Best PS5 Video Settings Demonstrated Using LG CX OLED TV

[@hdtvtest]

If your TV only has [Black Level] "Low" or "High" (for example LG C9 outside PC Mode), then the correct settings would be: - [RGB Range] "Limited" on the PS5; and - [Black Level] "Low" on the TV.

[@f44had]

Vincent, there has been a lot of noise and various videos on KZbin Re the issue with raised black levels when viewing hdr or dolby vision footage. Can you please discuss this and give us your thoughts? Could there be a software fix for this? This is holding me back from the oled. I game a lot and need dark areas to be detailed etc. Really hope you read this

I actually did some tweaking myself. And believe me this tv almost doesn't need any enhancements. Gamemode is nearly accurate in color. You can boost contrast to 100 if you like. Personally I don't like it. And color to 54 only 1 down, so not needed at all. Do the adjust HDR on ps5 and done. Things like adv. contrast enhancer fluctuates the colors to much. Leave local dimming at medium (less blooming) and X-tended dynamic range at high (in HDR) Also do the external device setup for Hfr. Colour temperature on expert 1. Makes the colours so much more real and more different colours. Tried all the other settings, but it'll feel like a houseparty with to many disco lights. I still wanna hear and see what Vincent comes up with. Wanna see the perfect values of the HDR adjust and calibration for the Sony x900h (xh90).

Think mine has yuv422 as max since i got LG B6 and only supports hdmi 2.0 so i assume it doesnt make difference if ps5 is plugged in directly into tv or via soundbar, the singal will still be capped at hdmi 2.0. I would need newer tv probably for 2.1 to get rgb. But for a 4 year old tv 4k at 60hz is still pretty darn good for ps5

Thank you HDTVTest, your videos had a big influence on my decision. PS5's are nowhere to be found, my 2016 Sony Bravia is over 4 years old and I was wondering if it was worth it or not to upgrade my TV first until the PS5 becomes more widely available. Which TV is best for PS5 and how to best optimize the settings is exactly what I wanted to know, and these highly informative review videos answer everything. So glad to discover this channel. I love my Bravia and didn't plan on replacing it when I get the PS5. But the price, picture quality, input lag time and features have improved so much in the last 4 years that I think now is a great time to buy. I'm very partial to Sony products and looked long and hard at the X900H, but this LG looks unreal so I'm going for it next week.

The color “Color Format” says: When displaying 4K HDR 60Hz, the color format will be YUV420 or YUV422 instead of RGB due to HDMI 2.0 transfer speed limitations. My HDCP is a 2.3 Information for the HDMI device HDR: Supported Frequencies (HDR): 24 Hz, 25 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz, (YUV422/420), 60 Hz (YUV422/420). These are the available frequencies for 4K output when HDR is in use. Then the frequencies of (Non - HDR), 24Hz, 25Hz, 30Hz, & 60Hz. What do I need to do if I need to do since my TV is a 65” 4K UHD SAMSUNG brand but like I said it’s picture is in 3840 x 2160 - 60 Hz & my system is able to let me enable the 120Hz Format but I’m still getting the 60Hz instead of 120. Just checking to see if anyone would know what to do since I have the my 4K HDMI Cable hooked up to it’s supported area to enable the 120 Hz but still getting it at 60Hz that I don’t know why though but even though I’m not having any trouble with the frame rate on my system but when I’ve been watching these videos to help your system run in FULL 4K 4:4:4 of the best quality picture & still watching tv, not having any problems as well in having it’s picture in 4K, not any flickering or anything as well while watching a 4K movie as well on my PS5

Outside his auto black, and hgig settings. You should just let hdr settings be default, and just drag the sharpness down to 0. Also enable HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color, and Instant Game Response. Color should be 50 at default. Turn off any energy saving modes. Hdr will set full OLED 100, Contrast 100, Brightness 50. Just make sure after all setting to calibrate the console hdr at the end. That’s it for hdr games as most all games are HDR. For fall guys and say older 1080p that Sony support it. I’d use dark or bright pro mode on this tv...last two options. Rtings has a good basic setup for sdr content. For that game play I have to disable hdr in the ps5 settings for now as they don’t work right as explained. And I choose dark or bright ISF pro settings for sdr with Rtings settings. All looks good! I’ve done so much research on this and glad to finally have it done. Just Sony needs to fix some issues!

