But a Sony A95K is a 2022 tv.
I am hoping that once the new models arrive that it will become cheaper. Under 3000 would be nice.
Yeah I thought that I got it to work okay but any time that I would pause a movie/show and then start it again the audio would go out of sync again. Just a complete mess. Don't understand why there is so many issues with audio sync on these things. You would think that a company as big as Sonos would get it figured out.
Hello friend ,,,
What software are you using to analyze the image?I did some testing on re4 REMAKE pc.
I finished it with HGIG, ingame slider +5 from 0 (right as the white suqare disappears) and I noticed some blue clipping in few explosions and ending sunset.
I just relaunched the game and finished the boss again. This time DTM and in game slider set to max as squares disappear at max.... and what do you know? NO CLIPPING.
You can also see the sunset around the sun is less orange on DTM 4000 nits picture. but if I switch that to hgig it kinda restores that, making me thing, the intended look is 4k + dtm.
Took some wcg screenshots. one reports close to 800nits and that I took with hgig. Other reports 4000 nits and thats for DTM.
So the game clearly needs 4000 nits but some effects don't scale to 800 with in-game slider. HGIG is a piece of shit man.
The craziest thing? I think I will start calibrating in-game and in-ps5 system settings with DTM on. That sets the lg c1 for 4000nits tone mapping. Should result in much more dynamic range.
edit: I think vincent from hdtvtest locked people to only use 1 setting and he is not actually correct. Not sure about using pc input for ps5 too
You can take .jxr HDR screenshots with windows gaming stuff. win+g
I don't have the Sonos anymore b/c I couldn't get it to work 100%.
You need to get in really close and the effect is still exaggerated by the camera. Moire effect is only visible on the camera.It's probably just screen mura.
I notice it on both my LG C1s on the Xbox dashboard:
This should be a uniform grey color, but see how basically every pixel is a slightly different shade? That's the mura. It's pretty trippy seeing it up close as it makes the screen almost look like it's made out of paper.
Mura is extremely common on OLED screens. The PSVR2 even has it. It's the sort of thing that once you notice it you can struggle to un-see it (it was a deal-breaker for some with the PSVR2).
Some smarter people have proposed using AI to de-mura OLED screens by dynamically adjusting the brightness of the affected pixels.
I'm still extremely satisfied but I'm sure QDOLED is way better I might just wait for PHOLED
haha same here.I'm mad my C1 isn't giving me a reason to upgrade
I still have my Sony X930e (called the XE9305 here in the UK), picked it up new in 2017, and despite knowing how much better new sets are, I'm weirdly happy with it to this day! Pretty much everyone who visits still comment on the PQ. They did a decent job with this set because I'm someone who normally replaces the main TV every 3, 4 years at the most.
Nah, I have a Sony a80j and a samsung s95B QD OLED, while the samsung gets a bit more bright, the quality between both is very similar and not really worth the upgrade, I just needed a TV for the living room.I'm mad my C1 isn't giving me a reason to upgrade
The one thing that frustrated me about the a80j was the raised blacks and at the time nobody was talking about it lol dude I tried everything and just gave up returned it got the C1 and 2 years later I'm still happy. I'm glad you got the a95k settings dialed in I want a Sony OLED so bad because of the processing but that experience soured me.Oh trust me, this isn't my first TV
I've done everything you can think of, watched several videos by Classy and Tech with KG and such. Lowering these settings really was my last resort. When I say I was disappointed with how games looked when it comes to black levels, that's an understatement. Because it was supposed to be accurate out of the box.
For some reason it isn't with Xbox. I don't have a PS5, but on Reddit I saw an older post of someone with the same issue. Yet the PS5 didn't have this. I'd make photos of how it looks with default settings vs to now, but my phone camera makes it look way darker than it truly is. But a night race in FH5 is supposed to be dark, where you really see the highlights. With default settings the night sky was like medium blue, far from dark blue, it looked washed out. Like how it looks if you set hdmi black level setting wrong.
First I tried with black level slider to 49, didn't make much of a difference. I went lower until I got it at 46. Still far from ideal, so I went to black adjust and putting that at high made it truly great.
RDR2 has proper dark nights now and the lights have never shined this bright in the game, not even on the S95B and that's quite impressive and unexpected. Ideally everything is great out of the box, without having to change a thing, but nope. I don't get it either, it's weird.
On the C9 I never had to change anything regarding brightness and on the S95B I would maybe lower shadow detail just a bit.
Yeah, that TV was damn great. I remember how I first saw Fortnite on it years ago, must have been One X. Super crisp and beautiful colors. But then when I started playing some other games such as Sea of Thieves I noticed how the blooming of bud elements really started to annoy me.
I went back to LG OLED with the C9 after that.
I am loving what I'm seeing of the A95K now that I finally got black levels good on Xbox. Any game I start up I immediately notice that it looks significantly crisper than the S95B, just more detail and I actually managed to get RDR2 looking amazing in HDR. I never managed to get that done on the Samsung. Also tested some Netflix content with Dolby vision, it is glorious. And 1080p content is crisp as hell.
I'm starting to see the hype and praise for Sony TVs. I now see what people mean with motion too, in 30fps games it is nowhere near as juddery as on any other TV. That being said, I am curious to try out some motion interpolation in game mode, see how rdr2 looks that way.
What are absolute must sees for Dolby Vision on Netflix with this TV? And which HDR/DV demos on YouTube?
Yeah on both consoles I had bright or raised blacks even streamed content like Netflix was bad it was frustrating because the image had more of a three dimensional look due to the processing. The a95k was on my radar so hearing your experience have me wanting to give Sony another shot.
Something wrong going on AGAIN with HDR. Not sure if it's on nvidia or microsoft now.
First of all - My go to testing games for HDR are resident evil games. They have good menu with square and I know how many clicks is how many nits with hgig.
But for some time now, the HDR was not engaging in those games. It said on but the screen was very washed out. It was clearly not REALLY on. That is more proven by RTSS osd that is still orange and with HDR it should be RED.
I found on reddit that it's a common issue on Nvidia and you have to launch the game straight up after restarting the pc lol... and it works.
But now there is another issue. While the hdr works, rtss osd is red and so on.... The clicks required on white hdr calibration field has changed from 5 clicks to 2 clicks.
talking about this screen:
Now... this is in all RE games and there was no update. It's clearly something either wrong with the tv or drivers.
I used to see the square disappear on 5 or 6th click. now it's 2.
And with DTM ON, it was the last click that made the square disappear... now it stays on.
edit: Yeah, it is still as it should on PS5 re2make. 5th click. So something is broken with hdr on pc now and I doubt it's re games because it's 2,3 and new 4. I have all installed atm.
edit2: On the note of RE games... RT or not, the re2make uses my whole vram on pc. With RT it will crash after a while of playing. ps5 version is trash with rt (50fps) but without it runs the same as pc verison so 100+fps... but have no vram crashes and hdr issues. Btw that's the new version of re2 on pc. dx11 one is perfefct
yeah I did. Most games dont care about it
Since the sound comes from the screen, the screen vibrating for sound isn't visible by looking at the display right?
sounds like youre talking about BFI.
I have not noticed such a thing at all, no.
it definently makes a difference but LG's oled panels still have its advantages I've gotta agree with Sleepwalker don't expect a night and day difference but the differences are appreciated especially while gaming it feels as if this tech was built for it.
