Yeah, even while CX sounds so sh*t and unnatural, G1 sounds so impressive. Haven't tried C1 yet but I think they might be the same since they are the same year model. G1 sounds a bit worse than A80J. A80J is cleaner but the difference isn't too much. If you don't compare the G1's sound to an A80J then anybody would be satisfied with its sound on TV shows.

Really good and to the point setting overall I set it up pretty much the same as for using Game Optimizer for black and white levels its really quick and useful You can also fine-tone the level on the PS5 itself with the HDR tuner setting to get the same result by make dark setting a bit brighter (its a good idea for LG oled since they kind of tend to calibrate extra dark to the point you start losing some shadow details) The PS5 at least for me, is displaying HDR for all games (came set like that out of the box) and I end up kinda like the effect even if it forced (I do use auto tune mapping for HDR maybe this is why) its like using reshade on PC to make your games pop if you want to use HDR only on supported game and SDR for the rest then you should change that settings on the PS5 (Keep in mind you will need to set up the SDR picture profile on your TV) As a C1 owner I find myself using the Game Optimizer mode only for online , Fighting games and fast paced shooters for the rest I like to actually use Home Cinema HDR even I was skeptical about using it and maybe its just me but I could not tell a huge different in latency for most games I wouldn't dismiss using it or at least give it a shot after all it unable you to use the benefits of the processing power you paid for when you bought the TV here's my experience with it if you or anyone else wants to try -Ai picture pro On I cant really explain what it does but for me it gives a 3dimantinaly feel to the images when gaming does great for open world games -Auto Genre Selection - I turn OFF it mess with the colors to much and doesn't really adds anything in my experience -Super resolution on hight basiclly smart upscale -Auto dynamic Contract can be useful for some games I find myself likening the Hight preset most of the time -Smooth Gradation useful tool for smoother transition between colors -TruMotion after I fine tune for liking in user selection mode I mainly use for 30 fps games to get rid of judder (find setting it to 3-4 good for it and some game deblur around 5-6) As for the rest of the settings I do turn them off and make sure power save is also turned off

Great video. Just got this TV and have been racking my brain over all these settings trying to get it how I like it. Quick question, I'm noticing the settings aren't saving. Can I do a settings profile for each HDMI input? For example, a separate profile for my live TV, my PS4, PS5, etc.? And will they save? Still trying to figure out how all this works.

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

yes, in my experience, the settings only save to that particular HDMI port, not all the ports. You'll have to make separate settings for each device, which is a good thing in my opinion.

Thank you for this video, I really appreciated it, it really helped me out understanding on how HDR works, when it comes to HDR I'm complete noob on this and never know how to set it up correctly. On my CX I get a washed out image in HDR and my Average Picture Level looks very dim when playing anything with HDR but it could be that I've set HDR up wrong in the calibration menu on the PS5 / Series X, will calibrate it with HGIG from now on on both consoles. I wish the CX got the game optimizer because I do struggle to see in dark scenes and that white and black stabilizer can really help me with that but I understand it's for 2021 LG Oleds only.

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

Yes, calibrating with HGiG will def help. Also, while the CX may not have optimizer, it does have "fine tune dark areas." You just have to be playing in VRR for it to function. As far as calibrating HGiG, check out this video I did on the matter, it may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGKagYZug5WWebM

thats correct, as you are playing in HDR, which uses DCI P3 color gamut in a BT2020 color gamut container. Gamma is grayed out because in HDR, TVs do not operate with 2.2, 2.4 gamma etc (thats for SDR). Instead, in HDR, the TV uses the ST2084 standard.

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

Sometimes games don't always support system level calibration, which is why I always adjust in game sliders as well. Typically, I adjust the sliders for maximum brightness - but make sure you don't set them so high you experience clipping in highlights. Often times, just setting the slider to 750 nits doesn't provide the best result.

Great video steady question like yourself i have the c1 one now and when you said about putting both consoles in pc mode well i tried that on my cx last time to watch dvd and blu ray movies on it but for some reason on pc mode modes like film maker mode and cinema are greyed out and the picture looks all stuttery and jaggy so whats best to do with that ?if i want to put the consoles in pc mode but still use it for normal dvd viewing ?

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

Ideally you'll watch movies from a different source and not bother using PC mode. PC mode on the C1 allows for 444 or RGB, but movies are all encoded in chroma 420 anyway, so using PC mode with movies is kinda pointless, and may even be detrimental in the sense that the TV will have to try and upconvert 420 source material to 444, which could add noise or degrade the picture. Your best bet is using PC mode for gaming and personal computer use only. And with movies, use wifi via the C1 for streaming. By default, the C1 will render chroma 422 when not in PC mode, which is much closer to the 420 movies are encoded in. The less image conversions your source or TV has to make, the better.

