest of the 2016 signature Oleds (G6, E6, B6, C6 all share the same video processor and specs), this Oled is THE TV you've been waiting for, and if you were on the fence on just buying an older model for a steep discount, allow me to explain why I feel its worth the wait to buy a 2016 Oled instead.I have looked into specs for both the 2016 and the 2015 lineup, and it all boils down to one simple question. For the price (above $2,999), am I getting a TV that is future proof? When the EF9500 was released, no one can deny that it wasn't amazing to look at. Compared to the EG9600, it got rid of the curved screen, and it included all three HDMI 2.0a & HDCP2.2 ports that would allow for UHD HDR content through HDMI (not just apps) which made me feel like it was future proofed at the time. Then the price dropped from $6,999 to $5,999, to $4,999, (I've even seen the 65EG9600 for $3500 on Ebay as a daily deal) so I was tempted to buy and came close. So why should you wait to buy the E6 instead? Simply put, the Oled technology in the EF9500 (also EG9600) will not be able to keep up with UHD players and UHD content hitting the market in the coming years in terms of ability, and in terms of the level of maturity in the OLED technology itself.To further elaborate on the subject, as another reviewer for the G6 2016 Oled did, I'd like to refer to a great article from tvevaluate.com with did have some great comparisons between the 2015 (EF9500,EG9600) and 2016 lineup (G6, E6, B6, C6) to help explain what the EF9500 can't do well.1) The 2016 Oled lineup features ColorPrime Pro technology allowing them to display 99% of the DCI-P3 expanded range of colors for better true to cinema visuals. The EF9500 and EG9600 models only cover less than 90% of DCI-P3 which affects their abilities to truly recreate cinema type visuals and colors. Blacks are still on par and similar on all models.2) The 2016 Signature models meet the criteria for “Ultra HD Premium” which requires at least a 540 nits peak brightness and less than 0.0005 nits black level. On the other hand on some calibration tests the EF9500 and EG9600 could be pushed to the upper 370 nit level range, but still not on par with the 2016 Lineup. Brightness levels may not come close to some 2015-2016 TV models from other reputable brands such as Sony and Samsung which can reach close to 1000 Nits or even more. However, LG's Oled's ability to decrease black levels in individual pixels to virtually off levels while displaying rich and vibrant color images creates enough of an image contrast to create superb HDR images and video. Athough HDR was added by a firmware upgrade on the EF9500 and EG9600 models, the increase in brightness in the 2016 signature lineup and wider DCI-P3 color range of 99% changes HDR and UHD video on an LG OLED from a Gimmick, to a industry competitor.3) Speaking of HDR and keeping up with future standards, one of the reasons I held out on OLEDs each year was the eventual introduction of HDMI 2.0a & HDCP2.2. Originally, 4K content was possible with the older HDMI 1.4 but only at 24-30fps. HDMI 2.0 then came out and has become a standard on all 4K TV's which allowed 4k content to be played seamlessly at 50-60fps. Then out of nowhere, this thing called HDMI 2.0a and HDCP2.2 becomes a standard, and older (and still very decent) 4K TV's became outdated. What is HDMI 2.0a? It's the ability for UHD content to display content in HDR. HDCP2.2 is the copy prevention technology standard moving forward to prevent illegal copying of 4k content. If your TV doesn't have HDCP2.2 embedded into it's connection, (even if it had the ability to) your content will not play to its full potential. As stated before, through a firmware update the 2015 EG9600 was able to play HDR content but only through the third party applications like Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. The HDMI ports were all 2.0 and not HDCP 2.2 which meant future UHD players with the ability to play content in HDR would not work through HDMI. The EF9500 came out later in the year and actually included all three HDMI 2.0a/HDCP 2.2 ports. The 2016 Lineup includes a total of 3 (up to 4 on the higher model) HDMI ports all of which are HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 compliant. The difference with the 2016 models is that they don't just display HDR, they execute it well. Simply having the HDMI port doesn't mean anything is the design and ability of the TV can't showcase the content however. This is where the E6 and all the other 2016 OLEDs impress. The combination of the 2016 Signature lineup's increased brightness and color range, creates a new level of vibrancy and authenticity to UHD video content. These improved capabilities have also made the 2016 signature lineup compliant with HDR (High