Monitor HDMI? Y=good

HDMI is what it has.

Excellent !!!

Cannot wait.

Wonder if all the features will work?

I guess I'll find out.

This information makes me want to try a Plus or Joey4 on my newer 77 Sony oled to see if the picture is better.

I wonder if the Wireless Joey 4 will output to my 32 inch QHD (2K) computer monitor?

I once hooked up an Apple TV box to my computer monitor and it worked I think.

I don't know what resolution the Apple TV was sending to the computer monitor.

I'm very pleased with the picture from the Joey4 on my TV.

The satellite channels picture quality from the Hopper 3 on my newer 77 Sony oled could be better.

Perhaps the satellite channels being output 1080i?

Maybe it is the large screen size?

I am not sure why the picture seems a little less good from the Hopper 3 on my newer 77 Sony oled?

I have tried the Joey4 on an older 43 inch 4K LG non oled that doesn't do HDR.

Joey4 is great!!!

Can't wait to get the Wireless Joey 4.

Maybe a Plus or Joey4 newer would look better on my 77 inch TV?

Thank you for your help.

we have a 77 inch oled sony our hopper 3 looks amazing on it!! as good as direct would and for the standard def channels it upscales awesome. i wonder if it's something in the tv settings or something going on with the hopper.. we have an LG oled tv in the truck with an apple tv and it looks great to using dish anywhere. the joey 4's are an awesome client!!!

You will probably notice a slight increase in PQ on the Joey 4's as it uses a newer chip.

What Scott said and another rambling statement by me.

I think that it's possible that the chipset in the Hopper Plus and Joey 4s could produce different picture quality results but I have not tested it yet.

Take what I say with a grain of salt.

Shouldn't have said the combination of Hopper 3 and my 2022 Sony XR-77A80J is less good.
I watched a 4K UHD Blu-ray on the Sony last night and the picture was really good.
Better picture always a goal right?
Satisfied with Dish.
Love TV.
Found that some combinations of equipment are better than others.
The Hopper 3 is 9 or ten years old.
Hopper Plus and Joey 4s newer.
Maybe the Hopper 3 doesn't upconvert the satellite broadcasts the same as the new Android boxes do?
My 77 inch Sony oled is an older model.
Some of the newer 77 inch Sonys are better.
I have only tried my Joey 4 on my old LG 4K oled and my old LG 4K sdr monitor.
Great results with the Joey 4 on both of those monitors.
Joey 4 is absolutely great.
I have not tried a Hopper Plus or Joey 4 on the 77 Sony.
I am willing to try and maybe the newer Android Dish boxes are better?
Maybe a Hopper Plus and or the Joey 4 would improve the picture for me with my particular 77 inch Sony?
All of my video sources produce different results.

About Dish Anywhere:
When I am using Dish Anywhere on my Iphone in rural locations with spotty cell coverage the stream drops and reconnects to the beginning of a stream I had already just watched minutes ago. I have to restart the phone app to get live. Only with a weak cell signel I think.
Dish Anywhere on my old Apple TV HD device running the latest Apple software on one of my old plasmas also has issues.

Dish Anywhere in my home where I have great internet on a newer Android Google Chromecast connected to my 43 inch 4K sdr LG non oled is phenominal.
I've changed my mind, I love Dish Aywhere.
Dish Anywhere on a third party device doesn't replicate the actual Dish boxes though.

Sony uses LG OLED Display panels but the electronics makes the difference in the processing of the signal.

As for Dish Anywhere, your speed is the full WiFi/Ethernet speed at home so it's giving maximum bandwidth available and should still be good on the iPhone when at home. When you are using an external connection, it is limited by the upload speeds of your internet connection depending what you have. For me, I have 1.4Gbps download but 42Mbps upload and of course DISH Anywhere does not use the full 42Mbps either.

About the Sony. This is correct.

Models change and companies change every year sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but Sony has generally been good.

I think there was a Sony oled one year that used a Samsung panel and may have been great.

I think TCL is going to start making stuff for Sony.

I just ordered a Hopper Plus but I will be hesitant to use it because of the greater complexity having to have one more thing plugged into my Hopper 3.

I don't know how the Hopper Plus will affect the picture quality.

With the Hopper Plus plugged into the Hopper 3 it will be every hole filled.

I don't know which one of the three USB ports I should plug the Hopper Plus into?

On the bright side with the Hopper Plus I should be able to view and control Google Home on my big screen.

For Dish Anywhere I am sure network/internet connection is important.

You can get a USB Hub and plug it into one of the rear USB ports and expand on your inputs without using the USB port on the front of your Hopper 3.

That's an idea.

sony does use LG panels is correct. and the electronics do make a difference in the processing of the signal wich is also true. though sony also cherry picks the panels to.

I recommend the USB hub be self powered. Gives you options to add unpowered EHDs without concern about stressing your internal power supply.
