I fucking love the honesty "So yeah, I just wasted hours setting up the TV but I will sacrifice those hours in order to give you a good video and make more views". I fucking love this.

"I understand these are quite hard to come by, fortunately I have two" . Comedy gold - I laughed out loud at your superb early wit in this video, thank you!

Words can't describe how amazing this channel is. Thank you for all the hard work you put in.

The recalibrating was a sacrifice felt across all of RU-vid.

“I understand that the Ps5 is hard to get, fortunately I have 2.” Lololol I don’t think he was trying to flex but that was hilarious to me

I did a whole lot of pausing, checking that I had my G1 like his suggesting, and then double checking. But I must say he is spot the hell on. Thank you so much for the walkthrough and detail.

this guy is awesome for factoring in both picture quality and input latency into his recommended settings. Huge help!

“Sucks with an X” 🤣😂🤣 I love this channel!

I don’t own a. C1 or a PS5, but I still watched this video

Just upgraded from lg cx to the C1 and I knew you would be a video on this thanks for all you do man it helps loads

The driest sense of humor. Love it. You are so descriptive and very helpful and I do trust your information over pretty much anyone else

You have the best sense of humor in the World.

"And then with menu color, violet is my favorite, but, you know, you can choose to go wild with orange or green as well." WTF 😂

Just wanted to drop by and express my gratitude for your work. I also used your suggested settings for the xbox series X and the display looks amazing.

I've been shopping for TV's and the C1 has been high on my list. Seen a couple of your videos and they've helped in my choosing but that double ps5 flex made this the quickest channel I've ever subscribed to! Well done.

The guy is smart and on the point. And as a bonus - the jokes he makes without changing his expression one bit are hilarious. :D

"Fortunately I have two." Well played sir, well played..

This was so truly helpful. Was nice getting a guide from a professional. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much for using your expertise to help us get the optimal settings for this tv. Appreciate you and your work a lot! You are awesome. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this guide! I love that you explain everything so detailed. Gives value to your advice amongst all the other videos out there that just throws settings at you without explaining how or why. A quick follow up question, though. When a game asks me to select HDR settings where default is usually 500 nits, what would you suggest to set it to on the LG C1?

Your winning videos are always a cut above everyone, best clipper on the square. I hope there will also be a video on the best setting for the G1 on the Xbox X series

You are a star ! just got my LG C1 65 and already love the HDR settings, thanks a lot ! :)

I was a bit dubious about the warm settings. But then I booted up Hades and compared screenshots to the gameplay on my screen. The colors were an absolute perfect match. Thanks, dude!

Never would have expected to drop the third step of the HDR calibration to 0 on the PS5. Gonna definitely try that out.

Yes finally the video I was waiting for. I just bought a ps5 month ago and a c1 last week my first oled tv ever. Thank you V god bless.

Man FINALLY!! I found a really in depth video on how do this! Really much appreciated!

Thx you bro, i love how you bring things clear and simple into my head 😄

This video is wonderful. Thank you so much for all the work you must have put into it.

This video should be programmed into the LG C1.

Watched your Series X video before this, now this one. Thanks again! Your settings are spot on. Only thing I didn't change is hdr always on. That being said, you got a new subscriber!

Thank you! I’ve bought C1 after watching your videos and now can configure it correctly too 👍

Thanks so much for making this. I just got this TV, and I was struggling to get everything set just right to optimize the picture. This guide is perfect!

Vincent you are a global treasure for wannabe AV and gaming enthusiasts like us. Thank you for these videos!

Probably the second video I've seen of this guy and his comedic timing is great 😄 Great information too!

Please make another video! The tv and ps5 have had updates, and from reading the comments a lot people would really appreciate it! Thank you! We appreciate all the hard work you put into!

Liking all the advice for the c1, but would like to see a full step by step video on the c1 and Xbox series x and how to get the best outta both of them, also a step by step for sky Q wouldn’t go amiss either. Keep up the good work as I’ve watch a few people on here now and feel like your the only 1 that actually knows what they are talking about

Your videos hit different. I feel like I'm actually learning and not just making blind adjustments based on someone's preference.

I simply want to say THANK YOU!!! Your vids are invaluable and very very much appreciated.

