Hi i just bought and updated my Lg c1 65” today 12/5/2022. The Latest software version that i got is only - 03.21.10 I notice yours is 03.21.20 How do i update to 03.21.20? Btw im in Singapore
How do you go about setting Eye Comfort for Permanent Gaming Picture Settings, so that it keeps Eye Strain at bay whatever you do on Gaming... My TV annyoingly will either go into this Setting after a few minutes or after many hours near the end of my Gaming... It will just suddely mid Game go Black and then Switch itself, and it does not seem to start in that Mode at all... Any Ideas on what I have got wrong, or how it should be set up? I am Neurologically Sensitive to bright light, so I bought this TV to help with that.
I’ve i’m going to run in circles with these other peoples videos on how to Adjustit the TV. They just jump from one section to another don’t let you see what they’re doing! And I found you, A breath of fresh air! You are clear and concise do everything in one section before you move to the next section and you give plenty of time to see what you’re doing and pause if need be you thank you thank you good job!
If anyone is on the fence between the C1 and newer model C2. Your gonna pay 1500 dollars more for the C2 for 20-25% more screen brightness. I would go with the C1
Just purchased a 77” c1 and have set it up exactly as your video and I Love it . Thank you so much for your content it was very helpful. From Melbourne Australia 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I agree with the reviewer about Dolby vision cinema being a little dark although I don’t like the artificial colour of cinema home. Personally after weeks of tweaking, I settled with Cinema mode and added both Auto Dynamic Contrast and Peak Brightness to medium. It gives you a little more shadow detail and doesn’t quite wash out the colour as much. Anyone who’s struggling to get the right settings should try this. I know every panel is different but I like colour and brightness both at 50 too.
I watch football on RU-vid TV on this TV...Any recommendations for me? Some games in the stream are perfect. Others, seem grainy. It drives me nuts. Thank you for any advice!
I thought I was going crazy because I couldn’t see almost any detail in the darks during Dolby Vision gaming. It was really making me regret purchasing this TV but after turning off Dolby Vision the picture looks so much clearer for me. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Review Fella. Followed your video and used all your recommended settings. Simple to follow though had to pause as I adjusted the TV for each step! Brilliant picture now. Thank you again.
4:59 the correct setting for logo brightness is “HIGH” for full protection against any kind of image retention or burn in. It says so in the owners manual.
Yep: Over the years many expert calibrators have found fault with settings sometimes recommended by the folks at Rtings. It turns out some of the editors and/or technicians at Rtings are human and they make mistakes... and sometimes they are just plain wrong in their recommendations. Anyway, as you identified and as specified in the LG Owners manual, the ideal setting for OLED panel protection against burn in / image retention is by setting the Logo Brightness set to HIGH. In defense of anyone confused over this control setting, rest assured this is easily one of the more confusing control settings because LG failed to clarify what this setting actually does. The primary confusion is caused by - 1) The difference in what the question "sounds like" it is asking. Versus - 2) What LG actually intended. The "INCORRECT ASSUMPTION" by many owners and reviewers is - LOW means the logo will be displayed at a lower brightness level thus protecting the panel and HIGH would mean the logo will be displayed at its maximum brightness level and could result in burn-in. THIS IS INCORRECT! - The actual decision being addressed by this control setting is: "How aggressive do you want the automatic control algorithm to be when it comes to handling the dimming of Logos? OFF: No handling. No dimming. Logos will be displayed at their brightest. LOW: The TV algorithm will be set at the least aggressive setting in regards to the automatic dimming the Logos (Logos will be slightly dimmed, i.e. not at full brightness) HIGH: Sets the TV algorithm to its Highest most aggressive dimming protection (Logos will be at the dimmest setting (i.e., resulting in dimmer logos for maximum protection of the OLED panel.) Confusing? Yep! - It's like the confusion surrounding wire gauge sizes - i.e., The larger the wire gauge number - the smaller the wire. (e.g., a 22ga wire is smaller that a 10ga wire)
there are so many hidden menus. I pretty much followed these settings and have the smoothness I wanted during Amazon streaming it also blows my mind that the TV remote can be used on the xbox
Turning on the blue reduction filter calibrates the TV correctly. The TV always looks like it has a blue tint. The filter completely takes care of that.
