Gaming
My Xbox One wont do over 1080p so ordered a HDMI 2 18GBps cable from Amazon so maybe that will help? I know most games barely do 1080p but it saves the TV upscaling plus have another Netflix option too.
In Game mode the lag was ok. Needs more testing & tinkering with settings.
Apps
Netflix & Amazon Prime work well & in Dolby 5:1 using the TV optical output.
Kodi
My poor Pi2 cant do 4K, never mind play x265 but works ok & even from the TV remote.
Hopefully a Tizen version of Kodi will arrive.
TV
Hooked up a Sky dish & it picked up Astra 19.2 but had to add Astra 28.2 to get all the Freesat channels. Channel editing is easy so as to put BBC1 HD onto ch1 etc.
Still testing & trying figure out HDR.
All your posts have been comedy gold but the above sealed it for me.
You ordered a better HDMI cable to make your xb1 magically output more than it's highest res capable




You do know all you have to do these days to buy a tv is go straight on avforums look at reviews then go to hdtvtest and look at some more reviews then look at which one suits your needs.
the last 3 tv's i've bought i didn't see them in the flesh or even working. just read their reviews online from avforums and hdtvtest and then ordered.

there you go there is the review for your tv and basically anything which gets highly recommended from them is a decent tv.
there is no need for your dodgy delboy testing or antics
