Can't thank you enough for all your hard work! Keep it up and i hope you continue with Dolby vision and optimal 4k movie settings 🔥👍🏽

[@racsoronin130]

Love this videos, optimal DV and HDR for movies next please 👍💪

[@dante19890]

I recommend everyone to try D nice whitepoint instead. Put it in warm2 , then only adjust high ( green 8, blue 7) , leaving low untouched. That will get rid of the magenta push on most oleds in warm 2.

Great video Amok! Always super informative. Hey man. Is there anyway you can test D-Nice (Dwayne Davis’) LG CX calibration settings he posted on AVS forums? I wanna know how they measure. He’s posted measurements, but being I don’t have the equipment yet, I was just curious if you could see how these settings fair, when plugged into your CX, and measured. Just for a second opinion, per say. I find his settings great. Clearly not going to be better than a real calibration, but still better than OOTB calibration. It really helps fix the grayscale and gamma, which is always a little too dark and crushed on LG OLEDs. I’m trying to decide which settings to use...yours or his. On a side note, I honestly hate SDR gaming on the CX. It’s BAD! Is so drab, and lifeless. Seeing the A80J SDR gaming performance compared to a C1 was eye opening. SONY is kicking LG’s ass when it comes to SDR gaming. I mean it’s night and day, and idk why this is. I really dislike the CX’s SDR, bc it’s so dim. The only way SDR games look appealing, is by using a custom HDR effect mode lol. I’m like you, I have a hard time with SDR, after playing and experiencing HDR for so long. I actually would of never even of thought to use the HDR effect mode typically. I’m more of a purist. But I can’t lie, I kinda like the effect it has on some content. Especially games. I clearly turn off all processing, and target D65, but I do leave the forced wide color, which I no is wrong...but sometimes I like it. Especially in a bright room and with gaming. It kinda emulates a WCG the best it can... Sorry for kinda ranting all over the place. PS...I directed someone towards your channel today. (A person who see’s zero benefits to HGiG). Hopefully he can learn something about HGiG, and HDR, before he keeps making videos that make him look like he’s got no idea what he’s talking about.

[@Lumyp83]

I just follow your instruction MASTER :) Great video again :)

[@Mammuttum]

I know it's late...but the color management system setting on PC is grayed out for me, using LG CX and RTX 4070. Should I still do the 2 point calibration ? I can edit that.

[@jasonadams6335]

So I copied yesterday's settings for gaming. Today's video, is that for gaming as well? So do I adjust yesterdays setting to the video that you uploaded today? Also, if I watch all the major streaming apps through my xbox, will these settings look good as well? Thank you

[@GamingTech-YouTube]

Yesterdays video was for HDR gaming. This one is for SDR.

[@jasonadams6335]

@@GamingTech-KZbin I'm sorry that i'm really new to this understanding. SDR is for just standard watching of tv and streaming apps?

You should show a game before and after for visual results. 👍

You recommend using game console mode or Pc mode for ps5?

[@Mr.Honest247]

So those color detail adjustments are 100% accurate and they’ll appear accurate on my TV despite you mentioning that my LG CX might not look exactly like your LG CX?!??

[@GamingTech-YouTube]

Because not every panel is exactly the same

[@daledenton4499]

Great video. Can you explain how to do the manual 2 pt calibration using Calman, after doing an Autocal?

[@TheSheeneek]

Hi Amok, I'm just getting my head around calibration. I have watched quite few of your videos already and I kind of formed a plan. So to start calibrating my CX should I first go via service mode and do white point setting first and then 11 point calibration within tv settings? Why did you do 2 point calibration at all?

[@adig6180]

Ach verdammt, hast leider den schlechteren CX ....😅💪🏻 Nein sorry mein C9 würde ich nicht tauschen wollen 😉 ,maximal Heiligkeit höher und volle Bandbreite für HDMI 2.1 ..... Konnte nicht länger warten meine Frau wollte mich schon für verrückt erklären 😂. Habe keine Hardware um den Tv richtig zu kalibrieren , hab deine Einstellungen vom CX genommen auch wenn das komplett falsch ist😅 sitze zocke outriders und passt . Danke wieder mal für deinen Einsatz , jedes Video ....als ob ich mit meinen kumpel bei dir sitzen würden und wir nehmen den LG außeinander 💪🏻💪🏻😂

