Oh....I thought you knew....well, the next question is "why" do you think it's the 9100 that is controlling your Receiver's hdmi inputs? These are Smart tv's, but the tv is not smart enough to change Receiver hdmi inputs. The tv can only change its own hdmi inputs, as far as I know.

Problem Use Case #1:

1) Watching something via the receiver using it's "CBL/SAT HDMI" input
2) Use the LG Smart TV to Watch Netflix
3) Exit LG Smart TV
4) LG TV Changes Reciever Input to "Media Player" (Expected would be to return to "CBL/SAT" Input)

Problem Use Case #2:

1) Turn off-tv / reciever when previous input was "CBL/SAT"
2) Turn on tv/ receiver, input is changed to "Media Player"

I don't really understand how to fix this.. there seems to be no option to correct. I know the other option is to not use CEC/ARC; but I like the ARC function for SMart TV and the fact I can control the receiver volume with my LG Remote. Is there any way to correct??

I have the same problem with my EF9500 and my Onkyo receiver. I ended up disabling CEC and ARC and just running an optical cable. CEC is really poorly designed and implemented across the board.

I've always found arc to be a little flakey thats why i don't use it . I would recommend running optical from the tv to your receiver and purchasing a good universal remote like the harmony . I have the harmony 650 and love it.

I've just set up my new 9100 and all I can say is..OMG! no problems with uniformity at all and right out the box the pic is outstanding. So glad with my decision, was going back and forth between the js8500 and the Sony 850c but went with the 9100 for pic quality and glad I did however......setting up with my harmony 700 I can't seem to get the inputs to switch as they should..stays on the last input. I have to go thru the help process to get the correct input. Have tv set to antenna, 2 Tivos, one component one hdmi 1. Dvd player on hdmi 2 and xbox on hdmi 3. When I turn on the system it goes to the correct input but if I switch devices it stays on the current input.

I don't have that issue with my 2 activities, how are you switching devices ? I have separate activity for tv viewing from my cable box and for watching movies from my Oppo.

Yes, each on different activities. When the function starts everything is fine and the inputs show but they don't change unless I hit the help button and even then it has to cycle thru by hitting no untiI It goes to the correct one, then hit yes. I will try re doing the setup later today. When I originally did it, it seemed to have a problem recognizing the power toggle and input function on the remote. I had to go thru it at least 3 times.

Hmmm havent had that issue but my setup is relatively simple, hope you get it figured out .

damnilocano · 02-14-2016, 02:13 PM

Has anyone programmed their DTv remote (RC72) to power on/off and volume up/down? I just picked up this TV (so stoked!) and I can't find the right code to input into the RC72.

thadoggfather · 02-14-2016, 03:36 PM

If LG made the new MSRP $1399 full time for 9100, it would help with OLED adoption real quick (imo)

Socketman · 02-14-2016, 04:25 PM

sale price for the 55eg9100 is 3g regular 3.5g. They wont be taking Canada by storm anytime soon. As nice as it was I could not live with 55in TV . I got a 70 for the same price and I watch in a dark room so I am content, not happy but content

thadoggfather · 02-14-2016, 07:44 PM

The OLED is my Valentine <3

Haha

Steff3 · 02-14-2016, 08:40 PM

I wss back and forth over 65" Sony 850c or Samsung js8500 or the LG 55" 9100. Went with LG for pic quality and am overjoyed I did...no regrets at ALL

Do you have the HDMI control or CEC setting on for any of your devices?

Yes, if it's on for any device it could be causing these issues

Evening guys, first sorry for my english, i am from Croatia.

I have been reading long time and now is the time to buy my first Oled.

I cant decide between EC930 and EG910. EC is for me more premium feel and has a nicer stand as i wont mount my tv so that is important also for me, but EG910 is 2015 model, has web os 2.0 (later upgradeble to 2.0+ when 3.0 is released) which is faster and new nicer remote. Picture wise they are pretty similar right? Also 930 back is more pleasing with "brain" box in the middle of the back of the tv, and 910 not so sleek.

Which one would you choose for you?

Thanx in advance

I would take the eg 9100 just because its the newer model and potential for new firmware upgrades. The 9300 is a discontinued model. The choice is up to you.

Lindseybp · 02-15-2016, 05:24 PM

I'm expecting my 9100 in the next week or so. What kind of home calibration media do people use these days? Haven't done a calibration in a long time. I don't need professional calibration, just something to dial it in a little.

I rather have a 55" Oled than a 80" lcd magnified with issues but that just me.

I finally caved after I saw the Adorama/eBay deal. I'm coming from a Panny ST50 I've been using as my movie TV, sparingly, and was not looking forward to going the LED route after looking at the latest offerings. My purchase path went from Samsung 9000 to x850c to 60" M series Vizio ($750 Wally World deal). Very glad this deal popped up - can't wait.

Can anyone recommend any 3D glasses? I notice the ones LG has advertised on their own site for this model are basically non-existent in North America. I've never had passive 3D before, not sure if all glasses are created equal or not performance wise.

What about some good Blu-rays that showcase the strengths of the technology? I want my wife to say wow and not give me her bs about not seeing the difference between my ST50 and her Hisense lol.

keithhr · 02-16-2016, 02:48 AM

I have been using the KURO Elite 151 for several years and beyond the blacks, my 4 day old LG 55EG1900 has been a shocking experience for me. I am seeing a lot of poor makeup applications, why that came to mind I have no idea. funny that beyond the absolutely gorgeous picture which I was expecting, I just didn't know how gorgeous it would be. There aren't words to describe it adequately.
The picture is breath taking and that doesn't exactly cover it.r how
I made a partial attempt with the disney WOW disc. But I will have Robert Bush home theater ISF calibrations do it correctly. I've already contacted him. I have my LG in my bedroom at present and I don't know for how long I can keep it in my bedroom, geesh, I wasn't expecting this at all.

The glasses that come with it are all you need. They give you the same ones at the theater.

thadoggfather · 02-16-2016, 09:11 AM

I posted this in the 9300 thread but same panel so I'm curious:

the owners manual says to prevent burn-in, don't keep an image up for an hour or more.

How has your screen been for people who have gamed multiple hours on end with the same heads up display?

Do you take hourly breaks or what?

Though they are all the same seemingly in regards to PQ and seeing 3D, I found the white border frames incredibly distracting on the glasses included with my 9300, and they will now serve their purpose as backups/ for other friends if I have a big party of people over to watch a 3D movie.

I can't remember what came with my 9100's it might have been black frame, but I didn't really care for the comfort considering I wear glasses most of the time, on top of the 3d glasses.

Sony TDG-500P Passive 3D Glasses are awesome! Got a pair of them in the mail from Amazon, and I'm liking them!

Maybe I just bought the Blu Ray because I saw a youtube review of 9100 with someone flipping through channels and found The Avengers on FX to show what cable looks like, but The Avengers on Blu Ray looks absolutely stunning! ANd I really like the movie, the 2nd one was kinda meh to me.

This television does have image retention and could lead to burning in just like a plasma. Although I think it's a bit more resistant than plasma. Gaming on the television in my opinion would be an absolute waste. This television is for movies and TV shows and that sorta stuff. If you're really worried about burn in on your panel due to gaming then get a good LCD.
