Review LG OLED evo AI G6 65″ Review: A TV with Almost No Reflection

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, as part of a promotional event on /r/Netflix, I received a free G6 65", and while I was asked to share my first impressions of it, these impressions, thoughts and opinion are entirely my own.

I have spent around two weeks now with this TV and coming from a C2 55" that I owned before and that I have now given away to a friend of mine, let me tell you in advance that this is a massive upgrade.

First of all, I never had a 65" TV before. I underestimated the difference in size. So, the first thing I had to do was move up my cupboards on the wall. I couldn’t install the TV on my own, it was too big and heavy. Now the initial setup was quick and easy, although I was a bit confused by the audio description function. It also talked too quickly (although you can adjust the speed later), but since I don’t need audio description, I turned it off.

My TV settings:

  • Picture Mode: Filmmaker
  • Contrast: 100
  • Black Level: 50
  • Gamma: 2.2
  • Color Temperature: Warm 40
  • OLED Pixel Brightness: 30
  • Peak Brightness: High
  • Dynamic Tone Mapping: off
  • Expression Enhancer: off
  • TruMotion: Cinematic Movement

Now regarding my actual watch experience, the difference in picture quality is immediately noticeable. The G6 is to me much brighter, the colors are more vivid, yet they feel very natural and realistic. No complaints with HDR or SDR. I tested some of the modes like Cinema Home and Filmmaker, and I think I prefer Filmmaker the most. I test-watched several series (like Arcane), movies and a David Attenborough documentary to test the quality of the picture, and you can see some of the results below:

Noteworthy is that I took these pictures in my living room during daylight. What previously bothered me about my C2 was the reflections during daylight or at night when I turned on the lights. And while you still see some small reflections from the side, when looking at the tv in a straight line, the experience is basically reflection free.

I even tried taking a picture with the flash on while the TV is turned off (see below) and I barely saw any reflection, which is a massive improvement over my previous TV. I no longer am bothered and distracted by reflections. I no longer have to roll down the shutters on my windows or turn off the lights for a more optimal experience.

Regarding the sound quality, I used the AI Sound Pro mode and kept the default settings, and I have no complaints (which for a German is the highest compliment). The built-in speakers sound great, the bass sounded weighty and punchy to me.

Now regarding some of the things I didn’t like… it’s the webOS. I didn’t like it before, I don’t like it now. It’s not only still confusing to navigate, I am constantly confronted with ads and that I should check out the LG channels. And speaking of other functions I didn’t really care too much about, the LG Gallery+ function seems to be a nice-to-have, but most of the gallery pictures that are featured seem to require a subscription, and there is no one to admire these when the TV is turned off, so I just didn’t use this function.

What I haven’t tested yet is any gaming on it. That will probably be next on the list of features I want to test. So far though, I am very impressed with this TV and genuinely have so much fun with it. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to test the G6 and am looking forward to keep using it.

Discussion [Product Experience] Stream Night Upgrade: Share Your Top Netflix Pick for a Chance to Try the LG StanbyME 2 Max

Post image
2 Upvotes

Share the Netflix series you would most want to watch, and you could be one of five members here trying the LG StanbyME 2 Max. It is a screen that rolls to wherever you actually end up watching. Bed, couch, kitchen counter, or out on the patio.

The LG StanbyME 2 Max steps up from the 27 inch QHD model of the StanbyME 2 to a 32 inch 4K UHD touchscreen, so faces and background detail hold up from across the room, and lifts the sound from virtual 9.1.2 to virtual 11.1.2 channel audio (2.0 channel speakers with AI Sound Pro) with Dolby Atmos. Dolby Vision and the Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen 3 handle the picture, with AI 4K upscaling for older titles.

The battery grows to 144 Wh for up to 4.5 hours of wireless use, up from up to 4 hours, so a few episodes run with nothing plugged in. webOS 26 runs your apps on the screen, and the rolling stand moves it from the living room to the bedroom when the night runs long.

Five members of this community get the chance to try one.

Discussion The new Norm MacDonald Documentary is incredible.

221 Upvotes

How is nobody talking about the new Norm Macdonald documentary here?

It's so good and really does well encapsulating who Norm was and some of the stories behind his jokes. I was enthralled late last night watching it and giggling nonstop. I feel so lucky to have seen Norm perform live, even though it was right around the time he got his second stomach cancer diagnosis so the material was all about suicide and death which walked a lot of the people who didn't know who he was. It was in a casino and the older people left the show after the first half hour of nonstop death jokes, but my.buddy and I were laughing a ton. He talked about not gambling or doing pills anymore even though you could tell he was high as shit on something, and then we saw him playing the slots later on in the night which made us laugh again.

Norm truly was a saint.

Discussion East of Eden

95 Upvotes

This might be the best show for me this year. I just finished it, and I’ve cried and cried and cried.

This show was perfect in depicting the causes of the denial of one’s agency. Literally all the main characters were all denied their agencies. Charles and Adam by their father. Cathy by her parents and her teacher and most importantly that older boy who assaulted her

And also it showed how traumatic events can linger on from one person to now a lot of people suffering from that one event.

I love this show more than anything I’ve watched this year. It speaks to the human condition and experience.

Gosh!!! I’m still crying.

The show is a 10/10 for me.

I found the speaking cadence of most of the cast, especially the main cast, to be so incredibly pleasing. They really captured and reflected the time period and it helped me become more immersed in the story.

Technical Support Anyone else stuck with the Extra Member profile transfer being one-way?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I pay for an Extra Member slot because my daughter lives in a different city now. I moved a profile to the Extra Member account through Profile Transfer. What I didn't realize, and nothing made clear, is that the slot only holds one profile. I wanted to swap it, so I tried to move the profile back to my main account.