These settings really helped me. I mainly stream SDR/HDR content using the built in apps and they really made the picture quality pop. I use my ps5 for gaming only and not streaming
@@TheReviewFella since I made the post I realised the ps5 forces video content to be HDR even if it's SDR that's why the picture looks horrible plus game mode does something to it aswell it's more convenient to use the in built apps so I don't have to change settings all the time
Not sure as I’ve only changed the settings as in the video and they’re available to me. You’ve probably got some AI or picture mode selected that greys out some options (don’t know which one though). You could factory reset your TV if it’s important to you and start the picture setup again. Bars above and below Netflix content are because the content is being shown in its original format and not stretched.
@@TheReviewFella ok thanks for replying , yes very important to me as wanted the 55inch for the screen, a waste losing so much screen, i will try what you said and reset 👍
hi there, when you say the G1 and C1 have the same panel I know there was lots of discussion if In fact the C1 has the Evo panel but I thought from memory the 1st run (batch) of the C1 did not have the Evo panel. either way I appreciate the ease of your expectation of the settings. thank you for making this such a short but with all the information anyone would need in order to understand each of the different options in the setting menus
Hi and thanks for your comment. That’s how I understand it too. I bought my C1 in late 2021 and it does have the evo panel. On the C1 the evo panels are often more pinkish on the left. First generation C1s don’t have this (as far as I know).
I don't use the same settings as you, but this video was MASSIVELY helpful in helping me find the perfect settings for me. I've been trying to figure out why my PS5 and 4k Blurays looked perfect but RU-vid and Prime Video looked strangely blurry(like motion blur was enabled) and this guide finally helped me figure it out. I had no idea the HDR settings were only set when accessing HDR content. Thanks to this video now EVERYTHING on my TV looks absolutely gorgeous.
Do you have the LG C1 or G1, or are you thinking of buying one of them? What do you think of this TV and the picture settings? How do you set your TV up?
thanks for your settings . just bought the 55c1 and i've been looking for decent settings. i use a freesat box for general tv and your sdr settings are pretty good. i also have a windows pc and firestick connected to the other hdmi's. do you have settings for these as well? i use the pc for general web brousing and youtube but i can't seem to get a decent picture. keep up the great work it's much appreciated.
Thanks. Depends what you're streaming via the Firestick. If it's HD or HDR content then those settings are covered in my video. I stream from a Google Chromecast and just use the HD/HDR settings as in the vid. Not sure about the PC as it's not something I use myself through my TV, but as the TV is just acting like a large monitor I'd try and tweak the resolution and display settings on the PC itself.
Wow! Thanks for this. I'm so excited as I have a 55" one of these on order, arriving this Thursday, and I really want the best picture I can get, so I will be following your instructions to the letter. I will have it hooked up to various consoles and DVD player (I will be using an HDMI splitter to give me extra IN connections) and also my Surround sound 5.1. Have you any calibration tips for sound? I've been reading bitstream is the way to go? I see you favour the onboard speakers, but are there options for setting sound to Surround sound as I want to experience the full cinematic experience? Also, do I need to go through these steps for each individual HDMI port, or do you just do it once, and it's applied to all connections? Sorry for all the questions, but I SO WANT the picture that you have.....it's incredible! Once again fab video and thanks so much for sharing your tips with us.
Hi and thanks, I’m glad you find it useful. For sound, I just use the internal speakers because my Bose soundbar is too big to fit in front of my C1, that’s the only reason. So I don’t calibrate sound. I set it to Standard, sometimes Clear Voice Pro for movies. HDR is auto set for native apps and it shouldn’t matter what HDMI port it comes through. You may need to update the picture settings if you use different input sources for HDR such as built in apps, Google TV dongle, Firestick etc. Thanks for the feedback and enjoy your new TV!
What would be considered HDR content? I use Game Optimizer for gaming on my PS5. I use your SDR settings for when I’m watching cable tv (and RU-vid hopefully that is correct). I use Cinema Home for Netflix viewing as I’m usually watching Ultra HD content. I don’t understand what content would fall under your HDR picture modes though? Hopefully those questions made sense. I’m almost all done tweaking thanks to your help. New G1 owner just trying to understand everything
No problem. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technology that extends the range of colour, contrast and brightness, which improves details in the shadows and highlights, so you get a more impactful image. Such TV shows and movies will be listed as HDR or Dolby Vision near the title. Hope that helps a little. You’ll mainly find this content via Amazon, Netflix and Apple TV for example. Some games are also HDR.
