Sort of an edge-case situation here. I have 4K HDR and 1080p versions for all of the movies in my library. While my 2017 Nvidia Shield Pro was connected to my 4K LG C9, the 4K version would automatically be selected as expected. No problems at all. Recently however, I’ve moved my Nvidia Shield to m…

Looking at the specs for your projector its Native resolution is only 1080P. While it accepts 4K as an input it’s never going to actually show you 4K. This would be why your shield is detecting it as 1080 and Plex choosing the 1080 version of a file until you manually change the resolution of the s…

If you share the Plex app logs, I can take a look however its likely that the SHIELD is detecting your projector as 1080p and then Plex thinks your better off playing the 1080p version, or because your movie uses HDR Plex is deciding you can’t play HDR and as such will prefer the non-HDR copy to avo…

I think you’ve miss understood what I’ve said. This projector has 2 1920x1080 for each color (RGB). It is a 3D display so that is most likely the reason for 2 per color instead of 1. It is 4K Compatible, meaning it supports 4K as an input not as an output. That said, this projector only supports …

You’ve gone from claiming in your first comment that this is a 1080P projector, and that it will never actually show me 4k, which it is factually false. There is an indisputable difference between the outputted projection when viewing 1080P vs 4K content. Other than for the reason of just simply ra…

Not trying to rag on your projector… stating a fact. Its own documentation clearly states the lcd displays are 1080. But no I’d never by a projector. This is from my experience repairing them and their rear projection cousins

Yes, like I mentioned in my second reply to you, and will here again — two 1080p LCD displays with pixel-shifting technology to achieve 4K. A technology which outperforms many native 4K projectors . But anyway, you’ve made your case, although unfortunately not by stating facts. You can pack up your …

Lol 2 x 1080 with fancy video processing != 4k. But hey if you don’t believe what Epson literally put on their own website as the spec of the projector :man_shrugging:

No idea what the hell you’re on about. I’ve never denied anything Epson “put on their own website” as the specs at all. If you were to do some actual research you would find that a good pixel-shifting projector can have a better overall image for the price than a native 4K projector, when factoring…
