What we need is more support for variable frame rate. I've seen some content switching between 120fps for panning shots and 24fps for dialogue scenes and that felt like the most natural way to watch anything. Could be refined further to find sweet spots for any kind of scene

LG was making the panels for all OLED TVs until this year, Samsung would rather have had a diiferent gimmick that looks like OLED on the box from a distance than source from LG. Sony's processors have a fantastic upscaler though, at the cost of higher latency

Anyone have good suggestions on how to get an ARC sound bar (LG C1 and Vizio v51-h6) audio synced?

I’m having a hell of a time getting it to look right.
if it doesn't have HDMI passthrough, maybe use the optical out from the C1? the TV's built-in apps should compensate for ARC latency but you're screwed with external sources

The homebrew launcher for LG's WebOS also has a modified version of the YouTube app available. Green button launches a menu that lets you customize adblocking

LG OLED is game changing. We watch a lot more movies now. I've acquired a new receiver to go with my existing surround and woof.

There are separate sets of settings for every input and HDR modes of that input so if you're not in game mode (and you should be, the PS5 sends ALLM by default) you have to turn that off for each, then for the built-in apps (except Prime Video which goes into Filmmaker Mode by default)

eARC should be good now but I still have trust issues after ARC's half-second delays. Source → receiver/soundbar passthrough → TV will always be the best setup.

Something in this chain
The TV gets the less lossy codec that's also faster to encode from the console over 8 channels and has to reencode it to fit in the two channels ARC provides

Put off getting a service remote until I got pissed at TPC again watching The Whale on the CX as I had to go into the menu every 10 minutes to keep the brightness up. Turns out you can just go to http://webosapp.club/instart/ in the TV browser and enter 0413 to get to the service menu with no special remote. TPC off, GSR off, life's good.

I run the TV line out into a monitor controller and the balanced outputs go into active speakers, no receiver :v:

IMO having plastic two inch speakers above and behind you isn't much better than not having them. Two 5-6" bookshelf speakers [boxy ones, made of MDF] are the best way to start. You don't need a sub or center channel, I mean they're good to have but just decent stereo speakers will put out more and better bass and treble than any soundbar, even the stupid expensive ones or ones that come with 1 million drivers and "subwoofers" and I use that term lightly.
:hai:
5-6.5" monitors have the perfect sound for media consumption in a home environment IMO. Just cover up your worst reflecting surfaces with some heavy fabric and you're golden

Then last week, due to the Disney App crashing a lot on the TV, we went back to using the apps on the PS5. And not only was the experience smoother, the sound from the Soundbar being hooked up to the PS5 was leagues better.
Assuming the soundbar didn't come with a room correction mic, check out the speaker calibration process the PS5 firmware got last year, it's really good.

The native player in webOS also supports built-in subtitles, if they're from elsewhere you'll have to mux them in with ffmpeg, but there's a native switcher and everything

Depending on the rip getting sound to work might get annoying as between the C8 and CX LG broke support for lossless codecs

still blows my mind that those dark episodes end up looking okay if you turn off TPC and GSR in the service menu. all this time it was some OLED panel preservation bullshit

A pair of Yamaha HS5 studio monitors for $400 would be highly amusing. They're powered so you don't need a dedicated external receiver or amp, but you'd need to come up with some kind of adapter
You can feed a passive monitor controller from the TV's analog out, being just wire and switch boxes they're very cheap.

Plenty digital IMAX theaters still run 2K projectors and it's easy to count pixels if you want. But then you stop doing that and it's fine

I remember trying to connect a PS4 Pro to a 1080p DVi display, used an 4K-capable converter for this and the console would always helpfully auto-adjust to the HDMI handshake, giving me blank output. There was no way to make the resolution setting stick and I ended up memorizing the button sequence needed to change it after connecting everything.

Remember using magnifying glasses irl? They only work when you keep them close to the material. You could get lenses that make everything have a, well, lens distortion effect, but at normal distances it's not going to be magnification

So I can set it to go straight to OTA tv for example?
When it's set like this

it defaults to last input source (cycling between the HDMI inputs and antenna). if that was TV that's what you'll get
