Mister Speaker posted:Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm really frustrated here, Plex is basically the number 1 app I use on my Shield. Thanks for your time. You may just be looking at a factory reset. Have you checked the storage area of settings and make sure your media source is mounted?

Just spent an hour troubleshooting the ARC on my CX before figuring out that the ARC port is the middle port on the side and not the single port round the back that makes perfect sense to plug your receiver into. Basically I'm a moron but so are LG. Don't suppose there's a way to force ARC from the back port?

Yeah I didn't think so. I just think it's silly that the side ports are where the ARC is. Here's a much better question. Can I set different picture settings for different HDMI devices (or at least different inputs) on the receiver, or is it strictly one to share between PS4, Switch and Apple TV unless I wire them up directly?

I mean, the obvious implication was that I didn't read the labels on the things, except I did because I knew what ports were what number inputs but I didn't look at the ARC label and I'd just come off a Samsung where port 4 was the ARC port and I also figured obviously the less accessible singled out back port would be the ARC port right? But no. Apparently it's always been 2 on LG OLEDs.

FilthyImp posted:The TV doesn't distinguish the signal source that way so it's per input on the tv. That's about what I feared. Oh well. I was going to have to move things anyway because the eventual PS5 isn't going to play nice through the receiver with HDMI 2.1 fuckery.

I have been surprised to hear a few people assert that Sony's OLED offerings are actually better for movies than LG's. Does anyone agree with this? I haven't found anything to corroborate that - RTINGS still recommends LG over Sony for movies.

It is one of the side ports so that if you want to mount your tv on the wall and do your best to hide the cables you can without your arc connection sticking out like a sore thumb

Does any one make a decent 42-44" non-smart TV? I want a display I can just turn on and it's a TV with no features, ads, etc. I don't need crazy picture quality, just something decent (maybe 4k if that exists, but unlikely at that size).

There aren't "dumb" televisions anymore; between Roku, Amazon Fire, and Android TV, most sets have integrated their settings with the smart features into one UI. As for picture quality, units in the sub-50 inch category will typically still be 1080p; quality is generally acceptable for the price (under $200 for Insignia/Toshiba) for general use in a lit room, where absolute black levels aren't as important. Color gamut will be inferior, matching srgb rather than P3, but again; these are budget sets using older, mass produced panel tech.

As always, I'm prepared 2 die I ended up ordering from Costco while I was waiting on Amazon, which was good because I finally got through to someone who told me that they lost the TV instead of trying to reschedule the delivery again. Costco used that delivery provider, and they arrived in the expected time frame. It was very pleasant.

I just got done setting up the Sony 65" 900H, and I have it sitting on a console. I realized I should secure it from tipping over just in case. For those of you who have the tv sitting on a console, what are you using to keep it from falling over? Is mounting going to be the best way? I was looking at those baby proofing straps. Are any of them worth it at all?

I'm kinda amazed Sony haven't come out with some all-singing all-dancing flagship to feature in a slam-dunk "ready for PS5" marketing campaign, or pushed HDMI 2.1 generally even. Only megacorp on earth who make both expensive TVs and expensive game consoles and yet. Maybe this'll happen after launch when they actually have an HDMI 2.1 TV.

It's not happening because despite everyone's hope and hype, HDMI 2.1 isn't really going to mean much for next gen consoles.

I'll be looking for a deal on the LG CX 55" in the next while to go with my PS5. Prime Day is coming up in a few days, then of course there is Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For people that follow electronics deals much closer than I do, are Prime Day deals roughly equal to Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Also, does Amazon ever publish their Prime Day prices ahead of time?

Yeah, the primary graphics options for this gen are likely to be one of these three. 4k30 1400p60 4k60 All locked depending on what the blend of fidelity/performance they are going for. Oh, I don't doubt there will be a handful of less graphically intense titles that will unlock the framerate to get above 4k60 that VRR might be useful for. That's going to be the exception and not the rule though. Unless you are connecting an RTX 3080 or RTX 3090, it's going to be another console generation before you are going to have to worry about >60fps at 4k for the majority of titles.

Aw yeah, my 77" LG CX was delivered today right on schedule thru Costco. Unfortunately the delivery drivers from Costco's 3rd party shipper had no idea about the white glove delivery so they just dropped the box off to me and left. I just said gently caress it and I did everything myself. It was very heavy and awkward to set up alone! I'm just gonna ask for the $20 back from Costco but I also would extremely recommend you don't try to set this thing up and put it on a tv stand alone lol goddamn that was some sweaty work with the tv + stand weighing ~80lbs spread across this big ol fragile thing. Looks great though! Coming from the TCL, I already miss the elegant little roku remote. The UI is decent and responsive enough that the wii-style pointer thing is more obnoxious than it is useful. ARC wasn't working right away but a quick reboot of my soundbar fixed that so I can use just the one remote for volume instead of having to adjust volume with the soundbar's own remote. Can't wait til it gets dark outside but I'm really loving the picture @ midday with lots of ambient light already after fiddling with the settings (gently caress u TruMotion good lord that poo poo is awful)

Prime Day is in no way similar to Black Friday as far as deals go. It appears to be when they discount all the crap that hasn't sold so they can clear space for stuff people want. I'd be surprised to see any deals on OLEDs.

The real benefit of Prime day is that Target and Best Buy are doing competing sales on stuff you might actually want to buy.

I worked customer service for Amazon in another lifetime - 1998-2001. Long before they ever thought of the idea of prime - there was an internal sale open to employees only called "Get the CRAP out" with CRAP standing for "Can't Realize A Profit." I'm sure that's more or less what Prime day is to this day, with some other things added to entice you to spend.
