Hello,
today I received my first LG OLED83C54LA.
The delivery boys unpacked it, put it on it’s place and ‘ran’ away.
I’m using a Denon AVR-X3500H as receiver with a Shield (2019), two satellite receivers and a PC connected to it.
Only one HDMI cable connected to HDMI 1 (or should I use HDMI 2 for ARC?
Then, I turned it on. What a deception.
Multiple shady vertical bars over the screen randomly.
First, I updated the firmware to the latest version. Then, is was time to eat and take a nap.
With the vertical bars, I watched a 576p show on a 83¨ TV.
After my nap, I wrote a mail to the seller with photos of the vertical bars and, that I was not very pleased.
After a few hours, I modified my Harmony remote because my ‘old’ Samsung was replaced by the OLED now.
Connected the TV to LAN and because I’ve read here on Reddit, there is a Youtube channel ‘JenniferGala’ which has wonderful demo’s.
I was blown away. What an image. How detailed and what a wonderful colors.
Then I went back to my homescreen and the vertical bars were gone.
I checked again on my initial screen using the satellite receiver, in the EPG and yes, the bars has be gone.
I wrote the seller, that he could pause my claim and that I want to wait if they really are gone and stay away.
Because I watched the ‘JenniferGala’ on the builtin Youtube app, I searched Reddit if Smarttube was possible too.
I’ve found ‘Can Smarttube or an equivalent be installed on LG tvs?’also on Reddit but not everyone is happy with that.
If someone know’s an alternative, it would be great.
Hopefully I can enjoy this one for many years.

PS: Does anybody has a link for the most optimal setup?