[@Malinkadink]

Using PC mode unfortunately cannot adjust colors in game mode, even when i tried to adjust manually I could not get good results with manual controls but since i need 4:4:4 on PC you can't change colors manually so Calman was the only way. Calman uploading a LUT that applies to that picture mode fixed my colors a lot so I think it was worth the $ to get a really good result. I would also recommend to always use Limited and Black level low, I've done a bunch of research on this and even though the TV supports full range from a source it will convert it internally and output it in limited range as that is what it was designed to do, conversions always risk introducing artifacts so I've switched to using all my consoles in Limited/Low as well as my PC. Also one last thing, if using PC input label for a PC and HDMI or game console input label for a console the colors and greyscale will be different as the processing between PC mode and non pc mode is different. I would simply recommend to use PC mode for everything if using calman autocal since the LUT upload makes it not matter that manual controls are greyed out like color. The only problem with PC mode is real cinema is off so if watching any 24 fps content you will want to switch input labels but this isn't an issue if using the TVs internal apps/player. EDIT: Wanted to say for real cinema and 24 fps content you do not need to switch input labels to get real cinema on PC if you are using the PC at 120hz with the TV as 24 divides evenly into 120 and gives you 5:5 pulldown. However on a console outputting at 60hz you will need 3:2 pulldown for 24 fps content and real cinema is required to not get any judder.

[@karl343]

Any idea how much input lag we get while using different picture modes. I use PC input, but prefer the technicolour expert mode over game mode for colour accuracy in SDR. I remember reading on Rtings with my old C7 that you could change input to PC, select any picture mode with the exact same input lag. I'm currently using a C9, wondering if input lag increases while using picture modes outside of game mode, while having the TV input set to PC.

[@Malinkadink]

@@karl343 I remember that on the C7 not sure if it applies to C9 but on the CX in PC mode anything outside of game mode will have around 14ms delay vs 6ms in game mode.

[@karl343]

@@Malinkadink Cheers must be similar on the C9. I don't mind a bit of extra input lag for single player games.

[@Kieranh778]

Did you reverse your service menu calibration before you made the menu adjustments, or you made them on top of the service menu white adjustments?

[@GamingTech-YouTube]

I reserved it to the factory service menu settings

[@andymarinho]

Hi Amok, thanks for your work. I always try these suggested color settings but the result is always a "warm picture". I know color calibrations are particular to any device. I d like to know how is the result in your panel. For example, when you put a white desktop picture in your tv, you see a warm white, cool white or neutral white. For me the correct result it would be a neutral white, but I am not sure about it. Cheers

[@sergius8495]

the t65 whitepoint can seem pretty warm to the untrained eye, but it should be that way. almost every content is mastered in the t65 whitepoint, it‘s the most accurate. if you don‘t like the look of the warm white however, you can for sure change it to a more cool white.

[@alaalhomsy481]

Thank you, I want to ask you. I put it on the games and after two minutes it comes back to vivd mode why

Do you find your settings of this video better, equally good or worse compared to the video about 5 months ago on the same topic? I love your videos and look forward to a new one every time! Many greetings from Munich and have a pleasant weekend! Hast Du mit deinen Einstellungen dieses Videos gegenüber der deines Videos vor ca. 5 Monaten zum selben Thema bessere Erfahrungen gemacht oder nicht? Ich habe beide Einstellungen ausprobiert und finde beide sehr gut. Eine professionelle und explizit auf meinen lg cx TV bezogene Kalibrierung habe ich nicht durchgeführt. Lediglich mit Testbildern. Ich finde Deine Videos mega gut und freue mich jedesmal auf ein neues!

The white settings even if it is the same TV model should not be copied as I understand it. We can put those adjustments without a probe, is it recommended?

[@gideon0076]

@@JoltinJoe Sure, that happens to me too. Beyond the basic settings, you will not be touched by anything else. Perhaps the fastest way to check if they work is to do it yourself, but I am a little afraid that the image could make it worse without realizing it

[@gideon0076]

@@JoltinJoe Ahaha no, because then the probes would stop making sense. But it is good to ask and learn to try to get the most out of TV

[@BassPunk]

Depends, If you see green, blue or red push in anything you watch without these settings on a CX I would try them out. On a Sony A1 OLED, I copied the settings from another sets calibration and the image afterwards had no push. Before it was obvious to see the blue tint. LG OLED generally look green to me and Samsung LCD red.

