I have an LG smart TV (UQ7570PUJ) running Web OS v7.4.0-1903. I decided to turn on the reduced blue light mode by going to settings>all settings>picture>advanced>reduced blue light. It worked, but now I cannot turn it off. Going to that same menu, the option is grayed out as shown in the attachment. Selecting it does nothing. I have tried resetting my picture settings in that same menu with no change. I tried switching picture modes and the reduced blue light mode stays on and I still cannot turn it off. Has anyone seen anything like this? I'm sure I can do a full reset to get it back to normal, but that's annoying and means I can't practically use the reduced blue light mode in the future. TIA

I am looking to replace a TV in my conference room at work due to poor response time and despite being 4 years old it does not like the PC connected to it. The PC used for 3d modeling showcasing, rendering showcasing and video conferencing for my engineering team. PC Specs i9 10900kf 64 gb ram 800 PSU RTX 4000 using HDMI to DP from the TV to the graphics card Looking for a good budget TV about 800 USD for a 65", an OLED would be ideal but not what my boss wants to spend. What are peoples thoughts for a fast response time for a TV? Right now we have to disconnect the TV for 5 mn, then plug back in for the HDMI to recognize what it is connected to, vendors spend 10 mn trying to connect with regular HDMI and its just been a nightmare so I thought what would Linus do and wound up here.

Long read so be ready: I use my TV as the display for my media PC and sometimes I laugh, caugh or sneeze or talk and I leave small drops of saliva in the screen. After cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth microfiber cloth (same used to clean eye glasses) and water, there was a stain in it that turned out to be either the Anti Reflective Coating of it or the Ultra Viewing Angle layer being removed. It was pretty visible when the TV was off or it was displaying fully black content with any other source of light in the room. I got this TV because of the great black levels it can produce and how bright it is for living rooms. I decided I would rather take consistency than keeping it the way it was and I tried different types of materials to rub the layer out, from softest to roughest. The one that gave me the best result was Paper Towels, the same you most likely use in the kitchen to clean stuff. It was taking way too much time and a lot of elbow grease so I actually used a polishing machine and put paper towels in the disc to complete the task. The result is a super glassy finish which I really like a lot. However, not everything is great because under some heavy heavy light you can see some micro scratches that look like smudge. It is not noticeable in a regular use but I can't take my mind off it and would like to finish the job with great success. I am thinking on either applying an oleophobic coating to the entire TV or buy another antireflective/protective film to get rid of the micro scratches. Similar to when the glue of the protective film of a phone fills the gaps created by a scratch with your nail due to a lot of use. I wanted to know if someone has applied an oleophobic coating in something big like an iPad or a table to know if it's feasible in a 50 inch TV and maintain a consistent application without more stains, smudges or something like that or if someone has any other recommendation. I will add pictures that show the 1.- Half way done process with napkins and hand work. 2.- Finished job while playing Warzone that show it's almost impossible to see 3.- Me polishing the actual screen in case you have any doubt. 4.- Picture with flash showing the "smudges" I hope someone from Linus Tech Tips team sees this and thinks of it as a great project for a video. Crazy ways or ways to remove a scratch from your screen and compare results.

Hello everyone! For some background context, I've been troubleshooting and trying to get HDR working for 2 months now... I had bought a new TV, two new PCs, new GPU, new cables. I'm slowly ready to rip my hair out by frustration.... ... Latest status: ordered brand new HDMI 2.1 cables to be 100% that the cables aren't at fault. After noticing nothing happened on ubuntu I switched back to windows for the third time but for the first time on this new TV. Windows 10 automatically installed GPU drivers and after a short screen refresh i automatically finally had HDR10! notif. From windows said it had automatically detected the display thus turned it on... radiating with happiness I went to get my HDD with HDR content to finally test it. As I came back 15 minutes later, HDR was off, and I could not toggle it on in the settings no more. It is supported but as soon as I toggle it the screen flashes dark and HDR turns itself off after less than a second. I had suspected the Windows updates had caused this, so I reinstalled win. Again, but this time the first thing I did was disable and block ALL Windows updates. HDR worked again... as I went into settings and changed the res. From FHD to 4k > HDR immediately turned itself off again. It couldn't be turned back on again, same as before. What is causing this!? Could someone please help find the source of this problem? I've been working on my home cinema project for over a year now, and I find it ridiculous i have to troubleshoot a base feature of a high-end TV for 2 months… I would really like to finally finish this project. TECHNICAL DETAILS /specifications: PC: current gpu: AMD RX6400 4GB HDMI 2.1 ITX (previous: gtx 1050TI ITX) cpu: Intel I5 6500 mobo: Asus B150I PRO gaming aura ram: 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz psu: bequiet! poer 9 500W SSD: 500GB crucial MX300 sata 2.5" HDD: WD mybook 8TB (WD RED) Windows 10 Pro AV/R: Onkyo TX-SR393 5.2 HDR / HDR10 / Dolby Vision / HLG ARC current TV: Hisense E7KQ 75" QLED 2023 HDMI eARC HDR / HDR10 / HDR10+ / Dolby Vision / HLG previous TV: Samsung UE58NU7179 LCD 2018 HDMI ARC HDR / HDR10 / HDR10+ / HLG in TV settings HDMI mode: "enhanced" firmware: up to date (otherwise apparently the TV cant achieve HDR) I heard HDR auto-detection could be causing this some more proprietary settings and formats from the TV manufacturer because "why not" :)... And maybe also some Windows drivers that are being installed automatically? All help appreciated and thank you in advance!

