Do you also enable Dolby Vision PC in this mode or not ?
Sharpness value from 10 to 0 i suppose ?
Colour Depth is 50 by default in FMM, do you leave it also default ? GM is 55.

So i just did a quick switch to try : FM Mode, ALLM enabled (was on already), 4:4:4 (was on already), All AI enhancements off and i can definitely see/feel a slightly bigger input lag compared to GM.
It's not enormous but it is very obvious for me as i'm very sensitive to that.
Any setting i might have missed ?

Thanks.

I don't use Dolby Vision, no.
Yes to turning sharpness to 0, and colour depth should be 50 in FMM. GO defaults to 55 to try and make up for the loss of colour depth, 50 is correct for FMM.

Make sure your input icon is set to PC, there may be a slight increase in input lag, but it's shouldn't be that big.

Here is a decent resource for the C4 and other LG's - https://www.patreon.com/posts/82545589

It's a patreon link yeah, but the info we need is all there for free.

A lot of it is personal preference though, so don't worry too much about it.

Personally I have tried playing around with filmmaker vs PC / gaming input on my C3 that I use as a monitor and it was mainly brightness levels that seemed different.

It was a lot more convenient to just go with gaming mode with some adjustments and forget about it. Maybe C4 is different though.

So i just did some comparison FMM/GM, both HGiG, myself and i share the conclusion of StereoVsn above.
Tests were done playing Forza Motorsport & Stellar Blade @120fps.

- No difference in colour volume at all. None. RTings are definitely right in this regard.
- On my testing, GM had to be adjusted to +5/6 brightness to match FM one overall.
- A slight but mildly noticeable difference in highlights on low medium to dark scenes with bright elements, mainly, a bright sky above a dark forest was a bit brighter as well as some fluorescent orange alien eggs on a dark cave were a bit more flashier. No difference on high medium/bright scenes at all.
This difference actually makes sense because HUD & UI elements on games are usually bright. Game Mode burn-in prevention is bigger than on FMM for obvious reason and i suppose this must be the main culprit.
- A slight but again noticeable difference on input lag. I was able to spot the difference even on desktop. It's not a big difference and i would probably be fine with it if i didn't have a direct comparison but still : Game Mode has lower input lag than FM despite ALLM/444 and whatever game options were enabled.

Overall : Game Mode for me is still the way to go for both my burn-in anxiety (lol) and for responsiveness. However, i'm happy to have conducted these tests as i can see myself quick switching to FM for cinematic games sometimes because LG quick menu make the change requiring like half a second of my time but otherwise it wouldn't be worth the hassle :) !
I'll try darker games like Alan Wake, Doom or Alien with FMM !

Do you have your output colour format set to YCbCr444 and depth set to 10 pbc if you are using Nvidia?

It's weird that I'm seeing a noticable difference, even on my desktop. Red and yellows in particular lose a lot of depth on GO compared to FMM. I'm using 144hz though, that might factor into it maybe?

Yes 444 or RGB but there is no difference between those 2 here so when Nvidia defaults it to RGB i usually leave it like that. 10 bits by default, even tried 12 bits for placebo lol, ofc no difference.
Also used 144hz without issue but i've switched back to 120hz because movie framerates are better with it on MPC-HC or Potplayer.

Are you sure your FMM/GM share the same settings ? I did my best to ensure that before any testing (except brightness as explained above which required a bit higher value on GM).
I also double checked they both had HGiG on. ColorControl app is great ! It allowed me to force it on FMM thanks to you.

Is it a C4 as well ? Which size ?
I think 42 panels are a bit different than 55+.

I have the same 42" C4, Bit baffled here, maybe I'm more susceptible to the change in colour? What brightness settings are you meaning on GM? Colour depth should be 55 on GO and 50 on FMM, in HDR Pixel brightness should be 100 for both and Black Level (Prevoiusly called Brightness on older C series) should be 50.

Leave the depth at 10bit. Try changing the format to YCbCr444 and 144hz to see if you see a difference, I've just tried changing back to RBG and 120hz and can still see the difference on my panel, clear as day. Even just bring up a colour chart, something like this (https://www.hdwallpaperspulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/06/69.jpeg) and change between the two modes, especially in the yellows you should see the difference.

I mostly have mine in 144hz as my C4 is just used for gaming, so the difference in input lag is next to nothing, however I can feel the slight difference at 120hz between GO and FMM.

Again at the end of the day, there isn't a *correct* way to set this up, it is really personal preference. I prefer the way colours look in FMM.
 
The most valuable lesson i learned in my few years of oled setting tinkering is that no setting is perfect, and better is the enemy of good (and of your game session, if you are not careful you'll spend half the time playing with the settings instead of the game).
Im not saying you should not tinker to your heart's content, but if you find yourself with what you think is good picture quality, you should enjoy it instead of trying to get the best picture quality.

I wonder why devs don't release tv settings for their games, just as they release config specs. I know tv settings are far more a personal choice than config specs, but it could be nice for those that don't know much and want guidance.

