LG OLED C9 Owners and Discussion Thread

Does anyone use bias lightening. Is it worth doing.

Yup defo get it I have four 24" strips and two 9" strips around the edge

A question about connections...

I’ve got a c9, and the following:

hdmi 1: sky
hdmi 2: sonos arc
hdmi 3: firestick hd
hdmi 4: cctv cameras

With hdmi 1 (sky), I can use the magic remote to control the sky box.

If I plug the firestick into hdmi 2, I can control the firestick with the magic remote. (Obviously then, the soundbar doesn’t work)

I can’t seem to get the magic remote to control hdmi 3 or 4.

HDMI CEC device control is ON.

Does this feature only work on hdmi 1/2?

also - is there anyway to “use” hdmi 2 when using eArc? Or does it just do sound and display patterns from the Sonos sound bar?

many thanks.

LG have confirmed it’s a fault with my TV - they had me run another 3 pixel shifts in a row, but no change.

Hope the next panel is as good as the one they’ll be replacing, had no bands or anything before this issue

I’d live to say nice spot - alas, I can’t. Was some preview on Netflix

I apologise for the levity but, it was the first thing that came to mind, ghost face from Scream, when I saw your image.

Fingers crossed you get a decent replacement panel.

Youtube App Help

Hey, Ive had my C9 for a year with no issues, I love it. I use it for watching YouTube a lot.

Over the last week or so, streaming of videos on YouTube has been really bad. Always buffering, can't really select anything over 480p without it being unwatchable.

What ive tried so far:

• Reset Wifi Router.
• Uninstalled the app, re-downloaded.
• Factory reset of the tv, reinstalled the app.

Still doing the same.

I know its not an issue with the wifi, or even generally with the TV as I can stream in dolby vision on Netflix no problem. Wifi on other devices in the house is fine. Im pulling 300mb download speeds.

Anyone got any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue with YouTube? Do we just have to wait for a YouTube app update?

Thanks

I had that last week, although it’s since sorted itself out. No idea on the cause I’m afraid - but hope you get it sorted

Thanks mate, possibly an app specific thing then and nothing related to the TV. Did it just work itself out?

Yep, only thing I’ve done is a pixel refresh because of the other issue I’m having from a page or so back (which has been acknowledged as a fault and my panel is being replaced)

Can anyone help with a Plex server and C9 issue

I had it all working for over a year and then had to rebuild my Synology NAS 920+ and re-install Plex container [ server ]

Since then the LG C9 TV doesn't connect to the Plex server. Now I know the server is just fine as my laptop connects and also iPad/iphones

Its all the same network and nothing different or special about the TV. I've been reading loads of problems on the internet with LG TVs not working and having the same problem

I just can find anyone who had or has the problem and resolved it...all sounds like people gave up

Thanks

Maybe try reinstalling the Plex app on the tv and signing in again? Sometimes if you reinstall your Plex server the app might still look for the old one if it has the same name.

Hi
Does anyone use an external device to upscale when watching sd , sky q etc ? Would running something like an Nvidea Shield, Hd Fury look better than the built in upscaller or does it not work like that ? Thanks for any input.

Hi all.

After the latest update to the TV im having some bad issues with my Series X,things like HDR not being on when in Game even when a HDR logo appears as game is booting in.Colours look terribly washed and ive tried every config available with the tv and the console but it looks incredibly washed making bright colorful games like Fenyx Rising horrible to look at and play.

Tried switching from PC mode back to Game Console mode ,different color bits and from PC range to standard in Xbox settings ,Hdmi black level from low to high and all HDMI ultra deep color and instant response is turned on too, and i have tried all Hdmi ports too,but no matter what its lost that wow picture quality factor and im snookered why this is.

Try a factory reset

Hi
Just wondering if you can replace the Oled C9 remote with a new one with the live zoom feature on, will this work, I know the remote that came with the C9 originally had no live zoom feature, appreciate the response before I buy one.

Some features might work on the remote but live zoom will be software based that your tv won't have so I imagine it won't work

wonder if LG will download a soft wear upgrade then some time in the future, as my old C8 had this feature on, but obviously not on the C9 for some reason.

Probably not a feature used that much I should imagine, the tv has been out for nearly 2 years now, I can't imagine they will release an update to add this feature now

 

[Joe C]

Really jumping through hoops to get this TV fixed. Went through everything with LG, photos, videos, app on my phone so they could see what was going on etc.

Eventually they ring on Saturday to say the repair has been approved.

Today the repair company call and ask for photos, videos etc of the issue! Surely they would have this if LG authorised the repair?

10 days in and still no clue when it’ll be done - all the repair company have said is they’ll get back to me when they know what parts to order and when they’ll be in

Evening all,

I recently asked for some advice here with regards to a faulty panel, Thank you. I have since been in contact with John Lewis who then swiftly passed the Buck on to LG, and for me to deal direct. I have now been backwards and forwards with LG trying to get things sorted, they seem to find it hard to see a fault.

I would just like to know from other owners experience of having to go down the warranty route if this is the norm.
I will attach the pics I've sent over to them, admittedly it is hard to see the fault in most of the content but anything coming from black to grey its obviously there. I have been asked to take pictures of it in a well lit room, which doesn't really show the fault.

Thanks

 

[Joe C]

Tbf, I’m not sure what I’m looking at for a fault there

That's interesting, I am getting a line on the right hand side of the screen, about a third of the way in, anything on the right of the line is darker. I don't think my camera does it justice, its a lot more visible with the naked eye.

It was great timing with your post, seems like the answer I wasn't wanting with regards to LG dragging things out.

I’ve got a line on the right too -couple of inches in, and everything to the right of it is a flickering mess

I can definitely see a fault there with that panel. frustratingly my fault its pretty hard to see with my camera, anything past the red arrows is a different shade in dark scenes. LG will probably have to send someone out to see it on mine.
