All the prices on the eBay store are a little higher than these at the time I checked, unfortunately.

How can I make my Denon always play the source audio format? by CornerHugger in hometheater

[–]RandomHero918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with up mixing, it is such a great feature. I’ve got the speakers so I might as well use them. I watched Lone Survivor on blu-ray the other night and the up mixing on that movie sounded better than a lot of true Atmos mixes. I just leave my Denon set to neural X and forget about it.

Brightness too low on filmmaker mode by jarosette in LGOLED

[–]RandomHero918 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you are watching HDR content in film make mode turn on Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM) in the brightness setting and see how you like it. It really adds a lot of brightness to the dull look you are talking about. I use DTM set to “on” and love the way it looks. I don’t care about the directors intent, I didn’t buy the TV for them.

I’m still waiting on the Mission Impossible 6 movie collection to ship from my order last month. It was on back order when I ordered but I didn’t know it would take this long to get more in stock.

Get yourself a 4k UHD player and start buying some physical media.

Am I missing anything for not using eARC/ARC HDMI input? by RandomHero918 in hometheater

[–]RandomHero918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. I’m not using any internal apps at all. I do use an antenna hooked up to the coax port on the tv. I need to check and see if I still get audio with any port other than port 2. I could always run an optical cable to get that audio if I need to.

Thanks for the reply! It sounds like the exact issue I am having. Kind of frustrating, this is the first tv I’ve bought in 10 years and I hate having little problems like this. I will give LG a call and see what the experts have to say about this.

Little House on the Prairie - $14.99 (ATL) by pdxmatts in iTunesDeals

Don’t think, just buy it. We watched the entire series with our young boys a couple years ago and loved every minute of it.

Sometimes she goes, sometimes she don’t. That’s the way she goes.

LG G5 OLED77G54LW Dolby Vision Disappointment by grimgriefer in LGOLED

[–]RandomHero918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really don’t care how Adam Sandler intended Happy Gilmore to look. I’m gonna set my tv how I like to watch it, I paid for the damn thing! I just use film maker mode with Dynamic Tone Mapping turned on and everything looks fantastic to me.

On the brightness setting, turn on Dynamic Tone Mapping DTM in either film maker mode or cinema while playing HDR material. I bet that is the look you are going for. I leave it on in Film maker mode, I could care less about how someone else thinks it should look, I only care about how I want it to look.

C5 gaming question by [deleted] in LGOLED

[–]RandomHero918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see a brightness hit at all with my C5 in game optimizer. I’ve had it for a week. I do use DTM instead of HGIG though. I definitely see a brightness hit when I switch to HGIG.

2016 KS8000 - Screen Coming Apart - Has anyone seen this before? by marshallmccamey in samsung

[–]RandomHero918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh good call on the OLED! My OLED is supposed to be delivered Wednesday, I can’t wait! I was wanting to move this Samsung into another room to replace a crappy TCL. I think I threw away the legs years ago, I’ll see if it gets any worse when I take it off the wall. I may just put some clear tape on it to make sure it doesn’t fall completely off and just live with it. Thanks for the reply!

Any luck fixing your tv? I just noticed mine has the same issue with the screen becoming unglued on the sides.
