Just my luck. Per PLDT fiber is available on a limited basis in our area. Hopefully my upgrade request will come through.

I've requested for P1,899 plan at 20 MBPS. Is this enough for streaming Netflix HDR?

Thanks!

I can confirm that it is 4K but I have no way of knowing if it's HDR. How to check?

Thanks! Per PLDT, installation will proceed within 48 hrs. Not sure also on how to detect HDR but if we were to base it on KS7000 "HDR on" setting, colors would seem overly bright.

Yikes, per PLDT, Fibr is not yet available in Bagong Pagasa QC. I've emailed converge. But apart from their generated initial email, no response from them yet. What to do?

Fibr is not available in our area yet and PLDT's DSL will only give a max of 15Mbps. Is this enough for Netflix UHD/HDR? My current dsl at 3.0 Mbps is enough for hd viewing only. Will there be a noticeable improvement if i upgrade both Netflix (to UHD) and DSL or will Netflix downgrade broadcast to HD as the bandwidth is low?

Thanks!

Got the PLDT 50MBPS fiber installed last Saturday, after 3 weeks of follow up! Wow HDR videos on you tube is fantastic.

Not many Netflix HDR titles yet. "The Crown, Kimmy Schmidt, Star Trek Discovery and Jessica Jones" are a few titles that look good but compared to short videos by you tube, mas jaw dropping ang YT. Maybe because demo HDR videos ang nasa YT kaya better.

They say a blue ray player showing 4k HDR videos is much better than streaming due to compression brought about by streaming. But hey the wow factor with YT/Netflix is alright already and besides i now have the option to download those 40gb UHD HDR files if i just know where to look.

After a few days, Netflix viewing now is at par with you tube, same glorious color. Could be due to Netflix adjusting their streaming to the new bandwidth. Even Netflix streaming of ancient Star Trek is presented in stunning color. Must be also due to KS700 up scaling feature!

Kudos to fibr!

How would I know if Netflix is streaming in 4k instead of HD? I just upgraded my broadband from 8 to 25 Mbps but I didn't notice any difference in pq when I play a 4k video on Netflix.

When i upgraded to Fiber 50mbps, i also upgraded my netflix subscription to premium. This is just P90 addtional monthly fee. Then, I adjusted my Netflix setting to stream at max. During my first day with fibr/netflix, i also didn't noticed any improvement, although You tube 4k videos were immediately shown stunningly. Now, Netflix is streaming as YT is, both satisfying.

Soo I just want to check, any KS7000 owners here who use a GTX 1070?

I just got one and setting up /calibrating it isn't as straightforward as I would've wanted it to be.

First off you can't turn on 'Game Mode' when the input is labeled PC. HDR content is often washed out and in certain I chose the right settings.

Anyone with this experience?

addieboy · « **Reply #269 on:** Dec 28, 2018 at 03:53 PM »

hi guys, anybody experienced a thin black vertical line in your ks7000?

damn, its a good 60" tv but the line keeps appearing. sometimes for hours, and sometimes wala rin. still figuring out a pattern though on when it appears.
