What reviewers say

The launch reviews from HDTVTest and AVForums praise deep blacks, wide viewing angles, detailed 4K images and excellent passive 3D. Both find gaming lag comparatively high and motion limited without interpolation. AVForums likes the built-in sound; HDTVTest identifies near-black streaking and shading absent from AVForums' sample. Both praise the faster interface.

HDTVTest identifies HDMI 1 and 2 as HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2; ARC support confirmed by both exact UK reviews. AVForums claims MHL, conflicting with the French maker table's No, so MHL support is not asserted.

Software updates: webOS 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.