Dynamic Range), HDR10 (2015 EF/EG are not compliant), and Dolby Vision formats (2015 EF/EG are not compliant). These are all important standards of UHD that Netflix, Amazon, and Movie Studios are incorporating into movies and TV shows that are available now, and in the future. Gizmondo wrote a great article on the comparison and extremely improved visuals of Netflix's Daredevil with HDR (Dolby Vision to be exact) on a 2016 Oled when compared to the 4k TV he already had, which just means I'm going to rewatch both seasons when I do get the TV :-)Between the comparison of 2015 and the 2016 lineup, and keeping in mind the progress made in the last few years to elevate 4K content and UHD content, I realized that a shift was made in the entertainment industry from not only focusing on acquiring a higher resolution (4K), but to display video content to near flawless levels. The goal being to bring you elevated visuals straight from the imagination of movie makers, directors, etc. in a manner that balances fluidity, contrast, and color. This is where HDR comes in. And why is HDR so important? Because HDR is like a composer that pushes every visual component of your TV to play gorgeous and fluid visuals. It brings out light where it needs it, pushes black where it should be, and coordinates the color spectrum in an image with an end result that can be described as "balanced, natural, and life-like". The future of TV is not just about the higher resolution, but about what's behind that resolution. The downfall with the EF9500 (and the EG9600 for that matter) is that what it visually displays, it does it well, but where it matters in regards to UHD HDR, HDR10, and Dolby Vision, "well" won't cut it in the near future. With an improved color range/spectrum and brightness levels the 65E6 can really make UHD HDR content justice. For those still on the fence on whether or not to go 2016, I suggest finding an in store display 65G6 from one of the available locations on LG's website (I went to a Best Buy in Los Angeles) and see the comparison for yourself. To me, there was NOTICEABLE difference in color and brightness when compared to the 2015 models, and if the content is HDR capable the distinctions were even larger.For the Price, the 65E6 is my choice between the 2016 Oled Lineup. Its Flat like the B6 ($5,999) model, but like the higher end G6 ($7,999) it has the "Sceen on Glass" look for credit card thin profile. Unlike the G6 model, you do lose the Harmon soundbar/Wall mount combo, and lose one HDMI port, but I already have a soundbar so I'd rather save the $1,000. Starting at $6,999, this is the price that the EF/EG 65 inch models started off at last year. As Black Friday approaches, I'm counting on the same discount, and am planning on getting this TV at the $4,999 price range. FYI pictures are from the instore G6 65 in model from bestbuy, but the E6 looks similar minus the soundbar, and you can see the screen on glass look I’m talking about.This year, LG was able to break the standard of what a home OLED TV can really do. I am choosing the 65E6 OLED TV for my household because for the price, you're not just paying for a TV that looks good, you want a TV that hits a homerun for everything. Because in that case, there are plenty of television larger than 65" and cheaper than $3,000 that can make current Bluray HD content look "good to great". But unlike the transition from DVD to Bluray, Bluray to UHD standards now go above simply reaching a desired resolution and are now focusing on how that content is being visually displayed. Every 4K television before 2015 attempted a guess at what the future of TV would hold, but very few were future-proofed for what is yet to come in the next five years. So take it from someone who has been price checking and following Oleds for years, the 2016 LG OLED lineup successfully achieves the perfect balance between, OLED maturity, technological ability, and price that I and many others have long been waiting for. So if the price hasn't stopped you and you want the very best, look no further than the 2016 OLED lineup.UPDATE 04/13/16- I have recently come across a CNET article which goes over HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR more in depth, and I want to share some information for those on the fence of buying a new TV of any brand in the next coming months. When the signature line was announced, LG stated that their 2016 Oled Signature line was both HDR10 and Dolby Vision capable, this I thought had more to do with capability rather than actual hardware. As the CNET article explained, VIZIO and LG are the only major TV brands at this time to support both HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR on their newer TV's (Vizio will add HDR10 through a firmware update). HOWEVER, Samsung