Thx, THX!

As someone who’s a big THX fanatic, I was surprised to find there’s an app from them! I think it’s pretty cool, but it could use an update. Plus I am unable to play the THX trailers this app offers. I could see this app being sort of forgotten, but I think a nice, solid update would be refreshing. Otherwise, I like it!

Hopefully THX sees this

Helpful app

This app is a brilliant way to quickly calibrate a TV for correct picture quality. It does seem outdated a little though I think a modern app would be extremely popular especially if it allowed for HDR and correct colour balance calibration too

Great sounds and pictures.

After I have my new Samsung tv on my birthday, I never got chance to do so until I got today. But pictures looks great on my new TV, and sounds speakers so I hear them and see it. I can stream anytime with Samsung TV Plus, Paramount+, and anything like YouTube. Wow. I can play games better than a old analog tv. Thanks, THX.

IT STILL WORKS ! Read below

So good news is even after all these years with no updates it still works, so if your having issues follow my method, I mirrored this app to my OLED 4k TV, I have the old 5th Gen 4K Apple TV and was having issues at first like some of the reviews until I set it up differently, before I begin I went to the equipment section (Picture of the TV) and picked my TV brand and Apple TV as my connection I chose no sound bar since I’m not using one, I’m not sure if this is necessary but I was having issues so I decided to configure it and see if it worked.

1. Open the app and click get started on the home page, video will begin

2. Then on your iPhone go swipe down or up (depending how old your iPhone is) and find the screen mirroring option and click on your Apple TVs name

3. Your TV will connect and It will be a black screen but you will hear the ladies voice starting the video

4. On your iPhone exit the video, and restart the video

5. The video will show up on your TV working immediately, if you want to watch it then turn your iPhone side ways (landscape mode) so it shows it in full screen, you can now exit the video on your phone and go to the adjustment section ( wrench and screw driver picture) and begin, when moving from section to section you can hold it normal, you only need to hold it in landscape mode when your doing the tests so that the the images fill up your whole screen.

Enjoy !

The Deep Note Button.

My favorite part is listening to the deep note thing with a push of the button.
