I'm lost.

Hi there,

I am looking for some support with this commercial TV. I got this years ago from my previous job as they were being used as always on Menu Boards for a McDonalds in Canada.

I used this for a couple years before the unit just stopped turning on. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with this model. From what I found searching the web, it may need a new power supply.

Thank you for anyone that is able to provide some insight!

Long before the nightmare teaming of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dennis Rodman for Double Team, director Tsui Hark was making beautiful-looking films in all sorts of genres, and I happened upon one of them just this week.

Shanghai Blues (1984) offers an Eastern spin on American screwball comedy, where grim reality keeps seeping in to douse the fires of fun. Set in 1937 Shanghai, a woman and a soldier have a rom-com meet-cute when they shelter during a bombing, but because it's so dark, they don't really see each other clearly. When the soldier comes back from fighting, he seeks out his mystery lady. She's actually living in the same building, but he doesn't have enough information to initially register this, and instead gets tangled in a love triangle with another woman staying in the building.

Life in Shanghai is grim and seedy, but the film depicts this rundown era as a surprisingly vibrant place despite the issues. The gloss of Hollywood romance is layered over a bleak and desperately horny post-war environment.

That this strange marriage works is pretty remarkable, and it's actually a quite refreshing approach to the screwball comedy.

Planning to buy a 65" LG C6 this Black Friday. My use is movies, PS5 and watching sports: 3–4 hour cricket matches with a static scoreboard.
The C6 only has a 1-year warranty in Australia, so burn-in is my main worry.
65" C6 owners: any image retention or burn-in so far? Would you buy it for this use, or go mini-LED for peace of mind?
Thanks!

Hey guys my name is Jagist and i have a youtube channel called jagistreviews i basically review and test bluetooth speakers, i did a basic review for the LG xboom Rock and thought I would do a quick follow up after having it for a few weeks

Battery Life: the xboom Rock’s battery life has been really great especially for a small speaker, ive got a few and it's one of the better for battery, last hours and hours and doesn't honestly take that long to charge when it gets low on battery, i am used to huge speakers that do im fact take lots of hours to charge ha ha

The strap: the adjustable cord is probably my most favorit part of the xboom speaker other than the beautiful red color which I absolutely love so freaking much!! The strap is awesome, i can use it as a handle or strap it to my bike, my backpack or even my pants belt loop so super convenient, then it just clicks back into the speaker, I prefer it a ton over the carabiner my jbl clip 5 uses, I honestly cant clip that around tree branches or hardly anything so LG definitely got that one correct

Portability: the xboom Rock is obviously super portable and light, rugged still but easy to take anywhere with you, can fit in your pocket if you have a bigger pocket on your pants or shorts

Final Thoughts: after having the Lg xboom Rock for a while now, I think its a awesome small speaker, has great battery and very portable plus a great app support, pretty much everything you need in a tiny speaker, i want to try out their other bigger speaker mostly the LG xboom Blast and LG xboom Stage 501, ill hopefully get them on the channel ASAP and get some testing done so definitely stay tuned

Can’t decide which one is the best for my gaming setup. Any suggestions?

Hello, I recently bought a LG B6 OLED about two months ago and I’ve been having issues with my PS5’s connection. As you can see at the top of the screen there’s a bar that goes all the way across the screen and it alters the text on the screen in some scenarios as well. This issue happened to me when I first got the TV but I swapped out the hdmi cable and it resolved the issue. But now the issue has reoccurred and I’ve swapped cables out again and the issue still persists. I’ve also changed the hdmi ports but still the same issue. Now my switch 2 doesn’t suffer from this problem at all, but I can’t place my finger on it if it’s because of the PlayStation or the TV because I know some people had connection issues as well with their PlayStations + LGs. So if anybody has any suggestions or tips please be as kind as to let me know. Thank you 🙏

Title says it all but I really fucking hate that I spent hundreds of dollars on this TV and it sucks ass

LG sent us the xboom Rock for free as part of a promotional event and asked us to share a review. All opinions here are our own. We’ve been using it by our pool and out on the golf course.

We picked up the LG xboom Rock for use by our pool and out on the golf course. I originally posted a review about the sound quality, but I’ve also been really impressed by the battery life. We’re able to use it for a full pool weekend or a couple golf rounds with no issue at all.

LG advertises up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge, which makes the xboom Rockperfect for our use. That is enough for a couple pool days or several hours of music throughout the day without constantly worrying about recharging. There are a lot of factors that play into this, so your mileage may vary.

For outdoor use, having a great battery makes a noticeable difference. Nobody wants to interrupt a relaxing afternoon or a backyard gathering because the speaker has run out of power. The xboom Rock offers the convenience of music or radio available without needing to constantly recharge.