Now hear me out- We all know the utility of having a decent card that can drop into any machine, whether that's for troubleshooting, backup dGPU, or as a display adapter for a cheap machine or iGPU less system. Behold: MSI LP GeForce RTX 3050 Video Card RTX 3050 LP 6G OC - Newegg.com Considering $180 isn't inexpensive but isn't expensive, its an interesting option. -Low profile -No AUX power required, so can be dropped in almost any system -6GB of VRAM is sufficient for most games at 1080p low-medium -RTX features -NVENC encode/decode (GeForce RTX 3050 Graphics Cards | NVIDIA) -3 modern display outputs is usually plenty (4 for other models) Gaming performance isn't 'stellar' and falls behind the RX 6600 at the same price point, but that card doesn't have a dedicated encoder nor RTX features and doesn't have a low profile option with no AUX power. I might find myself buying one of these to replace the GT 1030 I brought into work, where this card might end up running my home theater R5 7600 machine. Thoughts?

So I picked up a TCL Q7 for my office. Wanted something budget friendly to get better motion clarity. It has 4k 120hz. Love it so far for stream and tv. I eventually will get a ps5 to hook up to it. For now I have a pc with a 3080 I figured I could hook up to play BG3. Here’s the problem. HDMI does not work at all. My pc recognizes the tv, it shows in display settings as 4k 60hz. Even lets me move my mouse over to it. The tv will show a pop up saying hdmi device detected but on the screen it just says no signal please check connections. Yes I’ve tried different cables already and a different pc. Any suggestions?

Hello I have a tv/monitor from Phillips and it has a big purple line down the middle. I was wondering if it will be able for me to fix it without taking it apart too much or even dealing with out of warranty experiences. model: 558m1ry

I purchased a new Samsung AU7100 65" LED TV just over 1 year ago, and within the recent weeks, it has started to develop some weird dark clouding/smudges (best I can describe) on the screen. They started off small in size, on the left-middle of the screen, but have since spread over the last few weeks, to cover about 1/4 of the left side, and now appear in small size at the top-middle, and bottom right (basically all over). These literally look like smears on the screen itself, which lead to me trying to wipe them off initially, as they do not appear smooth in their shape (like a bunch of dark/dead pixels might be), but rather random. There is no heat emitted by them, nor any flashing or odd acting pixels. They almost resemble LCD backlight bleeding, a bit instead of light bleeding in when viewing dark images, its like dark is bleeding in, with light images? They are visible when the background is light/white as shown in the images below. They are hardly visible in dark scenes which is at least a bonus. I contacted Samsung about this but as I am out of warranty, they did not care. Things I have done to try and resolve this: Turn the TV off and on again Power cycle, (unplug and leave off for an hour before turning on) Switch inputs from Apple TV, to Samsung OS, Xbox, AirPlay etc. Change all HDMI cables connected to new cables Remove all external connections Factory reset the software Play with the brightness, contrast, white balance etc. Hit with fist a few times Apply cold press to screen (saw this in a video) Apply pressure to bezels Play video that colour flashes for dead/stuck pixel's Cry Run hardware scan Turn all energy saving settings off/on All of the above did nothing, no issues reported by hardware, no changes to the clouding whatsoever. It's almost as if there are weird dark discolourations between the pixels and the laminated plastic on the surface, as brightness does nothing to them, contrast does not change them, so it cannot be the pixels themselves. The best way I can describe them is as if there are smudges on the surface of the panel that will simply not wipe off. Please do help Thank you

