This video is over 1 year old yet still applicable . Thank you Tech Guy Charlie for your time and very clear instructions for tweaking a 4K TV for the best image quality.
This video is gold for me, new tv yesterday and couldn't figure out the blurry picture quality. The signal plus did it for me. Besides that, you are very good at explaining things. Overall top-notch video Sir, thank you very much.👌
This has made such a difference to my Samsung AU9000 43" connected to my office PC with a Geforce GT1030. Before I could see dots on the screen, now it looks spot on, thanks for sharing 👍
This has been so informative and useful. I was able to make most of the changes and use the TV as a good monitor for the computer by following these instructions. Thanks again.
Great video! This has helped me a ton. Just learning about the input tag for the TV helped a lot. I had just kept it on the default this entire time. Nice setup by the way :)
Thank you so much, the HDMI PC input tag might seem irrelevant, but it disables artificial picture enhancement which reduces the input lag and gives you the best 'PC monitor like' experience.
@@TechGuyCharlie Hey Charlie, I have applied the same settings that you did on the video, and the signal is flickering. How do I remove that? Is some expensive HDMI cable needed for 4k?
So I want to THANK YOU! In 2022 this video was of help. I just got my first gaming laptop and the screen was to small for me. So I got an LG 43in 1080p TV for my needs. However after months of noticing it wasn't crisp I found this and the input tag saved the day. As soon as it was changed to PC BAM! LOOKS BEAUITFUL. Thank you friend!
This video was so helpful!! Thank you! I am using a 65 inch 4k UHD Samsung and was having trouble with terrible pixelization in game. Your information has changed the entire thing!! 4k @ 60Hz is Awesome! My little RTX 3050 is running the tv like a champion! Thank you for taking the time for this great informative video!
Thank you so much, this is the most comprehensive TV-to-PC monitor guide I have ever seen on the whole internet. I always feel some kind of eye strain after staring at the TV after a while, the screen is too bright, the color is off, the input lag, weird motion blur, etc. Although I have a different TV, this helps me a lot, thanks again! PS: except you, every other tech TH-camr always feels like they trying to sell me the "coolest, hippest, expensive" hardware.
One tip here that improved my life was that my TV was set at 30Hz. I changed my television to to 60Hz and now many of my game play at 60FPS like they should. Thank you so much.
Thank you Tech guy Charlie!!! A very well done video sir. You are very well spoken and and all points you made were very clear. I just purchased my first 4k tv and was questioning my decision as the image quality has been hard to get dialed in. thanks once again for the fantastic info!
Hey Barry, I so glad that the video was helpful, I hope the image quality is much better after changing and tweaking the settings. If you have any questions, feels free to ask me here. 😊
Thanks for the very informative video. I have one question though. I have 10th gen i5 laptop with integrated UHD graphics. but like u said in the video, HDMI port is 1.4. will I be able to get clear text with the hardware i have with 43 inches 4k TV? I understand that refresh rate will be restricted to 30 Hzs but that is fine with me as long as the text quality is not compromised. I dont play games and watch very little movies. office work and reading text is my first priority. thank you. eagerly waiting for an answer.
Have another video idea for you. With all the people working remote you should consider doing a video on how to connect smart TV to wireless desktop or laptop for home office users as second (dual) monitor option For example 50-in Samsung QN90A 4k. Just set one of these up great screen for bright offices but needed a little tweaking to get just right.
I struggled to get my laptop connected to my 4k Samsung TV. It would keep blacking out. I found i had to change the frame rate to Interlaced to get it working and this only at 1080p 60fps Interlaced. Didn't realise the benefits of the other enhancements you mentioned.Thanks for this.
Just got a 43" 4K TV and been using it as my main display (dual monitor setup), and I have been liking it quite a bit so far. Though I do think, in my case, I may need to upgrade my hardware. For whatever reason (most likely something to do with Linux being my preferred OS), I have some issues with refresh rate and intermittent issues with 4K 60fps playback. Or those just may be my excuses to update my system:P I think my CPU is probably fine (Intel 5820k), but I feel it's past time to move on from the GTX 970. I've got a new build all planned out, so hopefully in a few months I'll have all that worked out. Good idea for a video, dude. Thanks!
