Disappointing support for UHD (and DTS) - 42ub820v

Asked by draki

Question

I've just bought a 42ub820v. Generally speaking I'm pretty happy with it so far

 

What REALLY disappoints me is the reality of UHD support

 

Is it true that it only supports UHD from USB?

 

Why is there no support for UHD over DLNA? 

  Does anyone know if there are any plans to support UHD over DLNA - seems a bit pointless otherwise

 

- and it appears to be the same for DTS? Does anyone have more information on DTS support?

 

I bought the TV because of UHD and DTS support so this is pretty disappointing 

 

any help or comments on this would be most welcome

 

thanks

After a few hours of investigation (and a lot of trial & error) I've managed to get 4k working using Plex Media Server on my PC and PLAYz plex client which is much better than LG's own offering. DTS also works with this combination

    • Question: DLNA file refresh with Synology Diskstation

      Our LG TV does not show files properly when a new file is added in a directory. We have a Synology diskstation ethernet drive with DLNA and if we download a new file (in the dedicated download folder) or we copy a file from a PC to a folder, the file is not seen in the LG TV. Sometimes it's there in few minutes, sometimes it's not visible for days! turn on&off is not working. If we want to watch a video we need to load it on a USB stick, which is definitely not nice in 2019.

    • PGS subtitles support and darker options for subtitles color

      Hello, It would be a great addition if OLED TVs had more options for subtitles color: like a dark gray, a very dark gray and maybe a transparency setting also. As it currently stands the subtitles ruin the watching experience a bit because they're too bright on HDR content :( The gray option nearly identical to white. Also support for more subtitle formats such as PGS would be great, it would remove the need to have an external device for video playback and improve the overall experien

      Hello, I have LG 43UJ620V and I've been trying to play video in mkv format streamed via DLNA, subtitle file is in .srt format in the same folder as the video and with same name. But the TV doesn't show subtitle. However, to play the same video from a USB, TV perfectly reproduces the video with subtitles. I'm running Rygel from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I wonder if there is still no support in WebOS for external subtitles via DLNA. Update: Nevermind. Got it. Support for exte
