Adrianli Hypersonic October 11, 2018 Share October 11, 2018 any power supply to iphone/ipad? Refer to the screenshot photo i posted. HDMI end to tv. USB end to powerbank(at least 2A output) or charger. Lightning end to Ipad. Yes, need power supply. It will charge the Ipad and power the HDMI end. There is a software embedded into the plug. No need to config, just plug and play. But if you want to have different display, can toggle the tiny switch in the HDMI plug. At least 2A power supply as it is powering two devices. I used old powerbank with 1A output, it will hang occasionally. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matoonia 6th Gear October 15, 2018 Share October 15, 2018 Getting a 55" to replace my 5yo 47" TV. bombarded by all the variants out there. One thing I noticed is the OLED models almost double the price of 4k LED. I don't really watch that much tv, mainly for the old folks at home. And when I do it's mainly football and sports channels. Hopefully the new TV can also watch youtube for the kids. I also have starhub digital so no issues on digital antenna etc. Is the samsung ua55ju6600 at $1388 ok for my needs?

If you watch football and sports then I would top up 600 to get OLED. I would rather have 2K oled than a 4K Led. If you only watch Korean drama then the 4K led is good enough and you save 600.

I would recommend oled for people who like to watch movies, cos then the shadows/blacks are deeper. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
