On the LG C2 I go to System Settings / All Settings / General / Devices / HDMI Settings / SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC) and turn it OFF (for the 235th time). Suddenly, audio from my Atmos enabled player reverts to mono, so I power cycle the Denon 100th AVR and sound comes back, but the LG C2 turns its SIMPLINK back on (and maybe related, enters some mode where the screen will randomly just turn itself off). The LG is completely disconnected from all "networking", and has been operating just fine as a "dumb" screen. Now it seems to think that it's "smart" and will HALP me out.

I read elsewhere that moving the AVR's HDMI feed to a non-ARC input on the LG might help, but I *want* eARC return audio for the rare occasion I need to use the actual Television tuner. Has anyone solved this without killing eARC? It's very odd that the entire setup has been working just fine until recently. The only thing I've changed is hooking up a new MacMiniM4 to the last available HDMI port on the AVR. I've had a MacMiniM1 hooked up for over a year, so it doesn't make sense that this would have changed things. I'm just thrashing in the field, so looking at ANYTHING "new" in case that's what brought this ghost to my machine.

I surely will be grateful if anyone has a good solution here! Until then, I guess I'll move the HDMI in off of the eARC port. sigh

Hello, I was just curious to know if it's the same resolution when the screen is cut off with the black bars.

Does the GPU work the same or harder. Is it the same PPI and resolution or is it more or less?

Thanks I recently bought one and most of the game and content I use has black bars.

For people who are aware of info about this monitor, people who bought it or had it and sold it, how bad are these issues? I'm upgrading to it from a 240hz IPS and my only concerns are the VRR flicker on OLEDs, burn in and matte coating.

I've had this TV for about 4 years. Recently it's started to freeze and blink different colors and has a buzzing sound. I can't figure it out. Any ideas on what it might be and what I should do? It's really upsetting.

I bought an S90D along with an XR80 and U8N to compare. I’ve really been struggling with the Samsung but I want to love it. The Sony CPU is noticeably much slower running Google TV than the Samsung or Hisense, and the peak brightness on the Sony is so much less than anticipated.

The U8N was really thrown in just to see if OLED is even worth it, and honestly the only reason I’m not hands-down picking the U8N is because of the viewing angle drop off. When sitting center the colors appear more accurate, performance is stellar, and the Google TV os is snappy and fantastic. Despite this the viewing angle drop off, has me looking at the Samsung.

The biggest issue I’m having is the colors. No matter what mode I’m in I cannot get the colors to feel as natural as they do on either the Sony or Hisense, which is both seem to do a great job representing natural colors in cinema modes. The Samsung just feels more muted, no matter what adjustments I make. It’s either oversaturated and terrible or muted.

Is this just a situation of fine calibration needed, or maybe Dolby vision issue?

Thanks for any feedback in advance !

Is there any cons of raising black levels above 50? I have a G3 and notice some dark scenes on certain shows are very crushed and i cannot make out any detail. Some hdr content on amazon prime, disney plus, and hulu are darker than others so i raise my black levels above 50. I put it up between 52 and 55. So far it looks much better but i was wondering if it will affect the image in other scenses negatively? Thanks im advance.

I have an LG-C9 that I love the picture on it and it's a 2020 model with one "ARC" HDMI port. Documentation shows this LG model can support 2.1 and eARC. I have purchased all 2.1 certified HDMI cables. No cable runs are longer than 8 feet. Here is the problem: In almost every configuration, the single eARC HDMI port will drop signal if it's the only HDMI connected for both video and audio.

Scenario A If I connect the LGC9 Arc port to the Denon, and then an LGC9 hdmi port to the Apple TV, it all works just fine, with minor lip sync issues only I notice and kids don't care.

Scenario B If I connect LGC9 ARC port to my Denon X1700H, and then go from Denon to Apple TV, I will get intermittent "no signal" messages from the TV for 1-2 seconds, and then the image from Apple TV displays again, paused. This happened prior to the Denon, so the issue is either the Apple TV 4k Gen 1, or the port on the TV.

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this issue?

I tried posting this in 2 asus subs but I got nothing back, maybe this sub can help out.

When I play my nintendo switch using this monitor, there are multiple horizontal flashing white lines that appear, does anyone know how to get rid of the white lines?

Hello there! Trying to find information on the web with no avail so here I come to seek it here. I currently have and LG C4 hooked to an Apple TV 4K (latest gen) and was trying to understand something: Watching Sopranos on Max (stated as an HD title), when pulling the information on the TV itself, it states that the current content is 4k resolution and not HD. Why this matters? Because I want to know if the tv is doing the “upscaling” thing correctly or not.

