I think that's sort of what HDMI-ARC is for.
You should be able to copy settings from one input to another rather than manually doing it.
HDMI Audio Return Channel is just to get the sound from the TV back to the amp without having to use another cable.You should be able to copy settings from one input to another rather than manually doing it.
LG don't generally give you the facility to copy settings from one input to others.

Calibration has definitely improved things.
Didn't realise though that the TV stores different settings for each input, so now I need to do it again for my blu-ray player and Humax Freeview box.
Who calibrated your set?Didn't realise though that the TV stores different settings for each input, so now I need to do it again for my blu-ray player and Humax Freeview box.
Normally a full calibration will cover all inputs (and webos/ streaming content).
On the earlier 950V model there's an option to copy the calibrated setting to all inputs - this might give you a better base if you need to start fiddling yourself.
If you're using an AV amp as a hub you're going to have to compromise and set the input up for the source you use more regularly or the source you find most important.

Myself and a mate who already had the hardware but wasn't using it. We're learning Calman as we do it!Normally a full calibration will cover all inputs (and webos/ streaming content).

The LG does have a copy feature, but it doesn't copy all settings and regardless we're going to redo it on all the inputs next week anyway.
I am thinking about buying this Panasonic 4K Ultra HD 3D Blu-ray Player, so I can watch upscale BR's on my new TV (also have Oblivion on 4k ultra BR)

However, the footprint is too small. It is only 199mm deep, and I wanted to place it on top of my AV receiver and underneath my turntable, but it won't fit, dammit. Here is my set up:
What would be the best solution, plonk it under the PS4?

Put blocks behind the BR player to hold up the turntable. But surely the PS3 is void of use? Also generally amps like to vent out of the top, so try not to have anything on top of them.
Cheers. I didn't have a lot of choice for amp placement, as the space between the shelves is quite tight at the top (It is much taller than even the HTPC). The record deck does sit almost an inch above the amp, which is more space than if it were placed lower. As soon as my old games I bought on PS3 can be transferred to the PS4 (Tomb raiders, Silent Hills, Resident Evils..), I shall remove the PS3. Until then, I still use it quite often.

I'm in the same boat at the mo and undecided as to which way to go. One of the big questions for me is curved/flat - I've seen several curved ones and got on fine with them but I'm not sure whether to stick with flat.
I think OLED55B6V is the flat version of OLED55C6V?
Also to muddy the waters Currys have the Samsung UE55KS9000 @ £1700 at the mo - a mate of mine has one and I was very impressed with that. Wondering if the £300 saving might be a false economy in the long run?

Considering what an OLED can do over an LCD, I'd want to be saving a lot more than 15% to lose those benefits.I think OLED55B6V is the flat version of OLED55C6V?

So......flat or curved then?
Flat or curved is a bit marmite. The anti christ for some. Me personally, I was after one of the 2015-16 version and I decided against it, HDR on that particular model not on all inputs and that decided the issue for me so it was a flat panel in the end. Where it was going to go in the room it would have been OK. I liked it and with OLED viewing angle being bonkers, it would have been OK.
However, this is purely a personal thing and something you have to square with yourself. It is a big chunk of loot and not one to reverse without the pocket getting a big hit. Make sure you go look at them.

Fortunate enough for a John Lewis and Richer Sounds not far away. Looked at a few and over a week or three, that is made sure I did not walk out after the first viewing with a TV. Whatever the type. Try to ask for a HD feed as well, off air aerial. Currys had big ads for something running on all TV's, when I asked to change it I was told that "yeah er no er......" "must be a switch around here somewhere".
They had the top end Samsung only showing Life of Pi. For obvious reasons, all the rest were ads.
Ended up in a small independent shop that were very accommodating in providing different feeds to see the different resolutions.

The KS9000 is complete crap compared with the OLED B6/C6. I think OLED55B6V is the flat version of OLED55C6V?

I watched a film about 3D printers on Netflix last night on my LG B6 and there were a few scenes I notice quite bad posterization.
I checked my settings and tried different gamut settings but didn't make much difference. I also noticed that the settings I had entered while in Live TV mode were different in Netflix mode, so it seems that settings can be customised for every source (Netflix, iPlayer, Amazon etc.), not just the physical ports (HDMI1, HDMI2 etc.). Is that correct?
Searched the AVForum and AVSForum and found a few owners complaining about the posterization but no definitive answers.
Is this something B6 owners here have noticed?
