watch a non-HDR movie and set it to RGB rec.709, and compare it to the default. see if you find a difference.

I just did try this -- 4K 60Hz then HDMI set to 3840x2160 RGB 8Bit Rec.709

I want to perceive a difference, but forcing my mind if I could see any:
- watching 1080P 8bit seems same as the recommended setting
- watching 1080P 10bit seems same as the recommended setting
- watching 4K SDR seems same as the recommended setting
- watching 4K HDR I see only a bit fade in color -- this is where I could perceive a difference by a bit only

oh well, I need to train my eyes more perhaps =)).  setting it back to the recommended.  for me it's good whatever I feed it with...

wala ng 139 na shield, 169 na...bakit po nagmura last week?

Amazon also fluctuates its pricing. Today, it is $149. Quick. hehehe

Anyway, my initial thoughts on the shield:

1. I got this primarily to play trueHD/dtsX/atmos mkv movies. The samsung smart TV cannot output trueHD via ARC to the receiver and the xbox is so inconsistent in playing media files.
2. Boot time/PQ/SQ, well as expected is top notch.
3. Remote is cool (compared to the cumbersome xbox controller hehe)


Issues
1. Still no atmos support on netflix app.  (currently using xbox for netflix-atmos viewing)
2. Annoying mic button on the remote and it is not working lol
3. It's autosleep triggers the AVR to turn off which in turn turns the TV off, even if Im using the TV with other sources.  I still have to figure out where in the chain to disable this HDMI power control ARC thing.
4. If mag brown out and power is restored, shield automatically turns ON, then turns ON the AVR then the TV.

very good pricing for USD149.  is this without the dpad controller, right?  I think it's ok not to get the dpad if your not into gaming.  at least NVidia gave its customers a choice.

for your negative findings, it's the CEC control that's the culprit-- not the ARC.  turn it off on all -- Shield, TV & AVR.  then they will need to be separately turned on/off.

I'm not at home right now so I can't confirm how's my exact set up.  this what happens on my end:
- I turn on individual switches in this order: TV, AVR then Shield -- these are power switches only of our surge suppressor
- TV is on stand by, AVR on stand by and Shield will turn on (2017 model doesn't have a power switch on its unit)
- once Shield starts to operate/boot up, it will turn on the TV automatically. this take around 3seconds. then the TV will detect a signal from the AVR so it'll automatically be set to display the Shield's signal from Android boot-up logo until the homescreen
- my AVR will still remain on stand by -- btw, I have set my AVR on HDMI stand-by mode and I chose the HDMI port where Shield is connected (Stream Box HDMI 4, I think)
- by this time, I can proceed to use the Shield (play games, watch movie using the TV's internal speaker)
- I turn on the AVR manually only when I want surround sound or when watching HD-audio movies (which AVR is a must!)

after watching and when turning them off, I turn-off or put Shield to Sleep first. the AVR remains on and TV remains on.  Next to manually turn off is the TV then AVR also turns off at the same time. Then I switch off all of the 3 on the surge suppressor.

The nvidia shield still amazes me, the picture quality and sharpness is top notch.  It's like an enhanced soap opera effect which makes it more life like.  It also notice that the sound quality became fuller.  A must by for an nmt user.

finally you've got what you're looking for, is it?

me, I'm waiting for the inclusion of Power Off/Shutdown on the quick setting -- or hoping maybe they put a short key for it.  it has this on the Shield 2015.  I'm a Shield 2017 user, though...  :)

I though long pressing the home key will bring up the power shutdown menu?

You can power off your shield via Google voice assist, using your remote just click the mic icon on the upper left of your screen and say "Power Off Shield", I just never tried powering it on that same way..

Has anybody experienced the never-ending loop? After my last update just this month, everytime i turn it on and the Homepage appears, the controller doesn't seem to work and it will restart on its own after being at the Homepage for about a minute or two. And upon restarting, it will get stuck at the 4/5 circles before the word ANDROID appears. I don't know how to fix it. Hope anyone here can help me out. Thanks in advance.
