I first watched this helpful vid in Oct 2018 and haven't looked back. The C8 is just the most awesome TV I've ever owned.

Thank you so much! You not only helped me pick out the best TV for my needs & budget thanks to your comparison charts (LG B8 OLED 55"), but also helped me set it up! Thanks a TON! I use it with my PC so getting that response rate as fast as possible is a must!

This is the first time I've seen the calman charts overlaid on a video to show what each option does. Bravo, excellent.

Wow i see your new calibration video jump to next level,i like the way you showed us color change in diagram,well done guys

Your video helped me to decide on the LGC8 and now this video helped me set it up. The great thing abt ur videos is how you explain the techinal terms in simple layman's term that makes so much sense. Thank you and keep up the great service you are doing to all consumers worldwide

Excellent detailed explanation of picture settings! Thank you!

This is a great video!👍👍 LG should hire these people to help all of their customers. Further, I think the cadence, attention to detail, and pleasant personality of the presenter, are all first class. I'm bookmarking this video for future reference. Well done guys, and thank you very much.👍😊

I am so glad I subscribed to this channel your presentation has given me the confidence to explore my settings, 'finally'!

Informative & helpful instructions. Some portions were difficult to follow but repeating helped clarify the menu options discussed. A summary list showing recommended settings for average home use for CINEMA watching and game playing will be a plus to this video.. Thankyou

This was an amazing and informative settings video, and this guy's voice is so great I would pay hard-earned cash to listen to him read a phone book.

A fantastic explanation. Thank you.

Definately going to print out the page aswell so i can always have it next to the sofa hehe :D

This is really helpfull, especially also with other TVs than those LG OLED ones, as I'm now capable to understand what all the settings and some of those fancy names mean! Thank you! I'm going to rewatch this video and try to make an excel spreadsheet to note which settings affect which image properties. Game mode is interesting as I want to reduce input lag as much as possible (by reducing the internal image processing which adds lag) and the various cinema options are great, because I want to watch my content in the intendet color gamuts, contrast and screen brightness settings. Also I'm a fan of vivid colors, I want to see how I can combine all my mentioned desires.

This video was so so well done. Very impressive

Great video as always. Thank you!

Ok, let me just say this upfront. You guys ROCK! I just purchased a LG C9 tv and was having some issues. I also use this tv for a computer monitor. Not just gaming but for web browsing, youtube, editing and 3d modeling. While watching netflix and blu rays the tv is fine. Works like any other tv I have owned, other than it looks better. I normally get 500 dollar budget tvs. The C9 was a big step up for me, other than the old plasma I had years ago. With web browsing and certain programs this tv has issues with auto dimming. ABL and ASBL I guess its called? I called LG support and after doing a bunch of stuff they suggested that didn't work they told me the tv was defective and needed serviced. I said I don't think its broke. I think it is supposed to do this, I just don't like it and want to shut that feature off. I asked to talk to a technician and they told me no. WTF! I started doing some poking around on forums and discovered this is an issue with this tv, and other oleds and it isn't broke. I got some advice and tried it and it made it better. Like turning off TCP in the instart menu. Then I found some of your videos and your website on suggested settings. Wow, that helped a lot. Learning what modes to use for what, what settings to choose and how adjustments effect things. This isn't my first rodeo with setting up tvs, I am in my 50's, I have owned a few lol. However from the looks of it the oleds work a little different. I wasn't sure what to do with the oled light thing to be honest. I just set it to where it looked good and didn't blind me lol. I assume its similar to the backlight setting on a LCD tv. I had all my devices connected to my AVR and all running into my tv via the HDMI 1 port. Thanks to you people I discovered this probably isn't the best option because of how this tv handles things and does automatic picture mode switching depending on the signal. So I re did everything and ran all the hdmi cables to the tv instead and used the optical out for the sound. I set the HDMI port for my computer to computer you like you suggest and it automatically popped into game mode dissabling a bunch of stuff. Made the adjustment you suggest and it looks pretty good now. It still does a little auto dimming but nothing like it was doing before. It was throwing a fit on web pages before lol. The bright to dim swings were pretty extreme, even with oled light set to 50. It still does it, but its not as crazy and more controlled. Thank you so much for all the hard work you all do and putting the information out for us to use. I also like your realistic reviews and how you compare different tvs to each other.

Just ordered B8 :) will have it tomorrow

Best video in comparison to others trying to explain the same thing but they fall short compared to this

Excellent job- thank you from Australia

Thanks you guys are the best.

Great detailed explanation, thank you so much!

Thanks for explaining everything You guys are so helpful

Excellent. Clear. Helpful.

JOB WELL DONE GUYS! This is what i needed to accurately calibrate the C8 i intend to get a few days. Thanks Guys! 😎

Your videos are very good and very helpful. Thanks!

