Dynamic is usually too bright!

3 ways u can play..

.. eco off.. eco1.. eco2
.. std, movie, dynamic, etc.
.. each of them, adjust own detail preference

Have fun for 2 weeks. Then u will settle for something.

yes, i understand that 5ghz as a higher frequency is stronger than 2.4 but with higher losses, it's only good for short distances.

question is how short is short... 20, 30, 50, 100ft? at what point does it negate the use of 5ghz? depends on the router specs, i would think.

"throughput" - this is interesting, meaning it can "push" more bits and bytes per sec? if so, that will surely be good.

will need to read up and test at next opportunity.


something to do with...

.. operating frequency efficiency
.. router specs
.. tv networking specs

i suppose!

will be good if you can test a 35-40gb bdmv m2ts video, see if the tv and router can take it. thanks.

my android box can take everything except this size of bdmv's when it comes to streaming wifi 2.4ghz from pc.

only 20ft... not very useful then.

will read up and experiment a bit more.

thanks, that's good to know.

meaning 5ghz should be able to handle bdmv's 1080p & 2160p if distance is <30 ft.

the kodi u get on the tv is as good as any kodi in any box.

if u get the right build, it works wonders.

yes, check up kodi thread, experiment - kodi takes quite some knowledge and trials to get it working well.

that movie was filmed in uhd4k (or higher), available in bluray 4k.

the file u hv is a 1080p, maybe not ripped well.

yes, it does come out a "grainy", like some others that come out darker than usual.

i think it's because the tv upscales the 1080p. if u use a 1080p tv, it will not be the case.



i assume u are using kodi in the tv.

i am not sure if u can change the video output in kodi to lower, say 1080i or 720p.

if u r using a box like i do, can set the box output that way, the tv will upscale "less".

that way, it will be less grainy - i tried it, but observed that details are be lost.

i like it "grainy"! i set my box to 2160p 24 or 30hz, the tv does whatever it can, picture is as good as it gets.

by the way, the movie is a visual dazzler - you want to see the color and details of the mountains, snow, water, forest.. besides the freckles and moustaches!

it's the file itself.

such bdmv's come in a variety of "quality" too.

i actually dislike some of them that come out too dark!



if u know kodi, do make full use of it.

the tv android can take up to 9gb of your own stuff, so, plenty to work with.

e.g. those 4gb files u mentioned, u can actually get them direct on kodi-quasar on the tv.

assuming u hv 10mbps or higher.

and u get live sports incl bpl in hd - just the tv, no need any box.

do visit the kodi thread!

did u buy it?

there are surely differences, no biz will sell 2 same things for diff price!

the differences were discussed in this thread.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3887746/+40#bottom

besides picture quality, one will also decide on how many hdmi input, arc audio quality, what android inside, etc.


for someone who does not want the android and only need 2 hdmi, the ue630x may not be a better buy.

i need 4 hdmi. and i love the android inside!

Frankly, I do not know if I can use the android inside well if not for the fact that I have used android boxes for >2 years now.

Guys, if u haven't tried enough, check out YouTube in the tv.

Search for UHD or 4K...

Lots of incredibly stunning videos.

You can only get these in 2160p with the tv; boxes won't do, like Netflix 4K.



After watching a few more, I have to think about buying google stock.

google owns youtube.

google parent co. is ALPHABET, $725 a share.

U mean u have a 4K video on HDD, how to play?

U can use the usb ports of the tv, play with media function. Note the USB ports don't read certain brands or models of HDD too well.

U can use kodi app to play the HDD.

The default tv player and Kodi are the best.

Vlc, Es, mx players u can get on playstore do not support 4K, subs can be problematic.

Or, can get a standalone box player that will deliver 4K. This is the best way to play all files, all formats, easy navigation, get HD audio, etc.

can do that in device network next to settings.

hv u change dns in other device(s) before?

if not, i worry u might lose yr current connection!

i do not know samsung except that it works on tizen, not androidtv found in sharp, sony and philips.

so, it will be a little different.

if u know androids, it works exactly the same, be it tv, box, tablet or phone.

to change dns, u just go to network settings, switch from dhcp to static, and key in yr new ip/dns.

ue630x will give netflix uhd, but what dns u use to get usa content, i wouldn't know.

not a good move if parents want those channels and u gave up the hyppbox.


the tv has a good android inside but is not going to give what hypptv or astro can give.

options:

.. learn what androids do, learn kodi... can get tv3, 7, 9 (not 8 to my knowledge but some experts probably can get) but no guarantee they remain.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3943906
.. get help from some one, use hypp everywhere on the tv (again, need to know how androids work)
.. get astro iptv

the tv will show only apps it selects and approved by sharp. but u can open up the android to install yr own apps in there, incl chrome browser.
read the manual, check out all the functions incl settings.

the android inside is a good one.

The youtube there is very good.
Just search "uhd", u find dozens of nice videos in 4K - u need to set to 2160p at youtube; assuming u have good speed.
Search for skynews - this UK news station comes on live in HD.
Not many live TV stations on Youtube, I find.

The playstore there is customized to allow only certain apps and versions.

Any apk will work on the TV android after u allowed access for "user installed apps" in settings.

Chrome browser... just google on pc, get the apk and install it with es file explorer (this one, u can get at TV playstore).

Some knowledge about androids is required to do the above and more.

this one?
http://www.mea.philips.com/c-p/55PUT6800_5.../specifications

never checked this tv, but from the specs...

4 hdmi, 3 usb = same as sharp ue630x.

android os = same.

but it says android 8gb memory expandable with usb - this may be useful for heavy android apps user.



my suggestion would be to trust yr eyes and wallet. the 2 together will give u the answer.

one thing u will like if u have broadband 30mbps or higher.

whether sharp or sony or philips - their 4k tv's come with google android os, currently all of them are lollipop 5.1.

this feature is valuable:

.. netflix uhd 4k.
.. youtube with 4k 2160p videos.
.. can install your own apps - the most powerful one is KODI:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3943906
with KODI, it opens up a whole new dimension - int'l news, sports, movies, etc. in hd too.
if new to kodi, do get to it if u buy an android os tv. no need for any box!

not sure what u mean... what "device"?
