I actually watched all your videos on OLED and QLED and based on your professional opinion and testing I went for the QLED. I have seen a OLED since and they do look great but I am very happy with the Q90T QLED and now with these updated settings you just made me feel even better about my choice. It seemed overly bright out of the box on all games and I was looking at very bright colours thinking thats not how its meant to look. Now it looks mint and Ive just got 47 eliminations and 10 Deaths on Cold War Nuketown on the new settings so they definately helped me personally. To note though my TV switched to 2086 once I loaded Call of duty so I had to do the settings you did on PS5. Then when I closed Cold war it went back to 1886 so I did the settings for that again. Awesome video and again thanks for your time man doing all the testing and putting it all out there just intime for me to make the right TV and Console choice. Got a subscriber for life here anyway. Happy new year man!

Great job, as usual, Vincent! I'd love a video explaining exactly what those EOTF curve graphs actually show. Even upon pausing, I don't quite understand what I'm looking at. This might be helpful for the community as well.

Hey Vincent, do you have a vid on settings for normal SDR and HDR viewing? If not, could you give me some do's and do not's?

Good stuff as always Vincent, I do a lot of videos with the Q90T I definitely agree with a lot your settings and they are very similar to what I’m already running I noticed on SDR using auto color profile it appears washed out but native is pops a lot more is auto performing correctly in SDR? I am a definitely huge fan of Game Motion Plus for 30fps games especially Switch games also on Series X for CyberPunk quality mode. As far as boosting the gamma I have have played around with this overall and for some games I think you can run +3 on the gamma but on darker games I definitely think most people would find it too washed out you got to play at 0 due to some dimming limitations, maybe this is more necessary on the 80T. Keep up the awesome work!!

Thanks for this video Vincent. Unfortunately, I have the 2018 Samsung QLED and it only supports HDMI 2.0. So, the best I can get from the PS5 is YUV422 when the resolution is set to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz. But, I was able to use your Samsung settings in my TV as well. My question, however, is that the games themselves (such as Ghost of Tsushima) has its own Display Settings menu which includes a Brightness and UI Brightness (HDR) setting. What am I supposed to set these to?

These settings are working for Q60R as well, my Diablo II Resurrected, looks amazing, I can finally see the monsters hitpoint meter. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. Played a lot before with my Q85R for PS5 gaming, and couldn’t achieve those results. Glad for your video!!

These are great settings, thanks. The only change I made was colour up to 35. I need a guide like this for movie settings on the Q80T!

thanks for these my q90t already looked good but these made it look better

You helped me out so much! Thank you! I couldn’t find no other video explaining it like you did! Keep it up man!

The settings around eco solution and putting the Sharpness to 0 definitely improved things although for me my games don’t look as good with Warm2, no contrast enhancer and the gamma on 3. Especially Warm2, way too brown for my personal taste. Playing ghost of tushima right now and it definitely looks better with contrast enhancer on low with standard colour tone and default gamma. Thank you for this video all the same.

thank you very much! glad to see that my settings were pretty similair already. and thanks for your explination regarding the increase of st.2084, i always had it between +2 or +3 and was wondering what an expert would say about that. :)

also glad to see that you keep the color space settings to "auto". a lot of youtubers recommend "native" and i always found the colors to be oversaturated then.

I performed these same steps with Q90T and RTX 3080 for PC gaming. After turning Game Motion Plus Off the details and graphics were Amazingly better. Setting the Dynamic Black Equalizer to zero fixed a lot of Black color issues on the Q90T. I can enjoy black colors again. Increasing the Gamma setting to 3 on the TV made a huge difference as well. The colors and picture quality are now very vibrant. I also disabled or not Enabled G-Sync setting. I haven't tried enabling G-Sync with the Game Motion Plus turned off, but with Game Motion Plus turned on and G-Sync enabled the graphics were very washed out and didn't look too good. I played Doom Eternal 4k@120 Hz.. the graphics and picture quality have never looked better. In fact, the TV's picture quality and the game graphics are significantly improved over the default settings and there's a noticeable difference. Thanks for making this video... this really made my day and significantly improved the picture quality for gaming on the Q90T.

I also have enjoyed these settings on PS4 Pro. The real game changer was increasing gamma to +3. At the default value of 0, some games didn't look right and the brightness would fluctuate constantly

I think many are still confused on how to achieve reasonably accurate calibration of peak HDR on PS5 and XSX with the Q95T/Q90T. If 14 or 15 clicks from the darkest point = 1000 nits, and the Q95T/Q90T can achieve 1700 nits on a 10% window after calibration - how many clicks then would equal, say, 1700-1900 nits? Thank you.

@hdtvtest

The clipping point applies to the source input code value, not the actual peak brightness output of the TV. In [HGiG] mode, before dynamic tone-mapping, the Q90T/ Q95T also starts rolling off around 1000 nits, so 14-15 clicks should work.

I own a 65Q90T and thougt it may be an AC: Valhalla bug. But due to your post, I got the reason.

Great job, thanks.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video Vincent. Been waiting for this one. Cheers. Merry Christmas!

