Hey guys, my friends and I play Dirt Rally 2.0 pretty often during our hangouts. A buddy bought and brought over a Thrustmaster T598, and honestly, it took the experience to a whole new level compared to a xbox controller. Is there anything better I could get for a similar price? There are so many models out there it's hard to keep track, and if I remember correctly, he just bought whatever was available at the local electronics store. Thanks!

Hi, I recently bought an LG G5 65" OLED to use as a second monitor for couch gaming, but I’ve hit a wall. Most games I try to run on the TV via HDMI 2.1 perform terribly.

For context, on my desktop monitor (MSI), games like *The Last of Us Part 1* run at 130 FPS on Ultra settings (1440p) without any upscalers like DLSS. However, when I run the same game on the TV with the exact same settings, it becomes practically unplayable—dropping to around 50 FPS with constant micro-stuttering.

What’s even weirder is that, according to the Steam overlay, my GPU usage drops to about 40% when connected to the TV. The cable is plugged directly into the GPU port. This happens across most games, even if I turn off all "Game Optimizer" settings on the TV. My specs: * GPU: RTX 5070 Ti * CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 * RAM: 32GB Patriot Venom 6000 MHz Has anyone experienced similar issues with LG OLEDs or knows what might be causing this performance drop?

Hi, I bought The Last of Us Part 1 on Steam yesterday and I'm having pretty major performance issues. I'm playing on a 5070 Ti / R5 7600 / 32GB RAM, and unfortunately, regardless of the settings—whether Ultra, High, or even Medium, and whether at 1440p or 4K—the game stutters terribly and there's an issue with flickering lights in interiors. I'm playing on an LG G5 TV connected via HDMI. Also, the game feels like it has an FPS cap, even though I've disabled all options that might limit it. Mostly game funs in 50fps even on 1440p with low settigns.. Is there any fix to get this running like it should?

Edit: when i play at my PC monitor MSI game runs fine. ultra settings capped at 120 fps.

Thnaks!

Hi, I'm having audio issues while gaming on my TV. Regardless of whether I play in native 4K, 2K, or 2K with DLSS, I hear cracking in the speakers from time to time—it's hard to describe, it sounds like crinkling foil.

At first, I thought my external USB DAC might be acting up, but the problem persists even if I use the DAC via an optical cable connected to the TV and set speakers as TV in windows system. Or if I bypass it entirely and use the TV's built-in speakers. I have a feeling the problem only occurs with the background music in games.

What's worth noting is that during these audio issues, there are no noticeable FPS drops or stutters. The game runs perfectly fine otherwise. The problem definitely occurs in Expeditions: 33 and Gothic Remake. (only 2 games i play on TV)

My hardware specs:

• GPU: PNY 5070 Ti
• CPU: Ryzen 5 7600
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
• RAM: 32GB Patriot Venom 6000
• Cable: Avinity 8K 3m HDMI
• Display: LG G5 TV

Any advice would be appreciated how to fix it!

I bought the controller just to play Expedition 33 for a second time. It only requires two buttons, so I figured I could manage to play it from the couch comfortably ^^

anyway I connected my Xbox controller to my PC. I managed to configure it in Steam so that I can move the mouse cursor and simulate a right-click. However, there’s one problem: for some reason, I can’t use the Windows on-screen keyboard. It doesn’t react to clicks at all. The mouse works fine, but the controller doesn't. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi everyone, I’m having a weird issue with my TV and audio setup. I have my TV connected to a DAC via optical, while my PC is connected to the same DAC via USB. When I use the PC, the sound is incredible—with the amp at 2 o’clock and the DAC at only 30/100, it’s almost too loud. However, when switching to the TV, I have to crank the DAC all the way up to 90 just to get the same volume level I get from the PC at 30. Any idea why the optical signal is so much weaker or how to fix this?

Hi! Is HDMI 2.0 enough for 4K on this TV, or should I definitely go for 2.1? I have two 2.0 cables, but installing them is a bit of a pain, to put it mildly. If there’s a noticeable difference, I’d rather wait 3 days and buy a new 2.1 cable. Thanks!

There is any option to do it? my cats going crazy when i use this feature, I had to catch one of those bastards in mid-air by the tail when it jumped at the TV.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for technical help regarding the Prime Video app on my LG G5 65" (webOS 25). I have a 1Gbps connection and YouTube 4K works perfectly, but I’ve confirmed that I am NOT getting 4K on Prime, even on titles that should support it.

I’ve tried several titles like The Lord of the Rings, Apocalypto, John Wick, some cartoons and Fallout, and the image quality is terrible—definitely not 4K. The "UHD" badge never appears in the playback info; it stays stuck on "HD" no matter how long I wait.

The confusing part:

• sometimes i see the Dolby Atmos and HDR pop-ups in the top right corner of the TV when starting a video.
• My Prime account is bundled through my ISP/Internet provider.

If the TV is triggering HDR and Atmos, it clearly sees the metadata, so why is the actual video stream capped at 1080p/2k ? Is there a known issue with the app on webOS 25, or is Amazon silently throttling ISP-bundled accounts to HD while still letting the HDR flag through?

Has anyone found a way to force the UHD stream or fix this resolution cap?

Thanks!