Thanks for this video. It’s very helpful. It would have been excellent if you had not been moving so quickly through the instructions. Other than that, it’s great!
Great video, thanks. What do you think of filmmaker mode ? I use FM for SDR and HDR. Also do you prefer TruMotion to be disabled? I am ok with warm 50, so have kept it. Just need to figure out if I Want to go with FM or perhaps another mode.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it. I’m not a great fan of Filmmaker mode. But if you’re watching a movie in a dark room, and want to experience the visuals as the creator intended, then that’s the mode for you. I prefer one of the Expert settings. TruMotion seems to work fine for me set as default. I’d say whatever mode you prefer is the right setting for you. None of the settings are mandatory. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks for this video. I was wondering what would be the setting to choose for SDR video games?? For a PS2 for example (far less than 1080p) or an xbox 360 for an example with 1080p hardware.
I really like your video. Thanks! I was wondering if you ever tried the other presets on game optimizer? If so I was wondering what made you prefer standard over say like rpg or fps mode?
I use standard..I tried your setting, but almost the same with standard gives more detail in HD content on streaming services such as Amazon or HBO max. Dynamic range low and sharpness 25. Remember when streaming sharpness is lost.. totally different than a Blu-ray or game.
if this helps at all. if you find your white balance is greyed out when applying settings you might need to turn the blue light function off. i had the same problem when applying the settings with my firestick and found that if i had the blue light set to on then my white balance was greyed out and when i turned it off my white balance setting returned.
Thanks for the video. Im a new owner of the G1 and have a question, keep in mind I’m not the most tech savvy. I mostly game and watch Netflix. For gaming I do enable game mode but what settings would I follow as far as OLED Pixel Brightness, Adjust Contrast etc?
@@TheReviewFella I got ya appreciate the response. I had one other question/issue when watching any type of Netflix Ultra HD 4k I’m not seeing the “Dolby Vision” being displayed under picture settings, why is that? It just says HDR Mode standard, cinema, filmmaker etc.. and I’m trying all different types of high def content. Does it only say that if I’ve got a high end receiver outputting lossless audio? Hopefully that makes sense. I’m referring to the picture mode shown at 6:15 mine doesn’t show that.
Not sure about that one sorry. Things that spring to mind: Are you using the app on a Dolby Vision compatible device? To check this make sure you’re using the TVs built in Netflix app, rather than one on a dongle. Also, do you have the highest tier Netflix plan that streams Dolby Vision? If your internet speed is low, Netflix will drop the stream quality. Streaming quality should be set to High according to Netflix (must be a setting in the app)? Try streaming some free Dolby Vision content via Apple TV. That’s what I used in the video to test. Sorry I can’t help more.
@@TheReviewFella I found out the culprit. Thanks for pointing out trying different sources. So I was using my PS5 to watch Netflix this whole time and I guess it turns out PS5 doesn’t do true Dolby Vision. I ditched the PS5 and instead used the LG app and it’s now displaying Dolby Vision under picture settings.🙏🏼
thanks! Quick question did you go into settings and turn “hdmi deep color” to 4k? Or did you leave that off? When I turn that on most my content is put through HDR.
You're TV has the same OS installed I believe. I'm not entirely familiar with the UQ8000, but you should have the fundamental picture settings as with the C2/G2. Therefore you can still select Expert Bright Space (Daytime) etc, as I have.
I am going to follow your recommendations but probably just leave mine at warm 30. I am bummed out to find out there was a plastic film on back of tv I did not notice. I had someone install my tv on a wall mount and now I cant take the back film off. I am probably going to have to leave it on now and just hope it does not cause me any problems.
Nowhere does LG tell you to remove it (although I took it off mine). And in fact it’s not that easy to remove. It doesn’t cover any vents and I don’t think it will cause you any issues, so don’t worry about it and enjoy your TV.
Wait please explain to me how Warm50 is the most accurate? Take a piece of white paper and compare the white on the tv with that piece of paper. Either I am blind or when you set it to 0 it is actually white and when you set it to warm 10+ it's just yello-brownish..
I believe the accuracy refers to colour grading etc in movies and TV shows, which is much warmer than real life. Targeting 6500k neutral white. To try and reflect the content as the creator intended. You may also be used to looking at much cooler displays, so it can take a bit of time to get used to. I find warm 50 too warm, although if you had your TV calibrated, that’s how it would be set. However, there are a wealth of TV settings to choose from. For example I prefer Warm 30, but you can cool it down more. Or choose Standard as a picture mode, for a very cool image. But light skin tones may look too cold and blue. However I’m not a TV calibrator and others may be able to answer your question in more depth.
