Do you have a newer Apple TV and an iPhone? They have a calibration tool where the iPhone listens to audio while a pattern shows on the tv that will automatically determine the delay.

That happened with me and ARC a few years ago on a soundbar. The audio was constantly off and I couldn't take it. Thankfully the TV speakers are fine on my current LG but I am getting an OLED later this year and I am worried the built in speakers will suck. I do eventually want to get some towers for the floor and a receiver but the TV budget comes first.

I think this is only for if you’re airplaying to HomePods or other airplay capable speakers. However, I did use it in my office where I use HomePods as my tv speakers and it worked great!

OldSenileGuy posted:I watch 95% of my media on an AppleTV that’s connected to my receiver, and the receiver is connected to the TV (LG C2). And no matter how much fiddling or tweaking I do with the delays, I always feel like the audio is juuuuuuuust a hair out of sync. Even when I spend time tweaking it to where I think it looks good, the next day or so I’ll see something that looks off again. It’s almost like a psychological thing where because I know it MIGHT be slightly out of sync, I’m always over analyzing it and tricking myself into thinking it is. Or maybe IT IS!! Yeah, I had a similar situation but with my PS5 connected directly to my LG C1 and it drove me insane. Something in this chain: PS5 -> TV -> Receiver ... was lagging with Dolby or DTS audio. Uncompressed PCM audio was lag free but it was in stereo because my receiver was too old and didn't support eARC. Had to upgrade that which presented further challenges for reasons that don't matter here. The way I could test and confirm the lag was kind of funny. In one of my games there's a scene where a song will play from the game audio and also on the PS5 controller's built in speaker at the same time. With PCM audio they sounded fine but with Dolby Digital it sounded like an echo because the audio played from the (wireless) controller a half second before it played through my speakers. In summary, digital surround sound is a pain in the rear end if you care about lag/latency. wash bucket fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Mar 8, 2023 |

I've also got a Samsung TV issue, just wondering if anyone has run into this. I think the ARC HDMI port on the TV got messed up somehow. It's not sending data/sound to my receiver but my receiver is sending some signals to it. It's not bad HDMI cables and when I plugged my receiver into a friend's TV it appeared to work correctly although I didn't test too hard. Has anyone seen this? It worked correctly until a month ago. There have been no updates firmware wise to my TV/receiver for months and no updates are ready. And both TV/receiver are set to use ARC with their respective settings. I kind of want to get a new TV but I don't think I watch enough to justify it. I think I'm content waiting until this Black Friday to get something decent for like $1500 or so.

I've finally managed to get it to output sound to my av receiver via arc, but it's incapable of receiving any input through that port. I also can't use my ps5 when the av receiver is plugged in via arc, as it causes the screen to regularly black out, flicker or go green. It's not perfect, but otoh I've had this TV for going on 6 years now and it's been pretty reliable otherwise.

qbert posted:Depends on your budget. Both options are good for their price range. If you can wait a little bit, I hear this year’s X90L model is a decent improvement over the K. Not sure how much it’ll cost at launch though. I ordered the Bravia XR X90K. Will post trip report when it gets here over the weekend.

Nearly all should work provided you have the correct streaming device to input the right thing. I think there's like one Black Mirror episode that's like 50fps and Dolby Vision. But DV content above 30fps is extremely rare.

I've got a wierd issue with my Sony smart tv. I'm using some speakers connected via optical cable which have worked fine for a year or so. However, now I'm getting an issue in apps like Netflix and Prime where the sound will play in menus, previews etc but when i select an episode to watch there is no audio. What the gently caress?

field balm posted:I've got a wierd issue with my Sony smart tv. I'm using some speakers connected via optical cable which have worked fine for a year or so. The TV should have some audio output setting to control the format of the audio going to the optical output. (For example there may be settings for PCM, automatic, Dolby Digital, etc.). You could try changing those options and hoping you find one that works. (PCM will only provide 2 channel stereo, but is probably the setting most likely to work with whatever device you're sending the audio to.)

Bobstar posted:Hello I'm another one who's out of touch with TVs. Currently got a 42" 4K Samsung nothing-special model from 7-8 years ago, looking at upgrading to something bigger/better. I ended up going for a C2 55" in the end, found a decent deal. Wow. This is quite an upgrade. Hitman looks amazing in HDR. Extra bonus I hadn't thought about : using the remote for other devices. It's adopted the soundbar seamlessly. It also recognised the Xbox One and works to navigate the menus on there - the only thing that's missing is powering it on and off. Is there a way to make the Xbox appear in the [...] More Actions menu? Then I could ditch the Xbox media remote entirely. Edit: kind of figured this out, I had to add it as a Microsoft-brand DVD player, rather than letting the TV magically detect it as an Xbox Bobstar fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Mar 17, 2023 |

I have an interesting quirk with my LG C2 that I can't seem to figure out: Highlights have some blocky artifacting, but if I switch video modes it goes away until I turn the TV back on. I'll try attaching a video to illustrate, but it might blend in with the youtube artifacts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zadqipg36E e: setting general>oled care>oled panel care>adjust logo brightness to off fixes this CopperHound fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Mar 18, 2023 |

The 48" is actually heavier, because it's using the old back panel/case design from the C1 series. The other C2 sizes uses an updated back that's much lighter than the previous year's model.

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.

According to rtings.com, QD-OLED tvs might be more susceptible to burn-in than WOLED tvs. https://youtu.be/my1lyUE7WVM Keep in mind that they’re running test scenarios that are uncommon to the average user’s use case, however their explanation for why burn-in might be more likely in QD-OLED panels makes sense. Just something to consider when you’re getting your next tv.

lmao at this when Samsung bullshitted up QLED to get people to lump it in with OLED and then marketed it by playing up the even-then very negligible burn-in risk of OLED

Is there a guide for setting up your first home theater system? Recommended speakers/subs to buy for this kind of unit?
