[@olevet75]

This is hands down best settings guide for C6P, dark picture settings just looks marvelous, I keep coming back here if I had to factoty reset it. Thanks a lot!👍👌

[@arguelles7]

I put the same settings on my LG uf7700 for "Dark Room mode" and now it looks much better, especially blacks. Perfect for watching Netflix series and movies I usually watch. Thank you!

[@Mr.Balzac]

thank you ! this was very helpful now i can finally adjusts my tv!!

[@kevindavies5332]

Hi I am looking at getting the 65 inch version, will you do a review on that at some stage as I believe Lg are going to bring out a firmware upgrade to sort out the problems with HDR10. Great review as always.

[@jackyridley9589]

Hi in your video you mentioned to leave true motion off Twice what would you recommend for watching football

[@jesusrodriguez5970]

how can I change the hz? 24hz to 50hz? Can you do best settings for gaming?

[@tjCooper88]

hmm, I have this set, what do we put the local dimming on? and for some reason I only have HDR standard when watching any HDR content on Amazon prime.

[@JSWISTN]

Do you have a setting for your LG 4k uhd nanocell tv

[@deepcleancarpetupholsteryc9292]

Whats the low down on the colour banding issue.. stepping on 8bit to 10bit processing issues.. its really a let down for me on this tv :(

[@RudyFalco]

I am using all the same settings for 3D except for the OLED light setting. Would you recommend setting it at 100? Or lower?

[@WatchMaiiVidz]

Would these settings also work well on the C7?

[@NickthaGeek]

also if on normal settings you select 80 for contrast to reduce clipping yet crank it to 100 for hdr??? is that right? how does it not clip on hdr???

[@ZChronicNebula]

I cant access White Balance setting any answer? Thanks!!

[@THELANKANCOMRADE]

How would you go from this to gaming ?

[@yaboyzay]

How are you moving the cursoras if your using a mouse?? See I have a universal remote that pulls up the same menus but can't access the setting like you are. I try using the arrows but it doesn't work? I'm trying to stop my TV from showing this HDR video that keeps poping up I can't stop it from interrupting my games and such

[@carlosrios7088]

what about for the HDR modes and WIndows creator update HDR pc's?

[@thesasway374]

should i stick to default settings?Cause it looks just fine.Plz reply

[@coreysolomon2818]

how do i get to white balance it's not highlighted

[@Enquiringmind777]

It's all very well showing the settings, but it would be useful if you explained what the setting mean, what they do, and how they affect the picture. I'm afraid we have too many of these type of clips that assume you are immediately tech wise.

[@Mr.77776]

How come there's lag on KZbin? Should I switch my settings?

[@illogical8365]

Hello,on "Expert dark room " i'cant access "white ballance"..is there but i can't do nothing....:/

[@billyserretiello1139]

Could you please do the calibration on 55B6.

[@LooneytechBoy]

Why the super resolution is off ? I turned it on and it gave me stuuning details

[@Daggerborn]

Most of your settings were great. However, I felt like the blacks were crushed when leaving brightness at 50. I needed a setting of 54 to get things looking a little more even. This applied to all picture settings. I also feel like Warm 2 is a little too on the yellow-ish side, so I use Warm 1. Thank you for the other settings though. Beautiful picture!

[@chriswalker3257]

Thanks for this comment :) ive been using the HDR standard mode for a couple months now and just wasnt quite happy with it. Changed the settings you mentioned and i find its much better now. Particularly using warm 1 rather than 2.

[@olevet75]

It's all about personal preference, I find warm 1 a bit cold and blueish.

[@mojo3898]

Brightness of 50 is definitely too dark. It will loose shadow detail. 53 is the one to go with. 54 blacks begin to go grey so 53 is the last level of true black. And those clicks from 50 to 53 make a huge difference.

[@brian7624]

every time i change it goes back to vidvid help?

[@adiracarmona1567]

Can u make a video on how I can make my screen bigger? Plzz

[@johnlira3316]

Local dimming setting for isf dark mode?

[@ofwz]

How do you get Trumotion opinion

[@susmajaiswal6803]

Can I have this setting in lg 43 inch

[@lamiaislam1905]

My white balance is not coming what should I do

[@scorpionscorpion1898]

I have 32 inch I have to leave it in eco or standard model or else I currently have eco

[@mixalisss84]

can u upload settings for gaming xbox one/ps4 thanks

[@TheRafcave]

HDR Game settings please.

