Might interest the few OLED owners or those thinking of buying.

 

The E6 and C6 have had a HDR Game mode update in the US, UK getting it soon.

 

 

I can't detect any lag myself, but welcome it anyway.

 

Brings it up to acceptable levels for the vast majority of people now, close enough to the Wii U Gamepad lag level which generally doesn't get mentioned as being problematic, even at 60fps.

Update on lag results from the latest firmware update for E6 and C6. Bottom line, amazing job by LG to respond to our requests with a substantial improvement. They definitely now without a doubt sell the best TVs available!



We have tested our C6 and E6 and found fairly significant input lag improvements - for a 1080p @ 60Hz + HDR input the lag is now 36.6ms for both TVs, and for a 4k @ 60Hz + HDR input the lag is 36.8ms for both TVs. The reviews will be updated with this new information by the end of the day, and we will also test the other LG TVs the update applies to.

So if you want the best TV and aren't ultra-sensitive (and have the spare £1800), OLED FTW.

Any rumour of 4K Blu Ray on PS4 Pro version 2 ? Just asking if there is anything in pipeline. 

 

I'd be very surprised, however you can pick the Samsung UHD player up for less than £250 now with 3 movies included, i've got the Panasonic UB900 myself and can't notice a massive difference with the xbox one s and that when it comes to playing movies. 

 

You could always go Slim & Samsung UHD player.

Got the Samsung 4k player Thursday from John Lewis for a price matched £199 with the 3 movies.

RGB Direct was who the price match was with.

 

Only had The Martian in the box and a card with a number to ring for them to send the other two.

 

 

Got it as my One S whines a bit with uhd discs (nothing else) and got sick of waiting for Dolby Atmos.

The Martian's moderately interesting from a 4K perspective. I know a chap who worked on it. The effects shots, roughly half the film, were finished at 2K. For the UHD release the 2K was upscaled and shots that had no effects were left at 4K. In theory you should be able to see the resolution change from shot to shot. In practice you probably can't as the 4K is mostly from a RED camera which produces slightly soft results at 4K.

I just had to drop out of a game of titanfall because the screen kept going black and then coming back. Very odd. Anyone had similar issues? This is with a 1080p TV.

Sounds like a hdmi handshake issue.  Try putting your tv on first, then switch on the ps4

Uzi could you do me a favour and measure the gap from the bottom of the stand to the bottom of the TV, I need about 6 cm clearance for my sound base.

You should be OK but will check for you tonight for sure

You're going to need a 3rd drive, ideally, you could use the 1tb one from the pro for this.

  • go into settings, file management, and reduce your installs down to a level you have the capacity to backup (I used a spare 500gb drive, so I reduced mine to about 300gb)
  • deactivate the ps4 as your main one
  • take your 3rd drive, format it as exFAT (you might need to put it to fat32 first if it's NTFS, I had to on one of mine)
  • plug this drive into your ps4, go to settings, file management, backup, and run the backup to USB device
  • let it run for the few hours it will take, remembering this backs up ALL your settings, preferences, themes, saves, installs and share factory videos. It's excellent.
  • remove this drive and guard it with your life.

Now reverting your ps4 back to factory sellable conditions

  • put your blank 500gb hdd back in, switch on ps4 by holding power button til it beeps once
  • this is called money ba...sorry, safe mode, initialise your ps4 and install firmware
  • do this with an exFAT formatted USB thumb drive with this file on it, inside PS4\UPDATE
  • machine will install latest firmware, reboot, then be back to a blank tradable state, asking USER1 to sign in.

Now for your new machine

  • put your 2tb drive into it, formatting your previous stuff off it is irrelevant, ps4 will sort it - unscrew the hatch on the back and slot it in.
  • switch on, it should come up with a PRESS PS BUTTON TO START
  • use your thumb drive with the update on to install it on this machine too, and reach a state similar to the last steps, and sign in as USER1
  • plug your backed up drive into the Pro, go to settings - backup and restore and choose restore from backup
  • give your drive 30 seconds to spin up, mine quite scarily didnt recognise it at 1st.
  • Now this will restore your Pro to the same state as your old machine, settings and all, and will take the same time it took to back the old one up.
  • Activate as primary PS4

 

Done!

 

Okay PSPRo has turned up and I want to install my 2TB drive in it. If im not fussed about having to redownload/reinstall all games is it simply a matter of skipping the first two sections of the above and just doing the following:

  • put your 2tb drive into it, formatting your previous stuff off it is irrelevant, ps4 will sort it - unscrew the hatch on the back and slot it in.
  • switch on, it should come up with a PRESS PS BUTTON TO START
  • use your thumb drive with the update on to install it on this machine too, and reach a state similar to the last steps, and sign in as USER1

Do I need to deactivate my existing PS4 as a Primary device before I do any of this?
