Caught a small error in the wording but doesn't effect the settings or outcome. The 2pt gain and bias settings are tied to that source input, not the color temp selected. Advanced 20pt settings are what is tied to the color temp selected. Again doesn't effect anything other than the mistake in wording.
Hey Classic. I really like 👍 your videos and streams with Fomo and the other guys. I'm interested to learn and to do my own calibration for personal use, and perhaps in the future, I'd be able to help family and friends. What are steps to follow in other to learn the basics and what do I need to purchase ( e.g, equipment and software). Is it to technical to learn? I have 3 TVs, so I guess I can learn while I'm using my own TVs as a practice. I'd appreciate any input on this. Thank you and keep it up 💯 . Hello from Houston.
@@menacordero1 you can start with Calman home for "brand" (Sony, LG, etc) which is $145 and gives you the ability to manually calibrate any brand. Add an X-rite colorimeter for $300 and a used i1pro2 for around $400-500.
I installed your recommendations and it just took my 77 to a new level. From the time I purchased it approximately 4 months ago I operated on custom expert one settings. Thanks for keeping it simple and your expertise 👍
WOW! Now I know why you are called CLASSY! GOD Bless U for sharing your expertise with those of us, like me, that can't afford or do ourself - a FULL Calibration! I have taken me notes and now I am off to enter them and ENJOY this Wonderful TV! Michael
Hi Classy, are these settings still accurate for this model? I swear I saw you mention in another video that you actually recommend different settings from the ones in this video?
Amazing results. I followed your recommendations for my A80J 55” and the picture is the best ever. I did the green -1 and the blue -13. Really looks fantastic. I’ve owned this tv for a couple of years and until now I have never been satisfied that my picture was as good as other family members Samsung and LG tv’s. Haven’t had the chance to watch sports yet. Curious to see how the motion looks. Thank you.
Hey Cecil one day in and I’m loving the settings you shared with us. Just got to say wow! There is a new Netflix docuseries ‘Animals’ that’s in 4K Dolby vision and it’s gorgeous. Truly seeing the beauty of this TV. Thx.
Thank your for your video! Just got my 55" last night and this made a HUGE difference. My Only change was setting blue to -10 as I thought -15 pushed out too much redness, but I understand that is preference and possible room lighting. Thank you again!!
Definitely gonna try these out on my 55” A80J tonight. I’m halfway through watching, but I gotta commend you on how streamlined this video is. Also love that you tested smooth gradation with many games. Great job man.
Dolby Vision dark finally looks good! I was using the 2 point adjustment from your old video and basically had to use DV bright to keep the colors accurate. I love this.
What about IMAX enhanced picture setting Classy? Would you use the same settings you adjusted for Cinema? Saw you skipped that in the video so can you make any recommendations for that setting?
Thanks for the settings. Which setting would you recommend for Nighttime TV/sports viewing via Computer hdmi 1080p or 4k content? Cinema or Daytime Tv mode?
Plugged in the settings on my 65A80J and will see if I like them. Been using custom picture mode with expert 1. A question for you I don’t have cable. Cut the cord a year ago. So I’m talking built in streaming apps and Apple TV. Your SDR settings for daytime and night time viewing will they still apply. Thanks for always looking out for your subscribers Cecil. Appreciate all that you do.
Subbed. I ended up swapping the CX for this. It looked a lot sharper in the store than the C1. Will be here on the 6th and will try these settings out.
Thanks for all the work you’ve done Classy, I’m trying out the settings on my 55 inch and it looks good so far. You’ve made my day👍🏾. Yourself, Fomo, and B Installer made the decision to buy this TV really easy and I will still watch you guys content even though I’ve already made my decision 😃
Just adjusted per these recommendations. Thanks Classy! When do you recommend turning on cinemotion out of curiosity? I see it’s off for all these settings.
Thank you for the great content! I just got my A80J and connect my inputs thru my denon Hdmi 3 erc/arc. When I set a picture mode it stays on that mode through all the inputs. Whether it's cable TV, Ninetendo switch...it doesn't change the picture mode. I would have to change modes manually. I was wondering if you know why this is? Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
My setup is such that i probably won't be able to connect directly to the tv. It would be via the denon. Do you reccomend any of your calibrations that can be universal for cable tv and gaming? I believe native apps keep the picture settings and don't have the issue. Only when changing from Xbox, Ninetendo, cable where the settings remain the same and don't change.
Yep, same here! Xbox series X in HDMI 4, eArc HDMI 3 to my Denon where I have my blu-ray player and Apple TV 4k connected. If I watch an HD blu-ray in ‘cinema’ but then switch to The Grand Tour on Amazon which is HDR, instead of switching to ‘custom’ where my HDR calibration is, it stays in ‘cinema’ with the HDR logo in the corner of the settings menu. Can easily enough change it to ‘custom’ but wondering if there is a way for it to auto-switch to ‘custom’ for HDR and ‘cinema’ for regular HD?
