Calling all 2016 LG OLED owners!

Thank you. So I turned it off on my TV last night and will now adjust the Apple TV picture settings to the 30Hz setting. Thanks again hopefully the static on the black areas of the screen will revert back to normal. Before I switched to the Apple TV, I was loving the picture.

Have you had any issues with watching sports? Football and baseball look good, basketball a little off. I tried to tweak the settings but still the same.

It depends on how you have your system set up. If you have a receiver at the heart of your system you must verify your circuit board supports 4K @ 60Hz. I know for certain my Krell Foundation does NOT. Supports only 30HZ as their 4K protocol was built to comply with HDMI 1.4. If your receiver supports, you should be fine. Alternately you could connect your ATV directly to an input on the LG OLED and bypass the receiver. I chose to leave my system intact and am happy with the picture most all of the time.

The primary issue I have with LG OLED is the way it processes and delivers Audio via Smart TV. I have optical out to my Krell and >50% of the time all I get is PCM 2.0! Infuriating! Tech has been out 3 times to house and they simply refuse to address what is a simple firmware fix. The settings falling out is the issue. When this occurs I simply go to ATV or Roku.

I have to say that my "Go To" player will be the ROKU Ultra my dealer gave to me so I could enjoy 4K with GOOD audio (Since LG refused to address issue). Roku outputs in DD+ and this is what Netflix streams. Apple states they support DD+, as does LG but all I get at best from LG is Dolby 5.1 and from Apple I get either PCM 5.1 (which is GREAT) or DD 5.1 - NOT nearly as dynamic as Dolby DD+ as experienced on the ROKU. I will use ATV for renting movies and for iTunes photos and such; but Roku has deployed the KISS principle with their box - Keep It Simple Stupid. DD+ is fine. Way, WAY better than 5.1as not compressed as much. If Apple addresses the issue of their "Best Available" being locked (in my case) at PCM 5.1 and updates this feature to DYNAMIC rather than STATIC and FIXED they'd offer us a better solution. It is STUPID and irritating as **** that I cannot listen to audio in my "Best Available" setting as Netflix streams ONLY in DD+ Again, I get NO SOUND so have to exit out, change settings to DD 5.1 and back to Netflix, dind the content again. Pain in the butt and absurd they oversaw this glitch. Until they fix it is Roku for me.

On a side note you may have noticed that there is GREAT support for YouTube in LG Smart TV for 4K and Dolby Digital (when it works properly - HA HA). Apple supports 1080P and PCM stereo ONLY for YouTube. Roku also fails to support Dolby for YouTube.

Cheers,

I have my system runner by through a Maranga receiver. Will have to look at the specs. My issue has been all black areas are static. Sound is fine. Initially problem was only with Netflix and HBOgo apps. But I think it is affecting movies too. Noticed on Wonder Woman movie as well.

Sorry, Marantz receiver, SR6010. Receiver is capable of 4K. I have tried the 4K HDR at 30hz, 60Hz and the SDR. The only way I can get rid of the the static on my screen is if I stay with the 1080PHDR. The TV tells me HDR is on with the 1080P setting and with the 4kHDR 30Hz, but the static is there with all of the 4K settings on the Apple TV. And the Apple TV will not work with the Ultra HD turned on. Any thoughts?

Well, your receiver clearly supports 4k HDR @60Hz so you should not have any issues whatsoever unless you somehow have a faulty input or substandard or defective HDMI cable. Your cable must be able to handle at least 18GB of signal pass through.

Prepared for the future, the SR6010 features an advanced video section that's fully compatible with the latest HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 specifications on all 8 HDMI inputs. With 4K Ultra HD 60Hz video, 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 21:9 video, 3D, and BT.2020 pass-through support on every input, the SR6010 is ready for the next generation of Blu-ray disc players, set-top boxes and other 4K Ultra HD sources. Certified by the Imaging Science Foundation, the SR6010 features a full suite of video calibration controls (for use by an ISF technician), along with ISF Day and ISF Night video modes.

I would suggest if possible that you plug the ATV directly into an HDMI input on the side of your OLED. If you get a clean picture on a known HDR 4K title with which you’re familiar, then you know you have an issue with your receiver- perhaps the input. Or it could be the cable. Which cable are you using? And I’m not sure what you mean when you say “And the Apple TV will not work with the Ultra HD turned on.” one either selects HDR or SDR so sorry, but I’m confused. Are you referring to receiver setting? If so can’t help you there. :-).

Bottom line, if you get a clean picture streaming SmartTv HDR 4k then it is likely an issue with your cable or HDMI input on your Marantz. Again, if the issue resolves after plugging directly into TV with the SAME cable then you have a bad input or possibly a defective ATV you should exchange.

Similar issues with 2017

Video issues w/ LG OLED65B7P TV Video issues w/ LG OLED65B7P TV

I have a 65 E6 P and no DV at 60 htz does not work. DV 30 htz works fine.

Hi. I have E6V. Run movies at 24hz. Dolby Vision. As they were mostly filmed that way.

Your E6 should work at 4K 60hz HDR and 30hz Dolby Vision. My 55 version works at these settings.

Currently the 2016 sets only receive 4K Dolby Vision at 30hz. Only the 2017 sets receive the 60hz signal. Not clear why.

4K HDR at 60hz works fine on my E6. DV is set at 30hz but works fine.

What HDMI cable are you using ?

How do you set the TV to the “4K HDR 30Hz” setting?

Thank you. DO you know if the same is true for the 2015 LG OLED? I am confirming my model, but I believe at the time the reviews on CNET said it was HDR compatible.