Thank you 😊 and a lot of 'experts' recommended against using a 'TV' as a computer monitor, people come up with silly excuses like input lag and blurry text but I haven't experienced any of those issues and this has by far been the best addition to my setup, nothing beats the experience of big screen, plus since its a smart TV, you can watch Netflix and TH-cam without turning on the PC. GTX 970 should be able to decode 4K 60 fps videos, I am wondering if its the Nvidia driver issue on Linux.
@@TechGuyCharlie Yeah, I would think that the 970 would be able to handle 4K/60, but it definitely struggles with TH-cam content that uses VP9 codec, and other 4K media that pushes beyond 100Mbs. It's not a problem that _always_ occurs, but it occurs enough for me to get slightly annoyed, lol. I am running current drivers, and I don't think that would be it. But, I mean...maybe?? Lol. I love Linux, but it doesn't come without it's quirks. It's all good, all things considered. I also have been super happy with the TV and agree with you 100%. I'm not a gamer, so I honestly can't speak for things like not having
I remember plugging PC to my only screen (TV) for the first time, then I noticed the ultra high delay when using mouse cursor I was like "oooh nononono please tell me this is a joke" until I realized I just had to put the screen to "Game mode", phew, the delay was gone
Thank you so much for the detailed information. It really helped me in optimizing the image quality of my Samsung 5 Series TV connected to laptop with Linux based OS.
nice info! I came here cause I just hooked up my desktop to my 65" Sony oled. The picture looks awesome and the computer set everything correctly on its own, no tweaking needed. I did of course still have to change settings just to see what happens, every little change I made just made things look bad lol. I changed the display text from 300% to 150% and the tiny text was unreadable from my couch 8' away. I slightly increased the mouse pointer and it turned out to be over 3" long. I guess maybe it depends on the size of your tv how close you are to the TV and maybe even the graphics card in the computer IDK but the windows 10 300% recommended setting was dead on for my TV.
Dude thanks so much for your help! I actually couldn't get my laptop to run 4k 60hz but you explained why ( 04:00 ). Bummer but at least I know why now.
Subscribed. Cool video bro 😎💯. I have an old HP Z 440 workstation doing nothing so I decided to hook it up to a tv I was given last week. I don't watch tv, but I just wanted an easy project to entertain myself. I had to buy an HDMI to display adaptor as my PC only has 2 display ports. I got it up and running and it looks good 👍.
My dell desktop automatically sets itself to the 4k resolution and the RGB color but it won't do 6o hz. it does 30hz and it won't allow you to change it unless you set the resolution low. Also the computer won't go through the reciever input, you have to hook it up direclty to TV. Nonetheless the quality is not even close to the streaming shows from TV, neither the video, nor the audio.
I am considering Samsung M7 4k 32Inch/Samsung Crystal 4K 43 Inch as my primary display for casual gaming and basics entertainment needs. Please suggest Which one to go for?
Wow, that a tutorial... You convinved me of moving from my 34inches monitor to a 50inches TV... Thanks for very complete video, and I'll be back to watch it as soon as I receive my TV...
Thank you Alain, moving from a monitor to a TV was the best thing I did, there is a lot more flexibility with a TV! By the way, the size of the TV depends on your viewing distance, make sure you have enough distance between the TV monitor and yourself, I maintain about 125-130cms between myself and the TV, which is very comfortable.
Wait, is that a coffee mug in your PC case? Awesome tutorial. A few weeks ago I replaced my 34" monitor with a $169 TCL 43" 4k TV, since it's like the cheapest well reviewed TV that can do Chroma 4.4.4 subsampling. It's pretty awesome have such a big cheap screen. I did get really nauseous playing a CODMW level where you had to pan around a lot. I love VR and flying FPV drones, so I didn't think that would happen to me LOL!
That is indeed a coffee mug 😁 it was a gift from someone special, so I kept it inside the case, anyway 169$ for a 43" 4K TV is an epic STEAL!! you know, I just love the immersive view of a big screen while playing games, it feels as if you are actually in the game! A lot of people recommended against a TV as a PC monitor, saying the size would be too but, but a big screen is by far the best upgrade I've done to my setup, once you actually use it, there is no going back. 😊
Very nice explanation and your video will be my guide. Can you please suggest affordable 40inch 4k tv options in which this works in the range of 25 to 40k?
my dear what is the best set up to see a movie on my 85 inch tv by my pc ... your video is the ONLY one that helped me to improve everything form me dramatically
Tech guy Charlie, awesome video. No one does videos like this, or at least I searched for months. Thank you so so much. This was a great video! I have Samsung Q70R 55", and set it like your video, and it looks awesome 4k 60hz; my only question is I have ps5 on another HDMI port on the same TV and noticed the tv has a gaming option which is disabled. Can I set this on for only the ps5 hdmi and not the pc HDMI settings? Cause it looks bad on the pc if I turn on game mode? Thank you again.
Hi Charlie. Awesome video!! I am not sure if I should buy a 1080p tv or a 4k tv. Would the text and sharpness of a 1080 tv be the same as a 4k tv if using as a computer monitor? I am not getting 4k signal and will use tv for browsing internet and computer work. Thank you very much!!
Thank you and let me try and answer, 1. 4K TV will be much sharper than any 1080p TV, if you are comparing the similar size TVs then the pixels are packed much more densely on a 4K display, giving greater sharpness, which is very noticeable while looking at text. 2. A computer will ALWAYS put out 4K signal no matter what you do, web browsing, word processing and gaming, provided you have a graphics card released in the last 4-5 years, or a new laptop. And not to mention a 4K TV will be more future proof, 1080p TVs are on their way out and for anyone buying a new TV above 32inches, I recommend going with a 4K TV.
Great video and so helpful. Many thanks. Do you find a problem in switching back to a monitor from a 4K TV? Is there a way around having to change the PC settings back to the original ones?
I have looked everywhere for this answer! Q. Would the colors and quality look better on a nice 4k hdr tv using the Tv's rendering, OR is it better quality to watch a movie through hdmi 2.0 from my pc using Nvidia settings and my rtx2070 to render the picture quality? Either the tv will be better at rendering the image or my pc graphics will, watching 4k movies? Any clever souls know this?
@@TechGuyCharlie My sony x80h will lose the hdmi setting from my pc if I do nothing for about 15 minutes. I have to unplug the hdmi and then plug it in again and it works fine. It also stays strong if i am using the desktop. I have tried using a screensaver and it still does it. thoughts?
Very nicely explained. What is the distance between your face(eyes) and this 50" display? I mean don't you have to move your head a lot to peek at anything but the center of the display when sitting at regular pc usage distance (which is usually 1 - 1.5 feet)
Thank you Ratul, the distance between the TV and my eyes is about 3 - 3.5 feet depending on the position of the chair and keyboard, I've upgraded to a 55' TV and it feels very comfortable, because of the distance, I don't have to move my head that much. Certainly less strain while working on documents and presentations compared to a 23' monitor.
Thanks, btw I always play games at 4K with the PC, although I have tried gaming with PS4 and the upscale quality is awesome, from a distance you cant even tell if its native 4K or upscaled 1080p.
Very good video. I have a question that I own a 1080p laptop which doesn't have graphics card. How would it reflect on to a 43inch 4k TV as. I want to use use TV as 4 split screens 21inch each. But I want the TV to have normal font and other elements size so that it doesn't occupy to much space and be comfortable. Please reply soon as I want to buy that in big billion sale
Hey man, its very difficult to say without actually trying and testing, every laptop is different, some laptops can output proper 4k 60hz some cant. The size of elements can be easily adjusted from the display settings on Windows 11. 😊
oled55cx5lb thats my 55" tv, and it won't connect to my RX 6700 gpu (no signal on the tv) and I am getting one long beep, followed by three short beeps from my computer upon powering it on) I have the hdmi cables connected, yet can't get it working...
For 3 years now I have struggled to get 4k 60Hz running on my 4k Samsung TV and I had to try 4 different cables until I found one HDMI 2.1 cable that actually worked at more then 30hz without compressing the signal and going down to reduced dynamic rate... But after I upgraded to a RTX4090 gpu that cable stopped working and it was a very expensive thick 80$ cable only 1,5m long. Now I have to start the search for a working cable all over again. I HATE HDMI !!!
good evening everyone I connected a lg oled c1 2.1 hdmi pc i can't play hdr in 4k but i can't play hdr in 2k what should i do to play hdr in 4k it should be like the 3 pictures but it doesn't work so i can't turn on hdr in 4k please
hello , thank you for your video !!! chroma 4:4:4 is necessary for using a tv as monitor ... how to know whose tv buy ??? this chroma is not revelead by brands :/ maybe , a tv with hdmi 2.1 is a sign of large bandwith a true chroma 4:4:4 ??? thank you for your response :)
Pretty much every TV supports chroma 4:4:4 at 60Hz, even the cheap ones do nowadays. HDMI 2.1 doesn't matter unless you plan to drive the TV at 4K 120hz or 8K 60hz with 4:4:4, that too there are only handful of very expensive models that support the true HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.
My laptop has 1650 which is good enough to play low demanding games at 4K 60 but for high demanding games i have to change resolution to 1080p and playing games in 43 inch tv at that resolution really sucks and i have to play from a distance by extending cable of my keyboard and mouse and headset :( but anyways I'm now used to it
This is great but I’m left with one question still. What if you have a custom display profile for calibrating a 120hz monitor. Is there a way to disable the profile easily just while using the tv as a monitor? Or maybe the better question is does the ICC profile affect the hdmi output or does it use it’s own profile?
hi brother, im having the same issue with my tv Samsung The Frame 2021 (LS03A).. using rtx 3070, 2.1 HDMI cable and plugged in Port 4(gaming). how do i get vrr Freesync Premium/Pro.

if you read this i have a question, i have a 4k tv/50in, i set the resolution to 3200x1800, i want to render a game at a lower resolution, upscale the game to 4k, then post to my display at 3200x1800, is that possible?? when i set the resolution on my 4k 50 in monitor to 3200x1800 it actually shrank the image and now i have a three inch border all around my t.v. which i am fine with as i believe by it not expanding the 3200x1800 image to a full 50in would increase the blurriness, and it actually makes the image very sharp, i play games at 3200x1800 i just would like to know if i can play them, have them upscaled to 4k then brought back down to my 3k image (3200x188) when i use dsr it actually makes the computer run at 4k, essentially it would take the 4k image and render it higher than 4k and then downscale back down to 4k, but it uses the full 50 in of my tv and i wanted to shrink the image down to get a better ppi/pixel per sq in, i know its a lot but i am learning and curiousd this i have a question, i have a 4k tv/50in, i set the resolution to 3200x1800, i want to render a game at a lower resolution, upscale the game to 4k, then post to my display at 3200x1800, is that possible?? when i set the resolution on my 4k 50 in monitor to 3200x1800 it actually shrank the image and now i have a three inch border all around my t.v. which i am fine with as i believe by it not expanding the 3200x1800 image to a full 50in would increase the blurriness, and it actually makes the image very sharp, i play games at 3200x1800 i just would like to know if i can play them, have them upscaled to 4k then brought back down to my 3k image (3200x188) when i use dsr it actually makes the computer run at 4k, essentially it would take the 4k image and render it higher than 4k and then downscale back down to 4k, but it uses the full 50 in of my tv and i wanted to shrink the image down to get a better ppi/pixel per sq in, i know its a lot but i am learning and curious
Hello, I have been using Windows 11 and computer on Wifi. My Samsung TV capable of 4K is connected via Ethernet cable. Do you please know by any chance why the 4K resolution on the TV is not showing up? The max I can get is HD. Thanks Jerry
Can you try turning the resolution down to 1080p to see if you get more than 60 hz? I saw that some tvs include a hidden mode but also you can overclock the hz of the display but I think that the resolution should be 1080p, thank you for this video.
Yes 1080p is great for gaming, but I heard any graphics card in the 9 series can run 4k for movies and etc on the pc, but honestly you can that from the tvs as well.
This video was perfect in answering all my questions, thank you! I do have 1 other question though....do you have this exact type of information for Windows 7 instead of Windows 10?
what about using a 1080p Graphics Card on a 4k tv.I have a Gtx 960 2gb Graphics Card with 16gb Ram. Will Graphics Card tempertaure rise .. I want to buy a 4k hdr tv..may be with QLED..
i have a weird issue that well documented on the web but no solution.. . when you pluged a 4k tv in, it shows as a 1080 recomended, and if you force set a higher resolution it will show 4k but downscale its output to 1080 . . just doesnt make no sense???? i can plug many many different 4k devices and they all recognize it as a 4k tv but not the computer :(

Subscribed. Cool video bro 😎💯. I have an old HP Z 440 workstation doing nothing so I decided to hook it up to a tv I was given last week. I don't watch tv, but I just wanted an easy project to entertain myself. I had to buy an HDMI to display adaptor as my PC only has 2 display ports. I got it up and running and it looks good 👍.
Thanks for the sub and glad you were able to get it up and running! 😊
My dell desktop automatically sets itself to the 4k resolution and the RGB color but it won't do 6o hz. it does 30hz and it won't allow you to change it unless you set the resolution low.
Also the computer won't go through the reciever input, you have to hook it up direclty to TV.
Nonetheless the quality is not even close to the streaming shows from TV, neither the video, nor the audio.
Brilliant video - Thank you, very helpful . 'All the exact settings and explanations, without any woffling.
Thank you! Helped a lot!
You're welcome! 😊
Thank you!!! Picture looks great 😎
I am considering Samsung M7 4k 32Inch/Samsung Crystal 4K 43 Inch as my primary display for casual gaming and basics entertainment needs. Please suggest Which one to go for?
Wow, that a tutorial... You convinved me of moving from my 34inches monitor to a 50inches TV... Thanks for very complete video, and I'll be back to watch it as soon as I receive my TV...
Thank you Alain, moving from a monitor to a TV was the best thing I did, there is a lot more flexibility with a TV! By the way, the size of the TV depends on your viewing distance, make sure you have enough distance between the TV monitor and yourself, I maintain about 125-130cms between myself and the TV, which is very comfortable.
Thanks for fitting in that mouse sizing part. I would lose the reg sized curser all the time.
Happened to me couple of times 😁 Had to include this part.
Wait, is that a coffee mug in your PC case? Awesome tutorial. A few weeks ago I replaced my 34" monitor with a $169 TCL 43" 4k TV, since it's like the cheapest well reviewed TV that can do Chroma 4.4.4 subsampling. It's pretty awesome have such a big cheap screen. I did get really nauseous playing a CODMW level where you had to pan around a lot. I love VR and flying FPV drones, so I didn't think that would happen to me LOL!
That is indeed a coffee mug 😁 it was a gift from someone special, so I kept it inside the case, anyway 169$ for a 43" 4K TV is an epic STEAL!! you know, I just love the immersive view of a big screen while playing games, it feels as if you are actually in the game!
A lot of people recommended against a TV as a PC monitor, saying the size would be too but, but a big screen is by far the best upgrade I've done to my setup, once you actually use it, there is no going back. 😊
May i know the model of the tcl tv 😊

You are a life saver my friend. This was really really helpful. Thank you.
THANK YOU!!!!! So much good info in this video! So happy. I'm subbing, you deserve it. Great Vid!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! 😊
Dude! Thanks so much, made the change and WOW.
So much better!👏💯
Great to hear! 😊
Very nice explanation and your video will be my guide. Can you please suggest affordable 40inch 4k tv options in which this works in the range of 25 to 40k?
I want to do this so bad, but the auto on feature of a monitor is nice.
my dear what is the best set up to see a movie on my 85 inch tv by my pc ... your video is the ONLY one that helped me to improve everything form me dramatically
Tech guy Charlie, awesome video. No one does videos like this, or at least I searched for months. Thank you so so much. This was a great video! I have Samsung Q70R 55", and set it like your video, and it looks awesome 4k 60hz; my only question is I have ps5 on another HDMI port on the same TV and noticed the tv has a gaming option which is disabled. Can I set this on for only the ps5 hdmi and not the pc HDMI settings? Cause it looks bad on the pc if I turn on game mode? Thank you again.
Hi Charlie. Awesome video!! I am not sure if I should buy a 1080p tv or a 4k tv. Would the text and sharpness of a 1080 tv be the same as a 4k tv if using as a computer monitor? I am not getting 4k signal and will use tv for browsing internet and computer work. Thank you very much!!
Thank you and let me try and answer,
1. 4K TV will be much sharper than any 1080p TV, if you are comparing the similar size TVs then the pixels are packed much more densely on a 4K display, giving greater sharpness, which is very noticeable while looking at text.
2. A computer will ALWAYS put out 4K signal no matter what you do, web browsing, word processing and gaming, provided you have a graphics card released in the last 4-5 years, or a new laptop.
And not to mention a 4K TV will be more future proof, 1080p TVs are on their way out and for anyone buying a new TV above 32inches, I recommend going with a 4K TV.
Ho Bro.....
Thank you very much.... Very informative video and your way of explained is so good ... Pls make this on MI TV pls
Awesome video - thanks a lot.
You've earned yourself a new sub!
Thank you, Dominik, glad the video was helpful 😊
Thank you this helped me out A LOT 😁
Thanks, excellent content. Subscribed!
Thank you! and welcome to the channel! 😊
Very detailed and nothing is missing ☺️
Thank you! 😊
Great video and so helpful. Many thanks. Do you find a problem in switching back to a monitor from a 4K TV? Is there a way around having to change the PC settings back to the original ones?
Great job with this video! Really helped me out a lot installing my new LG43nano79 TV as a monitor! 🙌🙌👏
Hi! How is it? Is it comfortable to work with Word, PowerPoint and stuff like that parallel and reading everything fine?
Hey, glad to hear the video was helpful!
Hi everyone
Mi 55inch 4K tv and LG 55UM7600PTA use as monitor
Which one better
I have looked everywhere for this answer! Q. Would the colors and quality look better on a nice 4k hdr tv using the Tv's rendering, OR is it better quality to watch a movie through hdmi 2.0 from my pc using Nvidia settings and my rtx2070 to render the picture quality? Either the tv will be better at rendering the image or my pc graphics will, watching 4k movies? Any clever souls know this?
Very nice video and well explained. Helped me with my TV. Thanks !
Glad it helped 😊
Thanks a lot for all the tips ! Great video ! 6:05 was the most important thing for me !
Hey, no problem! 😊 Glad the video was helpful
Thanks man .love from sri lanka.
great video. lots of good information. subbed
That's very nice setup
This worked well for the bravia x80h. Thank you!
Oh, hey, great to hear that!
@@TechGuyCharlie My sony x80h will lose the hdmi setting from my pc if I do nothing for about 15 minutes. I have to unplug the hdmi and then plug it in again and it works fine. It also stays strong if i am using the desktop. I have tried using a screensaver and it still does it. thoughts?
Is it possible to get the maximum possible quality of 32" Samsung LED tv with a pc which have high-end cpu but dont have dedicated GPU
Very nicely explained.
What is the distance between your face(eyes) and this 50" display? I mean don't you have to move your head a lot to peek at anything but the center of the display when sitting at regular pc usage distance (which is usually 1 - 1.5 feet)
Thank you Ratul, the distance between the TV and my eyes is about 3 - 3.5 feet depending on the position of the chair and keyboard, I've upgraded to a 55' TV and it feels very comfortable, because of the distance, I don't have to move my head that much. Certainly less strain while working on documents and presentations compared to a 23' monitor.
I have a realy basic Telefunken TV connected to my PC via HDMI.
Dark pictures on my TV are almost not visible at all, does someone know what to do ?
Thank you so much video was really helpful ❤🙏🏽
Glad to hear 😊
Superb video. Is there any problem running your games in 1080p since it's scalable with 4k?
Thanks, btw I always play games at 4K with the PC, although I have tried gaming with PS4 and the upscale quality is awesome, from a distance you cant even tell if its native 4K or upscaled 1080p.
Thanks, I had no idea about changing hdmi settings to PC 👍. Hope this will work on my m1 Mac mini when it turns up.
Hey, thanks for watching 😊 it should work without any problems, M1 mini has an hdmi 2.0 port, should support 4k 60hz without any issues.
@@TechGuyCharlie cheers, happy new year!
Thank you Sr, very informative video
Hi techguru, at 4:30 . I have a question, my tv is Samsung 46” FHD 1080.Everything is huge, how do I reduce it further more. I don’t mind the pixel
Very good video. I have a question that I own a 1080p laptop which doesn't have graphics card. How would it reflect on to a 43inch 4k TV as. I want to use use TV as 4 split screens 21inch each. But I want the TV to have normal font and other elements size so that it doesn't occupy to much space and be comfortable. Please reply soon as I want to buy that in big billion sale
Hey man, its very difficult to say without actually trying and testing, every laptop is different, some laptops can output proper 4k 60hz some cant. The size of elements can be easily adjusted from the display settings on Windows 11. 😊
Thank you very much
You saved me time and money
Awesome! Glad I could help.
oled55cx5lb thats my 55" tv, and it won't connect to my RX 6700 gpu (no signal on the tv) and I am getting one long beep, followed by three short beeps from my computer upon powering it on) I have the hdmi cables connected, yet can't get it working...
For 3 years now I have struggled to get 4k 60Hz running on my 4k Samsung TV and I had to try 4 different cables until I found one HDMI 2.1 cable that actually worked at more then 30hz without compressing the signal and going down to reduced dynamic rate... But after I upgraded to a RTX4090 gpu that cable stopped working and it was a very expensive thick 80$ cable only 1,5m long. Now I have to start the search for a working cable all over again. I HATE HDMI !!!
What model is your Samsung TV? Also does it support chroma 4:4:4? Thanks again.
It is Samsung Frame 2020 and yes it supports chroma 4:4:4 .
thank you this really helped me great video!
Thank you!! 😊
This was a very useful video I learned a lot thank you very much!
You're very welcome! 😊
Thumbs up bro! :)
good evening everyone I connected a lg oled c1 2.1 hdmi pc i can't play hdr in 4k but i can't play hdr in 2k what should i do to play hdr in 4k it should be like the 3 pictures but it doesn't work so i can't turn on hdr in 4k please
is tv also function as monitor?
I can see only 3D settings in my NVIDIA control panel. No Display tab. What could be the reason?
This helped so much. Thank you TGC.
So glad the video was helpful 😊
hello , thank you for your video !!!
chroma 4:4:4 is necessary for using a tv as monitor ... how to know whose tv buy ??? this chroma is not revelead by brands :/
maybe , a tv with hdmi 2.1 is a sign of large bandwith a true chroma 4:4:4 ???
thank you for your response :)
Pretty much every TV supports chroma 4:4:4 at 60Hz, even the cheap ones do nowadays.
HDMI 2.1 doesn't matter unless you plan to drive the TV at 4K 120hz or 8K 60hz with 4:4:4, that too there are only handful of very expensive models that support the true HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.
My laptop has 1650 which is good enough to play low demanding games at 4K 60 but for high demanding games i have to change resolution to 1080p and playing games in 43 inch tv at that resolution really sucks and i have to play from a distance by extending cable of my keyboard and mouse and headset :( but anyways I'm now used to it
This is great but I’m left with one question still. What if you have a custom display profile for calibrating a 120hz monitor. Is there a way to disable the profile easily just while using the tv as a monitor? Or maybe the better question is does the ICC profile affect the hdmi output or does it use it’s own profile?
hi brother, im having the same issue with my tv Samsung The Frame 2021 (LS03A).. using rtx 3070, 2.1 HDMI cable and plugged in Port 4(gaming). how do i get vrr Freesync Premium/Pro.

I’m going to do this and switch to java even though I like bedrock Minecraft the only reason is because Java players have the day counter once I have that hardcore worlds will be easy knowing the amount of days I’ve spent on it
Thanks a lot 👌it was very informative video
Thanks for watching 😊
What's the cheapest graphics card to put on my computer to take advantage of my new LG c1 OLED TV that has HDMI 2.1 4K 120 FPS I heard I don't even need HDMI 2.1 to get 4k at 120 FPS
if you read this i have a question, i have a 4k tv/50in, i set the resolution to 3200x1800, i want to render a game at a lower resolution, upscale the game to 4k, then post to my display at 3200x1800, is that possible?? when i set the resolution on my 4k 50 in monitor to 3200x1800 it actually shrank the image and now i have a three inch border all around my t.v. which i am fine with as i believe by it not expanding the 3200x1800 image to a full 50in would increase the blurriness, and it actually makes the image very sharp, i play games at 3200x1800 i just would like to know if i can play them, have them upscaled to 4k then brought back down to my 3k image (3200x188) when i use dsr it actually makes the computer run at 4k, essentially it would take the 4k image and render it higher than 4k and then downscale back down to 4k, but it uses the full 50 in of my tv and i wanted to shrink the image down to get a better ppi/pixel per sq in, i know its a lot but i am learning and curiousd this i have a question, i have a 4k tv/50in, i set the resolution to 3200x1800, i want to render a game at a lower resolution, upscale the game to 4k, then post to my display at 3200x1800, is that possible?? when i set the resolution on my 4k 50 in monitor to 3200x1800 it actually shrank the image and now i have a three inch border all around my t.v. which i am fine with as i believe by it not expanding the 3200x1800 image to a full 50in would increase the blurriness, and it actually makes the image very sharp, i play games at 3200x1800 i just would like to know if i can play them, have them upscaled to 4k then brought back down to my 3k image (3200x188) when i use dsr it actually makes the computer run at 4k, essentially it would take the 4k image and render it higher than 4k and then downscale back down to 4k, but it uses the full 50 in of my tv and i wanted to shrink the image down to get a better ppi/pixel per sq in, i know its a lot but i am learning and curious
Hello, I have been using Windows 11 and computer on Wifi. My Samsung TV capable of 4K is connected via Ethernet cable. Do you please know by any chance why the 4K resolution on the TV is not showing up? The max I can get is HD. Thanks Jerry
Can you try turning the resolution down to 1080p to see if you get more than 60 hz? I saw that some tvs include a hidden mode but also you can overclock the hz of the display but I think that the resolution should be 1080p, thank you for this video.
Yes 1080p is great for gaming, but I heard any graphics card in the 9 series can run 4k for movies and etc on the pc, but honestly you can that from the tvs as well.
This video was perfect in answering all my questions, thank you!
I do have 1 other question though....do you have this exact type of information for Windows 7 instead of Windows 10?
what about using a 1080p Graphics Card on a 4k tv.I have a Gtx 960 2gb Graphics Card with 16gb Ram.
Will Graphics Card tempertaure rise ..
I want to buy a 4k hdr tv..may be with QLED..
i have a weird issue that well documented on the web but no solution.. . when you pluged a 4k tv in, it shows as a 1080 recomended, and if you force set a higher resolution it will show 4k but downscale its output to 1080 . . just doesnt make no sense???? i can plug many many different 4k devices and they all recognize it as a 4k tv but not the computer :(
Nice setup... Very cozy
Thank you 😊
I'm thinking about buying lgc2 tv for my rtx3060 card..(graphics editing work) ..is it ok to buy Oled tv .
And do i need to buy HDMI2.1 CABLES
