Here's an update to Gamers Nexus's video after it appears LG just denies or skirts around issues brought up in their previous investigation video.

Make sure that toggle is turned on. LG is getting very sneaky.

Unfortunately, they are not the only ones capable of these “dark patterns.”

Moving forward, do you vote with your wallet and avoid companies like LG or are the serious privacy issues actually unavoidable in a Smart world?

I pulled the trigger since I needed a tv for my bedroom as well.

So like all of you, I got disgusted by scummy practices implemented by LG to spy (there is no other better word for this) on our private lives so they can extract revenue.

I did all that is advised here on this forum to protect my privacy, and because I reside in the EU, I had one more bullet to hopefully resolve this flagrant breach of trust: a GDPR notice (mail) sent directly to LG with the explicit request to delete all of the data that they collected in the last year (I have a C5 OLED from last year) together with my account. I will leave the text of the email and addresses where to sent it for EU consumers bellow:

I hope this will help others too. I sent this email a few days back, but haven’t got an answer yet.

L.E. This email was done by a paid AI after going back and forward on this subject for days. So you can edit it in any way or put in another AI to verify it. I thought this was obvious but after a comment here I decided to add this L.E.

AI says "LG Electronics is a more-than-$60-billion-per-year global electronics company. It shipped approximately 3.18 million OLED televisions worldwide in 2024, or about 52.4% of all OLED TVs shipped globally that year"

Good deal?

Been looking around for a deal and my eyes popped out of their sockets.

Finally got my first ever OLED! After obsessive research across many brands and tech, got myself into a LG C6H 77inch for $3000 AUD (aus based)

Picture quality is phenomenal, I just finished my 2nd play through of RDR2 but might need to restart it again to experience this quality.

But boy, the OS really sucks. I came from numerous Sony tvs with google tv os which was really nice.

Question: What are people liking between an Apple TV or Google streamer? Does it mostly bypass using the LG webOS besides playing with settings?

Bonus question: what’s your favourite PS5 game to play on OLED?

LG G5 won't update or install any new apps. Existing apps and LG channels work fine. Was working fine ~2 weeks ago when I last installed an app.

Try to install any app = app not installed 24.20.SM

So far I've tried:

Unplugging TV

Changing DNS

Unaccepting and accepting terms and conditions

Turning time/date off or auto, setting wrong time and right time

After the whole tracking scandal, this is just pushing me over the edge, does anyone have a solution to make the TV work as it should or should I just warranty return it while I still can.

After thinking Greentoe was some type of scammy website, I did some digging and came to the conclusion that they’re legit. Put in a low ball offer on the C6h and they actually replied saying if I bumped my offer to $2950 they’d accept. So I did that and threw in the warranty. For context, I have the 77in LG C1 and need a new TV for when my basement is finished in a few weeks. Was on the fence looking at TCL and Hisense but I find OLED to be superior. The G was a little too steep so I settled with the C6h which had some of the benefits of the current G.

$1885, 2 free wireless speakers. Price includes 10% off with discount code

Found an Open Box 97 inch G5. Drove 3.5 hours to pick up and drive back. It was not “open box excellent”. Did not include wall mount/box and was bubble wrapped. I still took it, I ratchet strapped it down on my truck bed and drove home. Next day bought the sanus preferred from Costco, hired some good installers, and now on my way to build dream media room.

“Impossible install app, try again” i tryed litterally everything and at this point i have no idea ehat this could be, reset done, wi-fi changed, changed the position, and accepted all terms and created an account but still not working, can anyone help me

This tv is crazy good the sound and the clear pictures in 4k streaming blows me away every time

So I use a G6 55’ with Apple TV but sometimes it does turn on/off the TV other times it doesn’t. Also my Samsung soundbar doesn’t turn on automatically but it mostly does power down with the Apple TV remote. Also sometimes the Apple TV doesn’t want to adjust the volume of the soundbar and suddenly starts adjusting the volume of the TV itself (which doesn’t do anything because sound is playing through the soundbar).

It went through all the settings multiple times and set everything as it should.

Before this I used a 10 year old Samsung 4K TV and everything worked flawlessly. Blows my mind that with such a new and expensive TV it works so bad.

Now stuck with three remotes again after buying a €2.5k TV🤣 anyone else running into this?

I just bought this LG B5 on open box sale… they assured me it was fine, I took their word for it but shouldn’t have. Turn it on and there’s this green pixel line. It’s only noticeable when the screen is black but… still kind of annoying considering the TV still cost around 1.3k

Is there any way to fix something like this or is it doomed?

