  Tips for LG OLED TVs
• Problems after an update? Or suddenly seeing strange errors?
  If you have "Quick Start" enabled, try disabling it, & power off/restart.
  If that doesn't help, power off, disconnect power and then press device's ON button.
  ( I never use quick start on TVs or players. I've seen it cause problems for others at times.
  My guess is that sometimes cached data for quick start gets corrupted or is out of date.)
• TV Turning Off or On Randomly?
  Check HDMI Control/CEC settings on TV and connected devices.
  LG calls it "Simplink (HDMI-CEC)" in the TV's HDMI settings menu.
  (Personally I never enable HDMI control on TVs or other devices.)
• What's the latest LG C2/G2 OLED TV's Dolby Vision version?
• Simple way to check if your LG OLED TV has an "EX" OLED Panel.
• Fix for LG 83" C2/G2 TVs with Power On Problem (2 button presses required).
• Notes on LG OLED TVs Uniformity, Banding, Burn-In, Bad Pixels, Crosstalk.
  - Info on Tips, Tests, DIY Test Images, & improvements in newer OLED TVs.
  
  
• LG TV AD Tracking, Home Promotion & Privacy Settings
  ADs/Home Promotion Settings for LG TV Models are in "General Settings" Menu
  - System-> Additional Settings-> Home Settings -> Home Auto Launch (default is On)
  - System-> Additional Settings-> Home Settings -> Home Promotion (default is On)
  - System-> Additional Settings-> Advertising -> Limit Ad Tracking (default is Off)
  (I'd set "Limit Ad Tracking" ON and "Home Auto Launch" & "Home Promotion" OFF.)
  
  C2/G2 04.40.90 added a new "Screensaver Promotion" in System -> Additional Settings
  and "Content Recommendation" in System -> Additional Settings -> Home Settings.
  (I turned both of them OFF.)
  
  Privacy Setting below is under the "Support" menu (not "General Settings")
  - Support-> Privacy & Terms-> Do Not Sell my Personal Information (default is Off)
  
  (I didn't see a "Live Plus" setting on the C2 but it wasn't setup for internet access.)

A press release said EX panels were being shipped after 2nd Quarter 2022. My August 2022 build US 48" C2 has an EX panel. (For 2023, the LG "META" TVs like the G3 & Z3 (except 83" IIRC) use the new "MLA" (Micro-Lens Array) OLED panels.)

To learn more about LG's EX & MLA OLED panels, YouTube has videos on the subject by LG, and HDTVtest has a video explaining the difference in EX vs previous WBE and WBC panels. (Larger Pixel Aperture ratio, higher efficiency, longer lifespan, etc.)

(I don't have a B2 TV to confirm this, but I've heard the B2 won't be getting the ASBL Auto-Dimming fix in the C2/G2's July 28, 2023 update below. Source said it was due to a different processor in the B2, but honestly that sounds like an excuse. It should not be a complex fix.)

webOS version updated to 7.3.1-39 (was 7.3.0-2901 with firmware 03.33.16).
(03.33.65 didn't update Dolby Vision. Still version 32.09 from 03.33.15 update.)

03.33.65 Fixes C2/G2 ASBL Dark Scene Dimming Problems
It appears 03.33.65 also fixed the frustrating problem of dark scene auto-dimming (ASBL).
(Many complaints that non-static dark scene video was dimmed, not just static images.)
A UK forum post had a reply from LG support saying 03.33.65 does fix ASBL dimming.
(Just like the fix they did earlier for the 2023 LG C3/G3 models.)
C2/G2 Owner posts have confirmed the ASBL fix with firmware 03.33.65.

Saw a G2 owner say he couldn't set a TV program reminder after the 03.33.16 update. That works with my OTA Antenna channels via the Guide. (I have no Cable TV or Internet connection on the C2 48".)

My 48" C2 isn't used with any Sound Bar or AVR using ARC, so I can't say if 03.33.16 fixes any issue with the Audio changes in the 03.33.15 update. I don't use the C2's Apps and don't have the TV connected to the internet, so I don't know if this update will help anyone that said they had Wi-Fi problems using some Apps with 03.33.15. (Saw reports that Wi-Fi problems were only with 5GHz mode, typically using channel 149, 80Mhz. One user suggested trying 40Mhz.)
FYI: If Quick Start+ is enabled, try disabling it & power off/restart. (I never use it on TVs or players.)

webOS version updated to 7.3.0-29 (was 7.3.0-2403 with firmware 03.30.68).
Dolby Vision version updated to 32.09 (was 32.07 from 03.30.16 update in January.)
This update does not fix dark scene auto-dimming (ASBL), but owners say it does fix a bug where having Real Cinema enabled + Adjust Logo Brightness on High caused artifacts.

