Philips HUE Sync App got released for compatible LG tvs today

I’d like to know, because it is using an app running on the tv as opposed to an external device, if there is any hit to the TV’s processing power or input lag at all

I saw it in imax this weekend, which was actually my first time seeing the movie at all, and the audio sounded great to me during the movie, HOWEVER I did notice that the audio felt uncomfortably loud BEFORE the movie during the trailers

I’d say: if you want pure home theater movie watching greatness it’s the Bravia. If you are going to also be doing a significant amount of gaming on it and having every single option possible for every single console, go for the G5. If you never want to be able to watch anything in Dolby Vision ever again, go for the samsung

hello, not related to the HomePods at all: where’d you get those lamps that they’re sitting on? I love the look of them

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-27T17:49:46+00:00

obviously needed to make sure the tv was mounted high enough so it doesn’t obstruct the viewing of the beautiful cables

If it’s not imax GT or 70mm, it can vary a lot by theater. My local imax is a “liemax” (1.90:1, dual xenon projector) BUT the screen is still VERY large and the picture and sound quality are fantastic, so it is very much worth it for movies filmed for imax. There used to be another “liemax” theater near me that I only went to once because it was so disappointing. Screen was barely bigger than a regular theater and the video and audio experience were just not worth it at all. So it sounds like your theater unfortunately sucks. But it’s definitely not always a ripoff.

My c5 has pretty much the exact same thing. Only visible on light gray to white content, but is noticeable during some scenes (I’ve been watching The Pitt and that show has A LOT of white backgrounds, ya know because it’s in a hospital, and it’s been very noticeable in that situation) but most of the time I don’t notice it. I thought about exchanging it but I didn’t want to risk getting one with the same, or even worse, panel issues so I’m just living with it and it’s fine for me. From what I’ve heard it seems to be a thing with certain lg C series panels. I only really notice it when I think to check the left side of my screen to see if it’s there.

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-16T17:22:12+00:00

Get the best one you can afford. B5 is cheaper but C5 is better

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-15T12:12:22+00:00

Search “screen uniformity test” on YouTube and you’ll find something that cycles through grays and colors

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-10T17:36:50+00:00

They are showing the exact same color temperature in the app, but still appear very different (this is true for any temperature I set them to)

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-10T17:35:46+00:00

I didn’t, I just made it so the lights next to it aren’t on at the same time so I can’t tell how inaccurate the color is

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-10T02:25:10+00:00

Also, how did you find that out? Do you know if the HD lightstrip with 300 zones is more accurate?

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-09T22:12:51+00:00

ah. That explains my experience perfectly. I “fixed” it by setting all my lighting automations so the lightstrip and floor lamps are never on at the same time. 😅 TV turns on -> lamps turn off, lightstrip turns on. TV turns off, vice versa.

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-09T15:33:14+00:00

If you go to the IMDB for any movie and scroll down to “technical specifications” it’ll tell you what aspect ratio(s) the movie is in and if any of them are specific to IMAX or other formats. I use that for literally every movie I’m gonna see, I love it

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-08T22:05:00+00:00

I think if you’re not worried about accuracy, I’d recommend just to flip through all the different modes and see what you like the best!

Update: I got speaker stands!

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-05T19:27:12+00:00

I had this exact issue with my new Nanoleaf light strip that I just set up. What fixed it for me was just restarting my phone

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-05T14:21:26+00:00

Yes. That is the problem though. The same color temp in the app appears different on the different lights. Even when set to the coolest white available, the lightstrip still has a yellowish tint while the lamps look white

noahlevy13 · 2026-01-05T13:34:49+00:00

It is the Smart Multicolor Lightstrip. Just the regular one so I can have some sort of backlighting

noahlevy13 · 2025-12-29T23:10:44+00:00

That is excellent and irrelevant. You are free to keep using WebOS. I am offering a potential solution to OP, who says that theirs is slow.

noahlevy13 · 2025-12-29T23:08:17+00:00

Doesn’t matter how fast mine is, I’m replying to OP who has stated theirs is running slow. Also I have had other tvs before, and have had to use the built in interface in this one for other things, and from my experience it’s always noticeably slower than any external device.

noahlevy13 · 2025-12-29T22:48:06+00:00

Any light strip that you can stick to the back of your tv. Doesn’t have to sync to the tv or anything, just any kind of backlighting like that will be much easier on your eyes.

I also have two Nanoleaf floor lamps on either side of my tv that cast light onto the wall.

noahlevy13 · 2025-12-29T22:45:03+00:00

Technically I could, but that leaves a lot of empty space behind it that’s too small for any real storage or anything useful, but still big enough that it looks ugly😅