I calibrated my hdr settings for movies under the vivid picture setting for the c8, best by far

Very helpful! Thank you!

You are a legend.

Excellent information. Full explanations, and you don't "over tweak" the settings. These TV's have some of the best settings out of the box and your provide just the right adjustments to improve them. Thanks!!

just bought this TV....awesome tutorial

Fab ... just got a C8 your video was very helpful thank you

For HDR modes, are adjustments recommended to the default mode settings? E.g. DV cinema home mode has mpeg/noise reduction set to low. Should these reflect your SDR setting and be changed to off?

Also worth noting that you can enabled 1:1 Pixel Mapping for 1080p content on a 4K screen by turning on Just Scan in the Aspect Ratio settings. This will only work for a device that is outputting the native resolution of 1080p, like a game console or movie player, and will not work for digital apps like KZread and Netflix.

Thank you for this informative video

Have found your channel to be most useful and detailed reviews on tech. Please if you get a chance do size comparisons or review of tv which are 80 plus. Thanks.

Great vid, I'm just glad I got trumotion out of the way 👍🏻

Thanks this gave me an idea to lower oled and brightness to 0 on a HDMI port where I connected a new DVD player which was showing an almost completely white screen whilst playing audio CD's, in order to avoid the OLED from burning in !

Thanks for this video, you explained a lot of things I was confused about or mistakes I made. I have one question, when I use the Netflix app through my B8 the HDR logo doesn't appear for content, but when I use the Netflix app through my UBK90, the Dolby Vision logo appears when viewing content. Shouldn't HDR become available through the Netflix app or do I need to enable it somehow? Kinda a weird question, but the UBK90 doesn't seem to let me disable HDR DEEP COLOR for Netflix content. Is this normal or it doesn't matter? Thanks

Great info!

Thank you for the awesome tutorial!! I just picked up the 2019 55" C9. Should I follow this video for my settings on the C9? Thank you again...... very much appreciated. Ray 👍😊

Thank you. Apart from the rest of the great advice. Changing the icon to PC mode corrected a SCALING issue I had with my 55" C8. I couldn't see anything to correct it. Not even Google searching (I missed something somewhere). Thank you so so much!!! My hero 😊

I'm guessing your using the TV as a PC monitor, as I could then see you being able to tell. Otherwise with other inputs its almost impossible to tell. OLED and PC monitor use is where you have to be the most careful about burn in with static images, but damn does it ever look amazing at 120hz with G-sync enabled.......Such a dilemma otherwise I would also use my PC with my LG B9, but I'm not rich enough to expose it to high risk burn in and simply replace it if needed. I did try it out for about 10-15 min and ran a few games and damn did it look classy.... Wish I was a baller I would just buy a 2nd one for exclusive PC Monitor use....but I'm not R.I.P

Very good. Thumbs up

What about the E8 review? Is it coming soon ? Thank you for your great reviews it very helpful! 🙏

REALLY helpful video this, I just got my brand new 65c8 this week and I've been playing around with the settings to get the best picture from it all week. I'll watch this again a few more times to get a grip on what each setting actually means☺☺

I’ve already calibrated video settings for my C8 + 4K Blu-ray player with customized Cinema mode (for Dolby Vision) & ISF Expert Dark Room (for HDR10). However, I can’t find any calibration settings online for best picture quality when using the TV’s built-in KZread app. Any recommendations?

What's the setting to get rid of the horrible clouding at all grey levels and the constant brightness adjustments (this is dependant on the scene) so does not occur all the time... Other then that it's great!

Hi, wondering.. My tv the one in this video. If I plug a cable box or blu ray inyo hdmi 2 (arc) port it works initially but after a while i just get a black screen. Menus still show but no picture??? Any ideas if its faulty or me doing something wrong???

Very good video, though a might too fast. It would be terrific to have a print transcription of all of this as a download. Thanks for the great info!

Just got my OLED and I've been playing "Sekiro: Shadows die Twice" and spawned in the "fountainhead Palace" area of the game to test the GAME setting for HDR mode. I've found no matter how much I try to calibrate it, the default settings on that mode make it look the best. I'll be trying other areas to see if I can get similar results, but if I'm wrong about it being the best way to experience things I'm happy to take advice.

HDR game mode is accurate out of the box, don't mess with the OLED light or contrast, all you should do is change the colour temperature to W40 for a more accurate picture. Apart from that enjoy!

Hi, I have bought a C8 yesterday, for cinema viewing it is amazingly great, however it is really terrible to watch fast moving images like a cricket ball or football. Can you please suggest how to fix it? I tried to increase the juddering level in user setting, but it does not help, neither in the smooth option.

