Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now

Well I fixed my issue with full screen games dropping to desktop! Turns out Java was running for some reason and was firing every minute, and when I killed Java problem went away. So now I'm scanning my pc for nasties, but HDR pc gaming is back on the menu for fall releases! I felt kinda bad having a 1080ti and not being able to use it fully...
The UB820, which is a slightly toned down version of the UB9000, is supposed to be $499 so that'll probably become the Blu-Ray player of choice for enthusiasts. That one will support HDR10, 10+ and DV via firmware update.
So I notice that sometimes on my TCL, Xbox dashboard tiles almost smear when I scroll around. Is that normal, for game mode etc.?
Planet Earth II looks ridiculously good on my x900f.
The HDR on this TV looks so much better than on the Samsung 6290 I had. Like going from SD to HD for the first time.
Proper HDR is probably the biggest leap in image quality I've ever seen.

Same, it has enough in it to hold me over until OLEDs drop in price or new tech comes out like microLED
I would have done the same if my panel didn't go bad. I wasn't planning on having to replace it this soon. =(
And planet earth 2 isn't even a particularly great show for HDR or resolution. Grab yourself some other movies
IIRC many people in here say PE2 is THE reference disc for HDR. Is that not true?
My old Panasonic plasma used to do that, when I moved whole pages around.
Now you mention it I don't see it on my new tv.
I wonder if it's FRC kicking in. Have you got your TV set to 10 or 12 bit?
Not really, it was mastered in HLG and converted to St2084 and it's peak brightness across the content is approx 600nits.
It's super pretty and an amazing show, but it looks almost as amazing on the 1080p Blu Ray
Try dropping it down to 8bit, which is what the dashboard is made in anyway. See if that helps
Aha. I can deal with the dashboard being ugly if it means games are better. I believe the TCL set is a 10b panel.
From my understanding, you want to set the Xbox to 8bit and it will automatically adjust to 10bit or something else depending on your panel.
Starting a
Little Google fu and it seems to check out. So strange that it lets you set it , when most shouldn't touch it.
Bought Argos' last LG B7 in the area it seems, will be collecting it tomorrow. Didn't dare risk waiting any longer for price drops, and now the online store has no B7's for delivery or even in any stores to collect now so I feel pretty lucky - talking to customer service, they said they won't be getting any more in. Should be a nice upgrade from my Samsung PS-4296HD
Quite a few TCL sets are 8bit+FRCThe P is 8-bit+FRC.
I mean, I don't atually know if the FRC causes that, but as the Plasmas were usually 6bit+FRC, it would have made sense I saw a similar thing. FRC is s temporal process, so it would make sense that was why I would see it on dark black tiles if I scrolled them very fast
And I assume leave it at standard space, not pc rgb.
And according to https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/3a9f1281 you are right. 8+2.

I ordered the Q6 65" fam. Went in store and compared the Q6/7 and while I do think the Q7 looks slightly better overall and I like the central wire box I realized that's not enough to justify the cost difference for me.
But man it looks good. I'm excite.
Hit me with those calibration guides / setup tips.

wow and it looks incredible, can't wait to try other movies.
I already have a few 4k discs and an XB1X, but the Samsung 6290 I had didn't really do HDR, to the point I preferred to watch those movies with HDR off.
I would love your input on which movies do HDR well out of the ones I own:
Christopher Nolan Collection
Blade Runner
Blade Runner 2049
Arrival
Star Wars 8
Spider Man Homecoming
Thor 3
GOTG2
Logan
Wonder Woman
Black Panther (already saw this one with the new TV and thought it looked great)
Would also love to know which movies (that I don't already own) are considered really good 4K/HDR.
(sorry if I'm asking for too much, I'm in love with HDR and want more!)
Nolan's stuff is all really good. He's a pretty big stickler for image quality. Just finished Dark Knight and it includes all the original IMAX footage which looks super sharp.
That imax footage was the first Blu-ray where I legit felt I was looking through a window.
Totally.
There's a remarkable difference, even in the standard blu ray. Same for transformers 2.
Is there any one reference disc you do recommend then?
Literally the only 4K HDR disc I have is Kimi no na wa, lol
No it's not reference, I don't know why people call it that, when there are tons of soft/grainy aerial shots! That is not reference.
I'll add In The Greatest Showman, and John Wick 2, Gladiator, The Matrix and Saving Private Ryan.

Blue planet 2 is excellent. Especially deep water ones with excellent blacks for the OLED
Yeah worth it. I have an Apple TV 4K but disappointed with most HDR ok those downloads. UHD disk by far better.
Oh wow really? I absolutely love the quality of ATV, looks just like my discs to me. You getting full bandwidth streaming?
IIRC 1440p HDR never worked for me until the April Windows update. Now, it works but Windows keeps rendering at 3840x2160 and gives me a smaller box instead of a scaled, fullscreen 1440p display when in HDR. I believe this only affected exclusive, fullscreen games.
Yep 350mb broadband. Picture is fine. It's just HDR is no where near as good to me.
So we *should* be seeing the same things lol.
You sure you've got active HDR turned on for ATV? Dunno if you're using separate HDMI ports..
Yeah got it all setup right. Works fine. Just not taken by HDR bar colours on he Apple TV so far. Got 40 films on it
Any that stand out as good to you for HDR?
My two most recent are, Logan and The Greatest Showman, Logan has some properly stunning night scenes, and TGS really shows off WCG with some lovely effects. All with fantastic blacks.
Okay this is a bit offtopic but for some it might still be interesting.
In early June, Philips added a gaming mode for its Hue lamps. Now you can build a kind of Ambi Light with the Hue lamps. That effect really blew my mind. It reminds a bit of Microsoft's IllumiRoom.
For the installation you need Philips Hue lamps, and a Pc or Mac with the Hue software. The software tracks the colors of your monitor and displays them with the lamps. With a little trick you can not only play PC games on your monitor or TV with Ambilight, but also with the Xbox and Ps4 thanks to remote. You simply stream from the console to your computer and it sends the signal to the lamps at your TV.
I made a little video of my Ps4 interface last night. I'm gonna do another one tonight playing.

I think it's really good and it strengthens the immersion.

I wonder if having Hugh Jackman in a film, guarantees great HDR!?........Just a thought :)
Resi 7 and banding on a B7 LG man holy shit. Had to change to 420 12bpc to iron it out. Everything else looks amazing but looking down the dimly lit hallway was like 240p compression soup.
Yeah have to say just tried that and even on the Apple TV it showed off HDR well. Bag of shite though!
