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.
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
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.
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