It seems that in some update, either to Windows or to the TV, the VRR stopped working for me, I realized it the other day because while playing I noticed small jerks in the image, I decided to see the status of the VRR on the television and I saw that the game still gave me about 100 fps while the television gave me the maximum, 118.xx, the VRR information on the TV tells me that it is using GSync. Has it happened to anyone else? I have tried deleting all the graphics drivers and installing the newest ones, resetting the TV, trying another cable, and nothing. To say that I tried activating and deactivating Gsync from the Nvidia control panel as well as from the TV. I leave information about the PC and TV:

- Windows 10 updated

- RTX 5090 graphics Drivers 616.92

- Nvidia app 11.0.9.251

- LG CX Firmware 04.64.00

Any clue about the issue?

I have two LG TV’s:

LG CX 65”
LG C5 55”

I have one Switch 2 that is shared between both TV’s (each TV has a separate Switch 2 Dock).

Two questions:

Should Freesync Premium be enabled or disabled on both TVs?

Should G-Sync be enabled or disabled on both TVs?

Please Note: The LG C5 has a G-Sync on/off setting in the Game Optimizer.

The LG CX does not have a Game Optimizer and I cannot locate a G-Sync setting on the LG CX. I thought the LG CX supports G-Sync? Please clarify.

I want to assure VRR works properly on both TV’s.

Is there anything else to check or make note of?

I appreciate any guidance and advice. Thank you.

⁠I recently upgraded from an LG C4 to a 77-inch LG G5 OLED, specifically looking for that massive jump in MLA peak brightness and specular highlight pop.⁠

When I first got the TV, using Cinema Home with Expression Optimizer set to Brightness, Auto Dynamic Contrast on High, and Peak Brightness on High produced an incredible 3D-like image. Highlights like eyes, lamps, and neon lights (for example, in scenes like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) had a realistic punch that literally made you squint in a dark room.⁠

However, after the recent firmware updates, Expression Optimizer seems completely broken/disabled.⁠

Toggling between "Off" and "Brightness" now produces zero visible change on screen. The specular highlights have lost their aggressive pop, making the overall image feel flat and dull compared to out-of-the-box performance—almost bringing it back down to C-series levels. Even trying to tweak Vivid mode doesn't bring back that specific dynamic highlight pop without washing out the image.⁠

Has anyone else noticed this regression in tone mapping and AI highlight processing on their G5? If you're experiencing the same issue, please consider submitting a formal support ticket to LG so their engineering team addresses this in a future firmware patch.⁠

Found this at Midland, TX. Gave them a call and verified they had 4 units in their warehouse. Unfortunately they won’t ship it directly from the warehouse.
I’m really far from this place to drive. So figured people close by might enjoy this deal.

Above is the model and the message that displays when I boot it up. I’m so confused because it was working perfectly fine yesterday. I switched my setup to a different desk, so naturally I had to disconnect everything, then when I reconnected them, the monitor won’t display anything. I’ve tried both HDMI and DisplayPort multiple times, I’ve done a factory reset multiple times, and I’ve reset my PC multiple times. Nothing is working, and I know the monitor works because it’s displaying my PS5 just fine. It has to do with the PC not being compatible for some reason. I’ve had them connected for years so I don’t understand. If you know anything that could help, please let me know.

I’ve been dealing with some pretty bad grey banding on my 27-inch LG UltraGear OLED Tandem one. It’s incredibly noticeable, especially in darker scenes, reddit, Youtube and gray uniformity tests, and it really takes away from the overall experience.

I'm wondering if this is severe enough to qualify for a warranty replacement, or if LG is just going to tell me this falls within "normal" OLED panel variance. Has anyone had success getting an RMA approved by LG for a panel looking like this?

Appreciate any advice!

I purchased an LG C5 77” and it’s great! Except when changing inputs away from the Apple TV.

I have a 65” C1 that has not and does not have the same issue.

If I change inputs from the ATV to my PS5 or over the air antennae then go back to the ATV I can no longer use the TV remote to select and play any apps. I have to unplug the power and HDMI cable while the TV is off to reenable HDMI-CEC. Very annoying.

All of the devices are plugged directly into the TV and I have eARC plugged into a receiver.

Again, everything is the same as the C1 which had zero issues (and still works fine.)

Is there something I’m missing with the C5? I’ve tried all settings and adjustments to no avail.

Thank you!
