About the LG OLED55E6P
LG's 4K OLED TVs: In a class by themselves
LG's 4K OLED TVs: In a class by themselves
It's almost impossible to get experts to agree on anything. Yet virtually every reviewer, journalist, and videophile who's seen one of LG's 4K OLED models has declared it to be the best TV picture they've ever seen. The 55" OLED55E6P is part of LG's 2016 4K OLED lineup, and it demonstrates how LG continues to improve and refine their OLED technology.
Not familiar with OLED? It's the most advanced screen technology currently available. We have some of the top-performing 4K TVs coming through our Lab all the time, and none generate more "wows" than the OLED models. And LG is still the only manufacturer building OLED TVs.
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. The OLED screen material is an organic substance that glows when it's activated by an electric current. The screen's pixel layer is made of this self-illuminating carbon-based material — each pixel is its own light source which can be independently switched on and off, so there's no need for a backlight with all its limitations.
Pixel-level illumination = infinite picture contrast and absolute black
Each and every OLED pixel — actually every sub-pixel — can switch off completely, producing absolute black. It's this ability that gives OLED it's remarkable contrast and black levels. LG's OLED design also has an edge when it comes to color and brightness. In LCD TVs, each pixel is made up of three sub-pixels — red, green and blue — to create the color palette. LG's unique 4 Color Pixel technology adds a white sub-pixel to the conventional three colors to enhance both color range and brightness.
LG's 2016 OLED lineup delivers noticeably brighter images than last year's models, while also expanding the color palette by 15%. These TVs are among the best at demonstrating the exciting enhancements in contrast and color provided by HDR. If watching TV is something you routinely do with family or friends, you'll be impressed at the way OLED images maintain nearly perfect contrast and color even for viewers seated off to the sides.
The premium HDR experience: Dolby Vision™
Our eyes can see a much wider range of contrast and color than most current TVs can display — even most 4K models. So, while 4K provides more pixels, TV makers are introducing new technologies to deliver "better" pixels that produce more vivid, colorful, and lifelike images.
The most important of these technologies is HDR (High Dynamic Range), which significantly expands the picture contrast range with both deeper blacks and brighter highlights. A limited amount of HDR-enhanced streamed video content is already available from Amazon and Vudu, and Netflix® will soon offer some as well. This TV not only supports the required HDR 10 format, but also the more sophisticated Dolby Vision™ format, which is a dynamic system that is able to adjust brightness and color levels in response to the video signal on a scene-by-scene basis.
LG's webOS smart TV interface continues to be one of the best we've seen
The OLED55E6P's built-in web apps give you instant access to a nearly limitless selection of entertainment including streamed video from services like Netflix, YouTube®, and Hulu®. The colorful WebOS 3.0 user interface lets you customize your home screen to access the apps you use most, and easily switch between them.
LG's latest motion-sensing Magic Remote is simple and fun to use. You can point, click, scroll and even speak into the remote to find exactly what you want, searching across apps, movies, TV shows and the web... all at the same time. It's a lot like using a wireless videogame controller or an air mouse.

From LG:
Stop Watching. Start Seeing.
With perfect black and intense color enhanced by both standard and Dolby Vision* HDR, LG OLED brings you a world of beauty without compromise.
Perfect Black
The individually illuminating OLED pixels can brighten, dim, and power off fully to achieve perfect black. That means contrast — the ratio between the lightest and darkest areas of the screen — is truly infinite. Perfect black is essential to a more lifelike image as well as the great shadow detail you can only get with OLED.
Cinematic Color
LG OLED TVs display a color palette that virtually matches the vast range of hues seen in today's high-end digital cinemas. With over a billion rich colors at its disposal, LG OLED TV delivers a theater-quality experience at home.
OLED HDR
OLED HDR delivers a stunning High Dynamic Range picture, including support for Dolby Vision* content. Enjoy brilliant brights and the deepest darks for infinite contrast, rich color and an exceptional viewing experience, closer to what filmmakers intended. With their perfect black and cinematic color, LG OLED TVs have also earned prestigious Ultra HD Premium certification.