[@gideon0076]

@@BassPunk Thanks for your answer, I like to learn and read opinions. For me my cx already looks good, but I suppose that without a probe all I have left is to try for myself and compare

Also echt, ich kann mich mit warm2 absolut nicht anfreunden. Mag es noch so messtechnisch korrekt sein. Für sieht sieht es unnatürlich und häßlich aus :(

[@91KevinJohn]

Wenn du eine Woche mit Warm 2 spielst wirst du die Farbtemperatur mittel sehr komisch finden. Grade realistische Spiele sehen dann schnell unnatürlich aus mit einen zu starken Blaustich. Spieleentwickler arbeiten mit Bildschirmen, welche alle kalibriert sind und zwar auf den Wert den wir mit Warm 2 am nächsten erreichen. Das heißt, wenn du einen eher bläulichen Himmel siehst und bei warm 2 einen mehr ins rötlich gehenden Himmel, dann wollte der Entwickler einen eher ins rötlich gehenden Himmel kreieren. Und wenn du das Spiel so spielen willst, wie es der Entwickler sich vorgestellt hat, dann muss man seinen Bildschirm entsprechet einstellen. Am ende ded Tages muss du natürlich zufrieddn sein :)

[@Dwal1n]

@@91KevinJohn Da bin ich komplett anderer Meinung. Die Einstellung warm2 beim LG CX kommt dem Weißpunkt D65 am nächsten. D65 (also 6500 K) ist der definierte Weißpunkt von sRGB und AdobeRGB - was aber in der Praxis unwichtig ist, da der Weißpunkt des Arbeitsfarbraums nur eine unsichtbare Konvertierungs-Zwischenstufe darstellt. Es ist also nicht nötig und noch nicht einmal von besonderem Vorteil, wegen Verwendung von sRGB oder AdobeRGB den Monitor oder TV auf D65 zu kalibrieren. D65 wurde auch gewählt, weil es für die meisten Menschen Augen schonender ist. Natürliches Tageslicht ist jedoch kühler. Ich habe es versucht, aber ich komme mit dieser warmen Farbtemperatur nicht klar. Jahre langes Blaulicht hinterlässt Spuren. Wenn ich eine Szene im Schnee habe, sollte diese auch naturgetreu weiß sein und nicht gelb. Wie gesagt, Farbtemperatur ist Gewöhnungssache. Mich umzugewöhnen, würde Jahre in Anspruch nehmen.

[@91KevinJohn]

@@Dwal1n Habe auch Jahrelang auf Mittel gespielt. Bei mir geht das umgewöhnen immer schnell, ich könnte also mit beidem leben. Die Gewöhnung an Weißwert Mittel ist immer schwieriger und wirkt erstmal unnatürlicher als umgekehrt. Für mich ist der Schnee in Village immernoch weiß und wird bei einen Weißwert Mittel dann eher Blau. Blauen Schnee hab ich auch noch nicht gesehen. Das ist das immer. Aber gut jeder muss zufrieden sein mit sein Bild.

[@Dwal1n]

@@91KevinJohn Bei mir ist der Schnee nie blau, sondern immer weiß :) Das liegt jetzt auch nicht am Screen. Weder auf meinem SUHD Samsung noch auf dem LG CX ist das Bild mit Farbtemperatur mittel unnatürlich oder hat einen harten blau Stich. Für mich geht warm2 überhaupt nicht. No way, auch nicht bei Filmen. Zum Ausgleich habe ich aber warmes Hintergrundlicht. Das geht dann nicht so auf die Augen und für lange Sessions nutze ich eine Brille mit Blaulichtfilter. Da wird das Bild auch noch mal wärmer. Das ist voll krass. Wenn du die Brille über ein weißes Blatt legst, siehst du den gelbstich der Brille ^^

[@91KevinJohn]

@@Dwal1n Das ist ja auch Wahrnehmungssache. Würde ich zu dir kommen würde mir der Schnee zu Blau wirken. Genauso ist mein Schnee in warm 2 auch nicht gelb sondern Weiss. Ich spiele auf dem c9, aber das ergebnis wird jeweils aus deiner und meiner Perspektive gleich sein, egal wo man spielt, du wirst Mittel am natürlichsten finden und ich warm 2.
