Change info from page's "Reference" link (which has other TV (LCD) models listed also).
1. Support TrueHD audio format through HDMI.
2. Technicolor Expert mode
(Until eARC (part of HDMI v2.1) is available, TV apparently is converting lossless Atmos to Lossy Atmos/DD+ per ARC tests by an owner with the update.)
FYI: After this LG update, an owner with Samsung UBD-K8500 4K player said he's no longer able to get Bitstream/Atmos audio using dual HDMI cable setup. (Audio only HDMI 2 port connected to AVR.) Said problem was due to LG TV's EDID change and that the player's 2 HDMI ports are not discreet? He replaced the K8500 with a Sony X800 which worked OK. (Problem reported to Samsung, but unknown if they will fix this in a future firmware update.)
There's also been some posts by Apple TV 4K owners on DV issues after this update.