2 questions...are you leaving adaptive picture mode on or off? And also, I use the PS5 to stream movies as well as gaming. With game mode set to auto, my q80t changes game mode on and off automatically when I switch from playing a game to watching Netflix, even tho I am not changing the source on the tv and everything is coming from the PS5. I think that’s very cool that the tv knows what I am doing within the PS5. So my second question is are these settings ok to use if I am streaming movies and gaming with the PS5?

I also would love to see you do a Movie mode for this TV as it feels like It could do with a nice setup for that area too. Thanks dude

Hello, stupid question, but should you set the ST.2084 to 3 before setting the HDR ps5 or after or it does not matter.

What an exceptionally detailed and helpful video. I'm definitely going to give this setup a shot with my Q90T and Ps5.

Still having trouble. 2020 Q95T 65" running firmware 1461 with Xbox Series X (also issues with PC and a 3090). I can have it running in 120hz VRR with HDR but some games (especially Cyberpunk 2077) consistently put the TV in a loop where it doesn't know what the input should be, so I get the little loading circle, I found that this is WAY worse if you have it in Auto for game mode as it just keeps saying Game mode on and off, over and over. I have tested this with Destiny 2, Forza 7, F1 2019 and I keep getting issue, I am using the only HDMI 2.1 cable I have which is the one that came with the Xbox Series X, this could be an issue.. When trying to run my PC at 2160p 120hz, VRR (G-Sync) with HDR it looks ok in Windows but when I load a game it just shows distortion across the entire screen (similar to when using a cheap HDMI cable back in the day..). I will keep playing with it I guess, all my issues go away if I set the Xbox to 60hz (leaving VRR and HDR on) or setting the PC to 100hz (leaving G-Sync and HDR on), I can also fix the Xbox issue with disabling HDR (leaving it in 120hz, VRR..).

Sorry if you mentioned this, but when adjusting the HDR on ps4 and ps5, should I do that before engaging HGIG or after? Because HGIG makes the test pattern appear brighter.

@telefonbarmann4514

Жыл бұрын

You should do that -after- you engaged HGIG. Because otherwise you calibrate your Console+TV-Combo in a mode that you will not use. HGIG is a function to tell the TV not to "touch" anything about the tone mapping the console is putting out.

Can you do the same for the best movie settings? Thank you!

hey vincent, do you happen to know if these settings still work well with samsung‘s 2014.1 firmware (on a 2020 q90t 75inch)? i own a ps5 and it seems to me that ever since the tv‘s firmware update, light areas are oversaturated. if a game (for instance kena bridge of spirits) shows control instructions in a white circle representing the button, the symbol of the button is not visible any more. so i only get to see a white, blown out circle. i use the exact ps5 and tv settings you guys recommended in your viedos. these were obviously released before the 2014.1 firmware update. thank you very much! thanks a lot

Hey Vincent, I would greatly appreciate it if you could make a similar video with the Samsung qn90a. I've been having a lot of trouble with getting it to look right with my Xbox Series X with lots of areas being completely blown out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the settings yourself too. Don't miss out on something you like more

Thanks for this Vincent. It’s actually confirmed to me that my VRR is definitely “broken”. With the series x and my Q95t, as soon as I have VRR enabled, the picture has this white haze to it that simply doesn’t go away, no matter what good advice I look up.

@HDTVTEST Hi Vincent, your video is very nice, compliment! I saw that as me also your TV have the little flickering and horizontal banding on the screen. I did more test with my xbox series x and my TV 55Q80T, and I found out that the only way for now to solve flickering\banding problem is to set 120 Hz without VRR or 60 Hz without VRR and only in this particular case with with Game Motion Plus Enabled. There is a solution to solve these issues and have the VRR enable without these problem? I hope that samsung solve this issue definitly with next release of the firmware. Thanks in advance for you reply ;)

Nice video, Would you recommend more or less the same settings for watching movies or would I have to change the settings when I play games and watch movies ?

I've recently switched from q80T to q90T. And I've noticed that the picture on q90t is much dimmer than on q80t with the same settings (HDR, Game Mode (no game motion plus), brightness/contrast 50/50, high local dimming, contrast enhancer off). DId you observe the same?

When I turn game mode on and have my Xbox settings set to 1080p 120hz my tv starts freaking out idk why like the screen keeps flickering and then just shuts off. When I have it on 1080p 60hz it works fine same thing for 4k 60hz for some reason when I turn 120hz on and then turn game mode on my tv stops working but with game mode off it works fine. Also when I turn game mode on I don’t get the game mode settings option for some reason?

Can anyone tell me why the black level is lifted significantly with VRR enabled on the Series X and why it's always in gameode with VRR enabled? I have a 55" Q80T

Vincent, there is something you should mention: The dashboard on the Series X is in SDR and as soon as you switch to a game, that is when you are in HDR and thus your TV settings will also change. This is why setting it via the dashboard will have different default values to when doing so in game.

