Hdmi arc was so incredibly bad when it came out, just random turning stuff on when you didn't want it to and then not switching inputs when you did want to use it. it's sort of ok now in that my TV will detect that the amp is on and switch to it, but selecting amp input sources from the TV is a total crapshoot about what might actually happen ofc there's the obligatory "usb drive folder" input that nobody ever uses yet is still there and always seems to be the one the system thinks you want

arc and cec both went from poo poo to pretty decent to poo poo, with the pinnacle at dumb tvs or barely smart tvs.

yeah my arc + cec setup works pretty flawlessly. for a while i only had one apple tv and i was _amazed_ to hook up an hdmi switch to flip it between a 40" sarnsung and this little 28" and the atv volume controls worked fine on both without a power cycle or anything

i bought a samsung pro display a few years ago expecting a dumb panel, but got a tizen monstrosity. it insisted on doing weird autodetect on hdmi ports and would only do cec from recognized devices. libreelec box wouldn't work with cec on it at all, and occasionally it would refuse to stay switched to the libreelec pi

i like how (i do not like how) everything tech just becomse more and more complicated over time and the people designing it never stopped to think that they shouldn’t try to get an immigrant dad to change from the tv to dvd and then change the dvd stretch ratio challenge (EXTREME DIFFICULTY)

arc + cec is almost very good. i've got a ps5, a sony tv, and a cheapo yamaha receiver, and like 95% of the time it all works flawlessly... but then sometimes the receiver just won't turn on, and sometimes it will randomly turn back on several minutes after the whole system has been powered off. like what? but it's at least good enough that i was able to get rid of my old harmony remote, thank god

I still have that hooked up on a smaller set and it's a sony and god help you if you ever go into the menu because it will then switch to that on every startup and sometimes part way through what you're watching. there's audible whining if the Bluetooth receiver is switched on on that model, gj sony some amplifiers are absolute power drains when they're in hdmi standby mode, some even worse if in WiFi standby

i have a samsung tv and got the matching soundbar for it - i.e. the specific soundbar made by samsung for this tv - the soundbar shows up in the menus as "unknown device" - when using the soundbar the tv will not show the volume control in the OSD - the soundbar does not turn on automatically with the tv, you have to do it manually with a separate remote - if you forget to turn on the soundbar before the tv then the tv will automatically switch back to the internal speakers and the default volume - once it switches to the internal speakers it must be manually switched back to the soundbar, even if you remember to turn on the soundbar first next time - changing the output back to the soundbar means going through four layers of menus

if I forget to turn off the amp as the output it will come back on every time the TV is powered on and turning it back to TV speakers as the output requires you to go left left left ok up right right right ok ok ok ok If you do it wrong then your TV does a hadouken at you

i have a sarnsung hw-q800c sound bar and it works fine with a panasonic tv from 2018, they both turn on and off at the same time and volume control via either the panasonic tv remote or apple tv remote is applied to the sound bar but the surround audio claims are all complete bs

oh and of course the sarnsung has An App that refuses to start without your exact location which is probably the worst thing about it

samsung's flash storage in general is very good. i have a ton of their sd cards and they're very reliable, decently fast and weren't expensive i also have two samsung laptops, both are formerly chromebooks. they run linux (shittier m3 one) and/or windows (better i5 one with HDR OLED) now and any problems with those oses are basically my fault. but really the only thing i still can't get to work is the fingerprint reader on the OLED model, under either windows or linux. otherwise they're actually pretty decent ultraportables with great displays, and since they were chromebooks, also happened to be pretty cheap. converting them into real computers wasn't terribly difficult either, it mostly involved hunting down drivers for windows (i eventually paid $7 for a windows sound driver package, absolutely worth it) and working around the shittier one's 64 gb ssd with microsd cards. that one can run windows too, clear linux is just faster and linux doesn't care about my partitioning scheme as much (e: but then again, using windows with it doesn't require a special sound driver  somewhat amazingly sound Just Works under linux on both though, as does pretty much everything else, i suppose because chrome os is linux)there was one weird problem with the faster one's touchpad though, even under chrome os it'd just freak the gently caress out every so often. rebooting didn't fix it, seemingly the only thing that would was putting it away for a while and not using it, but then it'd start randomly happening again. so one day i got fed up with it, opened it up, and realized the touchpad would be touching a metal piece underneath when applying pressure to the bottom of it (causing a short i guess?), and that some tape across the metal part had almost come off. so i just removed it, put a new piece on and it hasn't been a problem since lol Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Aug 4, 2024 |

samsung's ssds have been very reliable ime, they're the one thing they haven't managed to gently caress up yet idk if this is funy but i remembered the hoyal card games / hoyal (x) games series of releases. those were always pretty fun, and because it was before the era of mass internet enshittification they're all solid offline games. my folks used to play them a lot, right up until the end.

Samsung makes a lot of the flash chips for other SSD makers, so even if you are not buying a brand name samsung, it likely has samsung chips.
