Game console, using C2 42"
The game optimiser mode is rubbish though, dims the screen way too much. I'm using standard HDR mode.

Brought a LG C1 65" a week ago. I'm super happy with it, coming from a Samsung qled I must say it's a upgrade in image quality.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the whole OLED business. My laggy Samsung RU 7179 has been pissing me off for a while now and I want to replace it at some point, so I remembered this thread. Is the "LG OLED 42 C27 LA" good? Any of you guys have it? I plan to use it as my sole TV for everything basically, and especially gaming of course. I don't need anything especially fancy, but I really would love a TV that's snappy and quick when I'm cycling through menus, opening apps and stuff.

With windows 11 22H2, there is finally HDR calibration tool.
Additionally, You can go to system - display - advanced display
and there you can see your max luminance. Mine was 1500 nits and I calibrated to 800 (with hgig).
Not sure what will use this calibration but it is there.
Also, I noticed that AUTO HDR is in system level hdr settings. I only enable HDR for hdr enabled games since I never liked auto hdr but maybe it's better now ?

LG CX, all inputs set to PC.
i've found the PC input setting resolves faint detail the best.
for example, i was playing some mario game on the switch (super mario 3d world, i think), and some of the menu backgrounds (e.g., pause menu, i think) have a slight texture.
you could only see the texture when the input was set to PC; when set to game console, the texture was completely gone.
though when set to PC, you disable a lot of other settings, like gradient smoothing... but whatever.
disclaimer: i dont have a ps5/xbox series x, only older consoles and PC.

I use game mode for ps5 since I use it as a blu ray player and you get settings blocked if you set it to PC

I’ve been into OLED for some time now. Started with a 55” B8 (which has become my basement TV), upgraded to a 65” C9, and finally I’ve now upgraded to a 77” C2, which has been freaking incredible.
I won’t be upgrading again for many years now. Maybe in 6-7 years when the next Xbox/PS6 come out, if there’s anything worthwhile to upgrade to then.

Welp, my LG C1 has officially kicked the bucket after about 6/7 months.
Turned it on this morning and noticed I had the black line of doom on my panel, luckily I'm still under warranty so have already raised this with LG support, and tbh sometimes I forget it's there but damn I was hoping I'd be lucky and avoid any issues.
At least it's happened whilst I'm still under warranty!

You tried a manual pixel refresh? Might be worth a shot, but tbh if you're still under warranty it's probably best to get a new panel.

Yeah man thanks for the suggestion, already did that this morning but didn't fix it, only thing i could do now is probably unplug the TV and let the capacitors drain but I'm happy to wait for the LG Team to come and replace my panel.
I'm in no immediate rush as my warranty runs till April 23 but have already opened the support ticket so hopefully will have updates within the next week or so.

Not that anyone cared but I'm a boring fecker so just updating on my LG C1's early funeral.
After coming to a deal with the supplier which I bought the TV from (Very UK), they are sending me out a brand new replacement TV and will be collecting the old one upon it's arrival so I have upgraded and have gone for a 42" LG C2 OLED, which is albeit a little smaller than my previous C1 48" OLED but I prefer the smaller size and have heard great things about the C2's brightness which is great for me being in a very bright room with lots of natural sun light. It arrives tomorrow and I can't wait to boot up ol' Ragnarok on it!

Just got the Sony A80J 77”. Wanted the A90J, but the 83” was over my budget and 65” was the only other choice, wish they had a 77” option. Either way, the A80J looks stunning to me. Any advice? I’m running eARC through an Onkyo RZ50 receiver which gives me more 2.1 ports, but I’m afraid it might introduce lag.

she did however sneak off with the last piece of breakfast bagel i made that morning so maybe that explains the guilty expression

Great choice. A80J is a killer tv.
You can get an HDMI 2.1 switch for HDMI 4 if you’re concerned about lag and have the need. It’s obviously not ideal, but great if you have multiple 2.1 devices.