I have the G1 and XSX and PS5. A couple questions: 1) G-sync/Freesync/VRR - I know PS5 doesn't support these but it may in a future update. For that reason I leave them on. Everyone I've asked said that there is no negative impact at all and I never noticed anything. Is there something I'm missing? 2) Noticed you recommend BFI off. I've got it turned on XSX and tested the same 3rd party game, NHL22, which is probably the best game actually notice input lag because it's so fast paced. The motion just looks so much better on the XSX with the artificial 120hz. Everything looks good and plays good actually. I've had it off on the PS5 and turned on on the XSX for a couple months now. So I was considering turning it on my PS5. Any thoughts? You went over this really quickly. I've heard people mention dimming resulting from it but I don't see anything dimming at all on the XSX. The only dimming is a setting I have enabled on the console if the controller is inactive in case I need to pause. Had me thinking those comments/recommendations might be outdated now due to a firmware update. Can you comment? Thanks!

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

1) yeah, leaving them on will have no effect, negative or positive. Its fine. 2) If BFI looks good to you, absolutely run it. It does dim the picture a tad, and it may introduce a hair more input lag, but if the motion clarity improves your experience a great deal, you should use it.

There's a difference between the source and the display. In order to get true RGB, you need the source (PS5/XSX) to send RGB and you need the display (C1) to receive and properly render RGB. If you just set the PS5 to send RGB but leave the C1 in game console mode rather than PC mode, then the C1 will only display 422, regardless of the fact that its being fed RGB by the PS5.

even if a game does not natively support hgig, hgig can still make alterations to the picture compared to "off." For example, TLOU 2.

PC mode does absolutely nothing on ps5. Game console input is exactly the same ful rgb color. But pc mode limits you out of smooth gradation and other settings. Keep in mind that even in "game console" input mode, smooth gradation and other setting only have an effect if you use other mode than game optimizer. btw - I've noticed that boost mode brightens shadow areas in Demons Souls... tiiiiny bit. So When You use boost mode, maybe consider black stabilizer at 10

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

game mode only allows the TV to render chroma 422, pc mode allows the TV to render 444/RGB at 30-60 fps when using the PS5. And yeah, good point, Ive heard from some people that boost mode can affect gamma in some instances.

Do settings auto adjust when you play hdr game vs sdr game? Or do you manually change them everytime you play a game? Thanks love the content

Whenever I play a game in HDR, the TV automatically detects the HDR singal and engages my HDR settings (same for SDR). The only caveat is your settings are HDMI input dependent; meaning, if you calibrate settings for HDMI input 1, and then switch to HDMI input 2, your settings from HDMI input 1 will not carry over to HDMI input 2. You have to calibrate for each individual HDMI input.

[@RatedRRaj]

Do you know if Im supposed to set every game’s HDR implementation to the exact same NITS of the TV? What I mean for example is when I play AC Odyssey or any other game that allows me to adjust HDR peak luminance it often displays a number that is called ‘NITS’ which is supposed to be set according to the maximum nits available/displayed on your TV. Now after some googling it turns out LG C1 has a max of around 750 nits (if this is untrue or you have different knowledge then be sure to share it). So my question is should I also use around this number (e.g 700, 750 or 800 etc) when setting the luminance in HDR settings in game? Or am I supposed to go a further notch more and set it a few hundred up, supposedly at 900, or 1200 etc? Or no, since that would oversaturate the colours? Because in AC Odyssey the default luminance was at 800 NITS and I assumed thats because the game detected my TV’s nits, and since the game’s luminance only goes up in hundreds there was no middle option for 750, its only 700, 800, 900 etc and so on. There is also an option for ‘Paper white’ which is basically how bright white scenery or objects will appear, and that is set to default at 120. Not all games however will display this ‘Peak luminance’ setting, whereas some will simply just have brightness/contrast. I just wanted to make sure I’m doing the right thing, if my LG C1 is 750 NITS should I be setting the game peak luminance to 750 aswell, or 800 (if hundreds are the only options), or further; you might have a lot more information regarding this.

[@steadychaosproductions3376]

You have the right idea. Typically, you'll set the peak luminance to match your TV's brightness, and in most applications, this will work just fine. That said, I would encourage you to play around with the sliders to get the best possible HDR performance. What looks good? what clips and doesnt look good? For example, with Far Cry 6, I set my peak luminance at around 1800 nits, even though Im on the LG C1 which - as you say - peaks around 750 nits. Games can be quirky with their HDR tone mapping, so using a nit level higher than your TV's max brightness doesn't necessarily mean you're doing something wrong. In the end, I'd say pump the nits up to a point where you start to see clipping, then back it down a bit to the point where said clipping subsides.
