    Seiki 42" 4K SE42UGT Experience

    If you change now from Automatic to Manual, would it show detail timings set in Automatic mode? Any other way to find out what they are?

    Seiki SE42UGT - 42" 4K 60hz - Hhgregg - $221.61 shipped!

    Colorful reality picture piece. HDR with a lot wider gamut than this Seiki TV delivers. ;) However, with value $200+ all these TVs are insured, and each and every damage must end up with filing an Insurance claim with the carrier and direct complaint with their VP, if we want this virtual...

    Seiki 42" 4K SE42UGT Experience

    It sounds unusual. I tried quite a few standard HDTV resolutions listed in this TV EDID Extension, and they worked out of the box, once DP-to-HDMI adapter induced pixel clock limits were restored back to port defaults with Pixel Clock Patcher and PC reboot to re-read the EDID from TV. I also...

    As per EDID this TV has 2 native resolutions: 3840*2160@60Hz and 1920*1080@60Hz, so 1080P is scaled quite nicely over entire 4K screen without bars. It also has a list of supported standard TV and monitor resolutions, but the picture will occupy only part of the screen at Just Scan 100% aspect...

    Make sure your internet sub current speed, and wired LAN or WiFi speed is sufficient for 4K stream playback in selected YouTube video encoding format & bitrate. Source video stream 4k@24fps encoded as H265/HEVC may require up to 32Mbit/s real WiFi speed, and 4K video encoded in H264 requires...

    You were lucky then. Generally its between you and the mail carrier to file a damage claim, have them the item inspected at your place, and take it back for free as it becomes the insurance company property, or at times leave it as a gift if not recoverable. But the shipper is usually out of...

    Tracking PMs

    There is "Track Messages" option in PM Section, but I can't find any ways to activate this option on certain PMs exchanges. What "track messages" feature mean on this forum, and how to activate it? Also, on most forums PMs exchange is stored as a private thread, so the entire exchange with a...

    Newegg reports say majority of customer returns are good working products. These folks just didn't know how to correctly set them up, or wanted to try a different model, but claimed damage or defects to get free returns. Newegg then is left with a choice to repackage it and sell to the next...

    Nice shots! :D Can you take some close ups on the main board and post high resolution photos? I wonder if these stickers show HDMI and Graphics processor models, both under huge heatsinks? The 2 main chips look highly integrated, can't see any other chips on the board apart from memory chips...

    They also blocked in firmware accepting YCbCr 4:4:4 source signal at 4K reso despite supported in the EDID, which in theory can be displayed by the panel directly without conversion. So the only working options at 4K are to send RGB 4:4:4 or 4:2:2, and its default downsampled to YCbCr 4:2:2 and...

    Is there a way to always link to the last page of a certain thread? I bookmark some interesting forum threads, but they always point either to the 1st page, or to some page I bookmarked. Some forums allow to add a certain sign after page address like #lt that will always redirect to the last...

    Seiki SE42UGT - 42" 4K 60hz - Hhgregg - $221.61 shipped!

    Without proper diag it was premature to ship it back. It may hint of overheating issue. Does it do the same with other sources, when playing TV channels? What's your PC GPU model & settings, Windows and Media Player resolution, scaling & up-conversion settings, TV scaling and mode settings? Did...

    AMD displayport problem?

    Any cable attenuates signals, some more, other less, it mostly depends on cable length. A firmware update may improve DP chipset sensitivity or BIOS algorithms handling weaker signals. Its always advisable to check the manufacturer sites for any BIOS and chipset firmware upgrades. Chipset models...

    Seiki Digital is owned by Tsinghua Tongfang CN, they also make TVs for Element, Westinghouse and some other marketing brands, but not all you listed. It uses the boards made by CN companies. For this TV, FCCID: 2ACWISE42UMT Funai Japan seems to be a separate brand franchise. However, lower end...

    I guess 60hz is going to be in Boost mode burning out the Mac? ;) As you described, on Mac depending on model one may need to add EDID Override for this TV, and enable HiDPI. For readers would be nice, if you explain how did you come to these code values in the Scale Resolutions array? Patch...

    AMD displayport problem?

    I think you misunderstood. DP1.2 chip is on the GPU, you don't need to flash the chip on the monitor. Generally, flashing modern GPU or Mobo BIOS is about the same routing as flashing your monitor or any other device firmware. Most devices have 2 firmware copies stored, so they can auto reset...

    AMD displayport problem?

    Flashing GPU BIOS is easy and safe. In fact, its mandatory if suggested by the card manufacturer, otherwise you might loose warranty or recall rights if any. Find and download the latest BIOS from the OEM card maker. You can always save your factory BIOS backup and revert to it. ATIWinFlash -...

    People reported 24ms latency at 4K@60Hz in PC Mode, which sounds pretty decent for many games. As per Overclock forum reports, older Seiki 4K 39 & 42-inch models were upgraded to 1080P@120Hz with factory or hacked firmware updates down the road and work stable, since 120Hz is native to this TV...

    AMD displayport problem?

    You can save and load this test image in an Image Viewer (not web browser) at 100% zoom with no desktop, monitor and GPU scaling to see what chroma you're getting on screen, take a photo (not screenshot). But 55Hz may be worse "the trouble", although the adapter may serve good when coupled with...

    A more advanced PC won't improve your fonts readability on this monitor unless your current video card is really low end, but it will improve your gaming experience due to 4K@60Hz 4:2:2. However, the black-on-white fonts are quite sharp on it, 4:2:2 mostly affects color fonts on color...
