LG 55" OLED TV - CS6 SERIES €990

Just be wary, its good practice to initially run Oleds at reduced Contrast and Brightness levels to avoid burn in.

Do not, I repeat not use Vivid or Dynamic picture settings, they are ghastly.

LG OLED55CS6LA - I'm waiting for this to drop. Here's a few links, might help prices right of 03-Apr. Arnotts/Brown Thomas the cheapest 😮:

waste of time, those forums are dead. the last 8 threads in it, going back 3 months only have 2 replies. keep posting here least it's active

If anyone is interested I have put a OLED55CS6LA, 55 inch, OLED, 4K on Advert. It's unopened and sealed. Basically the person decided it's too big for them. Cork/ West Cork Area

It was such a good deal it would be a shame to return it.

Fair play to you for trying to pass on the deal instead of returning.

I see someone on adverts reckons you should take 500 since it's "second hand" 😂

Now we have someone on here telling you they'll give you cost price.

Just to let you know if you get fed up with this nonsense you have 28 days from when you received this TV to return for free to Very.

659 plus 25 delivery or 759 plus 25 delivery depending on when you bought it.

No one ever offers asking on Adverts.

Well in my opinion being asked via PM would I accept cost price or even would you meet me in the middle is grand. Being told "I'll give you cost price" on thread is pushy and would make me sell to someone else or return it.

Just an FYI very.ie have only reduced to 1199 this time. Bit strange considering the new range of oleds are now out. I have alerts setup so if drops again I will post.

Folks just FYI Ive done some deep diving on the best settings for this TV and here is what ive found. Its not an exact science although you can buy calibration software or pay a calibrator to come to 0your home and get the very best results.

For 4K HDR/Dolby Vision I set OLED Light and Contrast both to 100 and Gamma to 2.4 (2.2 if bright day/content suffers black crush, boost black level to 55), for SDR content I set light and contrast to 85 and gamma 2.2.

I switched off all enhancements (tru motion etc) and set Real Cinema to On (adapts frame rate to content to minimise judder).

LG OLEDs except the 2023 model suffer auto dimming glitches plunging already dark scenes even darker. The workaround is an £8 service remote and carefully tweaking of 2 settings. Its risky as it could brick the tv and void your warranty so its upto you if you want to try it.

I was impressed with the virtual Atmos. Watching Empire Strikes Back i heard asteroids explode behind me. But activating my soundbar and rear speakers there was no comparison. If you can afford it and theres room, get some speakers, it makes a huge difference.

I have a PS4 Pro and apparently the best picture can be produced by activating HGIG.

One thing I had to get used to: until this TV i was used to everything having a strong blue tint, even whites, dont ask me why. So when you use the TVs native cinema/HDR Cinema/Dolby Cinema settings everything will look too warm. But its v accurate (they call it White D60 based on Hollywood colour grading standards). Now I love it and characters actually look healthier with natural skin tones).

If you want to create shortcuts to apps, hold down the zero button and you can assign apps to each other number. Holding a number will launch the app.

Avoid using manual pixel cleans, the tv has its own inbuilt clock triggering cleans if and when necessary. Overuse can damage it.

Burn in is still a risk but setting Pixel Move (Shift? Can't remember) to On means the screen imperceptibly moves the image one row horizontally/vertically randomly). Also there is a logo brightness setting to help minimise risk of persistent graphics like channel logos or game HUDs from casting a permanent shadow on your screen.

There are geniuses online who could really drill down into the details, LG crew and Hollywood insiders and home theatre pros who could optimise your tv to within an inch of its life. Its worth exploring r/LGOLED on reddit although the occasional snobbiness can be cringeworthy.

Also theres a smart drily funny dude Vincent Teoh who has multiple YouTube videos explaining options and showing benefits of certain settings and setups, I'd recommend him.

Finally go with your eyes. Like what you like. Ask questions from kind people (tech bros are embarrassingly condescending sometimes). If I can help at all let me know. I got this tv as a last minute bargain treat and i love it.

Uk mainland only. I suspect a Very.ie discount again soon. They've been changing the prices up and down. Hold tight.
