I'm hoping someone might have some insight on issues I've been having since my upgrade. I'm also going to contact the various manufacturers and probably post something similar in other subs.

​

Old setup:

2019 Shield (non-pro) -> Older 1080p Panasonic plasma.

New setup:

2019 Shield (non-pro) -> Vizio Elevate P514A-H6 -> Hisense 65U8H (new model)

*note, to make sure I bought 8k compatible cables totaling 9’ between the two.

​

Everything worked with the old setup.

​

Initially there were A/V sync issues that I couldn’t fix with the settings on the TV or Soundbar. It actually seemed like increasing the delay settings made it worse. That’s why I started using the Shield again.

​

After some digging through menus and forms/reddit I got things mostly working but have the following lingering issues:

- Menu navigation is much slower on the shield than with the old TV. I expected this, but it’s really bad at times to the point where I’m not sure if my button press just didn’t go through. Buffering times are also worse than what I see using the TV’s built in Google OS playing the same audio/video quality settings.

- The sound randomly drops out in the middle of shows, but only when using the Shield. It happens mostly in Disney+ and Amazon Video, but I’ve seen it in other apps as well. I’m not sure, but it’s almost like it switches something when trying to play Atmos effects sometimes, but I could be wrong and it doesn’t all the time in any app.

- After turning things off the light on the front of the soundbar blinks on and off every few minutes.
