[Personal Experiences] Hisense TV's

Interesting. Tried Plex as well. Plex and Kodi seem to have issues with mkv and HDR, mp4's are fine. And playing mkv's through a file manager is fine. Probably the android versions and Synology not properly transcoding or whatever .

Incredible has some insane deals on TV's currently. Not sure if they're demo models, if so then the oleds are a no go. 65x90j for R7300, 65 LG CX for R12k.

Yeah those will be maybe 1 somewhere 400km away from the nearest town.

At the risk of being completely wrong, give Emby a try. I've had success with Emby playing files that Plex struggled with when I decided to leave Kodi. This was a couple of years ago and your mileage may vary.

So it might have to do with my Android Box as Lupus suggested and/or the apps.

I used Plex on the TV Os and it worked, which is VIDAA OS, but it is a modified Plex and very limited and has issues. Kodi is not supported by VIDAA OS. VIDAA is also full of junk.

Anyways, I would prefer to keep on using Kodi though, but it seems to have issues with MKV files with HDR content, or maybe it is DV files and a combination of the Android Box Ematic 4K Ultra HD.

I am now going to try convert a DV MKV file to DV MP4 using ffmpeg / mp4muxer and see if that works. If not I guess I am stuck with using the VIDAA OS to play all the HDR content.

Are there any Android Boxes that support DV (licenses?)? I would think it is the TV that you rely on.

What Android boxes do you guys use for the DV or HDR10+ content etc.?

Cheers. Looks like I will just have to bite the bullet and get another one.... /sigh . Was hoping for something with an ethernet port as my wifi sucks.

Yeah that is the downside to them :(
 
Some sources are DV + HDR

Some are just DV

On the Ematic you’ll immediately know, because the colours will have this purple and yellow hue to them.

I find myself adjusting the colours for every movie. Some of them are very blue, others are very yellow and others very red. I wish there was a way to save more custom profiles as I have 3 or 4 setting I almost always adjust the same. Same for Contrast, adaptive contrast (use sparingly ) and gamma calibration.

Whith that shyte tv you bought your only option is getting an Apple tv box. Only thing that will make it half decent. Then you just need someone with an iPhone to come over so you could calibrate the colors.

Unlike other MBB fanboys I will say when something I bought is good or bad.
I think I have the same tv that you bought. Send the first one back the first week. Replacement was not much better.
Yes I had an Apple tv before I bought the Hisense, only reason I bought the tv cause I knew how bad that Vidaa is.
But the way you going on selling and buying new tv boxes, even interested in pc with air mouse. You could have just bought a better tv from the start.
OH and Hdr and all those thing will never work good on cheap tv's, so I don't know why bother. I set my Apple tv to 4k SDR so it plays everything pretty good.