My dad and I detached the tv from the wall to move it close to my pc and use it as a main monitor(small tv, not like those box tvs but like something 10+ years ago). When I plug it into my pc though the screen is a little shaky like from left to right. The colors are mostly correct but some flickering in some small spots. Gpu: RTX 3050 Connection: Hdmi to Vga with a vga cable going to the tv TV: Old TLC 1080p tv UPDATE: Buying a regular hdmi cable fixed it. Moral of the story: Have cables

Hey! Im planning on buying a 40 to 43 inch 4k TV which Im gonna use with a PS5. But I can't decide which one to buy. So I am asking here. The TV should have a good image quality. Good enough for gaming at like 2m distance. Most important to me is a good pixel response time and as low flicker as possible (headache...). SmartTV and Sound is pretty unimportant since I have a external sound system and I will only use the screen for my PS5. So the quality and stuff of those two things don't really matter. Whats made it pretty hard for me to decide though is the price. I can't pay too much. since I live in switzerland it is a bit hard for me to give a certain number. So I guess just suggest some TVs meeting those requierements and that are not waaaay too expensive. Thank you very much!

The 115 inch TCL TV is coming to North America

Hey y'all, I'm looking at getting an old CRT to hook up a VCR and a couple old gaming consoles to. I've sorta narrowed myself down to three units, and I'm just wondering if anyone who knows a bit more about CRTs could advise me which of the units would be a better choice. Appreciate any help hahah!! Option One LG Flatron CT-15Q91KEX (15") - Has two 3RCA inputs, one coax antenna input, and one 3RCA output - 75W unit made in Indonesia - Photos here Option Two NEC N-3480 (13ish") - Has two 2RCA inputs, and one coax antenna input - 57W unit made in Korea - Photos here Option Three Sharp CX51G4 (20") - Has two 2RCA inputs, one coax antenna input, and one 2RCA output - 84W unit assembled in Australia - Photos here I'm leaning towards the LG, but I've heard mixed reviews about LG Flatron CRTs. Likewise, I have also heard mixed reviews about Korean-built units, but can't find much about NEC ones. The Sharp one seems okay I guess, except for the fact that it's a big unit, and also for my inability to find much information about that particular model online.

So the title pretty much says it all to be honest With this being the first time I can kinda splurge on a new tv, I'm wondering, Is it best to wait for CES announcements or get a new tv now while the "deals" are on? New / upgraded set for standard prices or grab a last gen tv at a slightly better price? Also can I get a 2023 set recommendation for a mid-end that has nice blacks but also vibrant colours? I'm stuck what to do but I'm 100% set on wanting an OLED some time soon. No idea if new OLED tech is coming out as this could completely change my decision (IE new tech = cheaper older sets)

Hello! (Hope this is the right subforum) I thought I'd ask for help here, as this just doesn't make sense to me, and it would be much easier if I could do this. I have an admittedly older PC (new one soon, but not yet) with a 1050 Ti and while it works perfectly fine with my two regular screens (a main 27" 240 Hz and a smaller 60 Hz side screen I use vertically), my TV refuses to work with it when I plug it in with a HDMI cable, and Windows just refuses to detect it. The same TV works perfectly fine when plugged into my laptop (HP EliteBook I think, it just has an Intel GPU). I specifically bought a *long* HDMI for this, which feels extra awkward now. Now, the things I know and why all of this makes no sense to me: - I was previously on Win8.1 but upgraded to 11 recently. I thought maybe 8.1 didn't handle 3+ screens well, but nope, nothing has changed. - It used to work okay-ish when I plugged the TV instead of the main monitor into the same HDMI port, but now that won't work either for some reason. - Newest NVIDIA drivers etc., I've tried messing with all sorts of settings in both Windows/NVIDIA settings and on the TV, nothing helps. - Random but feels related somehow, I also tried plugging either monitor with DisplayPort instead of HDMI once and it just wouldn't work either. Works fine via HDMI, Windows refuses to detect anything via DisplayPort. Would be grateful for any ideas as this just feels like some kind of weird mystery. I'm wondering if this simply isn't a case of an old/degraded graphics card (purchased in 2018), but I'd like to figure out if there are other options before I get a new PC and end up disappointed again... Thanks in advance for any help, and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! [and also attached HWinfo in case that helps]

