42-inch LG C2 Picture Settings Walkthrough - Surprising [OLED Motion] Change!

We go through the picture settings on a 42-inch LG C2 OLED TV, which should also be the same on other OLEDs in LG's 2022 TV lineup, and found one surprising change in the [OLED Motion] submenu.

Hi Vincent, which TV would you suggest for my Bar, where the guests watch Soccer? It should be at least 75 Inches. I have a Sony AF9 Oled for my Home Cinema but I think Led is better than Oled for this type of usage in my Bar because Oled has higher Price, high energy consumption and burn in effect.

[@Xirtamani]

Have fun getting another in 2 years when it's burned out AF! Office work is about the worst thing you can do to these. Unless you seriously hamper your workflow to accommodate for OLED that thing won't last you very long. Not to mention it's wasted on office work anyway. Some decent LG IPS TV (most other brands are VA) would fit that work better and is cheaper 🤷‍♂️.

[@lowtohigh6009]

[@roberthuntley1090]

Re the Motion Settings, its often said that dejudder is aimed at low frequency content like 25p. Does that still apply in PAL TV regions which use 50i (in other words, is 50i affected in the same way as 25p by this setting). With broadcast TV showing on my LG OLED B8 the dejudder setting does make a noticeable difference on slow panning shots, but I can't see deblur doing anything when I try adjusting it. Related question about Real Cinema. Searching about this for this on line rapidly brings up articles related to 60 Hz inputs (3:2 pulldown etc. etc.) but how does this work when presented with a 50i signal. Very confused. Thanks in advance for any advice.

[@TechWithKG]

Vincent were you able to take a look at the new game optimizer options? At CES I noticed LG had a video that looked as if they had an option to put an app on screen in picture in picture while in game mode much like Samsung has already where you can pull up a youtube video in the corner while playing I am wondering is this indeed what that was?

[@ImaginaryWorld]

On the C1, the web browser can appear as picture-in-picture over any other video source. I have the sports updates feature turned on for my favourite teams and this initially shows a small overlay with score updates. Pressing 'more details' then launches the browser in a small window that overlays whatever you were previously watching. It's a nice little feature that I enjoy using, you can also move it around to different areas on the screen. Is this what you're expecting? What other apps in particular?

[@joselema85]

@@ImaginaryWorld I think @Tech With KG is referring to specifically when playing games on game mode that on the C1 it is not possible to have PIP with say youtube mirrored from your phone. Any other setting is fine but when playing games this is not possible but probably the best time to have it so that you can watch gameplay runs with achievements over the top of you playing though your own game. I hope that made sense

[@joselema85]

@Earthplayer I'm on an Xbox SX. The PIP works on other things but not when on HDMI. Not bothered about VRR being turned off when using PIP as I would be useful Ng it for walkthroughs only and not competitive stuff so VRR is not really needed then. Would be good if Xbox brought back the snap feature or if LG allowed us to mirror my phone into PIP while in game mode

[@adventurerwannabe]

i tried to set my tv exactly as you did but in some settings you did not specify what the ideal seting should be...for example, what should i set the oled pixel brightness to? you only mentioned you made it low for the purpose of recording the screen for the video but not to what level one should set it

[@NYC_Goody]

Go to rtings and look at their calibration. They mention for Dolby vision to keep it default. The default brightness for Dolby vision is 100. I forget what they put the hdr content at, but you can see all their settings. Only thing I changed was putting she sharpness down to zero because Vincent mentions he puts it at zero no matter what the content is. Where rtings just mentions to keep everything default on vision. But they're reputable and I've recommended them to others.

[@jonggb1]

Hi Vincent, where is that C1/C2/G2 comparison? There seems to be no link at the end of this one and I cannot find the comparison in your list of videos.

[@MB-ot3vb]

Is there any way to tell that we are in fact getting the newer WBE panel in the 42 inch model? And not the older WBC?

[@andymofoincross]

I think LG may have made a mistake in their launch pricing of the C2 42 inch. LG was probably banking on this being bought by a lot of people to be used as a computer monitor/gaming display, but now that the Alienware QD OLED monitor was announced for the same price, I feel most of those potential customers will be steered towards the Alienware if they're strictly looking for a monitor/gaming display. In my opinion the LG will be less optimized for these use cases than the Alienware and that 42 inch TV seems like a bad value for more "television oriented" used cases when the 48 inch exists for the same price and the 55 inch inch C2 for just a few hundred $ more. Considering these things, we might see considerable discounts for the 42 inch if the demand is less than what LG anticipated. Finger crossed.

purchased the 55inch c2 and received yesterday , could not understand the swivel stand under the provided stand , wanted to lock it ? maybe i can take it out ? not in any other review i have seen , must be a new adition ? i replaced my 7 year old 55 inch oled curved set 55eg920v which has never missed a beat . to be honest its a bit brighter and a bit faster but picture quality is similar . thought i would notice a bigger difference as probably been 7 other models after mine ( every year ) my room is fairly dark so maybe the brightness is not needed as much and never use the speakers as my sound goes through high end yamaha av receiver . lg should give a longer than one year warranty with this set , are they saying it might not last too much longer than that ?

[@KindOldRaven]

This. So much this. I recently tested some old-school platform gaming (best played on CRT if you're a purist) on a VR headset. Those headsets use ultra-low-persistence displays and thus are almost motion blur free, even at 60hz, but with minimal flickering and it's such a breath of fresh air. I also love well implemented BFI in monitors and TVs but it's usually quite rare...

[@budthecyborg4575]

I really hope OLED makers will someday standardize the use of surplus pixels for image movement burn-in prevention. -Right now I can't use the "Screen Move" feature because it stretches the image, you're not getting 1:1 pixel mapping anymore as soon as you enable "Screen Move".- EDIT: I don't know why I thought it was stretching the image, I think the menu changes size or something weird but I tested the C1 on a technical monitor testing website and it was the same with "Screen Move" on or off. It won't make much difference for me since I basically only play games with the HUD off, but if there's no image degradation then there's no reason not to use the "Screen Move" feature. I still think substantial pixel over-provisioning should be standard on OLED devices, it adds minimal cost but you'd significantly extend the life of the panel.

Look up the whole debacle with Sony TVs (X900H/XH90 especially) and HDMI 2.1 - you probably won't consider the A90K anymore after that. Even if the A90K would finally get working HDMI Forum VRR (no Sony TV has it atm), I doubt it would get working Freesync or G-Sync as LG has it. Also, it might look nicer, but usability of WebOS is in practice way better then Sony's stuff.

[@stash211]

@@Xirtamani thanks for the suggestion. I'm still of 2 minds about it and VRR/Freesync/GSync isn't a dealbreaker for me coz I'm happy playing on 60hz. Mainly I wanna see if Sony has implemented anything similar to LG's Adjust Logo Brightness feature. Other than that, both of these are supposed to have EVO panels even if they don't get as bright, but if any one of them can be unlocked (like last year's C1), then that would be another thing to consider.

[@Xirtamani]

@@stash211 But especially at 4k on the PC it can be quite hard or not even worth it to maintain constant 60hz and you lose everything above it. I mean when the 1% lows are at 60fps of most games their averages are at 80-90fps not to mention the 0,1% lows you'd still see as stutter. There's a reason why VRR just swept through the PC market and became a de-facto standard for PC gamers so quickly. For consoles it's less of a problem since their FPS tends to be more stable and dynamic render resolutions (and now checkerboard rendering as well) made em even more stable when they were introduced in the PS3/360-era and are almost a standard since the next console generation.
