Essentially what you found out (after ensuring a true 24p signal making its way to the TV), I have an older OLED than yours but that 2-option menu is the key really. I'm pretty sure I have mine on 0/0 because I just couldn't deal with anything on either being run but I'd have to check.. I use the two fully programmable modes for my viewing, one for HDR content and one for SDR. The main thing I have on for the HDR is a touch of dynamic contrast as - even though as a caveat I don't like seeing it shift as it adapts - it does provide a better picture for me.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/02/25/google-tvs-new-basic-mode-will-offer-a-dumb-barebones-experience/quote:Google's latest Chromecast was announced last year and heralded the eventual transition of Android TV to Google TV. But unlike custom skins, this new interface — with features like the Live tab and better Assistant integration — is also being made available to third-party TV manufacturers like Sony and TCL. We're now learning that these sets will also ship with a Basic TV mode that strips them of their smartness. Amazon Music is no longer exclusive to the nVidia Shield, it's now available to all Android/Google TV units: https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/02/25/amazon-music-is-now-available-on-all-android-tv-and-google-tv-sets/ Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Feb 25, 2021 |

I just got a new 4K TV and upgraded my streaming services to allow 4k content. However, my AV receiver is now a bottleneck, only supporting 60hz at 4K. If I bypass my AV receiver by connecting my devices to the TV directly, and stream using the TV's smart TV apps, then use the AV receiver just to output sound to my speakers, will this solve my problem? I would rather not buy a new AV receiver if I don't have to.

I'm not sure of the problem? Are you concerned about gaming? If so it would be insane to go buy a new receiver. They can write 4K120hz on the box all they like, these new consoles will not be outputting those kind of frame rates at those resolutions unless its 16 bit indie games

I have a Chromecast that is plugged into my AV Receiver, and I switched my receiver to 4K mode, but the specs on Yamaha's website say that it can only do 60hz. My TV does 120Hz. So I think I should stop using the receiver for video and have it just route audio from the TV to the speakers Oh and yeah really good point about gaming. Mostly I PC game though; primarily I want my 4K Netflix nature documentaries to be as good as possible!

blue squares posted:So I think I should stop using the receiver for video and have it just route audio from the TV to the speakers No, the sources are not in 120hz even if you have a 120hz TV. Nearly everything out there is 24fps. 120hz TV just means that you can display it at an even cadence (repeat each frame 5 times). Sources will either send stuff to the TV as 4k24hz or 4k60hz (with 3:2 pulldown.) Only games have the potential to exceed 60hz and that's not very common at 4k yet.

Sources will either send stuff to the TV as 4k24hz or 4k60hz (with 3:2 pulldown.) So what is the point of a receiver that can put out 120Hz 4K video? edit: There is no benefit to plugging my Chromecast directly into my TV so that it doesn't pass through the 60Hz outputting receiver? Maybe I need to go to Google and do some reading on what refresh rates really mean, since I am confused edit2: I found this info and it helps "While a 120Hz TV doesn't inherently produce better motion, it can provide a few advantages over standard 60Hz TVs. One of the most important advantages is the ability to play back content that is meant to be displayed at 24 fps, which is often found in movies. Most TVs can simply lower their own refresh rate to 24Hz when the content is 24 fps, but some sources, such as Chromecast, output video at 60 fps, even if the content is 24 fps. This means that the TV's refresh rate remains at 60Hz, and motion won't appear smooth, which is an effect called judder. A 60Hz TV has trouble removing 24 fps judder because 60 isn't a multiple of 24. To display this type of content, a technique known as a "3:2 pulldown" is used. Basically, 12 of the 24 frames repeat three times, while the other 12 repeat twice, totaling 60 frames. Not everybody notices this, but it causes some scenes, notably panning shots, to appear juddery. However, 120Hz TVs have an advantage here because they can simply display each frame five times since 120 is a multiple of 24." Now I just need to confirm that my receiver is indeed in 4K mode. I changed the setting, but when I played my first video (for only a couple minutes) I wasn't 100% sure. blue squares fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Feb 27, 2021 |

One month elapsed with my new CX, and the spectacle has begun to wear off. Not because it is no longer spectacular, but because I have become hyper-normalized. This is just how it's supposed to be now. This is the new baseline. Even the best LCDs are dogshit next to this. Sure, that QLED or whatever might look it can hang if you see it under bright store lighting, but throw a starfield on that bitch in a dimly lit room and you get to see what it looks like to be an astronaut with cataracts. In other news, I thought I fixed my sync issue, but it seems not. Extensive testing has revealed that when ALLM is activated, real-time audio (games, etc) lags behind the picture by ~120ms with Atmos enabled, ~60ms without. Optical output from the TV inherits the base 60ms. Is this just some ALLM fuckup where the audio signal isn't switching to low latency mode? If I try it without ALLM, it matches up perfect, but of course there's input lag which is way worse. I did solve the issue by just keeping the TV out of the loop for PC gaming audio, but that results in having to actually push a button to change inputs on my soundbar like a goddamn caveman.

Last year I went OLED (specifically a LG 65CX) and right afterwards I stopped watching DS9 after making it through the first two seasons because I was uncertain about burn-in. Five more seasons of DS9 is a lot of hours of pillarboxed TV - if I do watch all of that is it likely to cause any permanent overbright areas on the TV or whatever is classed as burn-in these days? Also, not sure if this is the right thread for it, but is there a way I can capture 4K movie screenshots on it? My player is a PS5 and I know most discs have copy protection to prevent you from trying to do this very thing, but would something like an Elgato capture card passing through to my PC let me take shots with streaming software like OBS?

And this is based on testing. Here's what rtings found in the B6 which has next to no aging mitigation.quote:Black letterbox bars have been displayed for almost 5,000 hours (equivalent to 208 days of continuous letterboxing). Some letterboxing is starting to become noticeable on full-screen slides, but not in normal content. As a result, we don't expect letterbox bars to cause any issues for people. So you could watch DS9 through 37 times before you might see something on slides. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Mar 1, 2021 |
