Thanks so much for this, I have my RTX 3060 hooked up to my LG C155in and couldn't work out why it wasn't running in 120hz. Tried your tutorial and it kept on reverting back to 60hz. Stole the HDMI high speed cable from my Xbox Series X and voila! now running 3840x2160 120hz , HDR is also not flickering now when G-SYNC is enabled. Thanks again MGW !!
I didn't know that there were different TV and PC resolution settings in Windows. Couldn't find out why my C2 was limited to 60hz. Thank you very much!
hello and thank You. LG C1 + RTX 4080 Super user here. TV was set to 3840x2160 in NVIDIA Control panel upper TV settings ("Ultra HD, HD, SD") and 60 Hz. when changed to 100 Hz, or 120 Hz, TV was flickering as hell. I have changed the resolution to the PC setting at the bottom and now everything is working even with HDR always on. thank You!
Also to achieve 120hz make sure Game Optimiser is turned on via the lg tv menu. Mine was off be default and was only showing 60hz. But you are an absolute legend - thank you for your video. I have search’s the web endlessly for this information🙌🏼
Great video, for those of you who can't get it to work, it has to be your HDMI cable. I have an expensive monster 4k cable and it turns out it is not HDMI 2.1 high speed, good luck.
Great info, I just hooked up my new LG c2 to my pc and it was showing 60hz. Thought my cable was not correct but after changing it to the pc setting which I initially didn't see it's now 120hz!! Thanks for the info!!
Thanks. Managed to get 100hz on my C1 77 finally. Also 3000 series card not required as my old 2080ti is getting 100+ fps on Doom Eternal on Nightmare.
I really liked all the info you have shared. I am building my new rig and already have the Intel Core i9 12900K cpu and will have my EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 Gaming Ultra vid card in two days. The rig will be running on Windows 11 Pro and 64 GB DDR5@4800 MT/s, along with 5.1 discrete full surround supported with an extra sound card. I am considering the LG 55" C1 as this rig is for gaming and home theatre advantages. I've been wanting an OLED for picture quality and they will probably only get better in the future, (QLED).
@@Ishh__M Good to hear about your rig. Did you get the tip about only using a Certified Ultra Fast HDMI cord less then 8 feet for your 4K? If you use a slower cheaper cord more than 8 feet long, you will not get the 4 K @ 120 Hz refresh rate. I'm using a Certified Ultra 8K 4 ft HDMI cord, and I am getting 4K res 120 Hz. What are you using for a cpu cooler? I'm running the ASUS ROG Ryugin II 360, and my MOBO is the ASUS Z690-E which supports 4 MVNe M.2 4th Gen SSD's. I'm running a Samsung 2 TB V-Nand 980 Pro MVNe M.2 4th Gen and two 1TB EVO 870 MVNe M.2 3rd Gen, (which I already owned still in the box). I have all the video of the build, but have not started to edit it yet. I should do that this weekend and upload it to my RU-vid channel. If you go and subscribe, you will get a notification when I put the vid up.
@@capnstevoanythinggoes I ended up getting a rocket fish hdmi from Best Buy, I had the HDMI cert on it. It’s been great. Play Spider-Man remastered at 4k120 right now lol. As for a cooling I’m running the Corsair H150i elite LCD AIO. I have an Asus z690-E mobo, firecuda 530 2tb & g drive 1tb (I had laying around) for storage. Also some Corsair ram 64gb 5600. Love this build. Will never go back to console.
@@Ishh__M Awesome! What size C1 do you have? Once you invest in the top hot stuff, you will never be satisfied with less. When you pay less, you usually get less. Even the same cheaper version titled part has less quality components and won't last as long, or perform as well. Upgrades are easier too. My one and only console was Super Ninento. I started upgrading and building my own rigs right after the release of the original Crisis. I do remember playing Pong when it was the hottest thing out. One othe concern on the C1 is the burn in factor possibility on the screen. If you haven't done so already, watch some RU-vid vids on how to deal with lowering the odds for you. I took all my icons off the desktop and put solid black screen. There is no light to burn in if left on. I hid the taskbar, and if I need it, I just put the cursor at the bottom of the screen for it to pop up. I've been playing Escape From Tarkov again. Had to start all over from scratch. My build is not just for good gaming, I will be doing a lot of video editing and working at 4K. My other rig still runs great, but it is 6th Gen Core i7 and did not support 4K. Another reason is I'm a wannabe practicing guitar/singer/muscian, (guitar mainly), and put digital music recording software on all three of my pc rigs.