Wondering then if a. The show is actually 4k or b. Everything coming from the Apple TV, regardless of the content resolution, will output in 4k, hence the “upscaling thing” will never occur.

Any info on this predicament will be appreciated, just for the sake of curiosity.

Thx in advance.

I had my 77 inch LG OLED G4 wall mounted yesterday. I used 12mm M6 screws for VESA holes. I didn’t think anything of it of it until I saw on the manual this morning says the VESA holes are 16mm in length. The TV is heavy so do you think the 12mm M6 screws will be fine or should I try and take down the tv to put in M6 16mm screws?

Hey everyone, I'm buying my first ever TV for a theater room in my home (no windows completely blacked out room), and I have been researching TVs for quite some time but really want to make a purchase now. I've been stuck between the LG B4 and SONY XR A90j. They both are roughly the same price and size (77in vs 83in). I'm really trying to choose the one that will last me longer and will have less issues (dead pixels, burn in, etc.) since I cannot get warranty. I found these TVs at a local discount store (final sale) and they only have a few left, any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I am offered a brand new panasonic 65 inch JZ1000 Oled for less than 400usd equivalent here in the Philippines, i know its an older model (2021 I think) but it is still offered with full warranty. It has a 120hz panel for some PS5 fun, and OLED dolby vision and hdr10plus goodness I think?

Is it a good deal instead of getting a much more expensive (almost double) but newer model LG or Samsung. Is there really a big difference? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Just got my first oled today, been trying to update the firmware for the last 30ish minutes, can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions would be useful tbh.
The steps from the asus seem pretty simple, but I can't get it to work.

The only issue I can think of is that my usb stick is 130gb, so I had to use rufus to format it to fat32.

Does anybody know the deal with the “color booster” setting on samsung? What is the difference between tinkering with this setting from just turning up the color value?

I have this tv for a few months. But ive never really seen this since like a week ago. It just happened again while gaming the screen dims for a second and then goes back to how it was. What could be this be?

Just got this monitor and black levels are perfect with gaming on PC and PS5. However, when I watch a movie either via 4k blu ray or streaming on Roku the black levels are very raised. And I'm not talking about the panel issue with ambient light. I'm watching in a pitch black room. Previously I used a C4 and black levels for movies were much darker. I know most movies don't have perfect blacks but they are definitely more raised on this panel vs the C4. Is this just a quirk of qd oled? Was the C4 crushing blacks and I just didn't realize it?

I thought it could be because movies output in limited range vs full RGB but The Last of Us on PS5 outputs in limited range and the blacks levels are fine. Is the raised black level for movies normal and something I just need to accept?

Today I noticed that my CX from 2020 has dead pixels at the bottom of the screen, have you seen anything like this before? What should I do now?

Hello

I am exploring the option to buy a S95D 55" for my home. I want to have it wall mounted in VESA mount, not Frame or slim, have around 25cm space from wall.

I see that this model comes with Connect Box from Samsung which most people mount on the stand, but I am reading that it is also possible to mount it behind the tv itself on the left side.

I wanted to know, is this possible for the 55" model or only for bigger ones?

Thanks in advance!

**Update

Forgot to mention that I was going for Lg G4 but it went out of stock where I live, also my room is quite bright with direct sunlight most of the day. I use the TV mostly for movies, sports and some gaming. Also considered LG C4 but I am a bit concerned about the green tint.

Greetings, I had a question regarding filmmaker mode.

It seems like not all titles are calibrated to display correctly in filmmaker mode.

For example, using the Movies Anywhere app, I noticed that films including Blade Runner 2049, Poor Things and Nope seem to have their brightness capped in filmmaker mode, and there doesn’t seem to be a difference in artistic intent between these titles. However, movies like Inception and Dune can get noticeably brighter, resulting in much more impactful HDR.

I’ve read online that the content must include a meta-data flag for filmmaker mode for it to display correctly. Does this mean Blade Runner, etc. may not have this flag?

For reference I’m using a Samsung S90C QD-OLED.

Thank you

I noticed the picture quality is noticeably lower quality on Apple TV compared to streaming through the Samsung interface. Is there any way around this? If I can’t get the best picture than the Apple TV is worthless to me.