This is super useful, I like the way you explained everything really well

A small nuance: 0-255 and 16-235 is a full and limited range in SDR mode, in HDR mode it is 0-1023, 64-940, respectively. In SDR mode, there is no problem switching between full and limited range. Although I saw a nuance: in a certain game, there may be a in-game gamma setting (I don't remember, for example, Bloodborne or MK11) when you need to adjust the value so that the figure against the black background is barely visible. In the full range, it is always visible at all values ​​(or always invisible), but it is perfectly and correctly regulated in a limited range. This means that some games in SDR mode are created for a limited range. In HDR, maybe I have a display dependency (or capture device ), because I clearly see from the wavescope and the brightness analysis of the black and white points that at any value of the option the full / limited image is always displayed in limited mode. And most games are cross-platform projects with their own HDR settings. I suppose the internal Playstation/Xbox HDR settings for these games are useless.

Lol, I had a few genuine laughs 😂👍 Don't ever change Vincent

Thank you for the calibration iv just bought this tv its so bloody good!

Thank you so much. It really has made a massive difference to my games.

Excellent video Vincent. Would love to see a PC one too if you ever get to that. Cheers.

You absolutely earned my sub. I almost never subscribe but when you explain things and make adjustments because you want to stay true to the creators intention that just shows so much respect and compassion for the developers of these games and I really appreciate you for that. I might not watch much of your content but I want you to know that I really appreciate your attitude.

I used these settings, and the games look awesome! Thank you so much!

I just bought a 55" B1 and cannot wait to use this settings later on.

Hi Vincent thanks a lot for this video! Since these settings are only good for gaming, are the default Blue-Ray input settings good enough for 4K Blue-Ray watching? Thanks

Thank you Vincent so much for this video. I'm getting my 55" LG C1 tomorrow from Best Buy. And I had my PlayStation 5 since launch. I'll be upgrading from a 55" Vizio M55Q8-H1. Basically I'm improving myself by allowing to have the option to play games at 120hz. The Vizio supports HDR, VRR, and 60hz.

I just want to thank you so much for this extremely valuable information and the thorough explanations that you give! I subbed and liked the video as well. :)

your informations and helpfull Videos are amazing good. I used your settings for my PC for gaming and it looks so much better now. (specialy the tone mapping and colour temps) I could never find such colour accurate settings by myself. domo Arigato Sir

Fantastic video. I appreciate you explaining what these settings actually do instead of just reading off a list of numbers. This'll help me dial in my own settings in the future.

As always, another great in-depth video. I just got a PS5 and this is quite helpful. It seems I have most of my settings configured correctly except HGiG. You actually touched on the one complaint I have with my LG C1 and that is that the near-blacks in HDR and Dolby Vision content appear too dark. You hinted that this is set this way "out of the box" which suggests that this can be "fixed" somehow when watching HDR/Dolby Vision content? I'm going to search through your videos but I'm not sure I've seen anything specific regarding this.

Much appreciated for the in-depth and excellent advice!

I absolutely love this channel because I'm a cinematographer by trade and I feel like we have a very similar mindset to image reproduction. It's great to see someone else in the field who pays attention to this kind of stuff.

would a "vincent-mode" app for the lg be feasible? i would like to adjust much less settings in order to get the intended results.

Thanks bro. Also how do you feel about game mode while watching movies? Is there a reason not to? I watched Dune in Cinema mode and at some point it was so dark I could hardly see. In a pitch black room btw. With Oled brightness and contrast 100. Game mode made it much brighter. I feel forced to use game mode for everything now, including movies. Like I did with my old Oled TV. Except that was a choice, I wasn't forced to.

Outstanding video!! I am a novice to say the least and i found this video to be exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Very helpful video. Could you do one for the best PS5 settings on Samsung Qn95a too?

Hi Vincent! I noticed that you recommend colour 55 for C1 but colour 50 for CX/C9. I assume something has changed between the units and that's not updated guidance for the older models too?

Nearly 2 years later, but I finally have the PS5 and 77 C1 combo. Saved this video for so long waiting for this day thanks.

THAT WAS AMAZNG!!! MORE PS5 CONTENT WITH THE LG C1 PLEASE THANK YOU

Hi, great video thank you for your time. What about 4k movies on the ps5 ? Which option you recommend

I applied these settings earlier today and I just paused my game to come back here and thank you for these guidelines. My 65G1 looks incredible now.

