LG TV Settings You Should Change Right Now!

[@jonhendrickson202]

I love my 55in G4. Watching transformers 3 Dark of the moon with cinematic movement on is an experience. Cant believe how real it looks with fluid movement. The bumblebee movie was crazy too.

[@brianpetersen6128]

Came here to say cinematic movement setting with real cinema off is better imo.

[@jonhendrickson202]

Ill have to give that a try. Thanks​@brianpetersen6128

[@jonhendrickson202]

​@brianpetersen6128 Finished some testing and your right. Thanks for the info. It looks more natural with the real cinema off with cinematic movement turned on. The real cinema speeds it up a little too much.

[@r3d3r27]

@@brianpetersen6128 me personally i love the trumotion smooth setting on

[@ViktorBiohazard]

I feel soap opera effect with cinematic movement on. I prefer setting De-Judder to 3 on user setting, still smooth but without soap effect.

[@markholmes1158]

Good video for beginners. Not sure if go with filmmaker mode, though... I'd also recommend setting Sharpness to zero and ensuring overscan is turned off (so you see the full picture... Which also means the pixels match one-to-one to give the sharpest picture)

[@erickreyes7902]

Filmakermode actually is the most natural out of the bunch... every thing has a blue tint into it... like every OLED out there... thats why samsung phones have blue light care on their phones...

[@jzpat]

@@erickreyes7902filmmaker mode is trash. So dark that even brightness enhancer doesn’t fix it. Cinema home is amazing with enhancer and even dynamic tone on. Then just change color temp to warm 50.

[@jzpat]

Yeah I am not a fan of filmmaker mode. It completely removes the pop from the images. Why pay all this money for such a dull image. Cinema mode allows the highlights to really pop

[@LordAngelus]

​@@jzpatepic copium. If you think unrealistically saturated and INCORRECT colors look good, and actual correct colors look "dull" - that's your problem.

Got mine last month great TV

[@Ravens_Hollow]

I have a 65in LG Evo and its insanely and easily one of the best tvs ive ever had

[@thetdchannel]

Good tutorial!

[@StillAProudAmerican-ll2yc]

Nice job. Well explained. I have my LG already set up like you said but was following along. To get out of the adjustments, you have to click back like six times. There should be an "Escape" button to clear out of settings. This is funny, I kept clicking back and it wouldn't clear. Then I realized the pic was YOUR TV. Hope no one saw that, lol.

[@antdros]

Press back for 2 seconds, it'll get you out of all settings.

Thank you! I figured out how to control my Zvox soundbars with the LG remote. I was looking everywhere.

I leave mine in standard with 100 nits brightness And turned off the eco and energy stuff lol N I’m happy

[@LeezahB]

Thanks, Chris! Helpful as always! I watched even though I don’t have an LG tv. I would think this would be helpful to all LG TV owners just to be shown what features are located generally where, even if they set it differently than your recommendations.

what day are they showing G5 in Las Vegas this month?

[@k9feces]

@@WinterMasterPocket they showed it today, it doesn’t use MLA and is brighter than the G4

[@jzpat]

They abandoned the MLA probably due to costs. I don’t think their claim in brightness is worth the thousands of dollars compared to the g4 model you can get. It’s eye searing bright

[@raver6063]

Thank you! very good video , I'd love to see if there is any extra settings we need to take into consideration for gaming

Nice, concise and useful video! I would love to see a video like this, about the same LG G4, but paired with an Apple TV, that would be very, very useful too.

Facts. Gaming and movies look phenomenal on the g4

It really is. I cannot stand filmmaker mode though. Cinema all the way. With brightness enhancer and dynamic on. All other resolution and sharpness stuff off. And color temp to warm 50. Perfect.

[@AllThingsInfamous1]

[@larrywhorley9440]

If you go to max in peak brightness, are you affecting the longevity of your TV?

[@cydoanik]

based on the comments i guess the average consumer will never use accurate settings and instead cry about them coz they're not the fake saturated bright image tv companies brainwashed them to like 🙄

Hi when i watch some HDR content on youtube its not showing up that im watching a 4K video ?

[@TPRErik]

I actually like turning off both motion and real cinema. I think the motion looks a little better/natural with both of them off.

[@IGOTGAMEAJ]

Great video, One question I have is should you turn on the 4:4:4 Pass Through Setting ? I use an Apple TV 4k box

[@Moskeeto]

I believe that setting is better for a PC rather than streaming devices.

[@steveyoungquist9199]

@@IGOTGAMEAJ I solved many issues by using 4 2 0. I finally have it all dialed in .

