It was.

Apologies for the dumb question...

Just got a G3 and my config is Cable box to hdmi1, Sonos Arc to hdmi2 (eARC/ARC), PS5 to hdmi3.

I watched a few videos on settings and made some recommended changes. My question is, if watching Cable TV I know that is SDR content. If I choose to Stream from the LG home page, am I still using SDR settings since it is connected to hdmi1? I had to disable 4k for this HDMI port in order to get sound when watching Cable TV. Am I actually streaming in non HDR?

If so, would that mean I would have to stream off my PS5 to get HDR content and 4K?

Thank you!

If you are using the LG apps then it's not on an HDMI port. It's just on the OS. Stream something you know should be in HDR and the icon should flash in the top right. Open up the settings once the content is going.

Yes, that's what I am doing. Thank you for clarifying! I'll run that test...

Hey Scott, I hope all is well. Just a quick question. I was able to snag a C3 42" a few days ago, which I am going to use as my work monitor and for gaming. It's sealed in the box still. I waiting for my new desk to come tomorrow.

The main question I have is: the site I ordered my stuff from just got the C4 42" in stock. Is there really any major update between the C3 and C4 that should make me get the C4 instead, I mean, it's like $600 more. I think I'll be good with the C3.

Probably not worth the $600 price.

If the additional processing power and the switch to a native 144Hz refresh rate are high up on your list of must-haves, then the C4 OLED is worth saving up for.

Those two things are nice, but if that's really all, that's different. I'm sticking with the C3 then. It's probably not worth the $600 extra, as I'm sure I'll get a few years out of the C3.

Scott, What are your thoughts on the OLED monitors that have been pumping out.

As always, thanks Scott.

Well I have the Samsung G9 49" QD-OLED monitor and love it!
