Software updateswebOS 6.0 at launchwebOS 2.0. The UK launch reviews describe no HDR support; a bounded exact European firmware search did not verify its later availability. Separately, LG's US September 2015 release confirms EG9600 HDR streaming after a firmware update, and Japan's November release confirms network/USB HDR with HDMI explicitly unsupported. Japan's current page names HDR10. Those regional updates are not assigned to the UK EG960V main HDR fields. First-sale year remains 2015: the UK April review confirms retail availability, but an exact first worldwide sale month remains unresolved.
