Literally every episode of “you asked” has answered questions I’ve wondered for Years. God bless you ❤

LPCM support is very important for Apple TVs and modern Xboxes, as they decode their audio into LPCM before outputting it. Including their Dolby Atmos audio, which is LPCM + Dolby MAT metadata. So if the Q600B doesn’t support it, I would definitely say go with the Q600C.

Can confirm, I had the q990b (2022 Samsung soundbar), and it would work with some Atmos content (like streaming, movies) but would not work with Atmos on devices like my Xbox or ATV4K. You would lose your center channel and subwoofer, so you couldn’t hear any dialogue or boom from the low bass since it doesn’t support linear PCM which is needed for Atmos, the audio got corrupted. It sucked and returned it for an LG bar.

Still eagerly waiting on that HDR10 v. Dolby Vision comparison video

That Sony HDMI port DV setting was confusing me -- thanks for clearing that up. Glad Sony fixed it in later models. Now AppleTV really needs to clear up their UI confusion around its Dolby Vision options.

Great explanations for 8-bit FRC vs 10-bit, and the functionality of HDMI ports on Sony TVs. Very helpful. Thank you for this!

Another helpful and informative episode of your amazing You Asked series. I sure wish the part about the Enhanced HDMI had been on when I was setting up my AppleTV 4K. But I got help from a wonderful friend in the community. Great stuff, Caleb!!! Yes, you got through it! Sure hope you were feeling great? I guess I won’t mention the darkish tone in the A-roll. Oops! I just did lol!! Love, Leezah❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

I love these Q&A videos. Keep ‘em coming matey.

Hi Caleb, my advice is to keep on keepin’ on. It’s great as is and I feel I learn a lot from these videos.

Thanks for item on HDMI 2.1. I have a Sony A95K and discovered that that standard rather than enhanced was selected. I adjusted the settings accordingly. The You Asked segments are great !

Thank you for the explanation on the Sony HDMI inputs. I have a 2022 OLED and discovered that all Inputs can handle Dolby Vision through trial and error. Wish Sony would just include a software update and clarify the HDMI settings labels. 😊

Great work!!

I love the “you asked” series, but I really think they’d do better as individual 2-3 minute videos (that can be edited as shorts) for each individual question! It’s not always clear what question/answer is being covered unless you watch the full video, which doesn’t do well for non-subscribers simply searching for answers. Keep these up!

The Sony HDMI question has saved me so much time from getting the answer. I have Sony A80L and had the apple tv 4k connected on hdmi 4, but I wanted to connect my xbox series x. I had not thought i would lose the dolby vision. Now i have the apple tv 4k on hmdi 2 with no issues and have the xbox on hdmi 4. Thank you!!!!

Hi there Celeb, I really enjoy You Asked series and I have not missed any episodes as of yet any. Quick question to ask you that I have notice on Samsung TVs. On Samsung TV box, Samsung advertise saying TV supports 120Hz Motion Rate but actually panel is running at 60Hz. What does this mean and how is compare to 120Hz motion Rate Vs. 120Hz Refresh Rate? Thanks,

Hey Caleb, Loving these videos! I need some serious help.. I’m deciding between and 83” LG G3 or a 85” Sony X95L. It’s going in a fairly well lit room but I also really love movie night with all lights off and curtains down for a cinema like experience. But the the thing that has me worried about 83” G3 is it not having MLA. Is this a big deal??

Hello my name is Daniel. I finally bought a new U7K based on your recommendations. I'm wondering what are the best settings for a good picture that you recommend?. Please and Thank you.

Hello Caleb

Hello, do you know if the Hisense U8K 100” has an 8-bit or 10-bit display? I went though the specs, but it wasn’t listed. It says it has billion + colors, but don’t know if that’s due to the 10-bit display or FRC. Thanks, great videos!!!

Maybe more questions and longer content :)

I have a question about my Hisense U8H 55,does it only have 120Hz refresh rate for game mode or is it the native refresh rate,Also what HDMI port should I be using for my Roku Ultra ? Thanks

Update for the TCL QM8, it play great for Blu-ray/4K Video Games and google tv apps. But when I play DVDs , it terrible. Have not figure out how to improve it yet.

I'll wait for next year Black Friday to see if Sony Mini LED is more discounted than it is now. Maybe even see if 8K has come down in price.

Off topic but where can I find a bonsai tree like the one on the bookshelf? Been looking for one exactly like that! 😂

Interested in a new soundbar for a 500 square foot living room area. Between Vizio elevate 5.1.4 vs the vizio M series elevate 5.1.2. Both on sale so price difference of only 100. Hoping to get good surround sound and decent atmos effects. Would I be foolish to not spend the extra 100 for the bigger vizio elevate 5.1.4?

just picked up the Samsung q60cc (from costco), would that be the same thing as the q600c?

Whats then the difference between enhanced format and enhanced format (Dolby Vision) when Both support dv?

I would love to see a deep dive on HDMI splitters (not switches). I've bought and returned SO MANY and still haven't found the right solution.

Sony a95l. Panasonic ub820. Zeskit Maya cable. Want to use HDMI port 2 but when I turn dolby vision on the Blu ray player on, the TV can't seem to deal with it. Video cuts in and out like it's a bandwidth issue. Enhanced formats on. If I turn DV off it's all good. Any thoughts?

I just picked up a Samsung q750c from Best Buy on sale. Says it’s a 5.1.2 soundbar. But a q700c is a 3.1.2. Anyone have any experience with the q750c

HI, how are you? Can you tell me is the pic of samsung s95c better than s90c? Thank you.

I have a fair new SONY TV, and I put all my settings for HDMI to enhance format that allows you to have all 4 HDMI to have Dolby vision. The others HDMI three and four are for gaming 4k120z VRR and eACR.

What is the difference between the xbox series x 4k disc player vs the Ps5's? In a previous You Asked video you said the PS5 player is better than the series x. As someone who uses the series x for gaming and as a 4k disc player (not super often but with a growing movie library useage would increase) would I notice a difference with the quality of playback on a Samsung QN85A with a Samsung QN800A soundbar? I really enjoy your videos as it helps me with my work, as I am a sales advisor.

If you are looking at high end OLED tv to upgrade to you may want to look into the A95L QD-OLED Sony TV. Rtings give it a 9.5 overall score and called it one of the best TVs ever reviewed on that site period. Caleb also gave the tv a perfect score on this site too.

I plugged my Apple TV into a non 2.1 HDMI port on my A80K, and Dolby vision looked HORRIBLE! I thought it was the TV, until I viewed (Foundation on Apple TV +) through the built-in app. As soon as I switched to a 2.1 port, everything was fine. Perhaps the Apple TV is doing some processing that requires 2.1. I'm using the eArc port for my Sonos Arc, and I don't really play VRR games, so I'm satisfied with this setup.

Unless you have a special reciever that offers all channel inputs to but used with rca in addition to speakers wire inputs, then no.

I know I'm not caleb, but if you (for example) have a left and right front tower speakers, center speaker, sub, and left and right rears, even if it is a reciever that supports atmos, it will like know what speakers connection are being utilized and default to dolby digital 5.1.