[@deadhead8323]

I keep my trumotion on for my film based content. I have yet to have any stuttering with it. Maybe to the trained eyes can see the issue but I don't hate it and very much enjoy it. Why have an option on a tv that if you all want off anyways? May as well remove it entirely if it was that bad.

[@Xander054]

Hi thanks for the video, you mentioned turning of true motion for film content and normally I would do this but I get terrible judder with this tv on 24p and I don't like having motion setting on because it doesn't look right. Did you not experience this?

[@avforums]

Everyone perceives motion differently and 24p will inherently have some judder due to the frame rate it is filmed at but I didn't find it an issue on the C6 I reviewed.

[@themcgeachys]

My TV does not have some of the settings you are recommending

[@Crzyvids13]

Quick question has to come my attention for the HDR affect my TV doesn't have the standard option. Mine gives you a option of HDR (low), (medium), (high). Also can these settings apply for the 65" c6? Or is this strictly for the 55"? Thank you

[@avforums]

HDR Standard only applies when the TV is receiving an actual HDR signal (from Ultra HD Blu-ray, Amazon, Netflix, KZbin), the HDR Effect mode is a fake version of HDR that the TV applies to normal standard dynamic range content, hence the different choices.

[@aupopeso]

TOO_SiCK_1

[@jackfarias7510]

AVForums lg 65 c6

[@solosoldier4569]

Thank you

[@davidbirch4641]

I used your settings for 'Bright Room' but I couldn't do 0 on sharpness, it was just too blurry, I've set both H&V to 25. I use my settings on 'Standard' when I want a dose of overblown colours and brightness. Pain having to repeat the procedure for other inputs, can a calibration be uploaded via a PC or App?

[@ConstitutionalCrank708]

You can apply to all inputs, as an option I believe.

[@jasonseddon315]

Hi I own the LG WebO/S OLED65c6v Curved 3D will these settings apply to my T.v

[@olevet75]

Of course

[@hababacon]

Nice! I applied your bright room settings to Cinema but with dynamic contrast set to medium for an overall pretty damn good picture.

[@m2to653]

Can I use these Settings on my LG 55EF9509?

[@avforums]

You can copy the general settings but avoid anything too detailed.

[@Jamar.Evangelist]

thank u now can run 2k without heavy light

[@NickthaGeek]

yet to try these settings but is oled light 100 not too much for hdr content?? would have to wear sun glasses to watch the tv!

[@avforums]

You need the OLED light set to 100 so the TV can deliver the bright highlights but in HDR the overall brightness won't seem excessive. It isn't the same as setting the OLED Light to 100 with SDR content.

[@NickthaGeek]

Oh ok thanks

[@aaronjohnson2999]

Anything you would recommend for game settings? Should I copy the color settings?

[@jesusrodriguez5970]

Can you help us out with the settings for gaming? We would really appreciate it.

[@cypriaansacre]

Would also like to see game settings for PS4.

[@Man_eee]

"To have the best picture quality while gaming with this TV, simply change the picture mode to 'Game Mode' and change the input icon to 'Game Console' as this will lower the input lag." I followed that, didn't change anything else and my ps4 looked awesome with no motion blur, no complaints.

[@coolcras7]

how go you change the input icon to game console ? I know what you mean changing the picture to game mode but the other I am not familiar with.

[@jacktheman2360]

oHANDSOMEo yh butnisnt game mode really dull

[@joshuacollins1177]

Av Forums, have you guys had any audio flickering or cut outs while the HDMI Ultra deep color is on? Turned it on and everything worked fine.What might be causing this? Any advice would help! Thanks

[@joshuacollins1177]

Turned it off*

[@wlewis1904]

My audio went out when I turned the HDMI Deep Color setting on. I believe it was my HDMI cable. I changed to higher end cable and now the audio works again.

[@avforums]

Check your HDMI cables.

[@joshuacollins1177]

it was because my sound bar not being hdcp 2.2 compatible is what I've narrowed it down to?

[@AdarshSahni]

How did you arrive at these settings? Is this subjective adjustment or objective calibration? Also, do these apply to all TVs ir can vary from panel to panel?

[@avforums]

We use a klein K10a meter, CalMAN 5 software and a Murideo 6G pattern generator. All our reviewers are THX and ISF certified with years of hands-on calibration training and experience. These settings are for this TV in our environment and published for information only. They might work to improve the image on your TV, but are just as likely to make things look worse. We suggest that you follow our Picture Perfect guide www.avforums.com/PicturePerfect/

[@MICHGO1]

MY THOUGHT TOO.