[@hababacon]

Ha, I adjusted standard to look just like Cinema. Unable to turn off all the auto motion crap so I matched cinema with standard. Filmaker mode is too dark, Vivid mode juices the image too much, but if you want bright highlights to the extreme? Set the color that of Cinema and you would get a decent picture.

[@curtisbme]

I find that Standard seems to usually give the most realistic looking colors (when something is a natural scene and not movie color graded where you don't know what they were going for) and most impactful HDR but it can overdo the HDR highlights sometimes. On a lot of content Filmmaker seems to give everything a brown hue and is often way too dim on a lot of content. High noon looks like dusk with the reduced brightness and more brown hue when compared to standard. Watching Queer Eye in Vegas makes it feel like you are looking through a window and you can feel the vegas heat in Standard but in filmmaker, again, makes everything more muted and dusk-ish. All frustrating to have all the settings options, especially as you can't even access them until you are playing the right type of content. Should just have two settings. A default "calibrated" mode and a custom mode (for someone who wants to tweak things for some reason) with very easy way to raise APL for bright room viewing. And Vivid is just stupid, even on the showroom floor that mode would look like crap.

[@robertt9342]

Standard has some of the worst colours though. It represents the windows XP background of life, something the is over saturated.

[@nshatish]

“Set the Auto Dynamic Contrast to ‘Low’ in Standard mode. It’ll be perfect!”

[@curtisbme]

@@robertt9342 Depends on the show. Some I find seem to be over done and I switch modes but others simply look realistic in colors (again, mostly the real-world content), not like they have had a whole scene color filter applied.

[@leonardopalmitesta8276]

Like FMM is most accurate image preset, what is the sound settings most accurate to use? Dolby Atmos better off with only internal speakers? Ai acoustic tuning also off? Thanks for help.

[@Karto86]

Doesn't matter with TV speakers, they will not be accurate in any mode.

[@jzpat]

Filmmaker mode is SO dark I can’t stand it. Defeats the purpose spending all this money if you dim all the highlights. Cinema mode is amazing with brightness enhancer and dynamic tone on. Temperature warm 50.

[@SENCORE_ISF]

Noting several of the comments below…… This is why I became a calibrator. Simply placing your television into Filmmaker Mode will dissatisfy many. There is not only a Science to Calibration, there is also an art. You don’t have to “Pick Your Poison” you can have both. You absolutely can achieve an “accurate” image without sacrificing that Boom 💥📺 & Sizzle, many of you wish to have.

[@we8463]

Where are you located and how much do you charge for calibration!

[@SENCORE_ISF]

@ Flat Panel Display: $450.00 Front Projection: $650.00 All applicable formats the display is capable are perfected. SDR, HDR10/10+, Dolby Vision I serve Seattle Washington and surrounding areas. Calibrated a Sony A95L yesterday. Such a beautiful television. The clients were over the moon, cannot say enough about this monitor. It is a joy to fine tune

@@TheMchewy that’s not entirely true. I had some serious issues with my G4 Lg using the same setup that works great on my C4. Also there are a different set of issues using the 3rd gen Apple on the G4 . But I solved the handshake issues between these two devices by setting chroma to 4 2 0. Setting the Apple to 4K HDR with frame rate and dynamic matching. Now it will switch back to SDR automatically. And play all Y tube content with no issues. Same setup on the C4 LG does not work. I have to set the Apple to 4K SDR with frame rate and dynamic matching . And it will switch content . So the two LG TVs kinda work opposite. Apple tech thanked me with a gift card for finding this all out. They are working on the issue with the 3rd gen Apple .

You need to calibrate TV in some deeper settings but as mentioned.. shops will have certain settings guidance to show everything extra sharp colour etc under their showroom lighting.

[@newhappiness4410]

Manufacturers have their TVs set to the bare minimum because they recommend these settings to make the TV last longer. For me what’s the point if you’re spending that much on a TV. For me it’s sharpness and clarity rather than outright brightness as brightness can affect screen burn

[@nshatish]

Filmmaker mode is the worst for regular KZbin watching. The best setup is Standard mode with Auto Dynamic Contrast set to Low. That’s all you need!

Thank you I just did it

Cinema is better with brightness enhancer on. Color temp to warm 50. And dynamic contrast to low but for better pop dynamic tone mapping on. Cinematic motion. And other clarity stuff off. Although for SDR content the resolution section under clarity may help being on

The TV has developed dark bands which are quite prominent when viewing dark scenes 4. The SW is extremely laggy and hangs quite often when doing simple things like switching HDMI ports 5.
