Can you provide an update on the one you got from Amazon as my Dad just got a C8K and was encountering some ethernet bottlenecking. His Shield is a 2015 so doesn't support Dolby Vision.
I bought 2. Apparently the cable matters 10/100/1000 is working when I searched. Also got ugreen 2.5gb one. They arrive Friday. I update here if any worked.
The 2.5gb I had worked BUT throughout was awful. 20mbit. Not sure why. My wifi get around 300 on TV but 600-700 on my phone.
"cable matters 10/100/1000"
This is what I recommended my dad get, will be able to confirm when he gets it.
@witheredcouch: Turns out it was the Ethernet and he is pulling through 500/50ish now, so sounds like it was working
@witheredcouch: Great, seems like cable matter will work then. Getting that and the ugreen tomorrow updating here.
@Mikael: Curious to see what speeds you get. Interesting that he is only getting 500ish as he is on a strong gigabit connection, but it's not going to bottleneck any playback, so it'll do the job.
EDIT: He just ran a speedtest on his pc and got 650/46, so maybe his Superloop Gigabit isn't as strong or consistent as it once was.
@witheredcouch: Still waiting for mine to arrive today. I got a pretty solid 900+ most time ABB. Also the link to" tv router " is 10gb SFP from main router with 2.5gb ethernet. Sometime when using fast.com i get gb on wifi. On Xbox connected to same router I get around 700-850 when downloading games.
I have the 85 inch version of this TV and can confirm the ethernet is capped at 100Mbps… I get around 450Mbps on the TV on Wifi
Got them and tested. Cable matters got 867Mbps and 52Mbps up. The ugreen 2.5gb got 300-500Mbit. So cable matters more compatible. Perhaps down the track if updates ugreen might get full speed.
Amazing TV for the money. I was always looking at C8k but after watching a bunch of comparison videos (Stop the FOMO on YT gets super detailed) I went with the C7k. It’s awesome for my light lounge, and coming from LG B8 OLED I’m surprised how good the backs are.
What's the energy usage like compared to the OLED when viewing Dolby Vision content?
The mini LED energy use appears a bit "spicy" (double a backlit equivalent.. on paper). No idea how it translates into real life?
Might go the 65.
I install commercial led screen displays in shops and I keep the led brightness to about 50% and Uses minimal juice. Those numbers are probably peak brightness power levels so ignore them. TV wouldn't last long if you ran it that high.
Ours are anywhere from 5-25% brightness. It is very bright.
@SetTheFaqUp: Sounds about right. I bought a cheaper Chinesium 4k TV in 2012 for $600 (cost a fortune for a 4k TV here back then).
Downside was it is rated at 160 watts. Triple the normal 1080 TV at the time..
I set the backlight (not the brightness) to approx 75/ 100. It works backwards. 75 is basically 25% brightness. Took the power from 160 watts to 41 watts. Brightness fully turned up. No idea what this does, but it didn't use anymore power. The backlogged adjustment made all the difference.
End product - Blacks looked WAY better..and it used 1/4 the rated power.
The Chinesium is still working perfectly today.. which I put down to reducing the strain on the backlight. Never had a TV die on me…. ever!
Basically, setting the brightness is crucial.
Since these are microled, I'd assume no backlight. So the adjustment would be simply brightness.
Cheers for this.
Would love some real world numbers. Any ideas of how many watts a 65 and a 75 would use at 50% brightness?
The Australian energy ratings page is near useless.
@tunzafun001: I bet someone has measured it with a power draw at the socket meter(what ever they're called) on YouTube. Do a YouTube search.
@mckayver: Cant find one!.. also asked if I can plug in an energy meter (basic powerpoint add on type) and use the remote to dim the TV at JB's…No can do apparently.
@tunzafun001: Our commercial screens are never turned off, at night they're programmed to zero brightness and draw pretty much zero current. So if you want to use less electricity just have the brightness turned down as much as possible to what you are satisfied with.
@tunzafun001: I did a quick unscientific test on my 75” and got:
Standby- 1.2w
SDR TV
50% - 160w
80% - 230w
100% - 310wHDR 100% - 300-400w
From memory my old 65” oled was drawing 500-600w.
@rabid_monkey: Cheers for this. I didn't think they would get anywhere near 400w. Same for the OLED. Good to get some numbers though. Super appreciate it.
@tunzafun001: For that HDR test it was mostly around 310w with a couple of jumps up to 340w. I couldn’t find anything that had mostly white image, so I only guessed it might hit 400w on a crazy bright image.
@rabid_monkey: Sounds logical to me.
Guess its a lot of surface area with a lot of nits..so 400w sounds about right.I guess a 'standard' backlit TV will be nowhere near this (maybe 200w max), but it also wont be as bright.
Great TV. Bought one couple of weeks ago. Can not fault. Super impressed with the QD-MiniLED screen.
Got one last week. Great tv. Only thing for me personally is only 100mbit ethernet and bottleneck PLEX videos and 4k says network too slow. My USB to Ethernet 2.5g didn't work. Ordered other from Amazon that I saw was working. Works good using with Nvidia Shield pro and hdmi