[@gerrardtorresbabel]

Apparently when playing HDR content the colour gamut should be Normal not wide as suggested as for some reason normal tracks correctly. Is this true?

[@avforums]

LG recommend using Normal because that mode is designed to track the incoming signal, although we didn't know that when the video was originally made.

[@gerrardtorresbabel]

+AVForums thank you.

[@metroidmen]

Do we want that set to normal only when watching a HDR 4K bluray? Or for everything? I use my TV for gaming as well as for my PC. Should we have it set for Wide or normal with standard non HDR movie usage?

[@CosmicNutcase]

Hay steve! would these settings be the same for 3D playback?

[@avforums]

No but the general setting are similar and then adjust the OLED Light higher so that you can compensate for the dimming effect of the glasses.

[@CosmicNutcase]

+AVForums Thanks Steve!

[@davy_williams]

Any chance the Dolby vision setting would need to much different than the HDR settings in this video?

[@avforums]

There aren't that many Dolby Vision settings that you can actually change, so using the HDR settings as a guide would work just as well.

[@davy_williams]

AVForums cheers for that. the reason I was wondering is because when watching dolbyvision content on Netflix the picture looks grainy at time. I expected that on breaking bad due to the use of film but not new content such as Santa Clarita Diet. I take it the picture is meant to be grainy?

[@cleckie]

david williams I know this is an old message but it’s a fault of the source material. Netflix has added a lot of noise to their Dolby Vision titles.

[@P1A9D8D3Y]

best game mode setting would be great

[@Tomiply]

You use the same settings as this video. It's for accurate colours, after all.

[@Viforlife592]

Should i break this tv in before calibrating?Thanks

[@drej1015]

last_of_us_ $2,000 TV don't break it

[@RaulRodriguez-zh3lu]

DREJ 101 I think he is talking about to burn in the screen

[@moshe219]

If you're calibrating it, I've heard that 100 hours is a good time to do it. If you're following these settings, just do it.

[@NickthaGeek]

tried these settings. On the bright expert setting i cant say i liked the look at all. Took all the life out of the picture and made it look flat. Im not aiming for over saturated colours.... but gosh... looked bad. will try the others and see if they look better.

[@neil9658]

I agree. Have you found settings that you like yet?

[@NickthaGeek]

I have it looking better... when i get a minute i will put mine up

[@NickthaGeek]

Neil Joseph right..... on expert bright i copied these settings... but adjusted oled light to 65 brightness 53 colour to 58 colour gamut wide colour temp warm 1 on expert dark went with same settings as this video then adjusted oled light 45 colour 58 colour gamut wide colour temp warm 1 found this game a lot more pop without over saturating the picture. I know its personal preference as everyones eye are different. overall i am blown away with this tv. I had the lg 950v before this. Thought it was great until i experienced this set. Another level all together and honest dont know how tv can improve over this set. Its faultless. Just watched SUNSHINE on blu ray on this. With loads of contrast between the sun and the darkness of space is a great stress test that 99% of tv's would fail.... this tv basked in the film. Absolutely stunning. Truly breathtaking. The pinnacle of picture quality. hope these settings help

[@neil9658]

I'm gonna have to try those settings!

[@NickthaGeek]

Let me know how you get on with them

[@shihabn.k163]

Selected standard mode. But automatically go to vived mode

[@BigMac5]

I found these setting work better on my B6 than the official video recommended.

[@cypriaansacre]

Great video, but when I go to an app like netflix, my settings change immediately, even i'm still in the same picture mode. Any one else has this issue and a way to solve it? Thanks

[@Man_eee]

I had setup all the settings for my cable box but just got on Netflix now & it change everything including the picture mode to Standard, so I just did all the settings over again and it's looking very nice but I'm curious to know for playing HDR 4K content on Netflix if I have to follow the HDR settings from this video?

[@cypriaansacre]

oHANDSOMEo Yea, but you have to change the settings for HDR and Dolby. What you see on KZbin isn't always the best.

