PlayStation 5 - Now with FAQ in OP.

padair

For anyone with 2019 LG B9, there is a new firmware update just released that has fixed some issues with hdmi 2.1 and g sync

Mr Crispy

While we're waiting, here's the Washington Post's interview with Yujin Morisawa, the designer of the console's aesthetic. Apparently it started off even bigger!

GameStop have now sorted out two of my three PlayStation 5 games for home delivery which I preordered in-store so am a happy boy (assume game 3 will be sorted next week, hopefully!).

I know they rightfully got flack for their console orders but have to give them fair dues for sorting out the games which is a huge relief.

What games were these?

I preorded Spiderman MM Ultimate in store and I was told by GameStop that my only solution was to buy the game again, this time from their online store.

Then when my local shop reopens, they'll give me store credit on my previous order....

AC Valhalla and COD Black Ops.

I have a feeling or maybe just hoping they'll do the same for Spider Man as the ultimate edition is now only available behind a coupon on their site (much like AC Valhalla is for gold and ultimate editions).

Hey guys, not looking for a heavy expensive tv, just simply one with HDR, and 4K res, does anyone think this will be good for upgrade from a full HD tv?

LG 43UN70006LA 43 Inch UHD 4K HDR Smart LED TV with Freeview HD/Freesat HD - Black colour (2020 Model) [Energy Class A] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08CJ72Y17/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_vYDQFbFMNH1Y9

Quick question all, who has gotten an LG CX for their PS5? I’m strongly considering getting one, just worried about the potential for burn in during long gaming sessions. Was going to go with Samsung Q90T but it has only one hdmi 2.1 port and I worry the hdr might not be as good.
Anyone any experience with the LG CX sets?

Not a great review on RTINGs:
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/un7000

No VRR, no 120 Hz support at any resolution. The input lag however is excellent, so that is good for gaming at least.

Here is rtings recommended 4K gaming TVs:
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-usage/video-gaming

and here are budget models they recommend:
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/budget

Your mileage will vary for gaming on the budget sets.

Mr Crispy

As you might expect, there are a few godawful celeb interview/ads doing the rounds. They're pretty terrible, although Naomi Osaka gets to play a bit of Resi Village.

I have one great tv very happy with it so far anyway. I've looked into a good few things in relation to screen burn as I use my PC on it as well. The only gaming I have done with it would be the Switch atm so ill see when I get the PS5.

Once you're not viewing bright static images for any long periods should hopefully be okay.

on TVs do you think one set up and calibration will suit both series X and PS5?

I’ve the c8 which is the 2018 version of the CX. I’ve had it about 1.5 years and there’s been zero burn in. Just turn it off when pausing the game or you need to run somewhere and you’ll be fine. It boots up in like 5 seconds so it’s a good habit to get into. I had a plasma before this and it was the same deal risk of burn in. It took 10 years for some signs of burn in to happen on that tv and even then it was only visible from cold boot and it disappeared after 15-20 seconds.

Any decent OLED nowadays will a pixel-shifting feature that negates burn-in, it is obviously still possible but burn-in is nowhere near the issue some people seem to think it is. If burn-in ever did happen it won't be from a game, it will be from leaving the TV on all day that has one of them channel logos constantly displaying in the top corner of the screen.

I have a 2016 LG oled B series model, I got when the PS4 Pro came out. Still looks fantastic. Over the last year though, I have noticed burn in. Netflix logo in one corner, and youtube logo in the other. Can only really be seen when there is red on the screen, but still annoys me.

Avoid the built in tv apps, and you should be ok. The tv is too good even with that issue. I'll get that CX this year if I see they fixed the VRR.

I have a confirmed preorder of PS5 with Gamestop.

I preordered with my PayPal account which is tied to my credit card – which has a sizeable limit and no fees outstanding. I assume if my PayPal balance is low, the preorder will just come from my Credit Card and not effect the order?

Excellent TV. Have a C9 and haven't noticed any burn in issues at all.

Is it just me or does that celeb footage of Resi Village look pretty poor?!

The bitrate is really really low and it is capped at 30 fps, strange decision to show it like that.

Just got my Demon Souls delivery notification from Smyths..

Are digital games available for preorder? I cant see them on the app, but i have form for not seeing the obvious.

Thinking of getting this headset for PS5 - Anyone have one? Seems to be favoured over the official PS5 headset...

If you search for the game itself it should be there as PS5.

All_in_Flynn

Smyths charged me for my headset.

Also, got a tracking number from Smyth for UPS for a parcel with a 5.8kg weight?

Looks like they are creating the tickets for the consoles already.

Xenji

Smyths charged me for Demon Souls, Godfall and the Pulse headset overnight.

Demon Souls is coming by Fastway (sigh) and the others are still in progress.

Mr.Fantastic

Got my text for demon souls , its coming with UPS they are fairly good should be here tomorrow.

Happy out still trying to source the dualsense charger the official one

jones

Speaking of demon souls i still have not seen any reviews of it which seems odd

Supposedly it wasnt sent out for review by Sony

wes

Controller and headset both ready to dispatch from Smyths for me. So I guess the console will probably be in the same state this time next week .

I am somewhat in the same boat. Although all reviews say burn in is highly unlikely unless you sit watching Sky News for the whole day for days on end (might burn your soul though).

Was expecting to go for the CX in January sales but seeing people like Vincent Teoh from HDTVtest bring up that there’s an issue with VRR flickering when using the PS5 on The B and C LG OLED’s and that it won’t be able to be fixed as it’s a hardware issue.
It’s probably a small issue but when I’m thinking about forking over €1500 for a tv, I want it to be perfect...

Hopefully the D series will have it fixed.

From the reviews I've seen, if you can afford it get it. It's similar to the pulse 3D but quality is slightly better along with mic I think

Ultimately its down to money. If 100e is your budget then pulse 3d is perfect and is still quality but if you can spend more then go For the steel artics

C denotes the model doesn’t change. Next year’s line up will be B11, C11, G11, W11 most likely.
