Hi Guys. Does anyone know this panel?
I got e-mail today from guy asking for calibration. I checked LG website, downloaded manual looked at it, but there is not even info about any picture adjustment, no picture modes, no options, nothing.
And Magic Remote scares me. Is any way to go around it?
If you haven’t seen my post about calibrating the LG EA9800 OLED, it will give you some things to look out for.
I got an infared remote emitter dongle for my iphone 4S called L5. It works with a free app. It is usable in a pinch and probably better than the magic wand remote, but the best thing would be to bring along a normal remote for another recent LG TV and see if it works. If you have to use the magic remote, hold it with both hands.
Thanks for your link Chad. I have a 980 to do tomorrow and a couple of 930s in the next few weeks. I have calibrated a 980 before but with a Lumagen Mini3d. Results were superb. Nevertheless, it’s with a bit of apprehension that I approach these next calibrations. I understand that there has been a substantial new firmware update for the 930(0). Do you know if this has improved performance of the calibration controls?
Hi Guys, I have a client with an LG55EC930V. He is desperately wanting to circumvent the ABL circuitry and has accessed the service menu. He has been playing with the Dimming option which appears to switch the ABL off. However, whenever he comes out of the service menu the off setting isn’t saved. So, I said I’d see whether anyone had any more info on this? Is it at all possible to circumvent the ABL in this or any other way? Btw, he doesn’t seem to care that switching ABL off might damage his TV.
Ok guys, I have a couple of these coming up for calibration in a few days. There have been recent firmware updates. So does anyone know whether the CMS is now fixed?
No way that I know of. Which is a shame, if he was really into the idea of having an ABL-free OLED, it’d be interesting to see what it did to the panel lifetime!
Re CMS, as far as I know, no, it is not fixed, and neither is the problem with the hue shifting at low APLs.