@@capnstevoanythinggoes I have a 55 C1 in my bedroom that I run the pc on. 77in C1 I’m the living room. Best tvs. I had CXs before but stated with c6s and fell in love. Yea once you’re in your in deep lol. To prevent burn in I make sure nothing is just left on idle not being used. I tell guest that too.
I'm about to go pick up the c1 I'm excited 😊 I searched alot but this seems like a great monitor to have. I have steam engine and they have some really nice moving wallpapers I will use to try to avoid burn in. Next goal....save for rtx 3090 by the time I save enough there'll be rtx 6000 lol
Some games run on borderless windowed mode even if you ask them to run at full screen, so I advise to turn g-sync on for windowed mode as well just in case.
I try to turn HDR on and it goes on for a second then turns off. Any ideas? It won't stay on, and I don't see a SDR slider. Only one slider that's not labeled.
I am so sorry Matt, I have been away from RU-vid for last 2 months. Can you provide me more details on what is your Graphic card? also make sure that you are using latest Nvidia drivers if it is Nvidia Card. if there HDR doesn't work then you can do this: Set custom resolution using Nvidia Control panel. USE RGB Full and use 10 bit color. Apply this and then go to Windows Display settings and turn on HDR from there. Let me know.
I'd like to note for AMD Radeon GPUs, you have to go in to the AMD Adrenalin software under Gaming/Global Graphics/Display and the first slider is VRR. Enable it otherwise the C1 won't be able to use Freesync properly. Now you'll have 40-120hz Freesync range.
Do you know why it doesnt change to 10bit when I turn on HDR? Also, the sample video in Windows 11 doesnt play properly. I have a GTX 1080 and 8600K. I am only able to get up to 2k120 and 4k60 but 10 bit wont turn on for either.
For those that are having issues enabling HDR in nvidia settings/windows settings, I had to make my refresh rate 60hz in order for it to work. I guess my system can't run HDR at 120hz. If there is a solution for this please let me know but that's how I got HDR enabled and working in conjuction for both in game settings and windows/nvidia settings. Hope this helps.
In the description its mentioned that you need a RTX3000 series to hit 120mhz@4K, RTX2000 won't cut it. I got an RTX3070TI, but had the a similar issue, thought I was using a "high speed"HDMI cable. Went and got a cheap, but decent 8k 120mhz HDMI cable, my problem was solved.
No you just need to have a DisplayPort to hdmi2.1 converter, my old 2080 could get 4k120hz in 10bit HDR with the adapter. Depends on what video card you have.
Thank you very much. I seem to have an issue with the hdr portion. Everytime i click to turn it on, it automatically flickers black for a second and turns back off. Can you help me with that?
@@MyGadgetsWorld it's an rtx 2080 and just realized that it doesn't support hdr at 4k120hz since rtx 2080 is an hdmi 2.0b... but it worked with 4k60hz, but i had to revert back to 4k120hz without hdr due to the fact my tv just turns (green, blue and etc..) randomly. Not sure why
Thanks a lot for this video. I have an LG OLED GI, and an Asus GTX 1050TI graphic card in the connected PC. The stated HDMI interface of the card is 2.0b and stated max resolution is 7680x4320. The connection to the LG OLED TV is through an Onkyo AVR whose specs state 4K for the HDMI inputs and for the HDMI output it states HDCP2.2. Will the settings described in this video work for my configuration. Thanks for any advice.
Just fcking helpful, I'd spent almost a month trying out the fcking hdr, I have a laptop nitro 5 with 3050 and cx lg and I just thought, I couldnt use this features. You really explained everythig so well, thanks mate
You CAN get the PC to run on the LG OLED at 4k120 with older graphics cards. You just can't do it through HDMI 2.0. it has to be through displayport 1.3 or higher. Just get a HDMI 2.1 cable and a HDMI to display port adapter that supports 4k 120 and you're set. Can be done through USB C too.
you can but there is no way you can achieve anything close to 120fps in todays games in a 120hz monitor. You will need to lower the resolution so you can get close to 120 or whatnot. But yeah you can do 4k120 out of nvidia cards with reduced chroma
There are probably more brands to choose from today, but I have been using a Cable Matters displayport 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter for over a year with good results on a 2070S.
