Important Update: Dolby Vision behaves differently depending on the source. Dolby recommends the OLED Light to be set at 50 for Dolby Vision content. On Apple TV 4k, if you raise your OLED Light above 50, the black levels can look a bit gray. On the LG built-in Netflix app, the OLED Light behaves differently and actually responds well to raising the OLED Light. There are quirky differences between Dolby Vision sources that will hopefully get worked out soon. Apologies for not covering this in the video. This was brought up by Dustin Carpenter -- the gentleman who left us a respectable comment below.

Thanks for the great review and update Modernwize. Just to add some additional information to your update, the phenomenon you’ve seen with Apple TV and DolbyVision actually effects all external DolbyVision sources. It seems Dolby has identified a bug that can erroneous change black levels in DV sources streamed externally (HDMI and USB) to a display. The good news is that they have identified the problem and developed a software fix. They also stated the solution only needs to be applied to the display’s DV software. The bad news (possibly) is that while Dolby confirmed that they have supplied the fix to TV manufacturers, each TV manufacturer will have to upload it to their own sets as firmware updates. This could cause some sets to receive the fix later than others. Stay tuned!

Listening to professional calibrators at AVSForums, you should keep the default settings for OLED light, brightness and contrast when in Dolby Vision mode. Dynamic contrast should be switched off, since the purpose of that setting is to simulate what Dolby Vision does. The only thing to adjust is the RGB balance.
@modernwize6 жыл бұрын
Isak Öhrlund We have calibrated for the recommended settings and found it to work well if your room only emits 30 Lux of ambient light. Doesn’t work so great for 100-300 lux ambient room environment. We have knowingly, and publicly deviated from recommended settings at every corner, as we have our tvs in normal living rooms with windows, not dark room home theater batcaves. Dolby’s implementation has proven us wrong several times and I’m sure we are outsiders with our preference here, but we have tried most configurations (good and bad). We always encourage others to share their settings and experience. Its all about what you like. Definitely appreciate your input.

Highlights: anything above 80 destroys bright details like clouds for example, which display a gradient of different colors that would be washed out and destroyed as a result of blowing up the white level. Brightness 50-65 is reasonable, anything higher or lower will impact shadow clarity Sharpness: 10 on average (depending on content, but there's no need if what you're watching is HD of higher as you'll be destroying detail to compensate for what you think is "blury" Dynamic contrast: low or avoid! Same issue with highlights and shadow detail. It can destroy clarity and accuracy Color gamut :auto or wide depending on the content you're watching (Extend is also applicable) Color 80-90 (perhaps 60-70 depending on content) increasing this works similarly to contrast; too high and you get bloom and bleeding of colors causing a gradient to seem like a solid, uniform color. Edge enhance: avoid like the plague as you get a halo effect like increasing sharpness would. Gamma: 2.2 or BT.1886 TruMotion: user and dejuddee set to 10 only and nothing else.

OLED light behaves differently for Dolby Vision than HDR10. OLEad light raises the average picture level. Dolby recommends OLED light to be set to 50. For the built-in LG Netflix app, Dolby Vision OLED light at 50 is too dark in our opinion so we broke away from the Dolby recommendation and moved the OLED light up to 100. Apple TV 4k behaves quite differently than the LG Netflix app; moving the OLED light above 50 made the black levels appear gray, so we have it set to 50 on our Apple TV 4k.

The OLED light setting in DV picture modes is different than SDR and HDR picture modes. In DV picture modes, this setting should be at 50 because it controls the scene APL.
@modernwize6 жыл бұрын
Good catch. I was attempting to mix general OLED principles into this video with Dolby Vision settings so people wouldn't have to watch multiple videos. I totally forgot to mention the APL factor. The recommendation is in fact, still the same. We prefer OLED Light at 100 even though it doesn't make too much difference above 50. Your comment is greatly appreciated....kind of.
@ahoyskid6 жыл бұрын
setting the OLED Light to 100 is fine, but only for HDR content. Because its dynamic, it only hits 100 in areas that are super duper bright.. e.g a candle in a dark room... the sun... or headlights pointing at the camera. You are basically setting the maximum threshold. NOT overall OLED light.

Craig Murray we have deviated from the recommended Oled light settings as we just prefer it a bit higher. It doesn’t make too much of an impact, but the highlights are more pronounced. We photographed the screen at every oled light level, and upon examining our 8k still images of every oled light level. At level 50, the highlights were a bit darker, and some shadow detail was missing. By moving the oled light above 50, some missing shadow detail was retrieved and the highlights were more pronounced. The gamma curve that DV is applying isn’t always to our liking. We appreciate any feedback or tips. Always seeking to improve PQ.
@dcarpenter856 жыл бұрын
In the Dolby Vision Cinema picture mode, raising OLED light above 50 does not increase luminosity, it affects the gamma curve. This has a similar effect (increases overall brightness), but you are altering the gamma in a way that is unnatural and losing picture detail in highlights. OLED light at 50 in DV is identical to OLED light at 100 in HDR picture modes.

Love your channel brother. Can I get your opinion. I just bought the c7 65inch. I love it for the most part. The two things I think could be better are motion and upscaling. The Sony a1e is only $500 more now. Do you think the upscaling is noticeable on the Sony? I watch a lot of xfinity cable. Main reason for the tv. Game a few hours a day, rest is streaming & a small percent sports. Would you switch it for the Sony? Thanks you so much
@modernwize6 жыл бұрын
Hey Ted, thanks for the message. Me personally, I would not switch for the Sony, even if it was cheaper by $500. Upscaling is about the same. Gaming input lag is worse on Sony tvs in general, and the interface and remote is painful to use compared to other tvs. Xfinity is 720p, and will look a little rough on any 4k tv. C7 is a great tv.

We never see banding during normal content. We've only seen it on the XBOX One X settings menu, and once when watching ESPN, they randomly used a dark grey motion graphic for a transition. Not a big deal. It never reveals itself. From what you are describing, it sounds like we have similar panels, and I think what we have is far better than dealing with blooming, light bleed, halos and poor viewing angles 100% of the time on an LED TV. But then again, Joey went bald thinking about burn in. Just kidding :D

The UHD Premium spec states a TV only has to accept a 10bit signal, not necessarily have a 10bit panel. Right now TVs aren't quite utilising 8bit colours with HDR, let alone 10 bit or 12 bit. Its not important at the moment and likely will never be with HDR. Do not worry about bit depth...certainly not even 10bit or not until TVs start to surpass 8 bit panels with colour tests. Perhaps tv's will start to see an advantage in using 10bit panels when they start to score around 90% rec2020 coverage scores.

Dolby vision uses 10 bit and is shot with 12 bit but depending on TV it's it being viewed on it adjust accordingly to the limits of the TV on a frame by frame basis vs hdr10 being static another words it does not change from the beginning to end.