Same as me then, and I've tried to replicate the issue and no matter what I do I can't. I'd be tempted to reset the TV back to factory defaults. Then reinstall the updates and try again. Sorry I can't be of any more help.
You’re welcome. What is your source? In built apps? Cable box? Usb dongle?Expert modes are only available for SDR content, so you won’t get them with HDR/Dolby Vision. The settings for those are in the video. If you are streaming SDR content via a dongle, try the in built apps instead.
Standard Dynamic Range content on Netflix might be listed as HD or 4K (shown near the title on the information page of the film or show). HDR content is usually listed as HDR, HDR10 or Dolby Vision) depending on the TV or device you’re using. Hope that helps.
What do you prefer? Try them both and stick with your preference. Filmmaker Mode will show content the way the creator intended. I find it can be a little dark though, particularly for SDR content.
It’s only available for content that supports it. So if you’re streaming Netflix which could be Dolby Vision for example, or HDR through Amazon Prime, it’s not available. You should see it for SDR content such as your standard channels on cable TV. The video explains all those settings. Thanks.
Good evening! Not everyone just TV for movies only, can someone with a good heart indicate the perfect settings for watching Sky Sport 24 or football matches or "normal" TV?
Normal TV is SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) and is covered in the first part of the video. Sky Sports is either HD or 4K? So is also SDR. You also might want to tweak the motion settings if you suffer motion blur during fast moving sports.
The 2 tvs are are znearly like for like but but the G1 has a better brightness than the C1 because the G1 has LGs new evo panel amd the sound is better on the G1 also. As far as tvs go for gamei G these 2 tvs are the beat tvs you can get on the market for ps5 hdr gaming
Big thank you for these settings.looking nice on the c1. What settings do you use for normal hd ie sky HD or netflix content in normal hd mode . Many thanks.
Thanks for the feedback. Normal HD is standard dynamic range (not HDR or Dolby Vision), therefore I just leave it set to my preferred SDR settings (same settings when watching cable TV, as shown in the video).
For the best picture for sdr content is it better to leave the colour gamut to native in the expert bright picture mode rather than auto detect? I'm trying to get the best and most accurate picture
@@TheReviewFellaI thought that auto detect was best, thanks for the reply. In the video you left it on native hence the confusion. this really is a great TV for the price these days
I think you’re right. The in menu guide isn’t very clear in explaining if High or Low gives more protection. The reason to consider setting it Low is if you're gaming. Sometimes the UI elements in games can be mistaken for logos, so gamers might want this set to Low (or at least experiment with the setting). Thanks for clarifying!
Hi, you won't be able to tell for sure without going into the engineer/service menu. And for that you'll need the service remote. However, as far as I know, the C1's built in the latter half of last year and early this year do have the evo panel. The evo panel usually has a slight pink tint on the left side of the screen if you look at the TV off centre, and slight blue tint on the right side. This is usually the best way to tell outside of the service menu, and it's down to a filter or screen coating applied to the evo panels.
so it's safe to set the pixel brightness for SDR to 100 in gaming ? i get the best picture when this cranked up to 100 in both SDR and HDR but i heard for SDR it will have some risks on the TV if this was up to 100 any truth to this ?
Maximum brightness has been linked to more risk of image retention, but if you have all the screen protection features turned on, and play different games and watch a lot of different content, then the risk is less.
@The Review Fella thank you I was like it picture mode when I hit cinema it sets it for all there was no dolby next any of tye image modes like your t.v. had next to cinema.
Hi, I've received c1 a week ago. Really big jump with my ps5, but disappointed with 1080p videos on youtube, and dolby vision tv-shows on Netflix gains a lot of grainy noise in the image. very often think image is too dark, I prefer to have it a little bit brighter. also, it remembers the last HDMI port that was picked, that's why every morning when I want to watch some news, it launches my PlayStation automatically first, so I need to turn it off, and then switch to another HDMI, and open youtube. Mb you have some suggestions?
Mine does that, when I've been playing my PS5 at night, the PS5 turns back on in the morning when I turn the TV on. For me I just change channel before turning my TV off at night. However to disable the feature on the PS5, go to Settings, System, HDMI, and disable HDMI Device Link.