Still a skeptic about the longevity of OLED TVs, but damn if they aren’t amazing to enjoy while they last. The contrast and viewing angles really are stunning.

nice, I went from a 55" KS8000 to a 55" S95B

My toddler threw a toy at my ks8000 and I was thinking of s95 or a c1 since c1 here is much cheaper and still available, is it night and day from ks8000?
Ks8000 was an absolute monster tv of its time

I'm hoping to really break it in over the Thanksgiving weekend once I'm back home from my parents' but it's very pretty so far and being able to take advantage of all the fancy new features of the PS5 & XBSX has been nice even if i haven't really had time/energy to play anything with how busy work has been this past month
I got lucky and scored an open box from Best Buy for $900 back before Halloween and it's actually gone up in price since then

If u ask me tvs should be with u for atleast half a decade even more if they still are working
So a little bit brighter and faster chip I think would go along way in those 5 6 years
But if ur the type of guy who changes tv every year or 2 then I would suggest wait for c3

You’d need to use that fine tune gamma setting. How am I handling it? I’m not. I’m skipping out on VRR mode, which pains me as a Gsync snob on PC. But I just can’t justify having to tweak the setting manually for every game, and choosing a locked frame rate of 60 or 30 with 4K visuals has been preferable to me over dealing with a degraded, washed out image that completely defeats the point of buying an OLED. VRR in all forms hurts image quality too much to be useful, especially when games are better optimized for stable frame rates on consoles. PC is a different story and I wouldn’t game without Gsync, but I also don’t have an OLED monitor so any effect isn’t as noticeable.

They doesn't handle it at all.
Everything that is not 120hz with vrr, is more washed out.
I could not notice anything in Ragnarok thout.
But if you launch some darker game on pc and swich 30,60,120, you will see black levels change. Look at the coat in the background of this transparent re2 menu:
What I don't know... is if playing at fixed 60hz without also have different gamma than fixed 120.
I know that vrr defaults gamma to 120hz and everything else is off... but when playing without vrr on fixed HZ, maybe 60hz is also producint good results?
What I want out of playstation is to allow 120hz fixed output always on. No matter if game is 30,40 or 60.

Picked up the Alienware AW3423DWF QD-oled monitor. It's a thing of beauty. No complaints at all. I was concerned about the ultrawide aspect ratio but I got used to it almost immediately.

42 inch models were still getting older WBC panels despite being called "evo" on the box, because "evo" in reality is just a marketing term from LG Electronics (not the panel maker LG Display) and has no real meaning.
One of the letters in the serial number printed on the box mean the panel version.
2021 LG OLED C1 + G1 Owner's Thread + FAQ - No...
www.avsforum.com
- P - LGD OLED OBM/WBE
- Q - LGD OLED OBM/WBC
- W - LGD OLED OCM/WBE
- Y - LGD OLED OCM/WBC"
WBE is the newest panel type (also note that WBE has 2 versions - older 2021 one and newer 2022 version called "EX" by LG Display, but I'm not sure if there is any way to tell which one you have, in general 2022 models should be equipped with EX but there are some exceptions like 42 inch C2 models)

Hey folks.
Recently upgraded from lg 55b9 to sony 65a80k and unfortunately i didnt hit the panel lottery this time.
I notice this whilce watching barbarians on disney+ and i guess my tv has banding. I dont know if the banding i am seeing is the worst possible banding but it sure can get very disturbing if you know wehere to look at it.
So i have three questions,
Can it be fixed?
If not is it under waranty?
Is it really that big of a deal?
My phone applied a night vision so it doesnt look that bad in real life.

How long have you had it? Sometimes this will go away after some usage, you'll generally not really notice it unless testing for it

Had the same thing with my CX when I first purchased it and it's now perfect.
Talked about it here:
See if you can find something like the manual pixel refresher in the settings (not sure what Sony call it but it should be there somewhere).

I have the f version and I've never heard it. I think yours has an extra fan because of the gsync module.

Don't know why the F version have a fan when Samsung doesn't. But yeah, two fans in a monitor is annoying.
