- So I dropped an old smaller tv while trying to say it can be repurposed as a monitor for a vintage PC...oops. I take a look at my new hisense tv that has a lot of things that I like, but also alot of things that I hate. For some reason they like to force Netflix, probably some sponsorship. But I was playing around and got around it, without actually hacking the TV and risking bricking it. I also patched the HDMI on my old potato pc so I could get 4k to work (but at 30hz) and play a game and try to watch 4k youtube while it's still free.
If you're also looking to remove (hide) Netflix from your VIDAA hisense TV, then go to settings then system and set your location to Germany. You don't need to change your language, just set Germany. Note: when you change the country, all apps are deleted and replaced with country specific ones. This includes any you have installed yourself.
If you don't mind Netflix locked to the first spot and you're just looking to have least preloaded garbage as possible, then set Ireland. This one comes with so little apps that even 3 out of 6 dedicated app buttons on the remote don't work and even when you connect to the internet some apps get deleted and replaced by mandatory disney plus, but the amount of items remains the same.
nice content man! i now see why u know so much about tech! thanks for enlightening me on the bill gates video!
You're welcome
Hi, good video, can you explain a bit more what that pixel patcher did please. Did it enable the graphics card on your OLD pc to output a 4k signal to the tv via an older hdmi port??
Hey man. I used the atikmdag to patch the pixel clock and unlock more mhz because it's limited by default to 165mhz.
I have ati radeon hd5870 which has 1.3 hdmi and it's not capable of 4k by default. The gpu also has display port 1.1a that is also not capable of 4k at 60hz.. instead it does 30hz.. but there exists a tool called Custom resolution Utility (CRU).
After you patch the pixel clock.. it's likely you will have to use CRU to create a custom resolution.. and lower the settings such as blanking, back and front porch.. usually if you reduce everything to 12 it should be working on most lcd panels. If not you have to increase these settings. It's trial on error.
The reason why you have to fiddle with this is because you need to save pixel clock mhz to enable higher hz. In general the closer you get to 60 the better.
You will also have to figure out whats you new pixel clock limit... In my case with this gpu it seems to be 330mhz for hdmi (which can give 4k at 30hz) and 480mhz for display port that easily gives me 55hz at 4k(with reduced settings) for my pc monitor, that's also connected.
You can do this by adding a resolution.. pay attention to pixel clock that is listed, then restart your pc or use the included gpu restart program.
After reboot go to advanced display settings, click "list all modes" if the custom resolution you added is listed(such as for example 4k at 36hz) then it means you are within the pixel clock limit.. if it's not then you are above it and you need go back to CRU and lower it...
if it's listed, then try it out, to see if you get usable mode, if you do then you may want to see if you can get better, so you can get higher hz.
Note that the resolution might be pushing the limit and glitch, the common is random green pixels flashing, so it looks like your monitor has dandruff, or it might even flash, or briefly show then go all black, or not show anything at all, in that case you need to lower hz in cru.
Windows should revert to previous mode if you get unusable display.. if not you might have to go to safe mode and delete the problematic custom resolution.. if that doesn't work then you can try unpatching the driver. If still doesn't work then you will have to uninstall the gpu driver, reinstall and then try again with patching and creating your custom resolution with cru.
@@beardsntools Thanks for the detailed info
@@GalaxyCat001 you're welcome man, hope it helps.. I forgot to say similar patch exists for nvidia.. atimdag is for ati/amd gpus only