Portability is another major advantage. The xboom Rock’s compact design makes it easy to carry from one location to another, and its adjustable tether allows it to be attached to items such as backpacks, bike handlebars, and tent poles.

Durability is equally important when using electronics outside. The LG xboom Rock features an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance and has passed durability tests covering conditions such as rain, heat, impact, and dust. These features make the xboom speaker well suited for outdoor adventures, including poolside relaxation, hiking, golf and camping. As with any electronic device, it is important to follow the care instructions, particularly before charging after exposure to water.

Although the advertised 10-hour battery life is respectable, it is worth remembering that this is a compact speaker rather than a large party speaker with an oversized battery. People who regularly listen at high volumes or want uninterrupted music for an entire weekend may prefer a model with longer advertised playback time. For everyday outdoor activities, however, the xboom Rock’s balance of portability, durability, and battery capacity is appealing.
Overall, the LG xboom Rock is a convenient choice for people who want music to accompany their outdoor activities without carrying a bulky speaker. Its battery life is suitable for many day-to-day adventures, while its rugged construction provides additional peace of mind. If portability and dependable performance matter more to you than having the longest possible battery life, the LG xboom Rock deserves serious consideration.

Hi friends: I’m considering buying the LG Smart Monitor Swing (32U889SA-W) to use as a wall-mounted touchscreen connected to a Windows 11 mini PC.
I’ve seen a few reviews mentioning unreliable touch functionality when connected to an external PC, particularly when using HDMI for video and USB-C for touch.

I’m wondering whether using a mini PC with USB4 or USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode, so both video and touch run through a single USB-C cable, would be a more reliable setup.

Has anyone tried this configuration? Does touch work consistently, including after the monitor goes to sleep or the PC restarts?

I really like the screen, especially for the price, but I’m hoping to avoid a setup that requires constant troubleshooting

Would love to hear from anyone who’s gotten this working reliably (or hasn’t!).

I’m trying to log into my new 77 inch OLED and it tells me my email is connected to Amazon. Amazon stopped supporting LG back in July of 26. I can’t login, I can’t reset the password, I can’t figure what to do. Any ideas for the crew here?

this is happens to me on my lg screen even with no hdmi connection screen is unresponsive i had this issue once rma it got a new screen same model now this is second screen after 7k hours of use i have smillar issue agine lg gave me a new screen last time but kept me with the old screen psu now idk if its the psu fault or this screen model is just straight junk

I bought this tv in December of 2024 and had been wall-mounted since. I have not had any issues with it, not physical damage on it but I woke up today and saw a white line, not a continuous one on the screen. I ran pixel cleaning on it and the line disappeared. It worked perfectly all day then it came back again this evening. When I tried to run pixel cleaning again, it turned off and it took forever to turn back on. When it did, it started turning off seconds after booting into the UI. I timed it a few times and realized it’s turning off 23 seconds from powering it on each time.

What could be the cause? It’s out of warranty but the panel still has the 2-5yr warranty.

Color in movies is extremely important. They evoke a feeling, offer insight into a character and their psyche, and help build a world. They prepare audiences for what they are about to experience. Think Dorothy entering Oz, Neo unlocking his true potential, and, in this case, the world of Arrakis in Denis Villeneuve's take on Dune.

In Dune and its sequel, Dune: Part 2, we see different aspects of Arrakis, the desert planet rich with gold-like yellow and orange hues that convey its dryness. Whereas in Part 1, we saw Paul Atreides' home planet, which is damp and gloomy, to coincide with the vast amount of oceans surrounding it and the inevitable downfall that will hit the House of Atreides. Then, in Part 2, we're introduced to the home world of the Harkonnens. Here, the entity is devoid of all colors. In its place is sharp Black & White, unlike anything I've ever seen put on screen. All of these examples could and would fall flat if not watched with proper equipment. Luckily for me, watching at home on an LG G6 television is the next best thing to watching at a theater.

With the new Godzilla Minus Zero now out, I figured I'd give its predecessor another watch. For preparation, but also to see how the home viewing experience stacked up against watching it in the theaters. I saw Godzilla Minus One multiple times when it was out. In different formats, from IMAX to Dolby. And I have to say, the viewing experience was just as I remembered it.

The visuals are just as sharp as they were years ago. The blacks retain the bleakness the film is going for during its night cinematography scenes, especially that opening scene. And even on a scaled-down screen size from a cinema screen, the film still feels larger than life when watching at home. Case in point, the scene where Godzilla attacks Ginza. The horrifying images of his destruction on full display are still captivating, as they were when first viewing it. Fun fact, it was this movie that when I got on 4K that I decided to upgrade my at-home television. Watching it again on my LG G6 television made me realize why I made that purchase in the first place. I wanted to recapture my theater-going experience, and I think this viewing is the closest I'll get to that at home.

