Odd, because MKV is the one for at that my LGOLED55C9PLA has no problems with does t like MP4 at all…as MKV is a container and not a file format, maybe the audio or video is in a format it doesn't like, have a look a and see, AC3 audio I think is most comparable…..good luck

Just getting the runaround from LG, only want a baseline figure, they sent me this

, our technicians have explained that we cannot calculate the unit's actual power consumption when not in standby because there are too many factors that could affect this calculation. These factors include how many pixel refreshers are run, whether the unit is connected to the internet, external devices connected, speakers connected, sound systems connected, HDD connected and recording set ups. I am afraid that we consequently cannot answer your question.

we all know LG are not helpful to customers , but there’s no need to keep proving it.

this TV has a good energy rating so figures must be available, they either dont care or understand what I am asking

thanks

It’s a real pity, great picture, crap TV, had this just over a year and the writing is coming off the remote control, LG do t want to know, took out 6 year cover with richer sounds, but they only cover if it’s broken, class it as an accessory , ACCESSORY Not Amy more, you can’t operate the TV without one.....expensive mistake. None of the reviews mentioned the slow EPG....

Hey, I have a LG OLED65CX TV (latest WebOS) and  some photos from my Synology NAS are not loading, only in thumbnails like this:

 

Most photos work perfectly but some not. They are scans from a photobook and then individually cut in Zoner but that shouldn't matter right? Here are properties of one of the photos

I really don't know the reason my TV and it makes me really mad since it took a long time co scan these.

Weird thing is I also scanned other positive film photos and they work great on TV.

Do you know what might be the problem?

It’s an odd one, the LG doesn’t handle most things well, although in fairness it even played am MP4 video.....I tried viewing some JPGs saved with photoshop, PS has various save options one was progressive and another optimised, can’t remember exactly, but wanted to save with the best quality as had made some changes....Nb does t view Tiff files at all.....but these JPGs just would not view on my LGOLED55C9PLA .....had to re save as standard.....thought the LG should be more compatible.......but if I wanted a TV to do anything else than watch good quality TV / video I would have bought a Panasonic 🤯

My old Non Smart Panasonic had a brilliant TV guide, instant, seems technology has eve added LG in certain areas, thank God the picture is awesome.....wish it had an option to save the TV picture / Audio setting like it does with channel favourites , think there are 14 save slots for this....crazy or what

Think it was JC said sold his LG and bought one from its major competitor would be great to know what make that was.......I for one won’t buy an LG again........not that at £1700 I will be buying one again soon....

Looks rather good, thank you

My TV LGOLED55C9PLA says 5.0.10 and just been updated ???

Straight from the TV isn’t possible as if a headset is connected the TV speaker is disabled, another feature that should be added to disable this.....

Need go general & find updates, it must be there, maybe it’s already updated, it’s V 5.1 I believe.....

Far too expensive but thanks for the idea 😎

Got so fed up with the update pop ups , finally gave in and updated, seems ok so far 🙏

Having spent almost £2000 on my LGOLED55C9PLA  I had hoped for better sound.....it TV manufacturers can’t get good sound, because of the TV construction , they should offer a good soundbar at cost at the point of sale, the picture is important, but it’s so good to hear what’s being said. I certainly can’t justify £100s on a soundbar, I see them going for up to £3000 that’s crazy.......

just need a basic soundbar, so that dialogue can be heard clearly.....shouldn’t be too difficult, but reviews vary a lot...

thanks

There’s very little you can do with an LG TV except watch video.......terrible OS

An LGOLED55C9PLA 

but I assume you are correct 🤯

Read your post to my Wife, she (& myself )  do have extreme difficulty understanding some dialogue, have to sometimes turn on subtitles to see what was said 🤬 don’t need any fancy features, but a good soundbar would be a great idea, any recommendations ? And yes incidental music should be optional.....with all the tech available don’t see why 1, incidental music can’t be switched off 2. Lip sync doesn’t work so so many times 3- signing in programmes should also be optional, very distracting watching someone waving their arms everywhere, we are not all forced to ride around in wheelchairs, because some people, including my Wife need them.....not being harsh, it’s just that technology sometimes doesn’t help & isn’t always our friend 🤯.decided that at least 70% of what’s i

on the internet is false or out of date....and virtually none of it can be corrected. Maybe something like a Wiki editor should be allowed, so that ‘ qualified persons could correct errors......but leaves us open to political correctness manipulation.....there really is no solution......ok that’s MY rant over.....keep safe and well....🙏 we have been shielding since Jan 2020.....my Wife has hardly been out of the front door.....all shopping by home delivery and occasionally a relative.....absolutely manic about antibacing everything.....but so far so good 🙏🙏🙏

I think you are correct, silly me thinking that a TV for just under £2000 would be able to do anything more than just watch TV, 🤯 thank God it does that well ( wish I could save the TV settings to a usb pen though, as there are so so many )

maybe an Android based TV would be more flexible, but I went for picture quality over anything else, as that’s what I bought it for...( sound is so so from the internal speaker )

thought I heard that many devices would now integrate and be more flexible, maybe it was just wishful thinking 🤔

The WEB OS is sadly lacking and as restrictive as Apple IOS.....can’t do or install anything outside of the permitted range.....I want Firefox, chrome or edge browsers...NOT POSSIBLE.....I want to use Google meet in the built in browser NOT POSSIBLE I want to disable the pop up reminder for a TV software update , which I do t want, ?NOT POSSIBLE.....lots of other restrictive stuff with this TV.....just happy the picture is awesome......I think an Android TV is the way to go, much more open...

100% agree my LGOLED55C9PLA is only just over a year old.......🙏🙏🙏 it gets the new OS

I have an LGOLED55C9PLA  just over a year old.....hopefully will get the update, unfortunately LG is a little like Apple, so much locked down....the built in Browser won’t even let me do Google meet......frustrating......next TV will be android based I think....never realised how restrictive an LG TV is, thank god the picture is awesome...

1-Want to use Google meet, WebOS browser says not compatible, can’t install Firefox, chrome or edge browsers...is there a way to achieve this ?
2-can I use a webcam with a MIC with this TV ?
3- is there a way to disable the update popup reminder ? Don’t want to update as reports of big issues with the latest update thanks

1. Have an LGOLED55C9PLA .....not updated to this firmware yet too dam scared......but SICK AMD TIRED OF THE POP UP ASKIMG ME TO UPDATE....ONE DAY I CLICKED YES BY ACCIDENT, UNPOWERED THE PC AND IT DIDNT   UPDATE.....HOW DO I STOP THE REMINDER POPUP .????

also wish the WiFi remembered the password, have to enter it every dam time

Hi

 Y point was, quite often Canvel on a pop up simply means close this window, but this cancel has a deeper meaning.....it actually cancels the recording ( thanks for confirming that ) just think the pop up should say cancel scheduled recording , mind you there are more ‘odd’ things with the LG OS so maybe shouldn’t worry about this....thanks

Hi

If I have a recording programmed, I get a pop up message just before it’s about to record..” recording about to start.....Options CANCEL OR OK”

so if I click OK the recording continues, but what if I click CANCEL does this cancel the recording ? Or just cancel / close the pop up window ? If it cancels the recording, the pop up should say “ CANCEL THE RECORDING “

I am sure whoever programmed this message know what it meant and what the options do, but not obvious, to me anyway

thanks