@@Ryans09G8GT I think it may be an issue with Denon. When I had a Yamaha receiver it switched, but with the Denon I have now it doesn't. It is annoying I agree. So I run all game systems to TV directly and if you don't want to switch modes for TV/movies use Custom for SDR and HDR but keep clearness off.
purchased a 77 a80j based on your advice and other research. these settings look great until i get it calibrated. was very nervous giving up my beloved 65" vt 60 plasma. was worried about motion handling and how 1080 content would look upscaled. pleased on both fronts. classy thank you for all your work
Hi Classy, these settings are for an A90J. I actually tried these settings on my X95J and even though it's not the same panel as the A90J, your settings improved my picture too. Is it OK for me to use your settings on an X95J if I don't have an A90J?
Thanks! I pulled the trigger after all on the Sony A80J I receive it tomorrow delivery from Cosco. I talked to someone at Cosco he showed me the add for the month of November Black Friday sale. No more discount price drop from what I seen and he told me. $3,000 is the best price for the 77” I’m just glad I finally got it. This will be my first Oled and large screen at 77” What do I have to check for the screen to make sure it’s a good panel? Hopefully I receive a good one. Thanks in advance
Just look at 4%, 5%, 10%, gray screen patterns for banding. Give it around 100 hours of content and one manual pixel refresh if needed to clean up any banding if you see it.
@@hhinojosareef1 when you get the tv go on RU-vid app and type in tv dirty screen test and play one of those videos on RU-vid. And then watch it and look for any imperfections on the screen.
I would like to ask you Classy, what do you think of Netflix Calibrated mode? I set it up and I have been enjoying, but i did not tried or settings for dolby vision yet. Your settings for dolby vision are better than netflix calibrated mode? Thank you in advance. Great content
Netflix calibrated mode is not actually calibrated as it would want you to think. It's mostly just something that has been carried over the last few years but isn't needed.
I just got my 77 inch today. So this is basically 4 different profiles saved to the tv to switch between depending on content right? Do you recommend the Netflix calibrated mode when watching Netflix? Also what about the in tv app vs a streaming device?
Thank you for all your work, very easy to understand and brilliant! In your opinion...do I need to use Nvidea Shield pro, connected to my AVR...if Im NOT using Plex? If you still like the option, I would like to use my streaming apps through the shield and wonder what settings in the SHIELD and my 77" Sony A80J please.
I just got a 55in c1 last Friday for our bedroom. We watch tv shows, sports and movies, no gaming. Wondering if the a80j would of been better to purchase? Don’t get me wrong, the picture on c1 is awesome, we’re just not going to use any gaming feature on there at all. You’re thoughts are appreciated
I feel like there must have been an update or my TV is very different. The warm color setting is extremely warm for me and setting it like you said just makes the TV super red and warm. The warm setting with the gains all maxed seems fairly accurate but the neutral color temperate seems best for me.
Classy, Thank you so much for this video. I have been waiting for it for some time. I have several questions…Why are these setting better than your previous video with 20 pt and changes in service menu? Why did you decide to change your settings from previous video? Thanks in advance
Warm + those colour adjustments looks great on my 55inch 😁👍🏻 less yellow and more accurate compared to expert1 I was using. Still can't get used to HDR/DV being too dark at times though especially dark scenes but then gets too bright with day scenes 🤦♂️🤦♂️ can't keep changing the brightness every time the scene changes lol.
@@attilamorvai nope that's the only negative thing I can find about it. Seems mostly related to disney plus and prime video, HDR in netflix and gaming it looks great 👍🏻
These settings really made a difference on my A80K as well. How much can I increase the brightness over 30 without disrupting the other settings? The A80K is about 10% less on brightness overall.
After you did Dolby Vision Bright settings, you went into some pictures (HDR) and changed the Custom setting. What source did you use to sent the TV Dolby Vision pictures?
I just got my A80J 77" installed....I've watched several of your videos and am a lil confused. is there a set it and forget it "calibration" ? I use a 4k bluray for movies and use the smart features of the tv for Netflix, Hulu, RU-vidTV, etc. I just want to get the best picture possible picture w/out having it pro calibrated. Thank you in advance
Are you planning on doing a video like this for the LG C1? Also (assuming budget is ok for both), would you prefer the A80J 77 or the LG C1 83" if you could choose one and why? Does the LG C1 83" need to be calibrated? Thanks.
I have a settings video for the C1/G1 already. I would get the 83" C1 for the size of the price difference didn't matter or for most gaming situations. Otherwise the 77 A80J is the better value.
