Hopefully. I'd be very tempted to get this at around 5k. I'd probably jump on the one right below if it hit 3k.

how do you even hang a tv that's only 1/10 of an inch thick? Does it have screw holes or do you just stick it to the wall with 3M strips?

Lololol

But for such a thin tv, it does weigh quite a bit. 60lbs.

so you could stick it to the wall with 3M strips. 60lbs is nothing when its something that thing so there's no shearing force trying to pull it away from the wall.

The pedestal stand that houses all of the electronics and the speaker system folds up *behind the panel for wall mounting and LG has a very cool wall mount that puts the TV very tight to the wall for a low profile wall mount installation.

LG's 65G6 is actually 54.7 lbs.

*the speaker system actually sits directly below the TV flush to the bottom bezel of the TV. I have an animated gif demo on our site that demonstrates how this ingenious wall mount system works.

Wow that folding sound bar is gorgeous!! It got me wondering though, will wall mounting and folding the soundbar decrease the ability of the soundbar? Seeing how the sound will point downwards after its mounted.

Robert,

Do you know the specs on the speaker. Would have been cool if the speaker bar would handle the Dolby Atmos sound since the TV will handle Dolby Vision / HDR content from Vudu...

[Robert Zohn]

The sound bar and amps are 4.2 by Harmon Kardon. I think they said 50 watts per channel. It plays all surround sound formats downgraded to 2.1.

Thanks for the info. I thought I heard in one of the posted videos that it was 4.2 surround.

[Robert Zohn]

Well it actually is a 4.2 audio system, but it's not surround sound as it has no center channel.

So I call it stereo, but that's over simplifying what it really is and they do build-in 4 discrete power amps with 2 sub amps along with a built-in 4.2 speaker system.

Thank you!

Any news on these 2016 Oleds inputlag? Hope they are a little better than 2015 sets

Another thing. Wasn't Dolby Vision meant to be the premium HDR with a lot more than 500 nits? Seems strange these Oleds met all demands even if blacks is the easy part.

Any specifications out on basic HDR vs Dolby Vision? Only seen the UHD HDR specs with two choices.

[Robert Zohn]

No one will know input lag until the TVs are mass produced and in the hands of reviewers.

Not sure if Dolby Vision is the "premium" HDR format, but it is correct that is does call for the highest peak luminance. I don't think you need 10,000nit or want it in a low ambient viewing. OLED has the distinct advantage in all ambient light conditions of delivering pure black, which makes its peak lumanince value of 600nits have a much higher perceived brightness. So LG's remapping of Dolby Vision HDR's overall contrast ratio to the range the TV can deliver work beautifully with Dolby Vision content.

Specs are available for Dolby Vision and HDR10, the SMPTE spec.

Isn't it about time OLED got it's forum? Rather than it being a sub forum under new tech.

[Vriess]

Ordered the Eg9100! So.damn.excited. Been waiting for a tv like this since I first started with HD-DVD's. My library will have new life breathed into it! Can't wait to set it up!

[Robert Zohn]

Congrats! Enjoy your beautiful OLED TV for many years to come!

I agree that it should have at move up a level it. Currently it's hidden a bit.

[Sithlord75]

Bought myself the OLED 55EF950V just 2 weeks ago. Yeah it was pricey @ £2300 but after seeing one on display in a local hifi retailer compared to what else was on display it was definitely worth the extra £££. I'm very impressed with it, even though I haven't really had chance to have a good play with it.

Will probably look at getting it THX calibrated as well very soon to get the best out of it.

[Mr. Joshua]

I thought the price of the 65" G6 was going to be $6999 which now I see it is $7999... I'll be picking one up when it drops to $4999... I think the prices should fall since last years premium model dropped from $8999 to $4999