How do you change the hertz for just the actual tv? I don’t use it for gaming just tv watching, Netflix seems fine and smooth but normal television is choppy and not smooth in motion, such as hand movements or walking
Nice video first of all! Now I am in debate, should I switch Odyssey G9 for LG C1 48 as primary PC monitor, only do games and watch movies + surf on youtube and browser?
I’ve connect my PC with to the TV via hdmi and it just says no signal. The PC picks up the tv on display settings but can get anything to display on the TV. Tried different hdmi ports and no joy
I really appreciate your video. I didn't even know how to get to the home screen or to pull up my VRR info, thank you! Now I have a question. My screen will be set up perfectly, but after turning off my screen and turn it on at a later time, I get some really bad flashing like it lost sync, have you ever dealt with that? TO clarify, I have the C1 and a RTX 3090. LASTLY, look up an app called "Wallpaper Engine", It will let you choose a desktop wallpaper that has slight movement to it so it prevents burn in from a totally static image.
I have a problem, when I play at 4k 120hz g sync it does not work, it only works if I lower the fps to 60, I followed the steps in the video I have an rtx 3070 with hdmi 2.1 and oled c1, any help?
Quick question. So after I did this, My screen sometimes flickers. I’m not too sure what’s going on. I read an article about G-Sync/VRR flickering on LG OLED TVs. But it want too helpful.
Nice one...I recently got my C2 42 and cannot believe spending 9:55 min made a huge difference. Can I get higher refresh rate with my MacPro M1 Max too? I know people swear by the fact that it is bottle necked on Mac side and there is no way to get more than 60HZ. Appreciate the helpful video.
Hey Parifuture, I have the M1 Max also but I get 120 Hz on my 49" Samsung Odyssey monitor. I'm not sure what you're doing, but it's definitely is on there.
Hey bro do you have a video on first time buying or building a pc? I’ve been thinking about switching from console to PC. I currently have the latest LG Oled tv as well.
Mine is coming soon and thanks for all the tips and hints it really helps a lot, btw i am planning to play CSGO on it but i am worried about HUD and crosshair will result in burn-in, maybe it's not a good idea
Hoping you can help. I'm running a Nvidia RTX 3070 on a LG CX. I've followed all the steps, but every time I click HDMI Deep Color my PC loses signal to the LG. It only comes back when I disable HDMI Deep color again. Any help is appreciated! All drivers/firmware are up to date. Also, after setting the HDMI output to PC mode I'm still only getting an option for SD resolutions.
@@gomerfa I had to delete and re-install the GeForce experience then update my drivers from there and it worked perfectly afterwards. I had so much trouble before I did that. Same issue as you and OP. Try that maybe and see if it helps.
@@gomerfa it’s the best place to download the newest drivers I didn’t use it either but that’s the only thing that fixed the deep color issue for me. If GeForce gets outdated it seems to mess the drivers up or something. I’m not sure really I’m new to pc, but that fixed it for me.
Thank you for the video. I purchased the LG C1 as a monitor with my older dell inspiron 15r 5537 but eveything seems to be "blown up". The text and icons are clear but eveything is too large I am unable to utilizie the real estate of the monitor effectively. I assume its a resolution issue as my laptop is just running an Intel HD graphics card which may not support this tv. Do you have any advice on this?
So I have a 2080ti and understand I will get 1440p 120 hz correct? Do I just plug it with it with the hdmi you listed in your description? Or what cable? Thanks!
The problem with enabling HDR on windows all the time is it will force HDR on some games that don't support it. This will result in colours looking off. I really wish there was an ON WHEN SUPPORTED toggle Oh damn I'm on windows 10 we don't have auto HDR like on windows 11.. I really don't want to upgrade but that's handy. Do you suggest toggling HDR on a per game basis on windows 10 then?
Quick tip, windows key + alt + the B key toggles HDR on and off. Makes switching back and forth MUCH easier. I hated the idea of having to manually go into the menu and change it everytime, no longer need to do that 😊
What if I want to use Plex HTPC on windows 11 and need the clarity settings back on for that, can I just set the hdmi the pc is on to a streaming box? Or will that mess up any display settings on windows 11 when I need to go back to gaming?