I just got the 48", and I have a PS5. Thank you for doing this!

My G, thankyou for taking the time and for legitimising output results with pro kit

What settings would you change for when you use the PS5 to watch UHD movies or stream video content rather gaming?

@HDTVTest I think it would be really cool if you made a tutorial/review for formatting the LG C1 as an 3440 x 1440 or 3840x1600 ultrawide. I think it would be really cool to know if that is a good option for gaming since running games at 4k won't always be optimal even with new graphics cards. A video reviewing different resolution possibilities on LG CX or C1 would be great.

I don't even own any LG or oled tv and am still watching this. Your Videos are amazing!

Thanks man for your professionalism & deep explanations ..!!

Any chance of doing this for the CX? I know you have a video that covers the basic settings, but this covered way more, and now I'm jealous.

Can you do the best C1 settings for the Series X?

Great set of vids on the c1. Will be referring to them for setup . 🖖

bro this video is amazing in so many levels! YOU ROCK!!!

Hi Vincent, could you pls make a similar video for LG C2 OLED? Taking into account that VRR and other PS5 updates have also arrived. I think the community would really appreciate it ❤️🙏

I would sell my soul to have the same video for the LG G1, you're the best!

You really are the GOAT when it comes to this stuff. You dumb things down to a level the layperson can understand and due to your help my tv looks way nicer. I thank you for all the help your videos have provided me.

That was by far the cooles video I saw since Avangers Endgame. Thumps up, man.

Would be great if you did a PC Version Of This , showing how to sort out hdr issues in pc games

Vincent, can you please make a video where you compare gaming on the PS5 using EOTF set to HLG on the LG C1. PLEASE can you include all options to show us all if it really is/will be the best possible way of gaming and getting the most out of the panel. Compare it in SDR games and HDR gaming. Also if you are able, for general HD, 4K AND SD TV viewing and streaming. I think with your proven ability and experience, this will make an excellent comparison video. What will be the pros and cons of gaming in HLG HDR/SDR on PS5 on a LG C1 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏 also please explain the difference WITH MOTION PRO ENABLED when using HLG

I appreciate you!!!! Thank you for your in-depth knowledge.

Great video as always. Managed to order a 55" C1 for 830 euros. Can't wait to try it out :) Love your humor BTW 😂

I assume this applies to LG C2 as well? I really love how detailed your videos are, thank you for taking the time to explain everything!

Seriously. This guy's humor is hilarious

hands down, best tv reviewer on youtube!!!! i´m personally still happy with my 55 LG B7, i will buy a new tv end of 2022. LG 65 inch, however it is called :)

Thank you for such useful guideline!

EXCELLENT VIDEO!! I applied the settings on my LG C1 83" OLED, and the PS5 graphics look incredible. But I also have an Xbox Series X and wonder if you can do another video similar to this one showing the best settings for gaming on that console? Thanks again.

Thank you for this video! Can you also do the LG C2? I'd also like to see both HGIG and tone mapping on side by side. Is there such a big difference in quality? I find HGIG too dark most of the time. Can calibrate HDR with tone mapping on in the PS5 settings or do I need to set it to HGIG first and then calibrate?

Down to the detail. Got the C2 probably will follow with these settings. Exactly the video I was looking for lol.

Bro, I just love you so much. You are one kind of a cool human being

This is great Vincent! Can we get a video for the C1 and the Xbox Series X?!

Thank you kindly sir for the settings. I used them and the picture looks amazing. Would you be so kind and provide us with the best settings for Netflix (Dolby Vision) and sport content? I would appreciate it :)

thank you so much for your guidance!

Thank you for this video. Great information.

Dat flex tho with the PS5’s…. I took that personally.

Hi Vincent, Considering the improvements like VRR and other updates on the PS5, is it possible for you to make an updated video with the best settings on LG C1 for PS5 version 2022 ? My knowledge is not that good and I would like to be sure that I'm using the best settings. Some people are asking questions regarding the switch to PC mode instead of console but with all these contradicting information, I feel a bit lost. Thanks in advance for your precious work !

Thank you for posting this!

Incredible depth and insight . Impressive.
