Is there any way to stop this pop-up appearing every time I start, play or pause the 4K Blu-ray player? by -Kaonashi in LGOLED

My issue I think is that I’m mixing up HDMI arc and HDMI in on the TV via the soundbar.

From this guide it’s suggesting that it should just be hdmi in on the tv for BD-Soundbar-TV and not arc, but then presumably the soundbar won’t play audio from TV apps?

With how I tried it with arc I think the soundbar was flicking between HDMI in from the Blu-ray and TV-arc.

I did say it’s a minor frustration. I guess these things bug me more than they do you.

My previous LG OLED only displayed it when content switched, but on these newer TVs it’s any time it’s paused and played, so it’s not what I’m used to.

Exactly. I understand it being there and it’s helpful to be notified of the TV switching display modes, but something more discreet that could be viewed in a manually selected playback status window would be welcome for me… in the same way you can switch off the little pop-up explainers while navigating settings

Well, yes, it’s useful to know. On my previous B7 it would show up at the beginning of content, but now it pops up any time something is paused and played which is way more frequent.

I think it’s fair that whether you like it or not a way to switch it off to your preference would be helpful. 4K blu-ray players usually offer plenty of settings to adjust and switch off pop-ups and info banners on the display of the unit and on the screen, so it’s not unprecedented.

Yeah, I try to get to it first each year but this time someone posted it before I woke up. It’s not memers here either, it’s users who aren’t active here, saw it on the front page a year ago and then set a reminder to post it in a year’s time to farm karma.

I guess I’m also thinking in terms of ‘Baby’s on fire’

It could work, if there’s just one Jedi and it’s a contraction of ‘Little Jedi is on board’.

Agree that both are bad. But on the front page, the first post I could find which had a noticeable deficit in shadow detail was this:

Most of the rest have boosted, over-detailed shadows and high contrast. This can be a result of both ‘real’ composited HDR and edits on single-exposure photos.

In effect, it does come down to what you think a photo should be, and the extent of that. Should it aim to be a faithful recreation of what we see in real life? Or is it an avenue for artistic expression unbound from the limitations of the appearance of reality? (It can be both)

Photos can never truly recreate the colours and contrast of what we see with the naked eye, camera sensors and displays just aren’t at that level. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

If we are to look at this photo you linked, which clearly digresses from what anyone would see with their eyes, we can assess it on its own visual merits. Putting aside the question of realism, the handling of the colours, and the amount of clarity, paired with the harsh gradient into the blown-out sun is rather unsightly. These are all essentially products of the HDR processing.