OLED: "OLED" means organic light-emitting diode, named for the advanced material used in the TV's screen. The secret to OLED is this unique light-emitting diode structure with its electroluminescent layer, a special film made from an organic, carbon-based compound that emits its own light when hit with an electric current. A thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane switches each specific pixel on and off. This configuration enables a thinner, lighter form factor, higher resolution and big, home theater-ready screen sizes. Because OLED TVs do not require a backlight, pixels that are switched off are truly black, so OLED achieves deeper black levels and a higher contrast ratio when compared to LCD and LED-LCD TVs with conventional backlighting. OLED technology also increases energy efficiency.
- Cinematic Color & True Color Accuracy: The LG UHD OLED TV displays Cinematic Color & True Color Accuracy with a color palette that virtually matches those seen in today's high-end digital cinemas, thanks to its 4 Color Pixel Technology. LG's 4 Color Pixel technology adds a white sub-pixel to the conventional 3 color red, green, and blue that enhances both color range and accuracy. This considerably improves the OLED pixels' ability to express the realistic colors and represents a giant step ahead of conventional flat-panel displays.
- Perfect Black Panel w/ Infinite Contrast Ratio: As the first display technology that allows self-lighting pixels to switch on and off individually, OLED offers the first "Infinite" contrast ratio. LG OLED TV's self-lighting pixels switch off completely for a Perfect Black Panel. With no light bleed, LG OLED achieves absolute black levels, for infinite contrast. Contrast ratio measures the range from the brightest whites on the screen to the darkest blacks. The deep blacks will offer a greater sense of realism and depth on all content.
- Absolute Motion Clarity: The critical response time of the LG UHD OLED TV (its ability to refresh the image on screen) is less than .1ms (microseconds), drastically faster than LCD or LED-LCD televisions. As a result, you get even the fastest action to be dependably crystal clear and virtually blur-free.
"Picture-on-Glass" 10-Bit LCD Panel: "Picture-on-Glass" is made possible by LG's bold new approach to television design. The OLED module is applied directly to the glass back panel for a clean, ultra-slim profile. Thanks to its 10-bit LCD panel, the LG UHD OLED TV is capable of displaying billions of colors with fine steps of gradation. With so many more colors to express, you'll see a picture that is more detailed and natural when compared to conventional 8-bit panels
Ultra Luminance: Ultra-HD picture quality becomes even more dynamic with an extended range of brightness, thanks to LG's Ultra Luminance technology. By enabling higher peak brightness and an enhanced contrast ratio, Ultra Luminance makes 4K & HDR images even more striking.
Ultra HD 4K Resolution & Upscaler: The LG UHD OLED TV has a display resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 (4K) and will display all video at that resolution, regardless of input signal, thanks to its Perfect Mastering Engine & 4K Upscaler. 4K provides four times higher resolution than current 1080p high-definition TVs with a total of 8.3 million pixels. Its detail is so vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a single pixel, even from inches away. Enjoy incredibly flawless images, vivid colors, and picture details as never before. More benefits of Ultra-HD 4K include:
- Greater Sense Of Depth: At 4K, distant objects in a scene can be rendered with greater clarity than at 2K, with more nuances of light and shadow and focus for a greater sense of perceived depth.
- Better Color: Because pixels are units of colored light, their greater quantity in 4K enables more layered transitions and subtler gradations of tones, so the hues we see up on screen will be truer to what we see in nature.
- Sit Even Closer: 2K HD TVs carry a recommended viewing distance of three times (3X) the TV screen height, but with a 4K display you can move in to one-and-a-half times (1.5X) screen height without exposing individual pixels. Sitting closer better fills your field of vision, assuring total immersion in whatever you're watching.
Ultra HD Premium: The LG UHD OLED TV features the Ultra HD Premium seal of recognition from the UHD Alliance for meeting the demanding standards set by the industry organization for resolution, high dynamic range, peak luminance, black levels, & wide color gamut. This UHD OLED TV delivers a stunning high dynamic range (HDR) picture with support for Dolby Vision content. Enjoy brilliant brights and the deepest darks for infinite contrast and rich color.
- High Dynamic Range (HDR): HDR reproduces a greater dynamic range
of luminosity or brightness levels, bringing greater contrast & wider color
spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances
of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and
colors, plus greater depth. Previously hidden areas of dark shadow and
sunlight are now full of clarity and detail. You can choose between four HDR
video modes.
- HDR Standard: Optimizes the screen for HDR video signal.
- HDR Bright: The screen appears brighter and even more colorful.
- HDR Vivid: Sharpens the image by increasing the contrast, brightness and sharpness.
- HDR Gaming: Decreases input lag for HDR gaming, while maintaining all of the benefits of HDR (firmware update required).
- Dolby Vision: The LG UHD OLED TV takes HDR video a step further
with support for
Dolby Vision content. Dolby Vision masters its
video content at 4,000 nits (40x brighter than standard TV), resulting in
more detailed images with greater contrast.
With the expanded luminance of Dolby Vision, each scene is created with a
range of colors much closer to what the eye actually sees.
Dolby Vision unlocks many more hues
across the full brightness range (up to 50% more color than regular TV) for
a dramatic difference. By using a much
wider range of brights-to-darks (50% more contrast than conventional TV),
Dolby Vision provides a new level of richness and precision that
makes every scene look more real with more detailed textures, patterns, and
edges; plus a convincing three-dimensional feel. You can choose between
three Dolby Vision modes.
- Movie Dark: Optimizes the screen for the Dolby Vision HDR video signal.
- Movie Bright: The TV screen appears brighter and clearer.
- Vivid: Sharpens the image by increasing the contrast, brightness and sharpness on the Dolby Vision HDR video.
Video Inputs: The LG UHD OLED television features HDMI 2.0a, Component, and Composite video inputs. All of the television's video inputs are displayed at 3,840 x 2,160 (4K).
- HDMI 2.0a: The four HDMI 2.0a inputs will accept 4K/HDR (60/30Hz), 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals. The HDMI
inputs not only allow you to connect your Blu-ray/DVD player or
Satellite/Cable receiver to the TV, but also a laptop or computer. The
television's HDMI inputs do not accept 480i video signals.
- HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the TV's HDMI inputs. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for compatibility with 4K Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable providers.
- 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: All HDMI inputs will support up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full color data rendering of 4K video (60fps). 4:2:2 (60fps) and 4:2:0 (60fps) are also supported by HDMI inputs 1-2. HDMI input 3 only supports 4:2:0 (60fps). With 4:4:4 color, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate, resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more total colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail. You must enable 4:4:4 color subsampling in the TV's on-screen menu.
- Component Video: The Component Video input will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. The component video inputs consist of a 3.5mm jack and a 6" mini-to-component video adapter. This same component video output shares the audio signal with the composite audio/video terminal.
- Composite Video: The composite video input will accept 480i only. The composite audio/video terminal consists of an AV 3.5mm connector and a 6" mini-to-composite video/stereo RCA adapter.

Great picture quality and easy set up. Comes loaded with a lot of features but not HBO GO for some reason. The remote is a little weird and unnecessarily complicated as it used as a kind of mouse to select options.
