Netflix signal lost

Hello members.

I bought a new computer just before the circuit breaker.

I am using a LG TV 49uk6320pte. It is an ultra HD TV with 4k HDR. My graphic cards is ASUS Strix ROG 2070 Super.

At the start, I have no issues with the setup,including playing Netflix videos on Google chrome.

Recently, my TV decided to show "No Signal" after windows boot logo. I thought it was a graphic card problem, I have already done the necessary driver removal in safe mode etc. I even brought it down to the service center. But there was no problem with the card.

I went home, I reset my television, and was finally able to boot to Windows.

I realised it was because of a setting on my TV called "deep colour HDR" or something like this activated.

So here's the problem
Deep HDR turned on: I can play Netflix
But when I browse the Web, no signal comes out again.
Deep HDR turned off, I can use the PC normally and play games, but when I play Netflix, the no signal comes out again.

Can anybody help 😣

I have exhausted my means of troubleshooting, I don't know what is the problem.

My hdmi cable is 2.0, yes it supports 4k 60fps

The annoying part is, preciously, there was no such issues, I have not installed anything recently and Windows is now "resetted" problem still persists.

Are you using the Netflix app from the TV or PC?

edit: from PC. You can install the Netflix app from LG store on TV (if not already installed) and run that instead.

1. Use the Netflix app on the TV
2. Get a HDMI 2.1 cable (not 2.0)

Yeah I use the Netflix app on the TV. That's an alternative. But it's just that, because previously can, now cannot, I just want to solve a problem.

2. Will try getting a 2.1 hdmi cable to test...

Thank you for your replies, yes I have a Netflix app on the TV that works perfectly fine.

It's just that, this underlying problem should not exist and I am trying to solve or find out what's the problem..

Much appreciated!

This is a very odd one,.. were there any driver updates for the GPU that got applied either by you or auto updated?

As a test I would remove all drivers and load up a driver thats older (not the latest) and see if that resolves the issue. IF it does then you know the latest driver is whats causing this.

I guess so, my Windows update is automatic.

Is there anything I should take note off? I have to verify my Windows version..

I am contemplating buying a HDMI2.1 to see if its a problem..

could be the switching of Hz (refresh rate)

most shows on Netflix is 24 Hz but the interface is 60 Hz

my TV flickers when this happens.

That's not in the auto update channel yet

Yep,.. when you check for updates it will show up-to-date with an option to update to the next build which happens to be 2004 so its requires manual intervention.

Do you think updating to 2004 is a better choice to troubleshoot my problem?

I'm reaching home soon, don't know if I should update..

Quite the opposite, 2004 is known to be buggy.

Agreed,.. I would not update to 2004 while you troubleshoot this. I feel that there could have been a GPU update that may have caused this. So running through the steps I mentioned earlier would be where I would start.

Update.

I bought a replacement hdmi cable.

Now everything works fine.

Thank you people!

Cool. If you want to now u can upgrade to 2004 but a word of warning there are bugs. My windows PC is not my primary work PC. I use a Mac for work so I don’t mind updating my Windows PC to the latest or to beta even.
