Here's the proposal for the B6 that I've prepared for my wife:
Future proof (5 years) technology with OLED, 4K, real HDR, good for both gaming and watching movies.
Stand is reviewed as really sturdy, safer for the kids and fits well on our current set up without needing a trip to IKEA to upgrade our TV stand.
Simply a better TV for an insane value than waiting for the 55" KS8000 to drop to sub-$1000.
PayPal credit, pay half now and pay the rest off over the next six months.
No tax and no shipping cost.
I'm pretty sure she's already annoyed as all get out by my insane focus on making this happen since that deal was posted in here. I'll probably get a firm "no" accompanied with a blank stare during the entire discussion.
My standards for a TV have gone up a good bit in the past 24 hours, as a result of a trip to Best Buy to confirm my lust for the KS8000, along with seeing the LG B6 (to which my wife said, "Oh wow..") and realizing how far it was out of our price range, only to see this deal a few hours later.

Insane IQ on this TV now I've done my settings, my game settings are the best, can't find anything good for ISF dark/light right now.
Anyone tell me a quick way to turn off HDR? It's automatically enabling it which is fine but not for COD! The lag is quite noticeable on Ratchet and Clank...thanks!!!

Man, I'm happy I don't have to prepare a dossier in order to purchase a TV, lol.
Good luck dude! If i was your wife, I'd accept your points and give the go-ahead.
Don't leave us hanging man. What did she say??
B6 has gone back up to £2K at most place now in the UK - an indication of the 7s landing?
It'll still be a significant upgrade because the black levels and color reproduction is so good.So, it says delivery by the 13th - 20th of March, but dang do I want to play Breath of the Wild on it.
I know BOTW is only 900p, but coming from a low-end Phillips 1080p from 2011 (was a wedding gift), this is going to be an insane jump.
The only TV I owned before the Phillips was a 720p Visio from 2007.
Cod doesn't have hdr, so it won't be going into hdr mode anyway. Make sure you go into input settings and change the icon for the console to game console
I think I used your referral link. Didn't read all the way through your post before I ordered.
Oh, and she said "yes" at the understanding that I'm under some major debt to clean the house (I already do most of the cleaning anyway, as she usually distracts the kids so I can).
So, I'm pretty stoked on this set.

I would advise you to exchange your set. I do not have any uniformity issues.
Soooo... Samsung's Q7, Q8 and Q9 are coming this week. And still no word about these sets. :/
I wanna see the reviews. I'd be happy if they're a good upgrade from the KS8K/9K.
Yeh, im not 100% satisfied since i want to own the TV for 5-8 years like my Pioneer Kuro.
Basically, it cant be seen in any content like movies or games at all. I cant see it in any panning shots either. There is some banding when i look at the 5% slide, slightly darker in the centre, but again, not visible on any content.
Only if im on youtube and its completely white. Or the grey login screen when i log into windows - then i can see the slight yellow tint on the left couple of inches. So its not all bad, just in very specific scenarios in which for me colour accuracy is not important.
If you plan to do photoshop work, you cant own the 65", get the 55 and even then its just as good as it gets rather than perfect.
I predict 2017 will be similar really.
Id like to see your 5% slide. They all have issues.
The yellow tint on the side of mine i am willing to live with only because the rest of my panel is actually quite good.
Most have very bad vignetting on the right sides.
Again i dont notice it on any content except the yellow tint which is only on a forum/youtube.
Tinting is present in all of these sets to some degree. They are designed to be slightly brighter on the left and right extremes to combat vignetting, which is far more distracting a problem.
What does seem improved on the 2017 sets, judging by early looks at the Panasonic and Sony OLEDs is motion - Sony are putting in BFI and Philips are apparently using some kind of backlight scanning. All signs point to these 2017 models being damn fine televisions.

And a 55 C6 - most 55s look like this
On mine its almost like they over compensated the left side which gives me a slight yellow tint.
I pulled the trigger on the Adorama B6. I was trying to wait for the B7 or the new samsung qleds but that price was too good to pass up. Now i need to buy a new receiver.
This is awful, it's like having an edge-lit LED LCD TV. What's even the point of spending all the money on an OLED if you get uniformity like an LCD?
Keep in mind that the above grey uniformity pictures are highly overexposed. Viewed live a 5% grey slide is close to black and non uniformity issues aren't nearly as noticeable as in those screens. Unless you have bad luck with pronounced vertical bands those issues will be hard to spot in any actual content.
Just had my second B6 crap out on me.
Really not sure what to do now. It's a beautiful TV, but I've had two faulty units in the space of a month. I'm really worried about getting a third, not sure if I should cut my losses and just get a refund :/
Agreed. My own two personal tests are fast moving sports with rapid horizontal pans e.g. football and a 'grey' game like 'Inside'. If I don't notice bands on either of those I never will. I've not seen an LCD yet that passes my football test.