Hi i just bought and updated my Lg c1 65” today 12/5/2022. The Latest software version that i got is only - 03.21.10 I notice yours is 03.21.20 How do i update to 03.21.20? Btw im in Singapore
I have my C1 set to auto update. I also pressed the button to manually check for updates when I first set it up. But after that the TV updates itself. It’s possible updates are different by region as I’m in the UK.
@@TheReviewFella Thanks, wow ur replies are lightning. Yeah i’ve checked, the software updates are region dependable. Your videos are great , im subscribing, keep it up👍🏻
@@TheReviewFella it’s a strange one. Cause cold 20 makes the image look brighter and sharper but using warm 30 makes it look more movie and immersive if that makes sense? Like if I was trying to get things to pop for showing off I’d probably use the cold 20 but watching movies the warm 30 I think works better
@@TheReviewFella also I feel there needs to be 2 separate settings for sdr 4k and then lower res. I feel your settings are good for 4k but not for low res stuff. Would love to see you input on this
I need you guidance please!!! I’ve asked customer with no luck. I have a LG G1 and when I play video games using the PS5 the TV will turn off for no reason?…. I’m so frustrated. Please help me.
If you mean it turns off in the middle of gaming, then I'm not sure. This started to happen with my Chromecast on my C1 but it's stopped now. Things I'd be tempted to try are...a different plug socket and/or power bank/extension lead. I'd also swap out the HDMI cables for something else (unless you are using the PS5 original which should be fine). Sorry I can't help more.
I can't take off Energy saving mode It's not in Support menu can any one help me or is it something lg did in there last update so you can't take off the energy saving mode so it looks So dimmer due to the c2 coming out
I never had the CX to test so I can't really answer that. Auto Detect might give you a more accurate gamut based on content. I quite like mine set to Native. It seems to work for me.
It’s my understanding that C1’s built in the latter half of 2021 and after, have the EVO panel. This can be confirmed by the slight pink and blue tint at the edges. HDTVTest also confirmed the same.
@@TheReviewFella Thanks, I have tried streaming Amazon prime, that doesn't seem to switch to HDR. I have another question, I'm currently watching walking dead on amazon prime, there is a character on screen with a black background, the background looks like it flickering with different shades of grey black, is there any way I can stop this? Thanks I'm advanced .
There is a new series called Night Sky on Amazon Prime. It’s HDR and will put the TV in HDR mode. Or search for HDR demo on RU-vid. Not sure what the other issue is sorry. If it’s only on that show then it could be the broadcast itself rather than a particular TV setting.
I've watched a few video's like this, but always seem to have major screen judder regardless. Its frustrating and seems worse when using recommended settings.
It's not something I've experienced at all. Oddly my brother picks it up in everything, so not sure if he and myself have different tolerances for blur/judder maybe.
I’ve just tested this by streaming Stranger Things in Dolby Vision via Netflix, and all aspect ratios can be selected. I’m using the Netflix app via a Google TV dongle though, not sure if that makes any difference.
SDR and HDR can be streamed via RU-vid so the TV will select the correct mode for the content. Unless you specifically choose a HDR title, your content will be SDR.
The C1 is a great TV. Some of the reflection examples in videos are extreme. You might notice it more if you have a bright window opposite the TV, where the sun streams in. If you’re unsure you could always try it. The retailer I bought mine from gave me 30 days to return for any reason at their cost. For a full refund or exchange.
Why can't I get into the cinema screen setting on my 65 c1? Can you help? Also I can't get into peak brightness. They are both grayed out. 16:9 is not there it says original. Please help with the cinema screen setting.
I can’t replicate that issue, but certain settings may be unavailable depending on the source content. Cinema is available for me on my C1 for SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision content. Do you have this issue whatever you’re watching? What is your source? Cable TV? TV apps? Dongle? I’d also be tempted to factory reset the TV and start again.
The TV auto detects Dolby Vision and puts the TV into Dolby Vision HDR mode. It pushes brightness etc up to 100%. I leave this as it is (as auto set by the TV). As shown in the video.
Have you enabled 120Hz Output under Settings/Screen and Video? Also some games support 120Hz but you have to select Performance mode instead of Fidelity mode from within the games settings. Also go to Saved Data and Game/App Settings from the PS5 Settings menu, and turn on Performance Mode.