and Sony have pledged support for only HDR10. Unlike HDR10 which can be downloaded through a firmware update, Dolby Vision is only capable in TV's that have their Dolby Vision Chip imbedded inside the processor of the TV. Which means that is your TV isn't Dolby Vision capable from the beginning, it won't ever be. At this time, all 4k HDR Blurays are HDR10 and all UHD 4K Players are also HDR10, with neither supporting Dolby Vision at this time. However, most of the Dolby Vision content is coming from online streaming from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Vudu to name a few. As the CNET article also explains, Dolby Vision and HDR10 act differently on how the video content will be displayed in HDR, with some studios, directors, and producers showing a preference for Dolby Vision for some content, and HDR10 for other content. From what Netflix and Amazon have explained, shows that are HDR capable may be available in either HDR format which means that your TV or the streaming service will choose whichever HDR format looks best on your TV, or whichever they are only capable of. If a show was made in Dolby Vision and not in HDR 10 however, you're out of luck if its not an LG or Vizio. From what the Article explained HDR10 is open format which means more user friendly, but the HDR settings are static and don't change throughout the Movie/TV show whereas Dolby Vision might take some more time to work with, but it has the ability to adjust HDR from frame to frame which sounds great. Dolby Vision is also heavily backed by Google if that means something. Either way, HDR10 and Dolby Vision are just becoming known by most people, but it's important for those on the fence for either an LG, Vizio, Samsung, Sony, or other to understand what their TV is, or isn't actually capable of before buying.

I got my new LG 55 OLED E6P yesterday.Once set up properly the picture is great.If I were rating this product solely on the quality of the picture I would give it a 4.7 our of 5. There is still a little pixelation in high-speed scenes which drops it from 5 to 4.7.Because of the numerous defects and deficiencies noted below I cannot give it more than a 3 out of five as an overall product score.There are many serious downsides to this product that you should be aware of before you buy it.Horrible, Terrible DocumentationThe instructions that come with the TV are vastly incomplete and essentially worthless. I’ve received longer manuals with a new toaster than came with this TV.There is no CD manual included and no reference in the paper materials to any on-line manuals. I located the on-line HTML manual myself via a Google search and even it is terribly incomplete. The on-line manual doesn’t even have an index entry for “HDMI”!Essentially there is zero proper documentation for this product.On a scale of one to ten the so-called manuals are a “1.” You had better be reasonably technically experienced to set up this product OR you will need to hire someone to do it for you.Initial Picture QualityOut of the box the picture quality is poor. It is contrasty, over-saturated and the flesh tones are distinctly shifted toward the orange. After a lot of trial and error (again, with no decent manual) I managed to get a very good picture by (1) pressing the “gear” icon on the remote; (2) selecting the icon showing three dots in a vertical line (“Other Settings”) at the bottom of the on-screen menu; (3) selecting “Picture”; (4) IMPORTANT– Select “Smart Picture Mode” and turn it OFF; (5) Select “Picture Mode”; (6) run through each of the picture mode choices – standard, vivid, theater, game, sports, etc. and pick the one whose picture looks best to you. For me it was “game”; (7) adjust the picture details to get what you think is the best looking picture. For me it was: Contrast 80%; Brightness 50%; Sharpness 34; Color 59 and Tint 0.Final Picture QualityAfter manually adjusting the settings the picture quality is excellent. Bright, clean, sharp, deep.One warning though. There is still pixelation in high-speed scenes. You notice it in things like a cooking show where the camera focuses on the batter being beaten in a stand mixer. When the mixer speeds up you see pixelation in the image. It’s not terrible but it is still there.I expect I’ll see it in any scenes where enough things are moving fast enough to overwhelm the processor’s ability to show a perfectly clear picture.The set has a screen-saver function that kicks in if you’re using any of the on-screen menus and you don’t press a button after about 30 seconds. It had an annoying habit of blanking the screen as I was trying to enter the password for my wi-fi system. It turns out that if you press any of the remote’s number keys the menu reappears but it can be a bit frustrating if you’re 