<comments>:

(I'm not going to run through every entry like last time, so I'll only highlight some of them):

① ~ ③ : Now, as these would keep appearing across every updates on V50 so far, I now even question if these entries are really happening....

⑤ : Look at this screenshot...

This is what you'll get.

Notice everything else is the same except for 2 bands for mids?

I'm not sure why it's set like that....

I did try that myself before, but... honestly... I still don't know. Not impressed at all.

Doesn't really even make me 'feel' improvements...

DTS:X on/off didn't matter... really....

⑧ : At first, I had no clue with 'usability' part... since LGE would not sometimes reveal what the updates are for! (like the ones from App updates within LG phones... most of the times.)

But when I tried to write another Steemit post for this blog with my LG V50 (and of course with Dual Screen)...

I realized... Dual Keyboard (which is like full screen keyboard for use in landscape mode. Don't worry -- I will explain this in future LG V50 posts!) would automatically launch to the other screen without me having to do it myself, after I launched it for first time (starting with 2nd attempt)... woah.

So... I guess that 'usability' improvements include this, at least?

Well, but still not the most satisfactory experience, yet.

I hope LGE would reduce the delay in launching it, and make some way (like LG Game Pad -- fullscreen virtual gamepad -- also going to explain in future LG V50 posts!) to force this to launch (at any time) and keep it until I manually close Dual Keyboard myself, not closing every time when keyboard input wouldn't happen. Please... (along with ability to customize LG Game Pad)... LGE... make these happen!!!

<updates on Dual Screen> :

Not only there was update for LG V50 itself, but also Dual Screen itself got its own update too!

Even though there isn't explicit version number anywhere to be found (at least to myself), I think this update is still worth mentioning.

As you can see, this will make Dual Screen turn off a bit in the process, but be patient, this won't take more than minutes, lol!

(BTW...)

Surprisingly no issues so far after using the replacement Dual Screen, but I can't be sure yet.

I am still waiting for response from LGE for the test results.

Wish I could get repairs to my main phone, if replacement is not gonna be made, but we'll see.

I'll keep you updated! 👍
