1) No More 4K Blu-ray Frame Skipping
2) More Accurate PQ EOTF Tracking
3) Finer TruMotion Controls
Being a self-emissive display, the LG OLED55B6V already delivers some of the best SDR (standard dynamic range) images on the market thanks to true blacks, vibrant colours and wide viewing angles. But the latest firmware upgrade has truly enhanced the set’s HDR performance: PQ EOTF tracking was more accurate; shadow and highlight details were better preserved (once the correct settings were applied); and 24fps frame skipping from 4K Blu-ray playback had been fixed.
While some issues remain, these improvements now make LG’s 2016 OLEDs a very credible alternative to flagship FALD (full-array local dimming) LED LCDs for HDR viewing, especially when you take into account OLED’s ultra-precise pixel-level illumination which is completely devoid of haloing/ blooming artefacts, and the B6′s Dolby Vision compatibility.
Above all, this firmware release showed that LG is not resting on its laurels despite owning the best commercially viable large-sized display technology today – the company’s engineers are constantly working on improving picture quality based on constructive feedback from technical reviews and shootout events. Following a recent price drop to below £2000, the LG 55B6V represents incredible value for money given its superb image quality.
