By Lunatic Go To PostWe on to 11.2 already?I wonder if that can be reconfigured to 7.2.4 (or if that is maybe even the intended configuration when using the 3D sound stuff).
e: apparently the Dolby Atmos standard maxes out at 36 speakers. I can only imagine what a setup like that would look and sound like.
By Dipro Go To Postfender pictured belowCan confirm. Just missing the greasy Italian hair.
HBO Max so far: no 4K HDR, no [Dolby] Vision, no Atmos. Is that stuff coming? Was that on the roadmap and just too hard to do? Is that a remastering problem?Copout answer but what you gonna do
I’m not going to have a feature dialogue with you, but as somebody that likes to get close to the metal, I can tell you that there’s a lot of features and a lot of capabilities that we would have liked to launch with that we didn’t.
It just comes down to a matter of priority and getting a product to market. When you’re asking about 4K and HDR and Atmos — not unimportant and definitely something on the roadmap. It had to be a deliberate choice of what to launch with and when. And those trade-offs happen daily. It’ll come. It wasn’t forgotten. I think it was just a deliberate prioritization.
By Daz Go To Posthas 4K streaming cracked bit-rate drops yet?Nah, but Apple has it pretty close
Yea, I watched Fury Road on the C9 last night via AppleTV and the 4K DolbyVision combo is really good.
I never realized it but Netflix and YouTube are garbage on Apple TV. Netflix doesn't do HDR and YouTube doesn't play above 1080p. I thought maybe it was my settings but I looked it up and apparently it's an actual issue.
Netflix absolutely does HDR on Apple TV.
I just finished Ozark Season 3 and I got the DV pop up every time.
Youtube is trash though.
I actually took my UHD player out of my entertainment center a few weeks ago. I guess the time for me to fully embrace 4k movie streaming has arrived. As stated earlier, Apple at least does a really good job on the bitrate.

I get Netflix 4K using my TV but it doesn't work for my Apple TV. I get HDR on other content, just not through Netflix.

Do you have an Apple TV 4k, or an older model?
If it's older it doesn't support HDR afaik.
By reilo Go To PostYea, I watched Fury Road on the C9 last night via AppleTV and the 4K DolbyVision combo is really good.
Can confirm. Also if you’re going to watch a newer Star Wars, do it on Disney +. Everything I’d Dolby vision and atMOs
By Fenderputty Go To PostCan confirm. Also if you’re going to watch a newer Star Wars, do it on Disney +. Everything I’d Dolby vision and atMOsTFA looks incredible on the C9 with DV
The OT looks really good too (yes, it's got DNR which is a huge problem) but it's so much better than the overcooked Blu-ray releases from 2012 or so.

Agreed. The newest one is awesome too, visually at least. The quality of the content is another thing entirely, but the picture is amazing and Star Wars movies always sound impressive as fuck.
By syrenity now! Go To PostCan only imagine how good Blade Runner 2049 looks on a good set.
It looks really really good. Also sounds amazing.
My favorite films for visual and audio so far have been in no order:
- Blade runner 2049
- Solo
- Fury Road
- Netflix series “our planet” (visual fidelity here is insane cause no post processing movie filters)
- Dunkirk
- annihilation
- into the spider verse
By JesalR Go To PostJust to be sure, you have a 4K Apple TV right?
By Smokey Go To PostDo you have an Apple TV 4k, or an older model?Yes I have the Apple TV 4K. I get 4K HDR with everything else that supports it, just not my Netflix.
If it's older it doesn't support HDR afaik.
If you have the highest Netflix plan that allows for 4k , and its still not working, something isn't set right

So i'm looking for a UHD player and a way to play a Region B blu-ray. Anywhere I should start looking? I'm kind of thinking about waiting for next gen consoles since I'm sure one of those two will at least have a UHD player.

By aka Espi Go To PostI do. I ended up using my TV for Netflix since I get HDR that way.Do you have your AppleTV set to match content? Is the HDMI output on your TV set to support Ultra HD Deep Color?
By data Go To PostJust imported this:All UHD blu-rays are region free, you should be fine to play the 4K version on your player.