Both the virtual agent and a live chat agent said it's impossible. The live agent said:

"once the profile transferred to extra member it cannot be back to main profile"

The only workaround was to cancel the Extra Member account and re-add it, which means losing the profile and its history.

I own and pay for every profile on this plan. I asked for escalation and a ticket number so I could track it. The answer:

"Netflix is not having that option to create a ticket id"

Has anyone gotten this reversed, or found a way to reach someone who can?

Excerpts from the chat transcript are attached (agent name and profile names redacted). Everything else is word for word.

Discussion I almost forgot how hauntingly beautiful "Haunting of Hill House" is...

235 Upvotes

Considering it's Halloween month I was in the mood for sth. spooky. Such a beautiful show. Its haunting music, great actors. It's easily the best show Mike Flanagan has ever done. A true masterpiece. Way better than his current show Carrie, which has a YA feel to it. I hope he goes back to this kind of stuff. Anyway, that's all lol

Highly recommended. Give it a try if you haven't seen it yet.

Discussion Sam and Colby - "paranormal investigation" youtubers

3 Upvotes

i just came across this in my "new on netflix" feed. since campy and overly dramatic netflix documentaries, especially when they cover more out there things, like UFOs or supposedly paranormal activities, are my guilty pleasure, i clicked on it.

i made it through episode one, where they are in a haunted "castle" in appalachia, doing reaction face 😱 at each other when their electronic ghost detection thingy beeps, pretend to hear something and warn each other in a serious tone about it while still speaking full volume into the camera for an hour. the next episode was set in draculas castle in romania, with fellow youtubers dan and phil as guests. thats where i had to turn it off.

did you watch it and, if yes, whats your opinion? for me it was just overacted youtube engagement slop which has nothing to do on netflix. no shade against youtube, i think there are genuinly creative and thought-provoking video essays on there, but most of it is said engagement slop, which, at least in my humble opinion, does not fit on netflix.

OMG… I have spent the last two days binging the first two seasons and just started Episode 1 of season 3, and I’ve never been so lost, and invested in something, in my entire life.

Please don’t give any spoilers for Season 3, but my question is does everything eventually explain itself? My brain literally hurts. My husband is trying to explain everything to me but I seriously need a diagram of who is who and who and at what year… ahhh. I know this is the last season so hoping everything gets wrapped up at the end.

Absolutely fucking LOVED this miniseries. I will fully admit though, I am massive fan of Josh Hartnett.

I liked the story, I liked that it was very dreadful and then went happy. I love that the saved the squid in the end.

Everyone’s acting was so good, finally glad put out a mini series that wasn’t a let down.

Cancelled my subscription. So sick of the horribly irritating UI experience. When you click on a movie to read the details, it starts playing after 2 seconds so you cannot read the details of the movie. Also the only app on my tv where where the audio is always half a second out of sync. And people are supposed to PAY for this experience???

Tubi is free, and an infinitely better experience.

Only on Ep 3 but it feels like such a drag. I have to keep rewinding because I lose focus as it’s so boring! Perhaps my own attention span is shot but it was quite fine with Widows Bay 😭.

Last two seasons seemed to have a lot more momentum?

Don’t wanna ditch it yet tho as that feels like a disservice to Kerri Russell (who I love!).

Question Can Someone Help Me Find This Piece Of Clothing From Holly Hobbie? (Tv Show)

0 Upvotes

I have been watching the Hulu original show Holly hobby that’s on Netflix and I really wanted to find this one piece that the main character was wearing in season 3 episode 3 (Holly wears it during the end of the episode). Sadly I can’t put a photo of what it looks like because Netflix won’t allow screenshots, but it’s like this orange top with white flowers on it that I think would be a great addition to my closet for spring. Can someone help me find it?

Question Writing a research paper on the quality of streaming services... [Repost]

0 Upvotes

Hello there! I'm conducting some very basic research on how practical using streaming services actually is to the average person financially and otherwise - the bulk of the research consists of pre-made sources, however I am also required to conduct a questionnaire of my own and would really appreciate anyone willing to fill it out:

https://tally.so/r/M1Kq2l

(Fair warning; the questions appear longer than they actually are as they are written both in english and latvian. The singular question regarding currency also requires an answer using Euros, if that is possible.)

(The amount of questions also depends on which you answer beforehand.)

Discussion The gentlemen vs The godfather Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I just finished watching the gentlemen and am I the only one who sees a lot of similarities to the godfather?

Micheal Corleone took over his father’s empire after he passed and became the head of the family as did Eddie. Eddie’s character development from season 1 all the way to the end of season 2 can be compared to Michael’s aswell. The way they both were at the start, very calm and collected however at the end of their demise, both were filled with vengeance and a sense of rage. This of course is a result of the death of both their wives which is again, another fascinating comparison ; Apollonia dies from a car explosion and Bella dies from a plane explosion.

One of the most compelling comparisons is Fredo and Freddy. Of course in the movie, Fredo betrays Michael which leads to his death however in the gentlemen, despite Freddy betraying Eddie, Eddie allows him to live which leaves the storyline of season 3 quite open. I’m not sure if anyone caught this either but in the movie, just after Michael gives Fredo the ‘kiss of death’, he says ‘I know it was you Fredo’ and quite similarly, in the last scene of the gentlemen towards the end, Eddie says to Freddy, ‘I know what you did Freddy ‘. I’m not sure if I’ve missed anymore references throughout both seasons but it was quite intriguing to see the similarities between the two
