Hey, Lussy here.
This month, after a lot of hesitation, we upgraded our 8-year-old-ish 1080p TV to a shiny new enormous 4K OLED TV. It is ridiculously big. Seriously, it is dominating the entire living room.
With this upgrade, we had to mess with our cable management again, but thankfully since this TV has 4 HDMI inputs, as opposed to the previous one that only had two, we could give some devices their own dedicated slot in the TV. Currently, the OSSC and PS4 are plugged directly into the tv - the PS4 didn't like sending HDR data through our cheap HDMI switches, so when the content we watched was HDR, the image kept blinking.
It's crazy how many new problems come with this upgrade, next to fixing many pre existing ones. For example, one of the biggest advantages is that the TV now properly transmits 5.1 audio through its optical out, unlike the previous one, where we had to bypass the TV with our whole audio setup. So this is cool, BUT. It only supports Dolby, not DTS, and it has a pretty significant delay. It's not an issue for movies, but for rhythm games, we find ourselves bypassing the TV still.
We are learning so much about audio and video signals due to this. For example, this TV simply does not support the NES's video output anymore, and the OSSC doesn't support it either. We still have to find a proper solution for that (without using one of those nightmarish little signal converter boxes).
Other than that, there's not much going on. We're working a lot, but that's nothing new.
