Outstanding Service and Results!

I was extremely impressed with the entire calibration process from Best Buy, from booking through the service itself. The young man who came to the house arrived on schedule and spent as much time as was necessary to "get it right." He was very knowledgeable, answered every question I had and explained everything he was doing in as much detail as I wanted. He didn't rush or cut corners to get finished, even though he lived a good distance away and it was late on a weekday afternoon. Then there's the WOW!! The results out of my 2016 LG OLED TV are outstanding! I had tried some calibration on my own using a Blu-ray disc that I bought online, but I knew it could be better, and it most definitely is. 250 bucks isn't cheap, but the results have been well worth every penny. I'm continually blown away by the accuracy of the colors and the contrasts, both with live sports, which I watch a lot of, and with 4k UHD discs via the Xbox One S that I recently purchased (also from Best Buy). Kudos to LG, to Best Buy and to the gentleman who calibrated my set. Lovely, lovely, lovely!!!

Outstanding In Every Way!

One month in on the LG OLED55B6 and I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of this purchase. Although the picture quality is outstanding (with a few tweaks), especially with live sports, streaming of HDR/Dolby Vision is pretty limited at this point, and that's the real reason I decided to finally take the plunge on OLED. While the quality from Netflix and Amazon definitely hints at the potential, I'm waiting patiently now on a really good 4k Blu-Ray player (Panasonic, Oppo) to take full advantage of the capabilities of this set.

Enjoy lush audio with this Klipsch Reference R-10B 2-way soundbar that is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices for simple connectivity. The included 8" fiber-composite cone wireless subwoofer offers deep-resonating bass.

I visited a number of retailers and listened to many, many sound bars before deciding on the Klipsch, and I simply couldn't be happier. The sound is pure and well defined, especially at the mid and high ends. Musically, everything from horns and fine guitar work to vocals is clean and spacious. And the bass. Wow. I read a lot about what the included sub adds to the depth and forcefulness of the presentation and the reviewers were right. Movie soundtracks have a terrific added punch, especially with explosions and other thunderous special effects. The Klipsch is a bit more expensive than some (but less expensive than others), but overall a fantastic performer that will not disappoint.

Would I get any significant improvement if I have my new 65" LG OLED flat screen TV calibrated?
I thought this $5K TV would look "maaaarvelous baby", but the picture looks about as good as my 2 yr old 55" Samsung... not stunningly different. I just read a review on calibration of an LG TV where a customer said (essentially) the LG's come with great calibration and the Geek Squad calibration actually made his worse. I don't want to waste the $, but would like to be sure I'm getting the best picture I can now that I've invested in this top of the line TV. Any info out there re: calibrating LG OLEDs?
Dear EKJ:
I don't know if this will help or not, but I bought a 55" LG OLED flat screen earlier this summer and, although it was beautiful, I knew it could be better. At first I tried to save myself some money and self-calibrate using a Blu-ray disc that I bought online. Although it was better than before, I felt that there was still considerable room for improvement, so I finally decided to take the plunge and get a professional calibration done via Geek Squad. Wow! You might have a different experience, based on who is actually doing the calibration and their level of expertise, but I can tell you that it was worth every penny in my case to have the OLED done right. It's been about a month now and I'm blown away by the accuracy of the colors and contrasts. Live sports are awesome, and I just bought an Xbox One S to take advantage of the sets HDR capabilities. Wow and Wow again! In your case you're comparing the OLED to a recent Samsung, so I can't speak to the difference or improvement you'll see. I was coming off of a 13-year old Sony, one of the early 1080i HD sets, so I find the calibrated OLED truly stunning. Best of luck with your decision, but I would highly recommend spending another $250 on top of the 5 grand to get the best results possible.
