    Hold the up arrow and rewind button together for 10 seconds and you can set resolution and frame rate at a more granular level.
    Also hold down the ok button and the down button for 5 seconds then press the three lines button and and you can open developer tools menu activate system x-ray and advance options and you can see more useful info.

    Question….I have a first edition FireTV and have really enjoyed it but due to an accident, I have to get a new tv. Was wondering if the features of the FireTV were unique and I should just buy another one, or if there are other options of smart tv with all the same aspects the FireTV possesses but might be even better?

  • @tarastawasz

    Caleb I have a question in regards to the tv. Do you have to sign in every time. Also does this tv use cable for me to be able to watch my local channels or is it just certain channels that on here.

    Very interesting, thanks. What I would really like is to be able to change the default sort order on the media player. I plug in a WD 1TB USB Drive with all my ripped DVDs on it and obviously I want the films in Name order but I have to change the sort order every time I use it.
    Any ideas?

    I have a question regarding Dolby Vision on Fire TV. Using the native apps on my X900H, I’ve noticed that Dolby Vision pops way more than on the same apps with the same picture settings on my Fire TV. The Fire TV is plugged into HDMI 4, which is an HDMI 2.1 port and supports Dolby Vision, so it shouldn’t be the port that’s the problem. Is there any reason why Dolby Vision would look better in the native apps than on the Fire TV apps?

    • @boontathehutt3869
      @boontathehutt3869 Před rokem +1

      Did you go into the HDMI Signal Format controls in settings and change HDMI 4 from "Standard format" to "Enhanced format (Dolby Vision)?"

    Bought the 55" Omni QLED Fire TV for Prime Day 2023. Boy, I tried hard to do every minute variation of color calibration/picture adjustment with the on-board OS and each HDMI port with a variety of devices, cables and sources and under different light but still had a washed out and mostly overblown display. Had to send it back. I am now a little suspicious of QLED. I put my 2019 JVC 50" 1080p TV back up and had more vivid, natural color before a single calibration step. The Fire TV did have slightly improved clarity due to 4K res but was just a disappointing experience. Maybe I had a defective unit....?

  • @thomasheckhaus205
    @thomasheckhaus205 Před 10 měsíci +1

    Hi Caleb I bought one of these Firesticks simply to see what I could get free with my Amazon Prime account.
    I do not have the "A" device nor do I want one. A family member set it up once and within a month threw it away. She did not like the privacy intrusions at all.
    As far as my TV, it's a dumb TV. I have a Blu-Ray DVD player also with no wifi. I do enjoy PBS and may subscribe to The PBS service but that's all. I have no intention of turning this into a cash sucking advert driven waste of time.
    Therefore can you recommend the options and settings I'll need to simply watch Nova or perhaps Masterpiece theater on PBS.
    Nothing Else. Plus I only have 2 HDMI ports so when I use my DVD player, the Firestick is unplugged and powered down. I intend to switch it on only when I plan to watch a PBS offering.
    Thanks for any help.
    Tom

    Couple video but I was wondering what's the point if you're lucky enough to have a Sony with an Android system on the backbone that lets you install anything and everything. Why do you need this fire stick? Is there anything that it can help out with? The TV can't do by itself alone?

      I use mine to stream music in HD through HDMI. Amazon music has native support for 24bit/192khz directly through 4k fire stick via HDMI into my receiver. Android operating system does not have this ability. Just one example. After months of research this was the cheapest options for "lossless" music streaming for under $100 CDN

    I tossed my new Fire Cube 3rd Gen out the window since the return date passed. This malfunctioning piece of plastic sounds out the loudest static to speakers I 've ever heard. Amazon's so-called cure is bunk. This piece of nothing is just a waste of money and time. No more Amazon electronics for me. JUNK-JUNK-JUNK