HOW do I set my A80J for Dolby Dark as you have it in the first part of the video and HOW do I set it for HDR? There are settings I cannot access (not able to highlight) which forces me to avoid them as I am following the steps provided here. ALSO I have my computer/ PS5 and/ entertainment plugged into HDMI plugins, WHICH access ports should I insert the correct or proper one of these selections?
I'm new to this and a bit confused. When you're doing the settings for SDR and HDR, how do I get to each menu? For example, you did the settings for the game mode, which you said used both SDR and HDR, I couldn't tell how you got to each menu to make the adjustments.
Just found your video bro. I just purchased the 65" A80J for the bedroom. The only thing I have hooked up is the DV Roku Ultra. What setting recommendation would you say to use? Should I still copy your settings for ALL modes?? Thank you, sir!! Subscribed to your channel!!
Are you recommending these settings above those you shared in the peak brightness video on 14 June? Or should I use those settings if I want more specificity?
Great channel and videos, Classy. I have a question regarding inputs. Which input do you recommend using for 4K Apple TV? I hear either #2 or #4 on the 77inch but curious if one works better than the other. Thanks!
Great content as usual. Just curious, why did go from A80J to G1 back A80J. I'm debating getting 65 A80J, 65 C1 or 65JZ1500? Would great to get thoughts.
Because I watch a lot of older content. So I have the A80J for that and a C1 for gaming now. If gaming is important than I would get the C1. We don't have the Panasonic here, but HDTV test shows them to be the most accurate out of the box. A80J is great for older content though and reality creation is nice to have.
Saw pass the remote programme recorded version just now.. Brilliant as ever . Wanted to no what you meant when u said in that SAMSUNG should take more care of its 900 series.
Thanks for this! would you recommend using the Expert 1 as shown in your previous settingsvid from 6 months ago (with fix for modified judd offset, i.e. R = -3 ; B = -6) across all content types, or Warm shown in this vid (with G = -3 ; B = -15) across all content types? Trying to keep it as simple as possible while as accurate as possible. Love your vids!
@@CC3782-r9n Can you help me with a simple question..I'm in picture mode and not getting Dolby vision to come up. Only Vivid, Standard, Cinema, and IMAX Enhanced. Do I have to calibrate other settings first? Thanks
@@Brandosway Scott, you need Dolby content and the tv will bring it up automatically. Try watching house of the dragon on HBO max or Rings of power on prime. Both are Dolby content and should bring up the Dolby settings on the tv
Hey Classy, I will be buying an a80j in a few days. I was wondering, for night time sdr/sports viewing, instead of constantly switching between standard and cinema, can I instead enable the light sensor on standard and let the tv adjust the brightness for me? or is the quality drop noticebly visible?
Can the settings also be used with activated light sensor or is there something to consider? I do not want to change the settings every time, especially when using SDR. With HDR this has not been a problem for me, because I can easily switch to Dark or Light.
Hey keep it Classy I had my TV calibrated by a well respected calibrator . He does the offset thing. Both Dolby vision bright and dark are going off the SDR day 20 point settings . DV bright looks great the after calibration report looks very good . Dolby dark looks good but the after calibration report isn’t as good as Dolby bright . The RGB balance is not as tight and the color errors are higher . How is my bright much more accurate then the dark according to the report ? Should Dolby dark be using SDR night 20 point ? Or is that just how the offset works ?
So we’re switching from expert 1 to warm and adjusting 2 points to make it look like expert 1 so that the Judd conversion isn’t done in DV dark correct? But if we don’t need any 2 point changes from expert 1 to fix white point in the first place, DV dark is fine? I’m a little confused on if DV dark is broken from the start, or only if 2 point adjustments are made to expert 1.
You are Awesome. Thank you for this!! I have my "custom" settings and I was really happy with them, but I did set up Standard, Cinema using your settings. They look great. I don't have dolby vision settings as an option. I hope you have another video with settings for the PS5. I just got one and want it to look great too.
Thanks. I have setup my tv using these settings and it looks very good. I'd like to measure it with a colorimeter. What whitepoint did you measure against in the charts shown at the beginning? OOTB, they set it to ~d6850 right? The tiltle refers to a "fix" for DV. Is that because DV actually wants to apply an offset to D6500, vs the panel whitepoint?
Sorry to get a little "off topic", but I am looking for advice/assurance: I recently bought a new SONY 55” A80J OLED TV. The majority of content I stream (movies and TV shows) no longer displays in full screen (streamed through Google Chromecast), even when I go into fullscreen from my app on my windows laptop. My new TV won’t let me use wide screen controls in picture display (it says “feature not available”, probably because I’m not going through an HDMI connection, but just using WiFi). Is there any way I can set or control the aspect ratio of the content I stream? I know the content is dependent on the original format in which it was created. I am seriously concerned about the long term possibility of OLED “screen burnout” if I continually have to watch content with two broad black lines on the top and bottom of my display.Thanks.
