I looked through the first post but don’t think I can identify what this issue is (darkened areas in certain scenes) https://youtu.be/g927bJv5y-4 Is there a term for this (other than, mytvisfucked)

Does the tv have any sort of dynamic backlighting feature in the menu? I'm wondering if that combined with some failing LED's, or even a failing led driver board, is causing the weird fluctuations in the dimming. Kind of going with MyTvIsFucked as the technical term though. Perhaps make and model information would give someone more knowledgeable an idea.

You know in those old timey shows where the analog TV won't stay tuned into it channel right, and dad walks over and smacks it, and it fixes it? Might be worth trying to give it a good smack and see if that seats the power connections for those backlight LEDs. Worth a shot Otherwise, yeah, warranty return

AppleTV is probably overpriced but it's worth it ten times over for me just for the piece of mind to never have to use a janky app for anything.

It's a pretty good price for the hardware you get, I think, and the software is certainly well worth it. Infuse is the bomb.

Black Friday sales usually only apply to low/mid-range sets. Depending on what TVs you're looking at you probably won't see any major price differences between now and next month.

I have a 10 year old 42” Toshiba, so I’m sure even low/mid-range set would be a huge upgrade. Probably just looking for a 55”-65” 4K tv from a name brand.

I used an ATV4K on the LG OLEDs I've previously owned and used webOS (which is trash) literally never. I got my dad an Apple TV when I fixed his Internet Subscription. Man the remotes on those things are terrible, with it’s sort of touch pad. I am surprised that someone invented something worse than those Magic Remotes. Even the TV’s Smart Interface at least let’s you move over icons to select what you want.

Turn off TruMotion and then just adjust the other sliders to your liking. The correct picture settings for your new TV are whatever picture settings look the best to you.

Anything that pops the HDR/Dolby Vision setting sets backlight to 100 so that it can do the HDR brightness/contrast stuff

I have my TV connected to a soundbar via optical. Is there a way to make it so that I can control the volume via the TV remote instead of having to use the sound bar remote? Would I be able to do that if I used the HDMI cable? I do have a hdmi arc or whatever it's called, but I'd hate to shuffle around back down for no reason.

It's very ymmv but theoretically yes, using an HDMI cable instead of an optical one would enable HDMI-CEC which would allow you to control your soundbar volume with your TV remote.

loving greentoe vendor took a week to even ship my TV, and now it's going to take another week to get here, because they use some chintzy logistics service instead of FedEx like everyone else. My last greentoe vendor shipped immediately and I got my TV the same week. Hit or miss I guess.

The exact model of TV I was looking at buying this holiday season just popped up as a refurbished Woot deal. Is it a good idea? https://electronics.woot.com/offers/lg-alexa-built-in-cx-4k-smart-oled-3 I am still a novice when it comes to AV stuff, though I enjoy it quite a bit. Is a refurbished TV a bad idea? Should I wait for Black Friday or is BF stuff pretty much only the derivative models? Oh, and the TV stand I have (a floor cabinet, it’s not a wall mount) says it supports TVs up to 55” and 75 lbs. Can I safely upgrade to a 65” if it’s less than 75 lbs, as long as the stand is in the center of the TV?

Refurb on an OLED is dicey but on the bright side it's this year's model so the damage might not be that bad. Personally I wouldn't take the chance for what amounts to $250 in savings, but it's probably fine.