To buy a 77" this year for gaming on the 3 consoles plus watching tv and films, would you agree that the G4 at sale prices would be the best option (unless LG sort out the G5 issues) ?

In terms of absolute "best" you can buy, yes I'd at least agree that its the best if money is no object.

Bravia 8 II is already out but it's very similar to A95L, it has 4th gen QD-OLED panel so same as flagship Samsung S95F but brightness is capped to lower values and comes in 2 sizes only - 55" and 65".

Compare Sony A95L vs Sony Bravia 8 MK2

You'll definitely see an improvement with at least a C4, even bigger one with a G4. It all depends on how much you want to spend really.

Yeah.
Where I live they currently cost CHF1780 vs CHF2500, so 40% increase to get the G4.
Funny to think my 65C8 cost CHF2100 in January 2019

May i suggest a quick check of your Output range comparing Game Mode & Filmmaker ?
Maybe one is incorrectly detecting and set your range to limited while your nvidia panel says Full or the opposite way ?
It happened to me on some of my screen. When the TV range is set differently to that of your output, it might drastically change white, yellows and cause black crush.

I recently got the C4 dirty cheap, it's an amazing TV. The S90C is brighter and has better color volume but the price difference was too big for me to justify. Ps. I live in Brazil.

Both are on Limited due to having the output set to YCbCr444.

There is a difference, but after testing both out for the last hour or so it's not as big as I initally found it to be.

I think I'll keep all my sources on GO for the time being just to see if I can really tell the difference. I have noticed a difference in input lag - It's the kind of thing where you wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't point it out!

Wow. I didnt know Panasonic is back in the US (still not returned to Canada). Google says they returned last year. Their OLEDS got pretty good reviews on rtings. Not as good as a good LG. But they're back!

It was so bad with that firmware update that they actually pulled it and Samsung actually admitted they fucked up(which is probably one of the reasons the world seems to messed up because hell is probably freezing over.)

They are fixing it and adding it back in with a new firmware update. But given that it's Samsung, they are going to fuck something else up. That's the hard lesson Samsung owners need to learn. If you own a Samsung, don't put it on the internet. My S90C has never been connected,
that's why it's still on the good firmware that had no issues (firmware 1310)

Man, Costco has 77" LG G4 for $2900 with 5 year warranty. It's very, very tempting… but I can get a 77"Samsung S90D for $1800.

I would much rather have the G4, but that price difference…

LG and Samsung are by far the best for gaming, due to their feature completeness and super low input latency.
Sony is the best if you want to have the best quality for movies, but their high input latency and often missing festures make them suboptimal for gaming.

The next PlayStation console needs to be built around a Sony display.
The display would be 100% plug and play with the PlayStation and not have any settings.
Sony could even make a proprietary cable that connects the two and nobody would have to worry about HDMI cable specs.
There's too many variables with modern TVs and the odds of any end user getting game images that look exactly as studios intended are incredibly low.

all TV manufacturers should look into something like this.
like Samsung and LG could work with each console manufacturer to calibrate their displays accordingly, and automatically go into the "Xbox Mode" or "PlayStation Mode" when it detects the system.

honestly, they wouldn't even need to collaborate with the console makers, they could just have a team of people that know their shit create such a preset per TV model just like they do calibrate their "Filmmaker mode" preset.
 
I turn my TV on and I notice this purple rectangle on the side of the screen and I'm like hell nooooo. Just my luck with TVs, seriously, I'm cursed.

I am so incredibly glad I went for five years of extra service when I bought the Sony A95K in 2023 otherwise the costs of repair at Sony would have been insane and might as well buy a new one. They will try to repair it at my house, in the case it needs to be repaired somewhere else I will get a temporary tv by them. That's good service.

How are you guys with the LG G5 finding HDR to be?

I've been reading stuff about it and seems game mode is currently busted, full of issues like HDR banding and such. They fixed it in filmaker mode and game mode remains the same for now.

From what I've seen the top tier choices, OLED wise, are between Samsung S95F, LG G5 and perhaps Panasonic Z95B.

My FALD LED X90J decided to grant me with a couple of dead pixels midscreen. I'm slowly checking out tvs in order to get one eventually, when I see a nice promotion. I think I'll go for OLED this time around.

There's a lot of helpful knowledge and opinions on this thread about different TVs and how they compare. Most of which you can also find on dedicated TV forums and websites.

However, I just want to give my quick review as an actual owner of an LG G5, after upgrading from an LG CX. Whilst I am no TV or picture expert, I can see that the my G5 is wonderfully much brighter than my CX was in all modes. Which was something that was slightly bothering me with the CX. There was talk of diagonal lines, banding, a bad game mode, etc. in expert G5 reviews. However, I have found no trace of these on my set. I even game in 'Game Mode', and I have found no issues during any game I've played. I can't see how Death Stranding 2 could look any better.

