Hi. Just got my C7 few days ago. Gorgeous. But have a nagging issue to consult you guys here : how to enable HDR content on PS4 pro to the tv? What i’ve done :
- updated firmwares on both tv and console
- safe mode restarted PS4 pro and enabled only hdcp 1.4 > changed to RGB resolution etc.

Didn’t work and the tv flickered and lose PS4 signal whenever hdr content is on or whenever i turn on UHD Deep Color mode on the source setting on the tv where ps4 pro is connected. I’ve scoured so far many forums but no solution so far that i havent tried except for changing my hdmi cable. Any experience out there?
Very frustrating as i bought the tv solely to experience UHD 4K HDR on PS4 Pro.

Enable back hdcp 1.4 at safe mode
Then at normal mode, untick hdcp

As mentioned, i tried this earlier and didn’t work. It will flicker non stop until i disable back he UHD Deep color on the tv. Did it work for you?

just enable HDMI UHD Deep Color of your PS4 Pro's HDMI input in the setting.

Nope, by default its on automatic already and didnt work. Flicker non stop until i close the application running on HDR or disable UHDDC on the tv

Any other solution or is my tv faulty?

try change the hdmi input first and enable the UHD Deep Color. It's not on by default.

Thanks for the input, i tried that but didn’t work anyway. But i found the solution as recommended in a european ps forum. Simple actually, just use the HDMI cable supplied by the PS4 Pro! Haha, i was using the previously attached hdmi cable which probably couldn’t support hdr. Sorry to waste your time. Carry on 😬. And zero dawn horizon in hdr is glorious!

I'm not sure if that's accurate. The soundbar needs to be redeemed from LG, meaning you have to send in your proof of purchase to LG and then wait for them to send the soundbar to you (takes about 2 weeks). So I'm not sure if LG still has this programme going on or not, AFAIK I was told it ends Sept 1st 2017.

I bought my C7 with SJ8 soundbar bundled at rm8.7k at ESH PJ. Felt cheated as there was better deal on lazada with same combo. Went to the shop to buy samsung Q7 but left with LG C7. Salesgirl pandai ayat and the black on OLED is amazing. I may have low standard but i think Dolby Atmos on the TV is great enough for non enthusiast even without the soundbar which i plan to use elsewhere.
Seller said it will take max 1mth for the SJ8 to arrive after voucher is mailed by them regardless of passing the sept promo date as special request was made by them for extension, allegedly.

Here's a tip, ONLY buy premium certified HDMI cables from now on. They are scientifically tested to operate at 18gbps bandwidth - which is mandatory for 4k60 4:2:0 with HDR.

Remember, there is no such thing as a HDMI 2.0 cable. It's either certified to run at a high enough bandwidth or it doesn't.

Duly noted bro, thanks. I’m a selective cheapskate but will make more exceptions then.

That monoprice cable is USD4.99, with shipping rm158. Lazada selling slightly cheaper. Will consider it.

compare SJ8 vs SK8 which is better? hmm

SJ8 has very narrow sweet spot dead center for best audio profile in cinema mode. Otherwise just average in my opinion on the sound quality. No experience on SK8

I bought good wall mount on lazada for a bargain. So far so good. Make sure tilt and swivel option available to access ports easily.
How about trying Bose soundbar, no experience but good reputation. U buy and review for us here
