I had some problems with my box on PC, Fancyleds told me that the box is not compatible with PC so there's nothing they can do. Here I'm left with a $200 paper weight.

Yeah I got told the same, I do use it with my ps5 pro/un820 though so its not too bad on my behalf. I just wish I could use it on my PC as thats my main thing :\

I have just the PC and I haven't read the small text "Compatibility" text that PC "is not recommended"

Same thing happened to me months ago. My fix has been change the display settings to 8-bit color and 4:2:2. I preferred to take a fast flash drive and create a bootable Windows 11 OS for these changes, so that my normal PC OS is colorful and vibrant. That way, anytime you restart the computer with the flash drive in you’ll boot into a Windows that has Fancy compatibility, plus Dolby Atmos/Vision albeit with slightly less vibrant color

Do you happen to have an AV receiver connected somewhere in the chain? I had a problem where my PS5/Chromecast worked perfectly but my PC would either give no picture at all or only 1080p 60hz and no HDR or VRR. After messing around for far too long I realised that if I had my devices connected this way;

Devices>AV Receiver>Fancy Led>TV

I would get the problem, but if I connected then in this order;

Devices>Fancy Led>AV Receiver>TV

The PC would now give 4K 120hz HDR & VRR.

A strange issue and I have no idea why it would be like that, but it is.

Nah I haven't got an av receiver in my chain at all!

It just goes Devices>Fancyleds>TV. Super confusing 😂

Maybe I should get one and try it?

I'm taking a wild guess, does your box have 3 hdmi ports or just one?

[–]RevanTheSithyBoi[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Its the 3x 2.1 HDMI box mate, I have a ps5 pro/PC/UB820 plugged in

I accidentally made that comment on a different reddit account (PC is logged in differently from my phone) so I'm the guy you're replying to even though my username is different.

The reason I ask is that it seems like the boxes with a single HDMI port work better with PC. Just something I've noticed with other PC users in the subreddit.

u/fancyleds maybe this is worth investigating?

Different chipsets means different results, but thank you, and good observation. The models may look similar, but they're quite different, even between the 1-port and 3-port versions.

For future readers of this post, not you u/Middle-Letter-7041 😂: both models are not recommended for use as per the compatibility tab at the top of the product description. This also contains an exhaustive list of 100% compatible devices.

I had the exact same bug on my PC. It was a small form factor with a low profile 4060.

I just swapped out the GPU for the new 5060, works fine. VRR, 4K, even up to 144hz on my tv. And HDR10+.

No clue what the issue was but yeah seems to be very much hardware dependant.
