I picked this up to use with my PS5. Currently using it with my first gen Xbox One (which doens't support 1440 or higher frames). I have been playing on HDR mode, very impressed with how it looks seeing its not 100% supported due to the console age. Excited to see what it will look like with the PS5.

[@BainCustom]

Yeah I'm onboard with this as a console HDR monitor. I actually want to give it a test to see what refresh rate the consoles will cap out at with an hdmi 2.0 monitor.

Did u ever get ur ps5? Also i have a question. Every time u go into an app does it give you a black screen?

[@chiefnakoma]

Thanks for the video. I do disagree about this monitor for next gen consoles. This monitor accepts a 4K signal and outputs 1440p at 60 Hz for Ps5, but also allows for supported games like Cold War to run 1080p at 120Hz. The version without usb goes for $350 on amazon. Future HDMI 2.1 monitors that can run 4K at 120 Hz will likely cost around $1000. I feel it provides good value and flexibility for next gen consoles.

[@BainCustom]

Absolutely! I do appreciate the input, and I agree with you after some time has passed. Initially I thought there would be some better options coming down the pipeline. But honestly I don't see much at a reasonable price for next gen consoles. Maybe in a year.

[@Klasus357]

Nice video! I started to do more calibration after i started to use the LG GN850 since it has nanoIPS and different colours options for it, this tutorials def will help me more and it kinda makes sense to start with contrast on an IPS panel, if my guess is right.

[@BainCustom]

That's just how I was taught from a co-worker that does ISF calibrations of TV's and also works on monitors. He gave me some good insight, but I will be buying an actual device to do full calibrations and I'll offer those specs on new reviews

[@Klasus357]

@@BainCustom That's rly cool, will check other videos for more accurate colours calibration! Do you know if there is big difference of colours and black between the GP850 and GN850? some youtube video reviewed that the GP has better blacks and more realistic shadows in a picture, wonder if thats true or was just different monitor calibration.

i just got this monitor and i was wondering what you think about the game mode HDR effect? i turned off HDR from windows since everything seem washed out but the game mode HDR effect make every color pop up more and black seem more black. i did tried the sRBG and some gamer 1 with tuning but i always find the HDR effect to make everything more clear and sharp. it feel a bit to much sometime(had to lower the brightness to make it bareable) but color look better imo.

I need some help....im confused as to how to change the settings on the monitor itself.

When i access the settings most of them are blacked out and i can't adjust. HELP ME PLEASE!!

[@BainCustom]

I am going to bet that you are using a console and the console is outputting in HDR and the settings are locked down because HDR is not that great for most monitors. Turn off HDR on your monitor and problem will be solved.

[@RickyKehoe]

I got this monitor but I got the screen repaired because it has a dead pixel. I feel like when I'm up close to the monitor I can see the pixels. Like when I press the power button. I menu is pretty pixelated. Do you think I'm just losing my mind?

[@BainCustom]

I guess it would be hard to tell if I'm not actually looking at it. Seeing the pixels is not usually a good thing, but if you are up close you can see pixels on any display. If it's really that bad it might be a concern.

This is definitely not a normal result for this monitor. Check your GPU and connections to be sure they are not damaged or loose. But if you keep experiencing the issue, swap the monitor out. It shouldn't be giving you this type of artifacting.

[@naththoau]

When I bought LG 32GP850 it was nearly perfect out of box but gamma was slightly incorrect which was a bit low which mean gamma shift toward more lighter side. So the i1 Display Pro correct it to 2.2 instead of below 2.2 to restore gamma to where it should have been and the black got better. I know it has IPS glow which is annoying but I get used to it. I set brightness to 29 to match with 160cd/m2 and it looks better than at default of nearly 400 cd/m2 which is too high for my eyes and is not comfortable like glaring that makes me wear sunny. lol! Although I am not too happy with black stabilizer in gaming, not as good as Samsung for eg especially dark game like Minecraft. When I tune to 60 in black stabiliser, it looks more like hazy. So it puzzled me.

Bro i have a problem, i have this monitor and a xbox series x but when i turn on 120hz and 1440p i get this shadowy look and I don’t know how to resolve.

