MP 7,1 Got my 65" LG OLED TV setup ready for my MP7,1

[bxs]

In preparation for my MP7,1 I wanted to check out connecting to my 65" LG OLED TV.

I only have my late 2016 15" rMBP13,3 available today to check this out, so went about hooking up and connecting things. I have and use the OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock with my MBP, but was disappointed this dock had no HDMI port.... so dragged out my dusty OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock that does have an HDMI port, and hooked that up. 👍

• My late 2016 15" rMBP13,3 was connected to 3 displays; my MBP, my Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display, and 65" LG OLED TV.
• The Apple 27" is connected to the MBP via a USB-C/TB3-to-TB2 adapter.
• The 65" LG OLED TV is connected via HDMI via an OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock having HDMI output.
• The OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock is connected to the MBP via a USB-C/TB3-to-TB2 adapter.
• I had to make no setting/configuration changes on the LG TV... it was simply plug&play.
• I was impressed it worked without issues.

I must admit, this 65" LG TV display looks absolutely awesome, and can be viewed clearly at 15 feet away if I choose.

I just hope this TV hookup will work flawlessly with my soon to be delivered MP7,1 using its HDMI port in the Radeon Pro Vega II.

Is image burn-in on OLEDs not a thing anymore?

It is, permanent burn-in is still a thing with static content over prolonged exposure on OLEDs.

Especially the menu bar and browser are going to be a problem, as well as desktop icons and background image.

You have good eyes, I can hardly read the words on my 84" TV if I am 15' away from it

Hey, guys.... thanks for your inputs.

• Using my OLED TV is a temporary solution while waiting for a more suitable display... so burn in is not a concern for me.
• The clarity of text and images actually amazes me and the TV screen is ideal for reviewing project finals for clients, and the clean-looking big screen really impresses them.

If you don't need HiDPI mode an LG OLED can be a real big monitor. ;-)

5K resolution scaled to 4K is useable.
