You lose VRR, 1440p120/60, and anything "advanced" that the TV might do. I would personally not do this. Please keep in mind I have a PC with the latest version of Windows 10 and the Dolby Access app, not an Xbox. There are similarities, but up to a point.I'm getting into a settings/configuration wormhole and just don't know what the best way to set up is. Hopefully someone can help because this thread is a beast and difficult to follow.
I have the XSX, hw-q950t and lgcx.
Am I right in thinking XSX to bar= lossless atmos but I loose 120hz? Is there anything else I loose?
Why do you lose Atmos if your eARC is set to ON?XSX to TV=120hz but loose atmos. If I do loose atmos what do I get?
You shouldn't care about Freesync. It's a proprietary implementation of VRR. If your TV has VRR enabled when connected to the Xbox, you're fine.Also freesync on the lgcx I loose dolby vision. Freesync off I get vision and vrr but does it really matter as games don't support dolby vision at the min?
Bitstream.Hdmi input audio format=bitstream or PCM?
Passhtrough.Digital sound out= PCM, auto or pass though?
The only place I'm a bit opaque is the Xbox sound out settings. But as a general recommendation I would say the following:Basically I need someone to babysit me through every setting lol. I do apologise! Thanks to anyone who offers help
Xbox --> TV -->eARC --> HW-Q950T
You don't need Freesync with the Xbox, as long as VRR is on. They're overlapping standards and you gain... nothing but trouble
From the TV side, make sure eARC is ON, mode set to Passthrough and HDMI input format is set to Bitstreaming.
Also make sure that HDMI Deep Color is enabled, as well as Instant Game response.
From the Xbox side, just make sure the Xbox is sending a bitstreaming format that is NOT DTS (as your TV doesn't even support passing it through), and you should have zero lag.