I'm concerned about the Chroma 4:2:2 at 120hz since it is limited to 40Gbps. Do you see a difference e.g. when reading small text between 60hz@4:4:4 and 120hz@4:2:2?
I've been using a top of line 2016 Samsung 4k60 the last few years and have it at 60hz@4:2:2 (best it could do) and it has been phenomenal with zero issues reading text. I'm assuming C1 will be the same at 120@4:2:2
@@PCGGC I learned by now that 40Gbit is enough for 4k120 4:4:4 at 10bit, you only need 48Gbit for 12bit. Since the panel is only a 10bit panel, 40Gbit is no problem at all.
Hello! I'm not an expert - unfortunately. I use the TV LG OLED55C12BL as a PC monitor (Win10). I use 4k UHC HDMI cable, 2 meters long. It has this graphics card Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX580 8G OC. If I understand correctly, its HDMI output is 2.0? Does that matter to my question? Question: I can't make 120 hertz and 10 bits of color. Just 60Hz and 8 bit (10bits only 422, not on 444). Why? Big TNX for all constructiv ansvers!
Hdmi 2.0 does not have enough bandwidth for you to run 10 bit, 4.4.4 colour and 4k. Only 2.1 support that format due to it being able to Carry more information then 2.0
could you help me. i have an lg c 1 and it doesnt appear in the nvidia control panel. it only shows the 3d settings. im able to select 120hz and 4k from the display settings but it doesnt recognize the tv as hdr certified. it also says it is connected to the iris intel and not the 1650 ti card. the device driver says generic monitor. thanks
I have a 1080 monitor with no other HDMI slots on my PC (other than one used for 2nd monitor), I am trying to connect to my LG OLED CS by unplugging my monitor and using that hdmi slot for the TV. Whenever I launch a game or open a folder on my main PC screen, it will open on the main screen not the 2nd screen. But when I connect my tv, everything opens up on the 2nd screen. How do I fix this?
i have lg oled B3, rtx 4070ti super, still in pc resolution 4k is not showing, why? maximun resolution i can get is 1440p as the top of the options in pc list resolution 2:50
So whenever I pick any resolution above 1080P in the PC resolution category, it will revert back to Ultra HD even when I press Yes after Apply... Locking me at 60Hz..
I have a lg c1 connected to my laptop. power saving turned off on tv and laptop. How do I keep the screen from dimming after one minute of inactivity? it makes me furious. I am doing graph analysis and the movement on the screen is small so I have to make some big movement to make the screen bright again. I've been looking everywhere. Is there a way to keep the tv screen from dimming?
My LG77CX was recognized by my Windows 11 3080 PC, but kept saying "No Input". So, I activated HDR inside Win Display Settings. When I did that, it removed the LG TV from being recognized. Said its Not Active in windows settings, so I cannot turn HDR off. Also, inside Nvidia display settings, when I click the box to activate it, it force-deactivates it. Im totally stuck. Any ideas?
Plz help. I have LG C1 and RTX3080 connected via quality hdmi 2.1 cable. When I choose PC resolution in Nvidia Control Panel 4k and 120hz than my screens goes for black for few seconds, after that it is back, there is info to accept changes and.. when click Yes than it goes back to standard UHD native res with 60hz…
Hi, You didn’t precise what graphic card you used on your video. Can I have the model please ? Why don’t use the Display Port ? HDMI is better on your card ? Thanks !
This does not work with Lenovo legion 5 pro or Lenovo legion 7, but I think its the laptop HDMI 2.1 port which are not true 2.1 ports... anyway to test this?
For posteriority, this is my second post on this video :) I just want to say that I was using an amd R9 390 at the time and this video fixed my problems then. However when I bought my nvidia RTX 3080 strix, I changed the settings in the TV (hdmi -> PC) but in nvidia control panel, the PC resolution "4k 120FPS" wasn't available. I searched the internet for no luck until I decided to enable "Game optimiser" in the TV. As soon as I did this, the nvidia control panel recognized automatically that resolution and everything seems good so far. Wasn't expecting this pain, to be honest. EDIT: It still didnt have "Gsync compatible display" in nvidia settings. I was using a DP2.1 to HDMI cable and as soon as I switched it to an HDMI2.1 cable it changed without problems. FIXED. Cheers to everyone