Hey man your settings have worked great for me so far -- I noticed the brightness settings you have set here, are different then what you had posted on AVSForums -- here it is MAX for HDR and SDR, however on AVSforum 30/50 for SDR/HDR Can you comment on what you think is best?
I’ve got the a80L. Although this years model, I still applied the settings. However, it seems to keep the same adjustments expert 1 etc without me changing it.
Is this instead of the service menu settings you shared on AVS forum? I know the other RGB settings were either or. Would it be better to reset the service menu RGB and then use this trick? Does this track close to D65? The default is too blue for me.
I put mine on Vivid settings and reduced the brightness. Seems best setting to have realistic colors. Other settings seems to lack on colors. Is that normal?
Can you help us pick the right 4k UHD HDR Blu Ray player? The market space is a mess to research and selecting the right one is really difficult. I am not a gamer but currently use an Xbox S but am looking to upgrade (if there is a reasonably priced one) now that I have the Sony A80J OLED TV. I saw some expensive units reviewed lately but most of us can’t really afford units over $1000; really it feels like a equally matched quality 4K HDR blu ray player should be under $500. Thank you so much!
Hey Classy, greetings from germany, thanks for your effort you put into these videos! I have some nooby questions regarding the different picture-setting-videos you made for the A80J. As a new owner of an 65' model, which of this videos is the one I "need"? Its very difficult for me to differentiate between them ;( A general question regarding the settings is why are you leaving Brightness to max and luminescene to high? I often hear or read that due to burn in prevention the oled panels shouldn't be pushed to their " brightness-limits"? Am i'm missing something out? I would really appreciate your help :)
Burn ins burn ins every time you look around somebody is talking about burn ins bro stay away from those burn in seekers videos. Burn ins are not an issue it’s an issue if you are trashing abusing your TV plus it can happen to any type of TV. You can use max brightness on any settings on the Sony if you could and it wouldn’t be there.
Hi Classy, Can you advise me for best settings for watching sport please? I'm in NZ and the best we can get from our Cable set-top box is either 720p or 1080i and everything looks pretty soft
Thanks for this it is very useful but I have one question. I noticed that for most of the profiles you left the brightness level at max but with this being an OLED TV is that okay to do due to image retention and burn in potential?
Tried these on my sony 77 inch A9G and I love them. Only thing i changed is peak luminance on medium and brightness 30 for sdr content. Max brightness and high peak luminance is too bright for me.
Thank you so much for this video! You mention you talk about Cinemotion previously. Can you direct me to that video? Curious when/what setting to use as I notice you have it off on each preset mode in this video. Thanks👍🏼
Is there a similar video like this one but for the Sony a80k that I can watch? My Sony a80k has yellows that look kind of green, and want to see if adjusting these settings can help with that issue.
I am assuming it will be the same. BTW do you have judders (motion issue) on your K when watching low bitrate or cable channels, also some news channels with word tickers (words scrolling across the bottom)?
@@DavidStella if you got NF watch Army of the Dead at 42:10 with the containers and let me know. That's a tough scene for panels. You might see judders. Let me know and I can give you some settings to fix that or if you don't let me know what your motionflow and cinemotion are set to.
Let’s say I adjusted Standard & Custom modes identically according to how you have for Standard mode SDR. Would both modes look the same? Is the | indicator the level that represents Auto or does Auto use the entire range? For instance it’s at 20 for Reality Creation and it’s at 65 depending on the mode selected.
The line is supposed to be the default position for that picture mode, however sometimes it is bugged and not correct (like in HDR/DV gamma setting) For the most part you can make the different picture modes look the same but reality creation does vary in it's effectiveness with different modes, and gamma can be different in different modes
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Thank you. This A80J looks amazing at 2K 60p until Xfinity brings me a box that can produce what makes this tv shine like 4K and HDR. Netflix is the best I can do for HDR, lol. I don’t game or watch dvd’s but your recommendations really dialed in an already nice picture especially the -15 Blue. Took that cold look away.
Hey classy. Thanks so much. I do have a question. How do I increase the luminance of Dolby vision dark to pop more like vivid. I love the color balance of Dolby vision but it just seems “dark” and I’d like to see a little color pop. Not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
Im wondering, is it possible to emulate the 2pt settings with the 10pt or 20pt settings, so that you can bind them to a color temperature setting rather than having them be universal for the input?
You gain brightness using the service menu settings, not with the user menu. But these settings are more accurate and can be used with Dolby Vision dark picture mode.
Watching Netflix on a 55 inch 80j the black seems to beyond black. Aka like parts of scenes where I think there should be some black are just totally black. Bought this TV straight out of the box settings. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated
