Hey, Gara! I am sorry that I missed this post. I am loving my C9. For a few months, the only gaming system that I have been using on it is on the Nintendo Switch. A big game for me is Smash Ultimate, so that's why I needed a set with low latency. (Incidentally, I don't seem to need to do the "PC icon trick" to get the best latency reduction - Gaming Mode seems to work just fine. But if anyone knows different, please let me know.)Gara wrote:How are you enjoying your c9, Windfish? I admire the go-getter attitude. You asked for a recommendation and you were rock n rolling. You were presented with high end expensive models and besides a little floundering on the lower b8/c8 you decided to go for it on the c9. A big decision at the drop of a hat. I dig it.
Mine finally arrived and I am having a ton of fun with it. I spent the last 2 days trying to get earc to work with my denon 3500h. Without proper support plex attempts to transcode dts-hd and it just keep giving a jumble of colors on the screen as I can only guess the transcoding is causing lag. I can't figure out why they don't pair.
I'm still playing with settings. Motion handling looks so much different than plasma. It's a hard adjustment coming off 10 years of experiencing motion on plasma. I'm not sure if it's just something I'll have to get used to. I've been trying the trumotion settings but anything above 0 looks like crap. Hoping I find a compromise.
I'm going to try out pc mode later on and see how that works. I have splitters setup already to feed my various video processors so I was thinking of giving pc mode it's own hdmi input if auto switching can't be done.
It's an amazing TV. I'll have to do some more gaming to give my thoughts on that but initial thoughts are that it's the best gaming experience I've ever had on a modern TV. 65" may be a bit big for these kinds of games. That might just be my perspective because I've been going strong on my 20" Pvm this last year.
Any other useful tips or tricks any of may you know for setting up the display?
Konsolkongen's settings are what I ran with, and they seem to be working great. Recently, however, I am connecting other systems to it, the OSSC, and so on. And these settings, not sure if they are the best for content with scanlines. Scanlines darken the screen, maybe too much darkness. So I am looking into tweaking these settings. I'll probably have more to say once I get more time this weekend.
