You mean Anynet by auto features? That can be turned off.

I thought Anynet just controlled what devices the remote can connect to?
This is the TV trying to identify "new" devices being connected to HDMI ports. It also renames the input on my PS4 Pro randomly.
Receiver used here.
I used to not like CEC, but I'll try to get used to it for a while again. Sometimes the consistency of when it does/doesn't turn something on/off is annoying from what I remember.

I'm going to try this tonight
This seems crazy to me.
This is witch craft! Can't wait to try this out when I get home today.

This is my issue with it right now. I don't know If I'm missing a setting, but turning on the tv will turn on my ps4 and Xbox one with this enabled. Holding down the back button to close apps would also turn on consoles or prompt the shut down of a console. I only like having my receiver power on with the tv.

Sorry , I'm trying to catch up,
but where or who said anything about HDR fix ?
And man, when is this TV getting an update?
I thought "Game Mode" was useless?
Didn't we all agree that movie mode was the only setup necessary for everything?
As far as I am aware game mode improves input lag.
Game mode has 21ms of input delay. WHatever it is in movie mode, it's worse. The low input delay was one of the primary reasons I bought this TV. I moved from a 13ms Sony Bravia - the best available in a TV at the time - and I've not really noticed the difference.
Picture Mode set to Movie but Special Viewing Mode set to Gaming. If I understand what you are questioning.
I actually had no idea long pressing the back button did anything. I tried it on Xbox, and it does indeed bring up home. No more grabbing the controller when I want to change apps or close something! You can do pretty much everything from the guide, so the remote can be used for just about everything but playing a game. Thanks for the tip.
Nice. Yeah, I'm not sure how I figured that one out but I'm glad I did.

I've tried it in the past with the thinking that if it closes TV apps, then it could also do something on the Xbox. It didn't work when I tried it myself, so I assume I just didn't hold it long enough.
Yes, this is a huge problem on PC since it auto-switches to PC mode whenever you restart your computer. So I have to switch it manually to Game Mode every day.
The fact that you can't turn off auto input switching is the biggest problem with this TV by far, so annoying.

So to get out of PC mode, I rename the source?
And rebooting resets that?
I find it weird you can void a feature by merely renaming, but I'll give it a go tonight!

Steam app?
There's a steam link app. You connect a controller to the TV via bluetooth or USB and it streams steam games from a networked PC. Mine is in another room, but this lets me play Steam games in the living room.
That is pretty cool. Don't think it's out in the UK yet. I also lack a PC. But it costs £40 for the Steam link box usually, so to just be able to do it through the app is brilliant.

Have you tried the actual Steam Link hardware? How's the performance in comparison?
I have an actual Steamlink upstairs and it performs similarly, though upstairs it's on a tiny TV and the living room is massive by comparison so quality of detail may well be different. In terms of playability they are the same though. I've played Mad Max, Arkham Asylum, some Need for Speed and Assassin's Creed Rogue just fine. I have no tried a FPS like Doom or Wolfenstein but I should.

Yeah you're right. My Switch input is renamed to HDMI 3. Weird thing is WiiU is still HDMI 4.
Got a question for everyone.
I followed this video here for my settings, Digital Foundry KS8000 settings for a ps4, and the tv looks bland while playing games with HDR. I noticed that if I turn off game mode, HDR looks amazing. Is the new FW that is coming out, fix this issue or is there any advice you can give to make this PS4 games look better with game mode on? Thanks for your help!

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
A little bit off-topic, in that this isn't related to gaming, but has anybody found an app for this TV that will allow streaming of your UV movies, like Flixster or CinemaNow?
I can get them on my Xbox, but I'd rather the TV pulled them straight through if possible.
I'm in the UK, if that makes a difference.

Ill have to test this weekend with gears 4 but I dont think game mode HDR looks different from others.
My game mode picture looks same as my standard settings.
Also the HDR fix was posted by Rudy1on AVS
Make sure backlight is way up during HDR games. I would enter settings while the HDR game is playing honestly. Exactly the way they show it. Either pause the game or let it run so you can see differences instantly.
steam link app is out in the UK.

Ok.
So If I run games in game mode I benefit from better input lag resistance ,
than what would be the sacrifice as opposed to choosing game mode instead of movie mode?

VUDU is where I watch all my UV stuff, though I don't know if it's available in the UK.

No image processing. So the image May noy look as good buy Ive switchee back n forth and cant tell a difference.
I turn most things off anyways.
Game mode doesnt turn backlight to 20 , contrast yo 100 and smart LED to high automatically when HDR is being used. Which is why your picture wony look as good as movie mode.
Novembet 27th theyll havr an update where it does it auypmatically
Yep, if you rename the source (I usually just change it to blu-ray since that's closest on the list) you get out of PC mode and once again get access to all the picture settings. But yeah restarting resets it again
it's obviously a "feature" that you can't turn off.What is the fix? Sorry just wanted some clarification.
Its not over here (UK) but I found a way to access American apps such as HBO, Hulu, and VUDU.

Mine randomly stays in game mode or pc mode and I don't really know what causes the TV to do that. I know that I used to be able to force my TV to see my laptop as a PC or not by fiddling with some color setting on my laptop, but I haven't had much luck with my desktop. I wish I could have it stay in PC mode though, only to take advantage of separate SDR/HDR profiles until game mode is fixed.