I’m a AV Vet, And I have a E8 coming this week, I Run everything through my Denon Receiver, I have 3 4K players and a Sony Upscaling Player (not boasting just mentioning it you’ll read why) obviously the Sony player is not DV/HDR but it all goes through the Denon, So will the TV Know I have 2 kinds of sources of display as in HDR and a Upscaler ? I like my 2nd HDMI to have the same settings as it’s the ‘Movie’ port from the Denon, I use HDMI 1 for my Satellite Box.. So all the switching is via the Denon.

Did lg learn how to manufacture these oled screens without vertical bands in 5% gray? because I have an oled55b7p that in less than 2 years appeared a stain that is called a vignette, will switch to another panel and even the new one appears but on another lcal of the screen. Has this microscopic manufacturing error been corrected?

Amazing video , what are the best picture settings for Philips 55OLED754/12? Please help , is my first oled tv

whats the input lag in PC Mode? cause i want to use that for consoles too as i hate how red texts look without 4:4:4

Hi there, I am used to watching videos including Netflix on my PC at a greater speed (x1.8 or x2.0): is there a way to do so on a B8, please? My idea would be to install chrome or opera with the video speed controller app for example but will it work? Thanks.

Honestly after MUCH fiddling/research seeing as I didn't care much for Cinema or ISF Dark Room, as they felt too "Warm/Yellowish" to my eyes. I found the "Standard" mode with very specific fine tuned settings to be best. This was after hours of scrutiny to provide the best imagine for all my content viewing, as I can be picky. Besides a slightly adjusted game mode for.....well gaming that is. This is all done on an LG B9 OLED btw with the current firmware installed.... OLED Light: 74 Contrast:89 Brightness:50 Sharpness:10 Color:63 Tint:0 Color Temperature:C20 Dynamic Contrast:Low Dynamic Color: Medium Preferred Color:(All 0s haven't felt any need to change these individually) Color Gamut: Extended Super Resolution: Off Gamma:Low Noise Reduction:Off MPEG Noise Reduction: Off Smooth Gradation: Off Black Level:Auto Real Cinema: On (only affects things if TruMotion is turned to Off. Which I will do if watching 24p Movie Content Only. If it's greyed out and you can't change it that means it's off either way) Motion Eye Care: Off TruMotion: User (De-Judder 2, De-Blur 0) OLED Motion: On (Also known as black frame Insertion) The TruMotion was the setting that I found to be the most debatable but equally important setting and after landing on turning judder to 2 and blur 0 while using BFI (OLED Motion) I was SOOO much happier with my viewing content. No stupid Soap Opera effect with OLED Judder drastically reduced for the most "Natural" feeling. Not Fake Smooth nor 100% perfect panning, it was a big personal improvement as the Judder at 2 adds almost no discernible Soap Opera effect. I recommend trying it out for yourself and let you decide, to be 100% clear this setting can introduce some "flickering" but honestly I almost never notice it. Example being I just got done watching a 90 min Anime movie on Funimation, and I legit noticed it "flicker" twice over that time. Very minor gripe for way more than enough trade off personally, but I digress it is a "thing" for you people that like to oppose things and whatnot..... If you like the "Soap Opera" and a super interpolated smooth image (which I know some people do and that's fine), a prime example being my parents who you just set things to Vivid/TruMotion Clear and it's instant amazement with OLED or LED...... then just ignore this and just set it to clear and move on with life. Anyways I hope this helps someone/somewhere, as this is what I found to produce great color/contrast/motion for my wide variety of content. Such as TV, Apps like Netflix or Hulu, and Funimation/Crunchyroll for Anime. Colors are vibrant but not grossly over-saturated, contrast is strong without over darkening scenes and losing detail, and I don't get a headache watching fast movement or feel like everything has become some cheap production. It's also not too bright where I feel like I have to squint or turn the backlight all the way down. At the end of the day everyone is different and it's up to you. Either way, I wish you good luck! -Matt, happy new OLED TV owner. TL:DR "It's a TV blah blah blah just turn it on and watch who cares"

I assume I can use these similar settings with a c9

great video. Just a question. How is colorimetry in game mode? Many people say that it is ugly and that the pictures also in this mode.

Just got my B8 55" . I adjusted the setting as you suggested. I might slightly tweak it. I see a slight screen flicker using an antenna and cable. Any suggestions? Also B&W tv shows look slightly green compared to my old 13 year old TV. You video is awesome!

this is an OLED TV not an LED TV.... The OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diodes which ARE direct rear lit diodes, much faster to change and can go a deeper black and whiter white if set up properly....

Your right for perfect motion with no soap opera you need 5:5 cadence which is real cinema option turned on and gives you 24p x 5 to fit the 120hz refresh whereas true motion on 0 drops the frame rate to 60 with 3:2 pulldown which is the old fashioned way.
