Hey all, so my LG CX 55' arrived and I'm delighted with it. First time purchasing a TV over 400 euro let alone one worth 1399.
I just have a few (alot of) questions and make sure I'm getting the most out of it. So my viewing is mainly done through the Xbox (Sky Go, Netflix, Amazon Prime) all on the Xbox. I currently don't have an aerial in the house so no normal antenna type TV or Satellite Dish. Do any of the above apps provide 4k content without having to pay extra?
I've seen multiple places such as Vincent Teoh and Rtings do best settings etc but I'm a bit confused.
If I am on the Xbox, does it automatically switch into Game Mode, making the picture look worse when viewing normal TV? Or should it only go into Game Mode when I launch a game?
Also with these "best settings" they suggest doing X, Y, Z for different scenarios, is there a way of having these premade or is it a case of you'd have to manually do them every time? I assume you can save picture settings for each source, but not each type of content? eg Watching sport to putting on a film will keep the same setting?
I'm also wondering, with these best settings videos, do they factor in Screen Burn? Eg Oled light at 100, etc? Id rather dim the screen a little than go kill the TV!
Another question, LG CX doesn't seem to recognise the Xbox Series X and its just called HDMI2, when compared to my older Xbox in HDMI3 it comes up as "XboxOne" and my friends PS5 is recognised at "PS5" in HDMI1.
Lastly, and I suppose to cover some of the above too, is there any recommended videos, guides ,people to watch on getting the most out of the LG CX?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the number of questions, just excited to play around with the different features. The TV it replaced was a 42inch HD Ready Samsung I got 6.5 years ago so big upgrade.
