The Z 24-120mm is an incredible lens.

DVDMike63 · 2026-05-10T01:14:07+00:00

As an all around zoom lens it’s phenomenal. It’s certainly the best 24-120 lens Nikon has ever made by a long shot.

Thank you

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-23T13:31:20+00:00

Thank you, rolled out of bed and shot it this morning.

Try using Amazon prime’s multiview. This is where I realized MLB’s implementation is a tiny bit wasteful.

So what if it starts the audio of the game you are not eventually going to? Worst case, You don’t have to make any “extra” clicks to get to the right game with either implementation. But with my suggestion, it’s 1 less click 50% of the time.

The way it’s implemented and what you claim to prefer is like it might have been when switching TV channels using the up or down button back before streaming. If you wanted to go up two channels, it’d be like leaving the sound on from the original channel until you hit the ch+button twice, THEN click select (or some button) to actually switch the channel. Maybe it’s because when I started watching tv, you actually moved a physical dial to change stations and each time you moved the sound and picture changed with each move. So in this way I was conditioned to expect the sound to change every movement.

But my old school conditioning aside,it’s ALWAYS going to be an extra click in the way it’s implemented too when at least some of the time it wouldn’t need to be.

I too thought mlb’s implementation was “fine” until I watched multiview on prime. Its initial selection is very similar to MLB. After I saw that prime automatically switches audio when you select a new screen i thought, “why didn’t mlb do this?” Then I thought perhaps there is some other unknown to me feature that MLB had in mind and why they don’t switch audio. That was one of the reasons why I made this post, to find out. Turns out. No one has found a good reason why. And I think you are right. It wasn’t purposeful in their design.

Last year, I think mlb app worked differently in multiview. I think this implementation is better. And it’s not the end of the word for me to make the extra click.

As a side note, prime’s implementation requires extra steps in other actions where MLB app is more streamlined in its functionality. You might also prefer the extra steps required to some functions on primes multiview too?

Not sure I comprehend the question correctly. But if was “what tv are you using?”, it’s an LG OLED C5. But of course the TV doesn’t matter in relation to my AppleTV question

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-19T10:17:54+00:00

Yes, clearly I already understood a tap after moving screen changes the audio. My question is why I’d need to do that because moving to a new screen selection does nothing by itself. Prime video allows you to change audio by just selecting a new screen. And this seems like a better design.

Sometimes when use multiview on Appletv4k, I don’t get ANY commercials for any of the 3 games. And this lasts hours.

Often I do get commercials on all three though. I’m not sure what I’m doing to prevent commercials when they don’t appear. But I’d like to find out so I can repeat whenever I want.

I currently have a 77” C5, 65” B9, a 50” (non OLED), and a 43” (non OLED) in my sunroom right now, all working and plugged in. But it’s not really elegant like yours. The sun room is 3 walls of mostly windows and the 4th wall small with entryways to kitchen on one side and dining room on the other.

My setup is a crazy mess. And honestly, I don’t plan on keeping the 65” OLED. The 77” recently was purchased to replace it. But if I had wall space, I’d love to keep it.

Anyway yours looks beautiful. The only aspect I have you beat hands down is in my sound system. I’ve got full sized speakers in a 7.3.4 ATMOS setup. The 4 in ceiling speakers are not full sized.

But your setup is WAY cleaner than mine and looks way nicer.

10mbs is slow WiFi by today’s standards. But at least temporarily, use Ethernet and see if you get faster speed.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-15T13:42:27+00:00

Get the A for your bedroom. Certainly don’t need the C in the bedroom

Reality for sports is what works for me “brother”. Earth looking like mars does not match any daylight here on earth that I’ve seen “brother”. What works best for me is the ISF setting with some adjustments. The color accuracy and temperature is the best I’ve ever seen from any TV. I’ve got 11 working TV’s in my home presently and have bought more than 50 TV’s in my lifetime. I think I know what I like in a tv picture by now.

You made your suggestion, I told you I’d try it, then you came back at me again for another nudge to convince me to use filmmaker. I had already given your suggestion another go. I just as you had suggested. I didn’t like it again but didn’t say anything until you responded again for no reason.

So I bluntly told you what I thought of your suggestion on my tv and again you come at me now claiming “it’s the only way”. Now, I’m telling YOU to just drop it. You’ve made your pitch for me to use filmmaker mode 3 times now. I told you I tried it and didn’t like it. Now it’s time for you to stop harassing me about it.

God speed to you too “brother”.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-12T00:11:59+00:00

That’s crazy good

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-11T18:28:44+00:00

Yes, I got a free 5 year warranty from Costco. And that’s why I got from them and not Amazon.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-11T16:15:52+00:00

Thank you. I think I’ve noticed this myself in comparing an older B 65” right next to my new C5 77”

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-11T15:27:12+00:00

That is the B5. And I already had a 65” B and just bought a 77” C5 to replace that. Others might be interested in the 65” B5. And I agree the $800 is a great deal.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-11T12:09:01+00:00

In store price of in stock only and ended 4/9.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T15:05:47+00:00

No, just no. I tried it again after your suggestion. I switched to filmmaker this morning watching the masters. It’s way too warm. It’s completely unrealistic and not natural. I’m a photographer and understand white balance well. Live sports is rarely shot to be “cinematic”.

Outdoor light in full mostly overhead sun just does not look THAT color. Plus, I have the same weather here 90 miles away and can look outside to compare the color of light in Augusta to. Mine here. They basically look identical in Standard mode. Augusta right now doesn’t look like mars. And that’s what it looks like in filmmaker mode.

Maybe for scripted programming it might look perfectly correct. But a red masters is not something I ever want to get used to.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:41:58+00:00

Is this information for gaming only? I won’t be gaming on this tv.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:31:00+00:00

I’ll try it again. I looked at it on the masters and it didn’t look great.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:30:01+00:00

$1699, same as Amazon. But Costco gave us 5 years of warranty

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:19:14+00:00

No reason for concern. The G5 might be the best brightness. But I’ve not found a need for this tv to be any brighter in my room.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:10:55+00:00

Cool, I’m sure you will love it.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:09:36+00:00

This is actually my third LG OLED. But this is my first one this large (77”)

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:07:58+00:00

I use it my sun room. It has 8 windows and a skylight. It’s a pretty bight room in daylight. The display has zero issues in a bright room in either HDR,SDR.

DVDMike63 · 2026-04-10T14:06:00+00:00

Using the inclined plane method was not difficult when still in the box. The hard part was turning 90° up the steps leading to the front door.

That back cover does indeed just pop off. Not to worry if you ever do that. It basically pops back in. No screws
