1)
LoD disc includes 1.07 and patched to 1.08 release-day
2)
with TCL 55S405 and unchecked desktopresolution it does 75Hz which causes improper gamma
3)
ideally should allow gamma adjustments (click and drag on color bars) and maintain 60+ fps
4)
Gamma at half (should be default); only available fullscreen
5)