@HDTVTest Can you explain your “RGB Range Auto” recommendation further? I was surprised by this recommendation with the PS5 since I think you've typically recommended forcing "RGB Range Limited", and I think others such as @DigitalFoundry & @mylifeingaming have typically recommended "RGB Range Limited" as well. For example, from the LG CX/C9 settings video for Xbox Series X you stated: "One thing to take care of is to check that black level is reproduced correctly. So Low would be the correct value, and I would be inclined to switch it on Low all the time. Whereas if you selected High it will be expanding the signal to Full Range which may create a bit more banding with the wrong input signal, so Low is generally the best idea." I've found that my 2015 LG OLED and even my newer 2018 & 2019 LG OLEDs will occasionally not detect the range correctly when set to Auto. With that said, I've always exclusively used RGB Range Full if I'm connecting to a broadcast/professional/PC monitor as these seem to expect 0-255 all the time (unless calibrated for 16-235).

Good video Vincent! I have a question... my C9 only has the option for Low and High in the settings for Black Level, so should I set my console to Limited and set the TV's black level at Low?

[@hdtvtest]

Yes.

[@91KevinJohn]

I see you r in the PC mode. With my PS5 and LG OLED C9 i get some red artifacts or flicker in PC mode. I dont know why, so i switched back to Game console mode. seems to be a C9 mistake. sadly you cant set black lebel to automatic in this mode.

[@radry100]

Try a different HDMI port. I had a flickering vertical line on HDMI 1.

[@91KevinJohn]

@@radry100 I got same problem on HDMI Port 1 and 4. I think this isnt a HDMI Port Problem.

[@igaKusuri]

@@radry100 I tried both different ports and different cables, no difference. It's a C9 + PC Mode + FRL (HDMI 2.1 signaling) issue that doesn't appear to occur on the CX for some reason. Perhaps that was whatever that got LG to limit the chip to 40 Gbps in the CX.

[@igaKusuri]

True, same thing here. They mostly occur in TV cold boot or when you summon the bottom home menu. It is rare in games, you might not even see it occur. I did see it yesterday in a dark game, though, so that was enough for me to disable it. One curious thing in my case, though: My Black Level is still Auto in my HDR Game settings, even after I changed the PC label to Game console label. Only High and Low are selectable, but it is now still set to Auto somehow?? It also works as Auto would, so I haven't touched it. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the SDR Game settings...

[@91KevinJohn]

@@igaKusuri i got a solution :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZS9paCupLamjsU This is what happen and the solution is to disable "live plus". You can find it under TV settings -> generel settings -> additional Options.

So I have a LG C9 65” (2019) and a Denon Sr 5014 receiver. I have the Ps5 hooked up to the Denon with a 48gb hdmi cable and the Denon is connected to the TV with its own 48gb hdmi cable. Issue I have is with the TV and receiver on, I turn on the Ps5 and I get audio, but no video, if I unplug the Ps5 hdmi and plug it back in, the video then comes to life. I’ve tried different setting in the Ps5 and the Denon... non HDR seems to work normally. Any ideas? Thanks

[@dominickdelduco2471]

Okay so on the c9, we don’t have an “automatic” option on the tv side of things.. so I’m guessing if we don’t watch blu ray movies we should use the automatic and high black level setting for gaming?

[@speedy8893]

The correct settings are Low on the C9 and Limited on the PS5.