[@BainCustom]

I have had the same issue. It is mainly because the xbox does not use the same color parameters for 1440p as 4K and 1080p. Sometimes changing the color settings from RGB to PC in the xbox video settings will help. But ultimately, it depends on the game and how well a monitor can be calibrated.

[@ryans413]

That’s true about overdoing the settings same thing applies to TV sets. Just because the setting slider can go to max doesn’t mean it’s right for your viewing. Gotta factor in lighting if you game in an area that always bright and sunny you want to turn those settings up so your screen is bright or else it’ll be washed out. If you game in your mothers basement where it’s mostly dim and dark turn down the settings your eyes will actually thank you but the screen will be bright enough already. Colour is big a natural image that looks good should be slightly washed out so dial back the colour until it’s looking washed out and then boost it up a couple notches me personally like little pop. But too much is unrealistic. Sharpness good god do not turn it up it ruins the image so much brightness and contrast a good one for brightness is turn off all the advanced settings and find an image completely black now it’s good to do this in a dark room with no other lights on. Turn up the brightness until the black image starts too look grey and washed out then dial it back just until the image goes back to being black. The trick is you don’t wanna turn it down too much or you’ll have a dark image brights will not be bright and dark scenes will be too hard to see. Contrast is the opposite but find an image with clouds in the sky against a white background. Trick here is to still see those white cloud against the white background if the clouds disappear into the white background dial it back until it just pops back into view. All the other features just enhance the image in different ways but the main ones I touched on are the most important works for TV sets and monitors

I have an LG monitor and it has an option that says “super resolution+” do you suggest to have it on high or medium?

I would keep it off if the sharpness looks good without it on. It is their pseudo anti-aliasing technology. But I have found it can actually cause its own level of artifacting or over-sharpening. Low to medium is what I would recommend.

Looks like you go the holy grail in the lg panel lottery. I’m on my second lg 34gn850 already and waiting on my third now... first one had 2 stuck pixels and “you would love this” has the most warmest tint I have ever seen on a monitor. It’s absolute trash imo. I like it cool and I love hdr “even if it’s only 400 certified” on my aorus f127q and I being lg thinks they know best won’t allow you to adjust the colors while hdr is enabled I’m stuck with a super yellow tint screen. I tried the windows calibrator and it still has that ugly tint lingering over the icc profile... srgb mode I can get rid of it but with hdr being on lg won’t allow you to adjust anything besides brightness and sharpness with a premium $1,000 monitor the monitor is no good to me... My old Asus and benq tn panels look better by a mile. Such a huge let down.

[@BainCustom]

Thats a real bummer to hear! I feel I probably did get the holy grail lottery ticket here. It was before I saw the monitor really take off in popularity, so I imagine it was right before they were getting pumped out! Hopefully you can get it swapped out or replaced with something better.

Soon to be the new OLED from LG. But for what's readily available and generally a consumer style monitor...take your pick of the higher end of LG, Acer, Asus, Samsung, Viewsonic and so on. They all generally use the same tech and some even use the same panel. My money would be on LG's ultragear, Samsung's Odyssey and the Predator lineup. But going into prosumer monitors you can definitely find something with higher contrast.

And how did you change the fonts on the interface? I use a Mac for work.

Hey thanks for the comment. As far as the font goes...I am not sure why mine would be different, it could be a different firmware or something. I typically start on the Gamer 1 custom preset.

Thank you! We (fiancee and I) picked up both the Xbox Series X and PS5 *physical. We're using our Series 8 Samsung UHD's until they need to be replaced (we have two 55 inch curved displays). They're excellent displays that I picked up for the Xbox One X and PSPRO for back in early 2019. Now, I have a question...what about those of us that play everything? We (fiancee and I) love just about every genre you can think of across all platforms. I even like playing retro games on these screens (sometimes, we have two CRT's as well) as they support almost every legacy type connector you can think of. These damn screens can take RF, AV, Component, Composite, Full RGB Support, and HDMI NTSC (I haven't tried anything with a PAL signal). What's crazy is they display older games without stretching them out and it makes colors on consoles like the Neo Geo AES pop like a fireworks display. Addendum- This video was both interesting and very helpful. Upvoted, subbed, and I'm currently sharing with my friends. Many of them had the opportunity to pick up at least one of the new consoles as well. We all got the opportunity to wait in physical lines during the preorder phase and pick them up directly from the store (several different GameStop's). We actually started out as one big group and broke up as most GameStops in our area only had 8 to 12 machines per preorder phase per store. Many of my friends that bought one (or both) work with me. So on November 10th and the 12th we all took shifts going on break to pick up our consoles.