Despite the YouTube compression, the jennifergala and Eugene Belsky videos look amazing. Can't make a direct comparison with my old CX as I don't have it anymore, so I can't say if there's more detail. It's certainly brighter though.

I also happily update all firmware whenever it becomes available, and just get on with enjoying my TV.

Bare in mind that HDR on Game mode is currently busted.

Unless LG released a new firmware update this month that I don't know about, they only fixed the issue in Filmaker mode. There is a way to fix HDR while gaming, but that implies you need to be running FM mode.

So, if you're gaming with Game mode on, you're not getting the best HDR experience.



I'll be coming from a FLAD LED TV, so I'm sure I'll spot the differences right way. Hell, when I go into TV retailers I can already spot differences just by looking into mid-tier OLED TVS.

Extended warranty is obligatory IMO. Way too many reports of things failing past the standard warranty period and if it's panel then new one costs as much as a new TV.
My friend has LG C9 which developed swarms of dead pixels near screen borders.

I agree, although extended warranties are a pretty grey area when it actually comes to activate them.

In Portugal, where I'm from, some sellers explicitly say they don't cover burn in, while others don't even mention if they do or not.

Yeah I've definitely learned that by now. I've been "lucky" that with previous TVs they started to show issues while I still have plenty warranty left. Back in 2023 I was very lucky to get such a damned good deal for this TV with five years extra warranty/service.

I'm using the TV now until I receive a call or mail to make an appointment for repairing. This is what it looks like:

I had actually watched that video before I made my G5 purchase, because I could have got the C5 instead.

"Busted" is absolute overkill to describe HDR in Game Mode on the G5, in my opinion. I am playing Death Stranding 2 right now, and the only difference I can see when I flick between the Filmmaker and Game modes, is that Game Mode is slightly brighter. There is no posterization or banding that I can see in any of the scenes. I've watched the sun set and rise multiple times. I've angled the camera to focus on dark parts where some light is shining, and nothing appears out of the ordinary. The only mode that shows any issues is Vivid.

Maybe it's the wrong game to show off the reported problems. Maybe LG fixed things in a recent update. But I'm telling you, after 81 hours with this game, I see nothing wrong with Game Mode. There is a absolutely nothing that stands out to indicate that I'm not getting the best HDR experience.

I'm using game optimizer mode as well. Didn't bother any other mode.

What is your brightness value if I may ask? Because I use 42 C2 and had to lower to a mid 70's to avoid very distracting auto dimming even with GSR and TPC off from service menu. Also set contrast value 85. I'm not too bothered about brightness/contrast values and ok with that. But sometimes still getting auto brightness kicking in.

I will have to double check but pretty sure contrast is 85 as well and brightness is around 70.

The only time I get auto dimming if I take focus away from a screen for a while, and I don't mind that since it helps with burn in issues.

I'm very happy to hear that, because I'm balancing between G4 and G5 and don't know which one to choose.

I can get a G4 for $2K less for 77" size vs G5. I don't think G5 is $2K better 😅.

Edit: Going to pull the trigger on G4. It's at Costco for $2900 including 5 year warranty and free install thrown in.

That's a nice price. Currently the 77" costs 3.500€ here.

I'm targeting a 65" one, but I'll wait until black friday probably.

No banger campaign on the horizon here. Currently G4 65" costs 1800€, G5 2.300€.

Well, it's certainly a nice dilemma to have. My only OLED experiences have been with the CX and G5, so I have no direct G4 knowledge. However, from the RTINGS comparisons, it seems like there's pros and cons for both TVs.

Anyway, like I said, I'm no picture expert, and I can only say what I'm seeing on my G5. And considering how prominent this issue was about HDR in Game Mode, I was expecting to see something blatantly wrong when I flicked between it and Filmmaker. Of course it's been established that the workaround to the highlighted problems is Filmmaker+ALLM. So it's an easy workaround if needed. But honestly, to my eyes, either I'm not using the right content to portray the issue, or LG had the G5 Game Mode issue fixed in an update.

Yeah, normally G4 would be $1000 more here, but a few places have some sales.

I figure during Black Friday G5 will be on sale but will still be high $3K range over here. And G4 will probably be out of stock by then.
 
Well then, I just turned my Sony A95K on and the weird purple rectangle issue is gone, this is odd. Now I'm not sure if there's a point to having Sony come over, because let's say they come to my house next week and the issue hasn't returned.....hmmm, what to do.
 
So initially the plan was that repair service would come check out my Sony A95K, but they just called me and said they will give me a brand new one this Friday . Now that I didn't see coming. Holy crap.
 
I got a 77" G4 about a month ago and I love it so far. I have had a 77" C1 since 2021 and this thing blows the C1 out of the water in terms of brightness,though I will say that I don't see much of a difference in picture quality. I love how it looks hung on my wall. It's so slim and sleek.

Anyone have any experience buying a TV from amazon? I'm thinking of picking up an A95K but I'm worried about shipping and the extended warranty service they offer. I bought a TV from them back in 2008 and that went well, but that was a long time ago.