(totally just my opinion of course): * I find that, depending on the game, bringing color from 25 up to somewhere between 30-40 can help make the colors pop out of the screen. Doing this with some games will result in oversaturation, but others it'll make it just right. * The Local Dimming options don't seem to make a difference in games. At least nothing I've been able to perceive with my eye. Huge difference for movies / TV though, and I often swap between Standard and High depending on the content. * Contrast Enhancer Off will give the most natural image for sure, but I do find that bringing it up to Low can help with some games that feature darker areas. Worth a shot if you are frustrated with things appearing too dim. * I'm very surprised by the number of times I've seen the "Warm 2" color tone recommended. I find it looks like you're slapping a crude Sepia tone filter on the image, simultaneously muting things and making them more orange than they should be. I've tried it out a couple times, but when I bring it back to Standard I'm always way happier. I wonder if maybe Warm 2 in conjunction with all of the other settings Vincent has chosen will surprise me, as there are few other things I do differently as well. * It's a relief to see him put Gamma all the way up to 3, and to see a test conducted to rationalize it! I always thought that adding to this slider produced the same kind of "artificial" brightness that Contrast Enhancer does, damaging the natural quality of the image. But now I will gladly go back and try this out. * Color Space Auto is another interesting choice. I have found I almost always go with Native. If you take yourself to a place in-game that features a lot of green (especially in something like AC Valhalla, with its trees and rolling plains) and you toggle between Auto and Native, you'll find that things look infinitely more lush and full on Native. Auto tends to rob things of their colorization. That being said!! Perhaps Auto, in conjunction with Warm 2, High Gamma and Contrast Enhancer Off, will give me a better image than I've yet seen. Can't wait to try it out. * One thing that Vincent passed over is in the External Devices menu. HDMI Black Level. In other videos I've seen him say he prefers to stick with Auto, which is likely the best choice. I have found, though, that setting this to Low can give you a crisper look. In Demon's Souls, for example, it really rounds the edges of things and makes the blacks feel super black. Just something to try out. * Vincent also always recommends HGiG, which I imagine from a professional calibration standpoint is the way to be. I've had some fun experimenting with it though. If you're trying to get your settings just right, and you can't quite get there, try disabling HGiG and running through everything again. In Spider-Man Miles Morales, for example, I was having a hell of a time getting the game to stop looking purple, or blown out, and it wasn't until I disabled HGiG that I finally found my perfect setup. Again these are just some thoughts! I obviously have nowhere near the professional experience that Vincent does, but I've spent the better part of two months obsessing over this TV and console so I just wanted to provide some alternative ideas. Every display is different and every model comes calibrated differently, so in case any of you aren't pleased with the way yours is looking, hopefully this gives you some inspiration for how to further play around with your settings.

@@matthewsoldano I gave it a try and just couldn't get into it. Having so many settings on a TV can be weird though. When you first make a switch you'll be like "ugh, no way!" But if you leave the new settings on for a while you may warm up to it and even like it more than where you had it before. For example changes to Local Dimming, Gamma levels or Shadow Detail can really improve things, but it takes time to be sure. That being said, I really don't feel that Warm 2 is a good setting for any game that I've played so far. I find it bizarre that so many analysts say it gives the "truest" color when it makes everything so orange.

Does HGIG and HDR really work on the PS5 when 120hz is enabled? I receive HDR and HGIG at 4k 60hz like your video above shows, but when i turn on Call of Duty cold war and it goes to 4k@120hz HDR and HGIG turn off. Is this an issue with the Q80T or the PS5?

Please let me know if its good to use these settings for Q80R / Q85R / Q90R ??? :)

I currently have a Samsung ue55ks8000 from 2015/16 but need something bigger.

For me the best settings I have found are to set Everything to standard or off. Gamma on 2, For some games dynamic contrast on and some off (COD CW seems to like it on) Then on the Xbox HDR calibration turn (HGIG on) the black level up quite a bit (until peoples eye colour and nearby objects are sufficiently bright, too much and it will make the distant sky and clouds too bright) then turn the next 2 for white calibration up until the blocks disappear (if the sky in games is too bright and washed out then turn it down until it looks ok). HGIG off for max brightness or HGIG on for certain games. I leave Dynamic contrast on low though would prefer it off if Samsung would brighten everything up a bit without it though it seems they designed the HGIG profiles and the screen seems to dim/lack of contrast without it.

the black on my q80t get very crushed in game mode VRR no matter what I do on xbox series x I use Brightness: 50 contrast: 36 (50 is just to much was getting headaches) sharpness: 0 (but i feel like 5 might be best) Color: 30 Local Dimming: High Contrast enhancer: Low Color tone: Warm 1 Gamma st.2084: 0 shadow detail: 0 color space: Auto HDMI Black level: auto the only way i can prevent black crush is by setting the Dynamic black equalizer to 5 in game mode or to put HDMI black level on normal, or I can put HDMI Black auto/low Dynamic black EQ on 0 then bump up the shadow detail to like 4/5 then it seems to fine but with it on 0 everything is just completely crushed. Does anyone know why this is and is there anything I can do to fix this or do i just leave dynamic black on 5 cause i see everyone say to put it on 0.

Is there any way of stopping the tv going black when you go on to game for that second when game mode switches off to on ?
