4k issues

OG Kandy Teeff · December 1, 2015

So I bought a 4k tv and wanted to try some gaming on it. When I set the resolution, the screen gets tinted green. If I launch a game, there's a decent amount of artifacting on the left half of the screen. I have a feeling that it might be the cable itself, but figured I'd get a couple other opinions first before buying a new one.

What TV are you using? I would agree that getting a new cable would probably be the best option, but if its not that its probably the GPU.

LG UF6400, bought it for cheap on black friday. I'm banking on the cable being the issue since I haven't bought a newer one since, like, 2010. How would the GPU have the issue? Just curious.

Usually if you are goning to play on 4K, you need to get an HDMI cable that can transport that signal faster. I know that when Jerry from Barnacules Nerdgasm upgraded his tv's to the 50 in tv's that he has, he wasn't getting a good signal due to the cable he had at the time he had gotten the original HDTVs he had before. I believe though the cables he got were able to transport an HDMI signal aropund 8 Gbps.