By Freewheelin Go To PostNah, but Apple has it pretty closelooks like I need o build my blu ray library in anticipation.
I've seen the opening scene from Bladerunner 2049 on a surround setup with Dali Epicon 6 and Center in the front and some Dynaudio bookshelves in the back. It was on a 65 inch C7 and there was a massive subwoofer as well (a Rell). Everything ran trough a Cambridge CXR200 surround receiver. That guy never has to visit a movie theater ever again, fucking hell. He bought most of that set-up from our store and the day I saw that movie there we only came to install a new HDMI cable, the crazy expensive kind. Audioquest Vodka, 3 meter in length. That was a 500 euros costing cable.
Also seen Dunkirk on movienight with the shop staff in our cinema room. At the time we had some B&W 703 towers and the HTM71 as a center. 707 bookshelves in the back and a DB3 as subwoofer. Powered by NAD T777. And I was already impressed by Dunkirk at the theater. But this set-up sounded even more crisp and punchier in the room we have at the shop. It's such an intense movie, the noises and music just never give you a break.
But both of these set-ups go well beyond 10K in total.

I personally don't really see the value. My standpoint is that you need a well made cable for proper isolation and durability. Besides that it should be technically capable of transferring the data you want to transport from device A to B. So for 4K content you can't use your HDMI cable you got with some random piece of junk 10 years ago.
I had a demo from the guys from the aformentioned brand on a work event. They used a cheap throw away cable and then from low to high a few different versions of their own cables. I definitely noted subtle differences between the cheap cable, and the first 3 cables they used from their own brand. But after that I wasn't really able to notice a difference. They did the demo on a cheap soundbar to basically demonstrate that a good cable can make a difference on any kind of set-up. And there's a truth to that, but the point of diminishing returns starts quickly for me personally.
So yeah, in my own set-up I have a bunch of their cables and I'm using the cinnamon line mostly.

If you are getting a 55" and 65" what kind of stand do you need - how high for a good viewing vantage?
Not sure if you are asking specifically but the LG C9 comes with its own stand that is VERY specific to the model. You can't just throw any other stand on it. In fact, the C9 stand probably weighs a good 80lbs on its own and is heavier than the panel itself.
By Daz Go To PostIf you are getting a 55" and 65" what kind of stand do you need - how high for a good viewing vantage?Like Reilo said, they usually come with stands. You generally want your eye level to be closer to the top than the middle of the screen, ergonomically speaking. Looking up is worse for your posture and introduces more strain than looking down.
Oh! Well, general rule of thumb, aesthetically speaking, your cabinet should be wider than your TV. You also have to account for weight ratings but modern TVs are mostly light enough.
As far as viewing angle, it would depend on your couch and where eye level is relative to your TV. I prefer my eyes to fall somewhere around the middle of the TV at all times.

By Daz Go To PostI meant like a cabinet
I find the most important cabinet dimensions to be the shelving and depth. Receivers can get large. I also would look for one with a cable management system out the back.
As reilo said width is important, especially for your bookshelf speakers
Thanks, Reilo, Fender and Kibner.
New flat -trying to think ahead. Shit is stressful.
No one tells you when you are buying property to consider furniture.

Oh yea, I never rent a place unless I can visualize how furniture would look in it. It's extremely important.

I’ve owned three houses and not one has been ideal for a home theater set up lol. I always intend to make
It more of a priority than it ends up being. You get locked in on a city and area and price and availability become limiting factors. Kitchens are a priority simply for resale purposes. One day I’ll own something over 2k square feet with a nice big square space for a good set up .... one day lol
Oh when I'm going house hunting I know I will check the livingroom for audio possibilities. If it's a really weird room not suitable for any kind of surround set-up the house will need to be very special to be considered. But with proper cable management you can do a lot in most houses really.
@Daz That piece of furniture seems about right. Think mine is about the same height. When sitting on the couch in a normal position my eyes are pointed at the halfway point of my screen (55 inch). I remember my parents used to have the TV on some incredibly high piece of furniture and I wouldn't even want that for my house. Despite how good looking the furniture was.
And what the other guys said yeah, always make sure to have enough width and depth. It would help if you'd know what kind of equipment you're going to put in there. Maybe browse for a possible audio set-up you can see yourself buy in the forseeable future and use those dimensions in your search for a piece of furniture. Would be a shame if you have to limit your choices later on because you bought a piece of furniture that can't really house much equipment. And I've had loads of these people in my store. In the world of audio limiting on size usually means cutting back on quality. The better the equipment the larger they are usually for traditional amps/surround receivers.
