Calling all 2016 LG OLED owners!

It appears that yes, they do, the even the VIP reps at LG are relatively devoid of knoweldge regarding this tech iCal conundrum. I spoke with an agent today, in fact who promised to get back to me and , as usual, did not. But I found this, and it points to YES, most likely. http://4k.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-4k-tv-refresh-rates-in-one-post- 15371-2/

You see, when it comes to the video presented on your 4K TV’s screen, details beyond those already in the source video itself can’t actually be added to the picture by the TV display itself. Furthermore, for the vast majority of native 4K and other movie, TV show and streamed sports or documentary content you’re going to watch on your 4K TV from any source, HD or 4K, the actual refresh rate of the source footage itself is never going to be greater than 60Hz, at last so far as far as content transmission technology is concerned.

With some footage, especially movie content from film reel sources, the frame rate equivalent of refresh rate might even be 24 frames per second, which are upconverted to 30fps for TV viewing and then shuffled around in certain ways so that they display at the equivalent of a 60fps frame rate that will match the 60Hz refresh of most digital content.

4K TVs on the other hand offer actual, totally real native refresh rates that in the vast majority of cases are either set at 60Hz or 120Hz (60 or 120 images, or frames per second in essence). With older HD TVs, the common refresh rate tended more towards 60Hz or less (with many models offering 50Hz real refresh rates) but because 4K TVs are widely considered to be a sort of premium home entertainment technology, 60Hz quickly became the hallmark of only the more economical or smaller ultra HD models and pretty much all premium 4K TVs from every major brand now offer native 120Hz refresh.

I can tell you that I know for certain, 100%, that in my current configuration by which I run my HDMI out from the ATV 4K to my Krell Foundation, I CANNOT view at 60Hz. But I CAN successfully use the “4K HDR 30Hz” setting without issue. My Krell tech advised I connect directly to the TV to bypass their circuit board which was built at a time to support the only platform available at the time when HDMI 1.4 was the dominant technology. It supports 4K at 30Hz but not 60Hz. You’d of course need an optical line running out from your TV if, like me, your pre-pro resides at the center of your system. As for me, I don’t know that I’d see the difference. It’s hard to discern a visual difference between 30 and 60Hz unless one is really into gaming, fast action sports and some action movies. It even at that, based on what I’ve read and my experiences the disparity is nominal.

I have the same issue with a 2016 LED LG. Model 75UH8500. Dolby Vision 60HZ isn’t an option. I called LG and they said it runs DV at 120HZ, but that’s obviously nonsense. To boot, I can’t email LG through their website. The submit button doesn’t work.

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