[@Man_eee]

Alright good to know man, I just set the settings for Dolby following these HDR settings. Watching Daredevil right now it looks great! I'm not sure if I set everything for the best picture possible but this will do for me.. let me know how it goes for you & if you changed anything different from these settings

[@cypriaansacre]

I changed all the settings yesterday for the dark room mode and dolby. But then I noticed that I had to change everything for every different input over and over again (HDMI, Smart menu, TV) and I couldn't find any content that would activate the HDR mode so I could change those settings as in the video. Now I've reseted everything, just because things became to complicated and in my opinion the Dolby looked better standard settings. Also wanted to tweak the game mode for my PS4, but I have no idea what works best. So I think I will leave everything as it was and just use dark room mode for movies and game mode for PS4. In the end it's for everyone different. We all have different eyes and the TV's are placed in different rooms.

[@Man_eee]

Okay I see & yes I agree with you on that last part. I follow the experts calibration settings but also tweak a couple of settings witch I like best. It can get confusing but just continue tweaking until I see what I like & until fully satisfied. For my PS4 I first made sure to turn on "HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color" under General settings & then set it to Game Mode & changed the input icon to 'Game Console' that seemed to do the trick for my eyes.

[@Pyri80]

Great!

[@keithmccann9535]

What do you suggest for 3D I'm getting some crosstalk?

[@avforums]

You shouldn't be getting any crosstalk with a passive 3D TV.

[@willd4630]

AVForums expert controls and picture options are greyed out and I cant click on them help please,great vid good job

[@infinite_dynamics]

its more to do with viewing angle, i have this tv, i noticed at times its perfect but when i sit close while gaming i get cross talk. unfortunately the best advice is to sit further back or adjust the height of either the tv or your seating position

[@buckrodgers9789]

AVForums that's weird because when I sit about three feet from the screen it gets pretty blurry. Stupid question but the tape on the clear base holding the tv can't cause the problem? I'm coming from the amazing panny vt 30 that was active 3D and I know the signal could interrupted if something was obstructing it.

[@hababacon]

There's Crosstalk, but like others alluded to, it's angle and distance dependent. Sitting dead center at about three meters no cross talk, anything closer or off to the sides crosstalk slowly creeps in. I only tested one movie last night, last year's Ghostbuster which sucks, but the 3D was every bit as good as Pacific Rim's 3D.

[@jackfarias7510]

how about the 65-inch I cannot find it anywhere

[@moshe219]

Why would settings be different for the 65" TV?

[@d0x360]

Settings are the same regardless of size

[@paulboomer4794]

How did you get to HDR???

[@BenThompson25]

jim leiss when its displaying a HDR mode the picture mode changes to HDR picture modes.

[@coolcras7]

the TV auto recognizes if you are viewing HDR content and switches on( go to Menu- General-HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color and turn on all HDMI ports that will be receiving an HDI signal. The TV also has the ability to simulate HDR in the picture options but it is not true HDR, if you have Netflix you can do a search for HDR and it will show you which shows are available, because Netflix has both support HDR10 and Dolby Vision it tends to select Dolby over HDR 10 because it is the superior format, I would not use these setting for Dolby only HDR10, I was able to find one 11 minute clip on Netflix that is HDR10 it is Meridian using these setting it looks amazing.

[@masquerades9956]

MY TV LEGIT SAYS WHITE BALANCE BUT IT WONT LET ME CLICK ON IT ITS GREYED OUT FOR SOME FKING REASON

[@TheRealSkywalker11]

I just got this tv, and honestly movies are not good. The picture looks awesome, but all movies I have tried are for a lack of better words, glitchy. On my 4k movies fast moving objects are occasionally blurry and choppy, and it is the same with standard blu rays. Anyone else have this? And will I likely need to pay a professional to do it?

[@mitchellsx]

Hi I have had this Tv for about a week now and im not experiencing any issue like you are. Im find the motion very good. Ive just come from a Samsung KS series TV to this. Maybe adjusting Dejud and blur effect may help.I have found this to be the best TV I have owned.

[@TheRealSkywalker11]

Think it has anything to do with me using an Xbox One S for movies?

[@mitchellsx]

Possibly ive heard the xbox one s ( which I have) is a very poor UHD player. I've not tried it myself but seen it mentioned on forums.

[@TheRealSkywalker11]

After researching, I turned off Noise Reduction, MPEG Noise Reduction, and TruMotion and now it's perfect!

[@Xander054]

TheRealSkywalker11 did you turn on real cinema? I occasionally get this happening with movies and some HDR tv shows on Netflix. If there is a bright background and a dark object moving from across the screen I get blurring

[@medakrishna3087]

Dts....
