Secret LG C1 "Hack" to Unlock G1 OLED Evo Brightness - Should You Do It? 

lol unless it was an ES they aren't even close to the same car

@@DEVILTAZ35 I hate how the old ES looks exactly like the old Camry, I would always mistake it for a Camry

lmfao this made me lol irl

😵

I don't care who you are.....now that's funny !!!

😂😂😂

Ding! ( ;

That was the best bit 😂

WTF…….I’m reading this comment exactly the same time as Vincent is saying in the video. It happened to me 3 times in a row in his latest 3 videos that I watched. I’m having a dejavu….. GOD bless me.

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHA. This guy is comedy gold and TV review god.

I'm just a Chinese dude with a Mancunian accent trying to do the right thing. Lol

True, some wear tracksuit pants @0:56

Oh god

Lol, not even close, he just planted unreasonable fear. Come on, everyone who doesn't want the risk, just won't do the mod. As far as warranty, just make sure you switch it back as soon as you see something out of order...

This video actually is the same as all the hacks reviewing tech would do...

@@dushk0 wow. With all these "hacks" reviewing tech, you think that would make some awesome messiah like yourself to come in and do a better job.

It shouldn't be that bad for the panel. I mean the lg c9 already gets as bright right?

The flashy graphics in other reviewers videos is bs. This guy is a real pro thru n thru delivering u the truth. Much respect

dont forget the lols!

Ah yes, the famous Celeron 300A. There was also a specific version of the earlier Pentium MMX that would overclock from 166 MHz to 293 MHz with the right mainboard and and a beefy cooler. And going back even further, the Intel 486/SX with 25 MHz could be overclocked to a whopping 66 MHz -- more than 2.5-fold. Those were the days.

Which one do you like most? :)

@@yuan-jia c1

@@yuan-jia Honestly, I love them both. I have a really dark room where the LG is setup and a bright one where the Samsung is setup. Both have excellent pictures

I just got the 48" instead. It is small enough for me.

you dont have to be technician for that its basic commen sence

@@romanstrapec9713 sense 😉

Would probably need a heat sink similar to G2 now to handle the extra heat

Cents

@@nuwan86 common?

Yes!

Please can you do Hack too LG Hu85LG Projector (UAE VERSION) to update firmware same like LGHU85LA which has Smart web Os.. please

I think they are too classy to do that, as it takes warranty and might do damage.

I dont think the message from this video may have gotten through to everyone as intended lol

I know it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

you still can; and some cards come with two bios, same with Mobo's, and some, like asus, straight up refuse to respect the power standard of your cpu. the reason C/GPU's are binned, is so you have a guaranteed performance, if you got a C/GPU off a really lucky waffer, you can even undervolt it, and overlock it for more speed at a lower temp; some will spit out errors, some will run fine. the real issue you run into now is that the power phases are lack luster and tend to cause AOE damage when they blow. but for example i can run my massive CPU at 4.6ghz all core; which is well above the 3.4Ghz all core and it hovers at 60C; if i let the mobo/cpu handle max core in auto, i get 80C temp spikes and not that much faster performance while running at full voltage. some cakes just come out better from the oven, it's life.

@@ClannerJake you can't anymore. They now physically disable the cores if they use a higher end chip in a lower end gpu. It wasn't just AMD either, it was amd & nVidia.

@@ClannerJake that's completely different then what OP is talking about lol

No but an LG operative will knock on your door and cough up some 150 bucks for your TVs new shoes.

I have turn my C1 DOWN to 36% brightness. You must be watching outside to need 100%. You set is just going to get burn-in even quicker anyway.

@@toriless they won't mean for sdr they'll mean for HDR. HDR should always be 100% brightness

Why would you need another way of saying it? There’s nothing wrong with telling another man you’re in love with him, it’s perfectly acceptable. 🤣 I love him too.

ЕЕ , добре е да видя и други БГ-та които да го следят :) Аз съм му фен от години, а и той е причината да взема OLED. Поздрави

ULTRA SUPREME INFINITY MEGA COSMIC GALATIC UNIVERSAL PAUSE 😂😂😂😂

First rule : Never use firmware update, don`t connect tv to internet.

