I don’t know if you have an Apple TV 4K, but the screen savers on that are also mesmerizing.
By far, they're my favorites.I don’t know if you have an Apple TV 4K, but the screen savers on that are also mesmerizing.
I do.I don’t know if you have an Apple TV 4K, but the screen savers on that are also mesmerizing.
My current setup is one video output from my Denon X6500H AVR. This means all my settings have to apply to HDMI2 on the TV no matter what type of signal?
So far, no, because everything is coming in as HDR.That ^ is correct. Sorry I did not think of that. Johnny please let us know if you have ISF Expert Bright and ISF Expert Dark with you cable box connected to your C1.
That screen that displays the info, is that definitely what the incoming signal is, or what the TV is converting it to. I have not run across any signal from my Tivo that isn’t HDR and 4K. Is 4K that common now on cable channels?BTW, does this tv have a info screen that displays things like format of incoming video?
Something is not right as that shouldn't be the case. Every channel or program shouldn't be in 4K with HDR.So far, no, because everything is coming in as HDR.

Lest my surprise at all the 4K seem odd, when HD was first on the horizon, the local channels said they’d be dragged kicking and screaming into the new world.
I’m so happy with the LG that I believe I’m developing a spiritual bond with it.
Turns out my Tivo Edge has a video resolution selection to choose. I had chosen “Auto (recommended.” That meant (according to the Tivo forum that the Tivo was doing the upscaling). Also according to the forum if I select 1080i and 720p the tivo is not doing the upscaling.Something is not right as that shouldn't be the case. Every channel or program shouldn't be in 4K with HDR.
What are your ATV settings? I'm assuming this is a ATV4K unit.Last night we were watching Hulu via ATV 4K for the first time. The screen would go black for moment and come back. Every 5-10 minutes it would do it. Than later I’m watching HBO Max and no problem for quite a while then it happened again, but much less frequently. Broadband speed was fine, no buffering. It’s not specific to a streamer. The ATV? Is there a setting I have to change?
My first thoughts are try a different HDMI cable or a different HDMI input on your tv. I’m assuming the tv in question is the new one?Last night we were watching Hulu via ATV 4K for the first time.

ATV4K settings should be the following:
Format: 4K SDR
HDMI Output: YCbCr
Chroma: 4:4:4
Match Content: Match Dynamic Range "On"/Match Frame Rate "On"
Last night the ATV4K wasn’t even putting out a signal per my Denon AVR. So I unplugged it’s power and HDMI and plugged them back in. Then I checked out Robert’s settings. The Format was 4K HDR (I think), HDMI output was correct as was Chroma. Both the Match Content settings were off. In all cases I corrected them to Robert’s settings.Sounds like a handshake issue. Check if firmware is up to date on receiver, TV, and ATV. If everything is current and you are still having the issue, try disconnecting power to everything (I usually just turn the power off at the surge protector), wait a few minutes, then power everything up. That usually resolves any handshake issues for me.
My Sony TV will do that if there's been a firmware update or a power failure. I have to use the Sony remote to power cycle the TV, and then my Logitech remote works without issue.Something odd, but helpful started happening. When the new LG was first setup, my Logitech universal remote wouldn’t turn it on or off. I thought it might work since the previous TV was an LG LED. I hadn’t gotten around to doing the reprogramming when the Logitech remote stated working with the new TV. I don’t know why it started working.
If your setting is on 4K HDR or 4K Dolby Vision then everything including your ATV menu screen will have HDR or DV activated depending on which setting. By using the settings I supplied, your ATV unit will only output 4K HDR or DV once it detects such a 4K signal. Your HD material will be shown in HD.Last night the ATV4K wasn’t even putting out a signal per my Denon AVR. So I unplugged it’s power and HDMI and plugged them back in.

The ATV started working and I watched a West Wing without any problems. No blanking of the screen. Yeah.

The blooming issues were with my LG UH8500 led and began with the 4K disc, the blu ray did not have those problems. The are no blooming issues with the LG OLED and Pitch Black looks wonderful on the OLED. If I had been willing to spend the time I probably could have fixed the blooming on the UH8500.The blooming issues you are seeing with Pitch Black aren’t tv issues. They are by design and part of the encode.
I what way? Pitch Black was shot and processed to look very different. I know it’s dangerous to say I remember how it looked in the theater, but……I think the 4K on my OLED has got it right.Great. It’s just a very different look than the previous versions I have seen!
