Hi I’m curious as to how your Apple TV 4K works with the eclipse in DOLBY VISION?  Mine works in hdr 60k when connected to the sound centre, but not Dolby vision. B&O have not yet found a solution to playing Apple 4K  Dolby vision through the sound centre. It will play Dolby vision thru the other hdmi ports but there’s no control with the BeoRemote One.

 

Hi. All I know is that when I fire up the Apple TV vie the BeoRemote I get a flash bar in the top right hand corner saying DOLBY VISION with the Dolby symbol.  I assume this is generated by the LG TV on receiving the appropriate signal from Apple TV 4K. I have set the Apple TV to deliver 4K UHD signal (it’s not automatically set).  I have also made sure the HDMI cable is of good quality. The sound centre is connected to the LG TV via one of the four HDMI ports (ARC).

Where do you get the info about not being able to play Apple 4K Dolby Vision?

Cheers. P

Hello all..

On another note! Has anyone had any issues with the Wi-fi connection between the Eclipse and the router?  I was getting a significant slow down on download despite the rout being right next to the Eclipse and showing an excellent connection. I ran a speed check using the inbuilt web browser and found it to be about one tenth of what is should be. I then connected a Ethernet cable and it was immediately back up to max speed. I did this several times with very similar outcomes. I am currently awaiting a response from my dealer but that may take a while!

Any info on this would help.

Cheers. P

I had the LG C7 for 14 days, before returning it,

Had the same WIFI problems, one moment Netflix 4K worked, next  it couldn't even show SD quality.

But do you use the built in WIFI of your supplier, because I have a feeling that its not a good connection in general.

Hi. Thanks for responding to my question.

I’m aware that the Wi-fi from my BT HUB is not great, that is why I have a number of Apple Wi-fi extenders and an AirPort Extreme hard wired to BT HUB creating a separate network.  The Wi-fi on the BT HUB is turned off so it does not confuse things! I have a second AirPort Extreme about 2 feet away from the TV. This serves the entire loung and office area. The speed delivered is the same as if I was connected directly to the BT HUB and that’s the highest I can get in the area I live.  

Sorry to hear you were having so much trouble with the Wi-fi and that you had to return it. I put the question to LG but they just came came back with the usual stock answer assuming I have no brains! They actually suggested I made sure it wasn’t near a microwave!

what did you end up with in the end?

Cheers. p

I did not return it because of the WiFi, but because when I got it, it was clear that I should save up for a Beovision instead. I kept my current tv which is a older LG OLED, which have no problem.

I am very temped to pull the trigger on a Eclipse now,

But a few question:

Does more have issue with the dolby Vision from Apple TV, or does it work for most of you?

Does my buttons work yet?

Does any one have a better picture of the oak finish than I uploaded?

yea, it’s a difficult choice to consider leaving Bang & Olufsen. I very nearly went down that road when we were having a whole baskof issues with the BV14. I’ve had the Eclipse for a couple of weeks now and love the picture quality and getting used to the Sound Centre.  I look forward to fitting the elusive oak speaker frett once it is available to match my BL18’s.  I think someone said they may be available in April/May. My dealer was being very tight lipped on the subject. 

There are some attractive trade in offers this week on the Eclipse.  Trade in any old tv and get £1300 off the 55 inch.

cheers P

Not sure how much this helps, but I have my Eclipse using WiFi with an Apple Time Machine about 6 ft away, but on the other side of a wall (US construction so it is hollow). So far, no issues.

Thanks Stan. I did see in another thread that others were having the exact issue I’m having. I’ll live with it being attached by Ethernet for now and see what the dealer says when he gets around to replying! I did a full power down reset today and it was fine for an hour or so then appalling thereafter!  It dropped from 52mbps to 2mbps. Not good.

Cheers. Peter

It sems that the LG has an issue with getting max speed from the provided connection (LG forums report the same).  We have 160Mbps speed, and I’ve both a wired cat6 cable from the router to the Eclipse and tried WiFi connection from the TimeCapsule 3m from he Eclipse. In both cases Speedtest on Eclipse show max 95-98 Mbps. The AppleTV4k box that are connected to the TV (wired) reports 160Mbps constantly. 

But since 80-90 Mbps is sufficient to get UHD on Netflix and Amazon, we haven’t any speed issues. The Eclipse is just fantastic!