They'll make the service menu harder to get into in future models.

@@gorak9000 Just like my wife

@@CaveyMoth Future wife models just operate themselves :)

@@pwilburn12345 Mute button would be my upgrade, tbh. subtitles only.

Just be careful. One wrong setting may brick your TV.

Thanks for the info!

Wow plus they may be able to tell the TV has been tampered with if it ever needed to be serviced under warranty too.

@@hdtvtest Greetings. I was wondering if you could help me at all. I purchased a LG C1 65" a few weeks back. Although I enjoy many aspects of my new OLED panel I do find it dull and dark in comparison to my old Samsung LED display. I have flicked through the options such as Game -Optimizer, Theatre, Cricket, Cinema, Standard and Vivid mode etc finding Vivid to be the brightest of these options. When Game Optimizer mode is on it still seems dull and you have to choose either Vivid or GOM. So my question is how would I calibrate my screen to appear brighter? Perhaps there is a good RU-vidr whom has done such adjustment through the settings menu? Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. Rod from New Zealand :)

@@ronervine OLEDs don't have the same peak brightness as LED. For most viewing situations this is not a problem. If it is a problem, then you can reduce the light in the room. There is a reason why this and several other TV info channels are in darker rooms, it is a better viewing experience.

@@ronervine OLED TVs are meant for dark room usage. They don't get as bright as Samsung AMOLED Android flagship phones.

At least we're wearing something...

My whole thing is why the hell are people so worried about measurements when in actual content you won't see the difference. It's legit still going to operate the same it makes no sense. If anything you could create the tv to overshoot or hard clip things that tech savy isn't bringing up. He spread this hack way to early without figuring out what could or couldn't happen. I get it was on the forums first but his video spread and made others talk about it more. The guy is newer he does know alot amd learned fast but he's just learned it, not been here for years. So there are many things he isn't thinking about. He's just going by what's said not how it actually operates. It's a bit ridiculous, peope should stop this measurement hype they are all similar. The Sony a90j is different because they pushed it hard and put a heatsink in there. So yeah that will have more brightness but all these lg tvs track the same they have dynamic tone mapping and same everything pretty much. Regardless in content they will be similar. People need to relax on measurements, content is what matters.

@@reviewforthetube6485 use punctuation

@@RemixerUltimate alright fixed

You can still hack a Tesla, they are all the same. Want more HP, they just enable it.

Its not the same.

@@YilmazGuenduez No? How do you know? I'm genuinely curious.

@@shaynerism I'm a LG technician.

@@YilmazGuenduez Awesome. So tell me, do the, "higher end" panels get more "robust" power supplies? Thanks for the replies!

@@shaynerism They get bigger or (starting at 77 Inch) have 2 Power Supplies, compared to C-Series to maintain the EVO Panels luminosity.

Isn’t the c9 out of updates?

They had better!

@@alexanderulv3886 They don't owe you anything. NEVER buy a TV based on promises. Buy a TV for what it can do right NOW.

I might be totally wrong on this. But I thought the CX's 40 Gbps bandwidth isn't enough for DV 120 fps since DV is 12 bit.

Doesn’t disabling ASBL also affect your warranty?

@@robertt9342 from what I heard it does

@@robertt9342 Probably. In the case of ASBL, it is not a "small benefit" to me... it is the difference between a TV that is simply unwatchable or watchable. I'm willing to accept the risk.

@@ThunderStruckMTB True.

There is a new update coming soon that fixes HDR issues anyway. Not worth messing with expensive tv's unless you have money to burn.

Currently no ETA.

@@hdtvtestok 😥

June probably Panasonic very underrated TV brand very close Sony Bravia picture quality.

@@RobertK1993 I agree with the other comment - I think underrated may be a tad oversimplifying . I would have never considered a Panasonic last year - but hdmi 2.1 features , a cheaper RRP , LG dramatically transforming its webos (which is my fave tv interface ) - probably among other things - but this year I’m leaning towards the jz2000 (if the reviews justify the marketing). I’m not an AV enthusiast - I’m just a guy who wants an OLED tv in a relatively well lit room 😂. Panasonic don’t sell [latest models ] in the US , Canada , Australia and probably other HEDCs . It’s just not accessible to everyone . I do hope for Panasonic’s sake , market competition’s sake as well as my own consumer interests that the Panasonic TVs of this year push the pedal even more when it comes to good products.