1-Does text on OLED look that bad on a 27" monitor?
2-How is the burn in on Samsung with their new sus marketed "pulsating heat pipe" technology to combat burn in?
3-I game for 6-7 hour sessions continuously with the HUD on, does that make OLED a bad choice for me?
4-Tell me how you found the colors to be on this monitor especially that it's matte coated.
And thanks

I just wanna share something with others that might be frustrated like I was. I've been regretting buying this OLED because even tho the blacks and colors are out of this world, when watching stuff and then suddenly theres a bright scene - the brightness lowers. This destroyed completely the sense of dynamic range. White/bright things that fill the screen in certain scenes, like a daylight sky shot, or a mostly white screen become grey compared to what was before that was less bright. There's no luminosity consistently and it's super anti-climatic. It ruins that feeling of "WOW smt now that's bright". I even tried to lower the overall brightness of the TV to the minimum but the suposed "ABL" still kicked in white scenes relative to what was before! I thought if I lowered at least the bright scenes wouldn't be bright enought for it to kick in, but no. The peak brightness of the ABL reduced with the brightness of the TV too. At this point a full white screen was dark grey. I was going crazy because that was so stupid (wasn't the whole point of ABL an absolute peak brightness limitation - why is it relative?) and I read people saying they had LG TVs and that didn't happen (ABL) if you lowered the overall brightness, which makes sense, because it doesn't get bright enough even when the screen is full white.

Turns out the stupid one was me... I mean, I didn't know but 😭... It was the option "Increase Luminosity" (sorry if the english translation is not exactly that) that was causing this. I had it set to "Maximum". I turned it off, and immediately the image lowered in brightness and it all become consistent. I was watching a youtube ABL test video where a white square in black background grew in size till the screen filled in white and there was absolutely no visible difference in brightness after this (to my eyes). The brightness is kinda low even with settings brightness in 100%, I must say... But at least it's consistent. I set "Increase Luminosity" to "Low" now instead of "Off", and it gives an overall brighter image just enough to be more enjoyable, and the whiter screen brightness decreasing is not as noticeable still, but, I'm at the moment messing with it to see what I prefer. But now at least I can set it to be more consistent or 100% consistent.

That's all lol! I don't thing OLEDs are unusable anymore.

If you had the same situation let me know in the comments ahah. Oof

Hello, everyone! Is there a way to tell if the 4,000 hour pixel refresher was performed on my LG OLED C9? The “About My TV” section shows 4,070 hours on; however, I don’t recall seeing a notification regarding the pixel refresher at 4,000 hours. I am certain the TV received a notification at 2,000 hours. My wife uses this particular TV in the living room, and she doesn’t recall seeing the 4,00 hour notification either.

I am hesitant to start the manual pixel refresher because the 4,000 hour pixel refresher may have already been performed. If someone is aware of how to determine if the pixel refresher was performed, I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

I'm buying a new TV and i cant decide so I though it should ask some experts. I'm talking about the infamous samsung s90d 55 inch it is the qd oled variant or a second hand C2. What would you guys recomend?

Some guy on Craigslist is selling a Sony A80K 65in for $400, is this a pretty solid deal? I’m thinking I’m going to snag it

Anyone have a screen protector to prevent a random dinosaur from smashing their display?

So I have a Ultrawide 34" AOC AGON Monitor QD-OLED my issue is my Ryzen 5700 X3D and RX 6800 GPU CANNOT keep up with this ultrawide 1440p resolution in Path of Exile.
It only averages around 70 FPS and can dip to 40 in complex fights this is with XESS upscaling enabled.

Yes FSR and XESS exist but they look really bad compared to something like DLSS or Native and I would just prefer to use native at this point.

So I selected 1080p in windows settings and I noticed the entire screen shrunk to fit the actual resolution, pretty cool if you ask me so while everything is smaller it still looks amazingly crisp.

I am just worried that this may cause uneven wear of the screen with the center becoming more "worn" I guess that might mean less brightness or losing color or uniformity or something over time?

I’ve now had two TV’s delivered and each time there has been vertical lines in the screen and looks like scratches in the panel. But no physical damage on the tv’s at all, anyone had any similar issues?

Does anyone know if the Australian versions of the Samsung S90D or Samsung S95D have a QD sub-pixel structure (specifically at 65”)?

This seems to be the case in other regions but I can’t find any info about the Australian versions.

The Australian Samsung website shows no mention of QD for the S90D or S95D but 2023’s S95C does.

Hello people,

So, as the title says, I think my S90D died.

I was playing on my PS5 Red Dead Redemption 2 and suddenly the TV turned off without any notice, very strange cause it never done that before. So, I tried to turn on the TV again but it didn’t work, I tried a few times and nothing, then I noticed there was no red light indicator for power, so what I did is I unplugged the TV, waited for 5 minutes and plugged it again and nothing happened, still not working.

I left it unplugged all night and plugged it again in the morning but nothing, it still doesn’t work, no red light, nothing. It seems that it is not receiving energy or something.

Does anyone had this issue before or know what is going on with my TV? Can it be fixed?

Let me know your comments

Thanks
