When I called LG and asked them directly before I bought the set, they told me twice (over chat and phone) than my model reached 1000 nits in HDR and was a true 10-bit panel. It's been proven that the set does not come anywhere close to 1000 nits, and that leaves me to doubt the rest of what LG told me. Even now if you ask them, they will tell you it's 10-bit. There was quite a bit of discussion about the set on AVS and whether it was 8-bit or 10-bit. Based on what I've been told and screenshots from the service menu, I believe it is in fact an 8-bit.

My Samsung 6300 was a 10-bit panel but it still didn't have wide color, and I think that's a big reason UHDs looked like shit on it. I'd definitely make sure before investing.
