[@Tomas-js4wt]

In the future, it would be great to have you make the C1 and G1 the best settings for these TVs so that the average user can enjoy the picture accuracy a little more.

[@C--A]

Tomas it's not rocket science for the average consumer if they just bother to do some simple research. Turn off all the artificial processing like digital noise reduction, edge enhancement etc. And use the Filmmaker picture mode to get a accurate picture when watching blu ray, 4K blu ray, movies on Amazon Prime, Disney+, Netflix. But if your spending £3000 or more on a flagship television like the LG G1, Sony A90J, Panasonic JZ2000. Then a extra £150 to get the television properly calibrated is definitely worthwhile.

[@Tomas-js4wt]

@@C--A In my country finding a TV calibrator is a mission impossible.

[@andreaswright]

Peak brightness, PQ, console/pc gaming comparisons to CX and A90J. Your opinion on purchase vs A90J or CX/1

[@davidmatthew802]

I have played with every setting over and over again on my G1. My HDR10 and Dolby Vision content always seemed weird to me. I could never see the big deal with HDR. I then turned the color upgrade to high and now I am loving what I see. It is more balanced, much better clarity and depth. I do not see over saturation or any weird color anomalies. I am very happy with this TV after adjusting the the color upgrade. Cinema Home. DV IQ on. Brightness high. All motion settings off. Warm 50. Color fine tune upgrade high. HDR10 settings the same as DV except for light sensor off and tone mapping off. Works for me.

[@ledooni]

[@StevenNguyenJason]

Hey @HDTVTest, should I get the 65" Samsung QN90A or wait till QD-OLED comes out? I want a new TV for PS5 gaming at 4K120 with VRR but with my current use case, I am scared of burn in as I tend to play a lot of games with static HUDs for long periods of time (pretty much all day) and I tend to fall asleep while playing them and wake up the next afternoon with the game on and repeat the cycle. It brings me joy in life. I am tempted by the infinite contrast by QD-OLED and I hear that it will get brighter than current OLEDs while having reduced burn in risk. I don't know how much of that is true so I wanted to ask you. Do you think it will be able to reach the brightness levels of current QLEDs (like around 1800-2000 nits peak brightness)? Will the panel take a lot longer (like a few more years) before burn in is noticable? Cost is another factor. If the QD-OLEDs will be released at 5 figures, then I would much rather get the QN90A now but if it will be released below $3500 for 65" then I may consider it. Any info or advice you can provide would be helpful for me to make an informed decision. Thanks Vincent!

[@benlloyd6674]

Thanks for the vids Vincent, I really enjoy learning about picture settings etc… but I think I am miles behind because I recently bought the 65” C1 and moved my 55” B8 into my bedroom and I have to say that I am disappointed up to now because the picture quality on my B8 is outstanding and can’t even replicate it on my C1 never mind improving it, which is so frustrating cause I feel like I have wasted £1600? I have tried calibration settings from 3 different sources and none of them are very good! Any advice please?

No, the VRR gamma shift/flickering is still an issue on these panels.

[@GreeKurdChannelMilan]

Now when I select Filmaker mode the OLED pixel brightness isn’t at 25, it’s higher, and I believe it’s because of software updates? So I don’t know if I should reduce it to 25 or keep it at its default which is 85 I think.

It can be harmful on an OLED panel if you are an avid user, and leave it on a static screen for an extended period of time. So if you are a sports/news channel fan, it is something you must be careful of, but, there are settings to reduce risk of burn-in excluding the “Eco” preset.
