GeneralMy TV/Monitor woes have ended Pin

I contacted samsung support again, this time more expecting I'd probably just end up venting my frustration at samsung (otherwise nicely) at a poor employee because I didn't expect them to fix my problem (as I said not my first time). To be clear, I don't abuse customer service staff, it's not their fault but I make my dissatisfaction pretty plain at the same time.

I posted about this before, but basically I use a large 4k SmartTV as my dev machine monitor for reasons. It worked fine until samsung updated the firmware on it behind my back. Ever since it would start in the "Samsung TV" streaming service complete with sound whenever you turn it on. I'm often awake between like 2-4am. Furiously mashing the volume down button on my remote as soon as i power on, prepping to power off if the firmware lags and starts samsung tv before the volume hits zero. It was quite a bit more anxiety inducing than what I paid for.

I finally found the magic sauce, thanks to this employee, who basically

A) Got it to remember the source, and not automatically select a source for me
B) Got it to not start with the home menu shown anymore (it always had before, and I just lived with it)

After some further digging, I found out how to enable full range for the HDMI signal on the TV. QLED ain't OLED but I'll take even their "fake" HDR if they're offering. Expanded black range. woo

It's a fine monitor now. Better than when I started, so I guess my sister isn't getting a newish TV after all.

I'm still buying LG next time.
