HDMI issues on my LG 65e6v!

[Deleted member 2457]

Can you remember I said to couldn’t probably connect Apple 4K TV to my TV and blamed it on Apple compatibility? I now seem to have had a few problems connecting my Oppo to my LG TV. It took me about five attempts to get it working right with the HDMI cables, and it’s about 99 per cent working now, tried all four of the HDMI inputs though. Working fine with the Sony Oled though and the E7 when I tried connecting them. Not quite sure what’s going on. HDMI cables? HDMI socket inputs on the LG? Something to keep an eye on but working fine now, should I try again and go looking for problems, or best left well alone? Cheers.

Seems to be a HDMI cable issue which I have found out so far - you were right again BB.

Still checking the inputs though, I will probably buy the Apple 4K TV again perhaps and buy new HDMI cables that will be the litmus test.

It depends on why you want Apple TV. Is there anything the Apple TV can do which your existing system can't?

Well, I have about 8 films already on Apple 4K TV and I wanted to watch the 4k ones as they come out on rent or purchase, but I am wondering if I really need it. I got Amazon Video and I just discovered I could’ve watched Justice League on rent for £4.50 in HD through that. Could’ve saved myself £20.50 there!

What do you think BB? Cheers.

Films cost £5.49 to rent on Apple. They can shove that!

True, £1 more than Amazon Video. And you pay £180 for it, then I don’t even though will it work properly again!

I got Apple 4K TV again and new HDMI cables and on some HDMI inputs are still not working right. So definite problem with the TV.

If problem with the TV, how can others like 4K blu ray player etc. work fine? What exactly is the problem?

Gel are you hot plugging the cables into your TV I.e. plugging in whilst the devices are switched on?

 

[Deleted member 2457]

BB - two of my HDMI sockets are not working right.

Series - no.

Chebby - nothing to do with the manual.

The picture keeps breaking up.

If you connect your 4K blu ray player to the same HDMI ports on your TV, what happens?

Basically one HDMI didn’t work with the Oppo, and now looks similar with the Apple 4K TV. Switching HDMI cables has mixed results.

What do you mean by "mixed results"?

Well just tried them all again and the Oppo was working on all this time but the other day wasn’t working on HDMI 3. And the Apple 4K TV was working on HDMI 1 and 2 but not 3 and 4.

 

[bigboss]

That's weird. Check Apple TV again with the same cables which work fine with the Oppo. Check all HDMI ports.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

Yep, they all worked fine on the E7.

Yep, apologies to WHF guys, faulty TV the issue.

Is it possible to fix HDMI input sockets?

Your TV is still under guarantee.

 

[bigboss]

Get it repaired.