I have a 2019 Samsung 4K "The Frame" TV that uses Samsung's own OS, and I can't say that the apps I use have been a great experience, but I'd like to know how common or uncommon such issues are? Are there comparable Samsung TVs that use Android or Chrome OS instead? Just curious in the unlikely event that the TV goes bad. I may consider other brands in the future like LG. Here are the Samsung apps I use the most with issues: Pandora (app or via Samsung web browser): Even with the paid pandora (premium?) it doesn't consistently start playing music when initially loading, and sometimes it stops altogether when switching songs. This was worse with the Pandora app, so I uninstalled it and use the TVs web browser instead. Paramount Plus: When resuming an existing episode/movie, even though it shows the correct time remaining, it restarts the entire episode. Fast forwarding controls, whether pre-paused or not, don't always work and sometimes will unpause itself. Sometimes it won't let me pause ads, but not because the app intentionally doesn't allow pausing ads. Hulu: For a time, sometimes an ad would stop & then resume every couple seconds even though shows (or other apps) didn't pause/buffer at all, and in spite of shows not taking a long time to buffer. Frndly (via Samsung browser): It starts some videos with the video viewer's audio control Muted. When a new recorded show starts, it exits full screen mode. Facebook Watch: It was terrible in terms of loading search results or video from pages I already was following. Apps used infrequently that I don't have complaints about: Tubi, Vudu. Troubleshooting: Reinstall apps Ensure quality wired connection to TV (until this year) or now a quality 5 GHz connection to wifi 6 AP within 15 feet and wired backhaul (I only need up to ~30mbps for streaming) Ensure no latency or connection issues: My edgerouter has QoS configured for 50mbps and it pings my ISP every 6 seconds then can failover to another one & log an error if there's an issue. -
Hi! I have a TV I can stream to using chromecast or VLC, but my issue is that the TV is in another room, and I can't control the media player from there. Other than using a laptop to remotely control the computer itself, does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that? Thanks

I have the following configuration: Graphics Card: RTX 4080 1. Dell 24" S2417DG (Horizontal, 1440p at 144hz via DisplayPort) 2. Dell 24" P2419H (Vertical, 1080p at 60hz via DisplayPort) I also have a TV plugged to the PC. 3. LG 55" C2 (Horizontal, 2160p at 120hz via HDMI 2.1) The problem is that if I want to watch TV or something via streaming, as soon as I turn on the TV, the Monitor #1 loses signal. It's looks like a loop of getting some signal and then loses it making like a flickering effect. This makes incompatible to use the TV and the PC at the same time without having to disconnect TV. I'm on Windows 11, and I have set the Monitor #1 and #2 to extend and TV #3 to disconnected. Maybe someone has encountered a problem similar to this and can give me a hint of what's going on.

Currently have a 75" Samsung TV model: un75au8000fxza. Currently when plugged in there is no standby light, and the tv is not getting any power to it. I replaced the power supply board, and it did not fix the issue, next step was going to be replacing the main board. Is it worth it or is the main board likely not the problem either? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I got a second hand TV (LG 49UH603V-ZE) and the guy swears it worked fine. After I plugged it in it seems to go blurry with lines (as seen in video) and back to normal again. Anyone know what causes this and If I can fix it? Even if it means opening it up and replacing something. PXL_20231127_101728592.TS.mp4

I have a 55 in TCL TV in my room. The sound is okay, but not super loud or clear, and definitely no bass. I had a $100 Sony Soundbar for my last TV and it was good. My computer is in the same room as my new TV and I would like to use this sound system for both, and I would like a Bluetooth connectivity for my phone. I know nothing about sound or amplifiers or DACs or anything, but I see a lot of people saying that bookshelf speakers are better than sound bars for the same price, and I saw some Sony ones for around $100. My price range would be around $100 to $200. I have plenty of room around my TV and fashion is definitely not a problem for me. I would love some help. Thank you!

Okay. So I currently have it set up as PC to Receiver with HDMi and PC to TV with HDMI. The default device can only be set up in stereo and able to get sound and through the receivers speakers. There is a another with the same name able to be set up as 5.1 surround sound but unable to get sound from it. I can't figure out why there is no sound for this option There is no lag with mouse or keyboard. I have connected from PC to receiver to TV and I am able to get the 5.1 surround sound. The default isn't separated in two options. I would use it this but there is lag with the mouse which can be infuriating and becomes worse if I'm trying to casual game on it. I do have the TV set up normally with it connect to the receiver via HDMI on ARC. Could this affect it? I have unplugged the TV completely front the receiver and put the PC in the number 1 slot. It comes up as the receiver and the TV for sound but only getting sound from the TV speakers and not from the receiver. I've also used an optical cable and I have the same issue. I've looked for updated drivers and everything is up to date from my understanding. It's still very baffling.

Aside from power usage, is there a difference between turning off the Tv completely instead of just the screen? Wondering if one is better than the other