FYI: LG doesn't show a new Servo version in the Software Update window. (The Update window shows the Current "SW Version" (firmware) and "Driver Version" (Servo), but under "Update Ver." they only show the new "SW" (firmware) version number - the "Driver Version" (Servo) is listed as "Not Found".) So check the player's Servo version info after the firmware update has been applied to see the new Servo version shown above. (I've had a UP970 and UP870 for years and this only the second Servo update.)

Still has no Auto mode for 24Hz vs 60Hz setting. See previous notes below.
(And still no way to disable HDMI Control (CEC). Some use a CEC Blocking HDMI adapter.)

Some owners said after this update their HDMI Port Quick Access shortcuts saved previously no longer work. An affected owner said reloading HDMI port shortcuts were not retained after the TV was turned off. A user that reported this to LG support replied they suggested a factory reset.

LG TV Apple TV User Notes/Tips:
- With the LG 04.80.03 firmware, Airplay 2 integration now supports DD+ with Atmos.
(Although as of June 10, 2020, the Apple TV app on the LG TV didn't do Atmos yet.)

- IF after this update your Soundbar is only getting PCM 2.1 audio, change the Apple TV sound settings from Auto to Dolby Digital 5.1. (A Yamaha soundbar user said that helped, but a Sonos user said he's getting 2 channel audio now. The Sonos may need an update to fix this.)

• Fix the case where certain eARC is running as ARC.

• Apple AirPlay improvements

• Fix the failure of access to certain website in the browser.
  (Again no mention of what website(s) were affected.)

• Fix the repeated Terms and Conditions Update Pop-up issue.

1. Fix the noise that occurred when sending video from iPhone to TV with Airplay app.
2. Fix volume fluctuation when setting STB volume to low level (1~2).
3. Fix Bluetooth initialization popup & issue where magic remote control sometimes didn't work.

I saw a forum post that said they emailed support and was later told this firmware update was just an "Application" update. I believe it's more than that, since the UP870 model also got a Firmware (and Servo) update, and it has no Apps. (No Wi-Fi, Ethernet port only for getting firmware updates.)
I believe the Firmware & Servo (drive) updates are for playback/compatibility issues.
I confirmed that 3D still works after this update. Tested with LG E6 TV and Avatar 3D disc.
(Still has no Auto mode for 24Hz vs 60Hz setting. See previous notes below.
And still no way to disable HDMI Control (CEC). Some use a CEC Blocking HDMI adapter.)

Like most player firmware updates, I assume it's to fix issues/improve compatibility.
As I mentioned in the UBKM9/UBK90/UP970 update above, I don't think this is only an "Application" update, as the UP870 has no Apps, and also got the same Servo (drive) update.

3D Still Works after this Update
After seeing 1 complaint from an owner (with LG G6 TV), I tested my updated LG 870 (and 970 above) and confirmed that 3D still works after this update. I used my LG E6 TV and the same 3D disc (Avatar 3D) he used. (Make sure 3D is set to On in the player settings. Player set to 24Hz.)
Everything in the HDMI chain must support 3D, including the Receiver. If in doubt, connect the player directly to the 3D TV. (My Avatar 3D disc boots up with a 3D mode note. The disc's Play menu offers a 3D or 2D option.)

And I didn't notice any increase in drive noise. (There were many early complaints on LG UP970 player noise, but that wasn't a common problem with my players. I did have one disc (Flight of the Phoenix remake) that was out of balance (off-center label IIRC, but also check the disc edge for excess plastic) and sounded like a buzz saw in every player. A replacement disc was OK.)

My UP870 is a spare now, replaced by a Panasonic DP-UB420 ($149.99 on sale).
Surprised to see a Firmware & Servo update for the UP870. ($25 in WM store, January 2018.)
(I wish they would change the Eject's screen to something other than a solid bright white, and hoped for an "Auto" output Hz option, but it still has only 24Hz or 60Hz setting as noted years ago.)

FYI: Some AVRs aren't Dolby Vision compatible. If yours isn't, use the UHD Player's main HDMI port cable direct to the DV TV and the player's 2nd HDMI connection to the AVR for Audio.

As mentioned earlier, for 4K/UHD HDR movies remember to select 24Hz in Settings -> Display -> Display Mode. (If set to 60Hz, LG will output at 8-bit 4:2:2. If set to 24Hz, output is 4:4:4 12-bit. See previous notes below.)