Disclosure: I purchased a 77” LG G6 television and gradually upgraded my Sound Suite home theater system (H7 + W7 + 4 M7s) earlier this year. LG provided me with a second W7 subwoofer to review and share my feedback.

TL/DR: Two W7 subwoofers create deeper and richer bass, more distinct Dolby Atmos effects, and mids and highs that stay clear.

I have owned several home theater and audio systems over the years, ranging from Bose to Hisense to LG, and spanning everything from simple soundbars to multi-speaker setups. Earlier this year, after moving into a new home, I decided to upgrade from my LG 48” C3 OLED and S80QY 3.1.3 soundbar system. My new home has high ceilings and an open-concept living room and kitchen. I noticed that the television seemed small from my usual viewing position on the couch, and the sound became muddled as I moved around the space.

After looking at different options, I settled on the 77” LG G6 OLED for its accurate colors, inky blacks, and impressive brightness. At the same time, I wanted a home theater system that could match the television’s capabilities and bring the content to life. Having been pleased with pairing LG televisions and audio systems in the past, I decided to go with LG’s Sound Suite.

Initial Impressions

Adding a second W7 subwoofer has taken an already impressive system and elevated it into a genuinely immersive home theater experience. The additional bass brings content to life, adding depth, impact, and a greater sense of presence to everything from movies and games to nature documentaries and music.

The difference between one and two subwoofers was immediately noticeable. Suddenly, I could hear the throaty roar of a lion or feel the percussive impact of ice cracking and falling from glaciers in nature documentaries. When watching Dune, scenes featuring the Voice were practically audio jump scares, with the sound dramatically pounding through the room. When playing Cyberpunk 2077 on my PS5, Night City felt more alive, especially when driving through its streets with the radio blasting. Even casual Netflix streaming became more enjoyable. I found myself actively seeking out content optimized for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision to experience just how much the system could deliver.

Initially, I was concerned that adding a second subwoofer might overpower the rest of the system. I wondered whether the increased bass would come at the expense of the mids and highs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn’t the case at all. When streaming music, the full range of frequencies remained present, clear, and distinct, with each working together in harmony. Rather than overwhelming the soundstage, the additional subwoofer seemed to complement it.

In fact, I believe the second W7 substantially improves the overall Sound Suite experience. Comparing the system with a single subwoofer against the dual-subwoofer configuration while watching Top Gun: Maverick really demonstrated the difference. The added depth and dynamic range were dramatic. It felt as though the soundbar and front and rear speakers had more room to focus on their respective channels, contributing to a more balanced and immersive listening experience. The Dolby Atmos overhead effects also became much more apparent and distinct. Sound placement felt more deliberate, creating a greater sense of space and movement throughout the room. I became more drawn connected to the action.

Picture and Sound Settings Matter

The listening experience can change considerably depending on the sound settings, number of speakers, and speaker placement. I found that the AI Upmix and AI Sound Pro+ settings performed much better with a complete, balanced system, particularly with the addition of dual subwoofers. The Standard setting seemed to perform better with content that doesn’t take advantage of multiple audio channels. I noticed that I frequently change the settings on both my television and home theater system depending on the content I’m watching to get the best experience. Fortunately, the system remembers the previous settings for different content and picture modes. However, I haven’t found a universal setting that works equally well across all types of content.

Setup Can Be Challenging and Documentation Is Limited

Setup is generally straightforward, particularly if you have experience with the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect system and LG’s ThinQ app. As with any new device, firmware updates are required when initially setting up the system, but the app doesn’t provide an option to manually initiate or force an update. One of my subwoofers was stuck on an earlier firmware version and wouldn’t update while in standby, regardless of what I tried. It eventually corrected itself after several days. Unfortunately, I’ve experienced similar issues in the past, where one component of the Sound Suite system remained on an older firmware version while the others had already updated. It’s disappointing that there isn’t a separate firmware download and installation process.

There is also some room for improvement in the setup instructions and documentation. Connecting the subwoofer to the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect system isn’t particularly intuitive, as the process differs from connecting the soundbar or M7 speakers. While the information is documented online, I would have preferred clearer instructions included with the devices themselves.

Final Thoughts

All that said, the LG Sound Suite is an amazing technological achievement, and I’m extremely happy with it. Adding a second W7 has made an already capable home theater system noticeably more dynamic and immersive. Despite a few software and setup frustrations, the flexibility of the system and the quality of the listening experience have made it a worthwhile investment.

I have a C6 on the way and plan to connect it through a Fire TV stick. Can I change viewing modes (e.g. Filmmakers Mode) through the Fire Stick or only through the TV's software?
