Plex compresses the audio heavily for that, so it won't be same as the source file.

But better than not playing anything, right ? Unless somebody wants to manually re-encode the tracks one by one, and has the time to do it.

So from what I read:

1. Most streaming services use Dolby and not DTS
2. DTS is mainly found in Blu Ray formats, which I assume, one would route through a sound system

So, does not having DTS support affect us in any significant way?

Usually most remux plays well for me I use the tv built in media player though i have 2016 model. 

 

Also remux usually have 2-3 audio just select the one which plays on your device

Emby is trying to work around it. 

Emby is really a resource hog, uninstalled it in a day mostly use smb with tv player or plex

They removed the support on 2020 models only. Most do but many don't. It's a pain in the a*s to re encode. 

But in remux you will get secondary audio

I just checked a sample of my remuxes, and all of them have secondary audio - more often a Dolby track.

Some have only dts. For eg Dark Knight. Maybe it's an issue with the specific one I downloaded. 

 

It's an issue with your file. My DK remux has 11 audio streams, 8 of them Dolby Digital, 3 DTS-HD.

The 4k release only has 5 audio must have been someone manually added the audio also the remux only has 1 dts audio track

For LG CX DTS and other codec issues, can we connect the usb drive to the playstation or xbox and then play the movie with the console ? Will doing that make the LG CX normally output unsupported DTS audio or any other unsupported audio and video formats ?

Won't work because the audio will still be routed through the TV. You will need to connect the input device to the some audio solution and then connect the TV. Or use optical.

So let me get this straight, i will use the TV optical port to connect it to an audio player system with usb slot then connect the usb drive through it, so by doing that i will be able to hear the DTS audio ?

No, TV will not output DTS at all, be it HDMI or optical. I meant, you will have to connect your input device to your audio solution via optical and then HDMI from your input goes straight to the TV. This is if you don't want to route your input through your audio solution or if it doesn't have HDMI OUT.

Picked up CX yesterday for 1.28L after all discount and offers. Happy with the price given where I live. However, something I learned after purchase that LG don't offer TV stand for CX, they used to offer it on C9. So, you have to opt for either stand or wall mount during installation. Anyways, the LG Engineer calls me up for installation and I ask for TV stand. The guy tells me he has to place an order, and the stand would arrive in 3-4 days.

 

Not too fussed as the room is getting white-washed but OLED ka purchasing experience has been something. "Stand nahi hair Sir abhi", matlab

WTF is up with the CX line ? So many mistakes. Not giving a stand is

Cutting cost, as simple as.

Yup. Too much unnecessary cost cutting. HDMI bandwidth reduced to 40 gbps from 48 gbps, missing dts support, only get 1 mount.

All these things couldn't have resulted in savings of more than $50 for them. 

If C9 was available, it would be a better buy considering the minimal improvement. 

Mind you, none of these are deal breakers but annoying to see corners cut on a TV that costs as much as this does. 

 

My dealer had a new boxed C9, but the price difference between the two was less than 10k. I thought it made sense to go with the latest model. However, the C9/CX thread on Era is hilariously one sided in favor of C9.

 

To me those missing features don't matter but it's disappointing to see the latest rendition miss out on them.

Which TVs are recommended under 50k ? Really don't want to go to ifalccon and the types. 

4k needed. HDR preferred.