[@BainCustom]

Hey you rock! Thanks you so much for subscribing and spreading the channel. That means a lot and is much appreciate over here! As far as the question...first off you have a collection! CRT TV's and Series 8's (from the good years) and waiting in line for consoles! Hard core man. But the only thing I can imagine that would simplify that for you might be an AVR. Adding that in so you can get all of your legacy consoles and media into a new TV would be good. It will convert the signal for sure, but would simplify the operation. I checked and Denon offers composite conversion on some of their higher end stuff, it's not cheap. But it would work. The challenge will be is they currently support full HDMI 2.1 for the new consoles. I am not sure if that was fixed yet.

I m facing flickering on my new lg 27gl850 1440p 144hz at 10 bpc only and fine working at 8 bpc can you check on your one I m using rtx 2080

[@BainCustom]

Are you using hdmi or dp? I know that's a dumb questions, but I have to ask. I am sure you have tried a lot of calibrating, but making sure the pixel response and frame rate are set to match the GPU & Monitor is important. is Gsync on or off? My concern would be that if this is a 10-bit with dithering panel, while active using HDR you could see a flicker if the frames start to drop. It may not be noticeable at higher frames. This can be reasonably fixed with a proper tune to the gpu and monitor (different for each setup). Just to note, be sure HDR is on in windows, no background apps are up while gaming and all drivers are up to date. Don't use the HDR preset on the monitor, it's not HDR.

I will definitely test this out tonight, I didn't notice any flicker initially, but I will look further since you are experiencing issues.

Im on a LG Ultragear 34GN850-B. During the brightness calibration. No matter how dark I go I cannot get that X to actually disappear. I can achieve the "recommended look", but im wondering if not being able to go that dark is a greater underlying issue. Im okay if the monitor just cannot produce good blacks. But if there is a setting I can change somewhere id love to know. Ive tried with both HDR off and on in windows settings.

[@BainCustom]

Interesting. Have you turned the contrast ratio down to achieve this? I believe there is also a black level setting, I can't recall what the name is of that setting at the moment. I vaguely remember being able to get the x to disappear. Also what graphics card are you using?

@@BainCustom 1080gtx. Ive been all through the settings and while I did play with the contrast I don't recall seeing "contrast ratio".

But it is disabled with HDR on sadly.

[@BainCustom]

Sorry about that. It's definitely not called contrast ratio, that is my mess up. So I'm guessing HDR is just too bright to really bring down the lighting to get a good black level. Is it pretty bad or still halfway decent?

[@BainCustom]

It kind of makes sense though, because HDR does require a certain brightness level.

In theory if the adapter is of hdmi 2.1 and the cable itself is 2.1 than it may work. But there could be handshake issues there. There are many ways to convert a video signal, but each one has some issues. I feel your pain, but would doubt that this connection type would be enjoyable out of the gate.

You only need HDMI 2.1 to get 4K @ 120hz, which I do not believe any console will be able to achieve natively. Not even the new 3080s can do this consistently. I believe HDMI 1.4 can do 1080 @ 120fps and 1440p @ 75fps but you might want to double check that first.

Hey great question. Welcome to the channel, I hope you stick around and find it helpful. I will say that my gn850 has been great for contrast. But there is a caveat to that. I never use it in HDR.

Otherwise if you don't plan on gaming in HDR you should be totally fine. I have been extremely happy with mine.

You can calibrate from the Xbox, just not in the same way as pc. It will be 100% manual. Don't forget to calibrate while in HDR if your monitor supports that. Since the Xbox does switch between SDR and HDR.
