I thought no video processing in Filmmaker mode?

I have 2 more questions.
1. I plug in a external HDD with ripped Blue ray mkv files. The preinstalled photo/video apps can play but it says audio not supported. It will play the mkv files but no sound. What's up?
2. I can't find the Disney plus apps on the LG store.

1) Im using the internal app and same issue with touristking.

You use PC as media player. Madvr app? What else I should install?
*
1) Internal Player is not good and mostly not support DTS soundtrack, thus you get no sound. Also I think not support lossless track also. Can't remember, I know it is bad support in sound foremat and I won't use it or explorer it.
2) Malaysia is not support Disney+ yet, you can get it by changing the region but you cannot use it also as region locked, unless you VPN it.

I have tried watching Strangers things about the floating blacks issue at S3 E6 20:22. With both the LG apps and Fire Stick 4K. Overall, LG's apps is slightly better.

With the LG, there are occasional brief flashing of lights. May be once or twice.

With the fire stick, I see "flowers' of dark grey around instead of total black and lasting longer.
*
Depends on what Player you use. I currently using Apple TV 4K as Apple did the best in everything thus I only use Apple TV 4K instead of the TV apps.

Question on screensaver

With build in Netflix apps, if we pause the streaming for 2+ minutes, the screen saver will come on.

But if streaming Netflix from a Fire Stick and pause, the screen saver will never come on.

Anyone know why?
*
It depends on how the device design.

Apple TV 4K also won't appear Netflix screensaver but instead Apple tvOS own screensaver.

Mi Box if not remember wrongly also won't appear Netflix screensaver but instead Android TV own screensaver.

So far I know Netflix screensaver is appear at LG and Panasonic TV, I think all TV will have this feature.

The problem for me is, there aren't that many great movies. And it can get boring watching pristine quality video of birds and landscapes etc.

They are plenty, check blu-ray.com to get more titles. Currently under maintenance, check once it is up.

It is by no means going to replace or match any real calibration with toolkit .

We are always aiming for 6500k for color temperature but there are rarely any commercial display can land right on that number , usually 6400-6600 would be considered very accurate .
In that case , I really doubt an Iphone 12 camera sensor can match a real colorimeter . Even so it probably is using a fairly loose range of numbers to determine the color balance .
Again , calibration requires a reference point , a look up table . How do people know if Iphone 12 or even Samsung Galaxy has an accurate  L.U.T ?  If it is not , how do you calibrate the Iphone 12 's camera sensor to begin with ? You can't .

Last time I check , displaymate , which is what most mobile brands are using as their display reviews , are posting inaccurate numbers and testing is done on pre-shipped , cherry picked units sent specifically from the brands .
Which is almost as reliable as taking law lesson from Kim Kardashian .
Typical as accurate as most OLED TVs are out of the box , they don't require too much work on color balance ,  unfortunately the same can't be said for B9 and BX.
TL;DR : Nice feature but I would not call it a " calibration " , more of a quick examination . Probably works best on cheaper TV such as the ABCs from China , a place where red looks purple , green looks yellow .
*

Off course it can’t be replace with Pro Calibration. Just fun to use it and to know is quite good colour balance.

Those Facebook group user that get calibrate is happy with the result.

Majority user won’t ask for Pro Calibrator. 🙃

I wonder why so many are interested in the tiny 48" model, is it for use as desktop monitor? I feel even 55" is too small to be practical as a TV.

Those target 48" model normally is plan use as Desktop Monitor not as a TV.

Yeah the app is totally full of shit. Everything is 1080p. Rather use vpn with disney+ . U get atmos as well.

Ya, only HD and no 4K, no HDR, no 5.1 audio, no Dolby Atmos.
Apple TV 4K and Chromecast with Google TV do have 4K and HDR but no Dolby Atmos and many film suppose came with 4K HDR but here Disney+ Hostar only give you HD.

I already switch to Disney+ US edition and VPN to Canada as I want Star channel inside.
I didn't paid extra for the Hulu and ESPN.

Suprisingly express vpn works very well with disney+. My shieldtv very fast can get 4k reso already, using US server. Gonna try see canada ok or not.

Weird is that netflix is very slow on the other hand.
*
So far I had test 3 VPN. Surfshark and ExpressVPN both work perfectly smooth and great in VPN to US or Canada. I will continue subscription of Surfshark as it is much cheaper.

Another I test is Windscribe, this one is garbage, slow and movie stop and circle from time to time.

Actually the closer was Singapore, Singapore also came with Disney+ Star.

How you use VPN on OLED? The webOS got ExpressVPN app?

I tested on TV Box not the TV.

For TV, you can use SmartDNS which Surfshark support.
Another way is set at you router.

Final major firmware update for C9 owners btw;

- New Voice Recognition service and features (LG ThinQ AI)
- "Fine Tune Dark Areas" feature (see 2020 models) "Adjust the brightness of the dark part of the game screen to make it more visible while Input related setting is turned on"
- Audio DSP Firmware Update
- HDMI 2.1 Module (HAWK2) Firmware Update (v49.60)
- Video Decoder Firmware Update
- WiFi Module Firmware Update
- CA certificates updated
- Added possibility for animated promotions / ads on the Home Screen
- The text box on the "No Signal" screen can now be hidden
- Small configuration change of the Dolby Vision Cinema mode
- Service Menu: New "BDP Monitoring" option added

Firmware version: 05.20.06
Release date: Dec 8 2021

@bolded are the major features.

Also know that this is an engineering firmware, you can download it from the NSU server. But installing an engineering firmware will absolutely void your warranty, whether or not you have extended 5 years warranty that you bought from a retailer.

Public release will come after CNY.

After CNY, OMG so long waiting time... ...

Not too urgent to buy the tv. watching movies in dark room mostly at night so I think C1 will do the work just fine. right now 65" still MYR 9.6k cheapest in shopee. so wait for a few moon til the price reduce more?

Last time I get at Harvey Norman and they normally do discount when new model arrived. To me that is the best time but also don't wait too long as once new model came also means they is no more release older version later.

I was wondering if any of you guys experienced this whereby the TV just hangs and reboots by itself?

I have gotten this like 3 to 4 times so far at random moments (some during gaming, some was youtube app hung and at times watching Netflix) ever since I got the TV back in August last year.

So far so good, never happened to my older model C9. Touch wood. 😅

I think this depends on when the new model out. It may not in Aug if new model release to market earlier.