[@talestalento2911]

I have a c9.. rgb full = high black level.. rgb limited = low black lvl.. theres no error doing this... in playstation if you leave automatic it will be like you are setting full so leave black lvl high.. but for watching blurays you need to put rgb limited and black lvl low

I know we have the same tv (c9). I found the image to be washed out if i put the settings to limited and low. There is like a weird look to the image... even if i know that limited and low is the "correct" image it just seems so ugly in hdr gaming. Don't you see that too?

I calculated 4K@60 w/ 4:4:4 chroma to only take 15 Gbps. I may be having trouble calculating data rates with the addition of chroma subsampling, and would greatly appreciate your help!! Here are my examples. For 4:4:4 (Full RGB) - 3840*2160 = 8294400 pixels * 60 fps = 497664000 pixels/s * 3 color channels (RGB) * 10 bits/color channel = 14929920000 bit/s = 14.93 Gbps For 4:2:2 - 3840*2160 = 8294400 pixels * 60 fps = 497664000 pixels/s * 2 color channels (4+2+2=8, 8/12=0.66, 0.66*3=2) * 10 bits/color channel = 9.95 Gbps For 4:2:0 - 3840*2160 = 8294400 pixels * 60 fps = 497664000 pixels/s * 1.5 color channels (4+2+0=6, 6/12=0.5, 0.5*3=1.5) * 10 bits/color channel = 7.46 Gbps Is my math wrong?

[@alexg9155]

Very late but I'll reply anyway. The math is not wrong, however you are forgetting Hblank and Vblank, "pixels" you don't see, which bump the bandwidth up to almost 18GBps. That should fit in HDMI 2.0, but that speed is the aggregate (6+6+6) and is never reached. You actually get 80% of that, which is not enough for 4K60 RGB 10bit even without Vblank and Hblank factored in.

[@shtiken]

the problem for me is that LG C9 has no "auto" option for black level, so I have to change it manually to match in 120hz vs 60hz games.

[@FateBit]

Change the input from game to pc (the icon) and you will have auto as a choice

[@ObeyCamp]

I enabled HGIG and went through the HDR calibration and did all that properly and now the lighting/shading is far more appropriately balanced and the bloom on games like Ghost of Tsushima is nice and not retina-burning staring-into-the-literal-sun level of intensity, however, the PS5's video is too dark (despite the whites on the TV's menus being nice and bright (it's an LG CX,) so I know adjusting the TV isn't the answer despite it being a potential workaround,) and now all the colors pop about as much as a TV without HDR, so that's great. I can't decide if this is better or worse, honestly. When I open the secret menu on the CX it says "VRR Information" not "FreeSync Information" and at the top mine says 60.0Hz, not 5.5Hz. This video may need an update too. Under the HDR settings there are now three options: "off," "always on," and "on when supported." In the "Screen and Video" menu of the PS5, there's now a new setting called "VRR" which can be set to either "off" or "automatic." Underneath this option there's a switch where you can enable or disable "Apply to Unsupported Games." Don't know if these matter or what, but the video seems to lack Information that's now available.

[@markucla]

Nick, Not sure if you've heard this already, but since this video came out, they fixed that 5.5hz setting, it was a bug, also VRR wasnt available at the time of this video which is why he didnt have the option. Neither was HDR "on when supported" available.

[@Odank]

I would recommend setting Consoles to Limited (Video) range and setting the display to "low" or the equivalent. All content works and is locked to a correct black level standard, regardless of the app running. The problem I have with "auto" is that there can be some picture modes on a variety of tv models which do not offer "auto" as an option in their specific picture modes - just "low" or "high." Therefore, to cover all the bases and all cases, the above combination will be a "set and forget" strategy that will also make you as the end user understand how your TV and console is setup for this specific function :)

[@rowns814]

I’ve been playing around with my C9 & PS5, and according to the diagnostics screen in the programmes tab, the PS5 is outputting RGB 12bit, even without the PC label on my HDMI input. Are you sure you need to set the input label to PC to get 4:4:4?