Need Panasonic to release a 77inch Oled tv.

I have a x900h, how can I do this??

@@bobbobson4030 the firmware from the X90J that was released about a month ago increased peak brightness, also on HDR for the X900H. Also, it supposedly fixed the 4K120Hz blurring. Sadly, the mirror for firmware is not available anymore. You’ll have to Google it, someone might have it or post it on a website. It was up on official Sony support site for X90J page and the r/Bravia Reddit page. It was taken down when people started doing it.

@@UserInterface00 Any chance it would damage the hardware? Have they changed it in the new TV?

@@bobbobson4030 Look up the AVSFORUM.COM owners thread. They have the link

@@bobbobson4030 I doubt it. No one has reported that their X900H was damaged in any way. However, like this C1/G1 situation, you’ll be locked out of any future updates for your specific TV. Not sure what you mean in your second question.

Would love to see Vince investigate this. It'd also just be really useful info, because I'd been considering buying this display.

I had the problem with a cheap 2.1 cable. Not all cables are the same, and even « certified » ones sometimes have problems. I changed my cheap cable to a 3x as expensive Belkin 2.1 8K cable and now I don’t have any trouble.

@@L1N3B3CK How about the supplied 2.1 cables that come with the consoles? Are they considered "cheap"?

Y

Can't you just disable ABL?

@James L: That's your own opinion, most of which are conjecture and not proven. We are relaying LG's official statement, and can conclusively prove that switching the service menu code from C1 to G1 alters other operational characteristics of the TV besides merely HDR peak brightness.

@@hdtvtest it’s absolutely the case that performance could suffer because the G1 and C1 are tuned differently based on other characteristic. And clearly LG is within their rights to void the warranty if someone does this. But the risks of damaging the display are likely minimal.

@@hdtvtest sarcasm much? Lol

I just brought it recently got my bedroom for gaming 48" one and it's been a blast Have a 85" QN90A in hall , the colors are amazing in QN90A but it's wayy too bright to be in a bedroom and am totally happy with C1's purchase.

Most gamers are switching to the 48" C1.

Unless you know you're going to wall mount it, you'll be stuck with either the ridiculous "gallery" stand, or those ugly AF Sony styled legs. But I do agree on not messing around with the service menu of a C1 in an attempt to make it a G1, because it still won't be and it's going to get hotter. After having a B6 that prematurely died *two months* after the warranty expired, and getting kind of a lemon C8, I wouldn't trust the manufacturing quality of a C1 to not quickly die doing something like this.

It fixed the HDR luminance calibration for me, but colors were less accurate oob.

But the word is the sweeping stand trim makes the C1 actually sound better than G1. So my choice is to compromise on the sound or the picture?

@@Neonmirrorblack the CX is my first Oled, how do I know if it’s a lemon? 🍋

@@alexanderulv3886 If it has any noticeable screen defects under normal viewing conditions for a start. My C8 has some of the worst screen uniformity I've ever seen, and during any scene that is between the 10% and 20% black range, I see a huge pillar that's darker than everything else. It goes up three-quarters of the screen and is about four inches wide. It destroys the image, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

You have to be careful because the gamma curves are setup from the factory for 85 contrast in SDR.

He loves LG OLED TVs

Obviously an Lg shill 😆

@@RobertK1993 man knows his OLEDS from the back of his head 🙌🏼🔥

@@final58fant58 I do too

It depends.. during the day it's kind of hard to play games on it, espacially darker games like RE8 for example.

You must like watching inaccurate improper hdr. Too dark for accuracy of the directors intent

best monitor i have ever had... well worth the money

@@edgarperez8411 You do realize that peak brightness and sustained brightness are two different things right?

they say the c1 has nerfed brightness compared to cx because of the g1 skewing.
