LG 4k TV Owners Thread

The new 4K TVs with webOS are quite awesome. It has USB 3 port and a few HDMI 2.0 ports. It can natively play h265/HEVC videos which is quite future proof. Motion rate is quite high so very little judder and blur. Specs say 1250 mci which is 200-240hz I think.

Only problem with these TVs is that they are region locked so no Netflix and other apps, even changing the DNS does not work.

I have the 65UB950T version. If anyone has any questions let me know.

I have searched far and wide but maybe my Google skills suck. Do you have a link to a method that actually works?

Other people have tried this and its not working. The LG app store checks the region of the tv regardless what dns you use.


Unotelly website: "Please Note: LG devices with the new webOS firmware can no longer be used to access unblocked channels if the region doesn't appear for you under "LG Services Country". It seems that webOS locks down the app selection for your device to the region the TV was bought in."

Another reason not to buy LG.

Its a really small issue that can easily be sorted out with a chromecast or roku. The app store is not that great anyways and the future android tv stick

"The existing 709 color encoding system shows 30-35 percent of the visual color spectrum," Martin said. BT.2020 can "render about 70-80 percent. As TVs migrate you'll be able to detect those colors," he said. Blu-ray players will be able to detect BT.2020 support and use the better color gamut if it's available, but today's TVs don't yet have the feature, he said.

If the CNET article is accurate, then all you guys with those overpriced yet half featured 4K TVs have wasted your money.
Such a huge increase in visible colour spectrum is significant.
