Sorry if this has already been covered, but can anyone explain why there's so much "noise" or "Grain" in all the HDR/4k scenes? Are there any settings to change to mitigate this or is it just the "live with it" approach
?

Anyone have issues playing 4k bluray on Xbox one S, or playing HDR game on PS4? Sometimes the screen blinks black for a moment. I assume it might be the cable. Or i need to update my software on my Denon receiver. Hopefully isnt the TV as it only happens on those sources, but doesnt happen on satellite, but thats only 1080

Try connecting the source directly to your TV to see if it still happens.

I just called and confirmed with Bestbuy Geek Squad, they said the GSP (Geek Squad Protection Plan) 4yr $650 DOES NOT cover burn-in, only GSPT (Geek Squad Protection Total Plan) covers burn-in which it costs a lot more with monthly installment

it's the feed. lower quality content will be exposed. I'm guessing Netflix or cable? This tv has 4 times the resolution of your older 1080p tv. What you are experiencing is normal.

I don't think it matters in this case. I followed the link(s) from Canadian site at https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/geek-squad ... vices.aspx

EDIT: Then again, if you follow different link, you get to "American Bankers" version of terms and conditions, that spell things a bit different. In General Exclusions they say "pixel burnout in
accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines" is not covered. But, in Product Specific Benefits (TVs) the say "American Bankers will cover the cost of Pixel burnout coverage based upon manufacturer's guidelines". Specific trumps General, but "manufacturer's guidelines" (LG in this case) is not to cover for IR, so they can do whatever they please, and if you don't like it you can take them to court.

You are probably watching movies/shows that were recorded on 'film' vs. digital

What you're asking is very vague. What's the resolution of the feed itself, does it come from an external device or the TV is playing it natively? What's the actual video? Some people say some Netflix shows like Daredevil is purposedly grainy.

I'm seeing the same thing when watching Punisher on Netflix. I just assumed that it was normal and as intended for that show. If I watch other 4K content on Netflix (for example, BBC Planet Earth), I don't see that noise/grain, the picture is stunningly perfect, even during darker scenes.

Yeah Netflix 4k content with dolby vision HDR is notoriously "grainy". It's not the tv. It's the source. If you have Amazon prime, Grand Tour looks phenomenal in 4k hdr-10.

I tried a game on my xbox one x that is 4k patched and didn't notice this grain/noise in the dark colors. Sorry for the noob question, I just didn't forsee this being a problem.
That's just Netflix. They added a grain/noise filter to the source content to make it look more cinematic and edgy apparently. I see it on both a LG 65B7 and a Sony X900E. It's annoying, I agree but unfortunately not much can be done except tweet Netflix about it.

My main challenge will be to try to get an 'OK' image with my 1080p feeds, which is mostly what I'm going to be watching for a while. I fully expect to be disapointed somehow, but hopefully my PS4 Pro will make me happy with my choice.

Maybe I don't understand price protection as much as I thought, but I thought the item had to be *in stock* at the moment you are requesting a price adjustment? Having an old receipt wouldn't help in this case if the item is not in stock when you request the adjustment.

I doubt you'll get price protection if someone managed to negotiate a better deal. It generally applies to the advertised price. Couldn't hurt to try though.