10 digits into entering a 12 digit password and the screen goes blank.No Computer Wi Fi AccessIt turns out that you can only access your computer over your Wi Fi network if you have installed the Intel “WiDi” software on your computer. There are no instructions on how to do this. You have to use Google to search for it then download it then install it. I would guess that half the people who purchase this set will be stopped in their tracks right there. But I persevered.I have a good quality iCore 7 desktop, 16 GB RAM, with Win 7 64 bit installed. The Intel software will not run on it. All attempts to install it were met with a message from Intel that some unnamed wi-fi component was incompatible with the Intel software.Since my wi-fi works fine with a Lenovo laptop, a ROKU, a Kindle, a gen-1 iPad and a second desktop and the wi-fi devices themselves that are connected to the servers are standard models purchased through Amazon, I place the blame squarely on the Intel software. Apparently LG never investigated the level of compatibility of this software with a wide range of computer systems, leasewise created and furnished their own software to assure that their TV would actually connect to the user's systems.LG does not offer any work-arounds or other alternatives. You either run this particular Intel software on your server or you’re out of luck.If you cannot install and run the Intel WiDi software on your server then you cannot access the Internet through this LG TV. If you care about seeing the Internet or the files on your computer on this TV then try to install the Intel software BEFORE you buy this set. If it doesn't run, look into a Samsung.Viewing Your PhotosI regularly connected my Panasonic camera to my 2007 Samsung with an HDMI cable. The Samsung remote interacted with the camera to move forward, back, zoom, etc. Not so the LG.While I can connect the camera and display a photo on-screen, the remote will not interact with the camera so I have to sit on the floor in front of the TV and manually press the camera’s next and last buttons to view my pictures.There is a work-around. Put the camera’s memory card into a USB adapter and plug the USB adapter into the TV. You can then use the remote to view the pictures, though the USB interface is much slower than the HDMI interface so there is a half second lag between the time you press the “next” button on the remote and the next image appears.Other SettingsYou will need to go through all the other choices on the set-up screens and pay attention to the on-screen explanations. Again, there is no manual to help you. There are no step-by-step instructions. Nothing. Just trial and error.HDMIThe first three or four HDMI connectors will accept high speed and the rest won’t so plug your blu-ray payer into one of the first ones.SoundI was underwhelmed by the Harmon Kardon speakers. They’re probably better than the speakers on a low-cost TV but they’re not great. Maybe I’m spoiled by the Yamaha sound bar that I used on my old Samsung. I turned the LG’s TV volume control to “0” and I now exclusively use the Yamaha sound bar instead.Summary -- This product can deliver a great (but not perfect) picture with a lot of trial-and-error adjustment but LG has not paid much if any attention to ease-of-use in the areas of instructions, manuals, or Internet access.

I saw this in a retail store and was wowed, especially in comparison to other TV's and bought on-line. Easy to install except had a real challenge getting it to recognize/handshake my Marantz SR7005 receiver. After 2 weeks of research and trying many options, I'm not sure why the picture finally started showing through the receiver from my Blue Ray player and Mac mini, but it did and...wow...what a stunning picture! Great functionality to be able to jump onto Netflix or even search the web right from this LG TV.

This TV is everything it's hyped to be. The picture quality is drop-dead gorgeous, 3D rendering is impeccable and 4K movies like The Martian and Hacksaw Ridge or the documentary Planet Earth II in 4K look absolutely amazing. It's decidedly not cheap but it's worth every penny for the discerning home theater enthusiast.

!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect product, it works very well

Great tv , but it's a american model , so it does not work with Canadian cable boxes , plus once you buy it you own it or to return it you will be charged 30% restocking fee plus shipping to return it. But besides that you will be impressed with the quality and performance of this tv, you get what you pay for and this is a top of the line oled tv.

Purchased this TV but is a US model that does not allow the country code to be set to Canada, so it does not sync with Bell Sat or any Canadian service. Re menu downloads etc
