Everything I needed to get my C9 looking how I wanted it too. Thank you for posting this video 👍👍

I just got this tv today. I had 2 q90's and they were both lemons. Decided to go with the 77in c9. So far wow!!! I will be using your settings until i get it calibrated. Love you videos bro!!

I just updated my new LG65C9 software and it appears the settings menu has changed!? Great TV!

great picture quality with 4k and hlg! Nice review too:)

Hi I recently purchased my LG C9 OLED and I do plan on getting it professionally calibrated in about 3 months time. I appreciate the picture tips that you have offered to get me through until I can get the tv calibrated. 👍

Great video! Any suggestions for SDR? Which mode is the best out of the box and what settings should I probably tweak?

I have the B7 and i'm still happy with the picture.

My wife just got me the 55 inch B9 yesterday and my god is it gorgeous. I spent a good while adjusting settings and now any screen I look at is a disappointment unless I'm looking at my beautiful TV! The blacks are solid, White text over black loading screens look CRISP while playing on the PS4 Pro and the motion settings idk about you but I actually like the smoothing. I'll mess with more settings today when I get home. Thanks for the video, very well put together.

hello thanks for the test, should I activate the DTM mode hdr game on ps4 pro?

You have an amazing way man. Very easy and smooth. Thanks a lot.

thanks man,keep good work..

I tried the same settings on my new LG OLED CX, looks awesome

Changing settings for a bit. Calibration not sure.

Thank you for your settings!! I just picked up the C9 a couple weeks ago and I'm going to set the C9 to your settings. Thanks again for them and I'd like to add....... You do an awesome job on your video's, you're very clear and easy to follow. I'm looking forward to your next one. Ray 👍👍😊

I normally like a more accurate picture and I do like your HDR settings. Do you have any for SDR?

Are these settings made for the tv to be in a normal room, with ambient light and daytime viewing or for dark room setting?

Hey man. Which of these picture settings would best resemble the “THX” picture setting of the Panasonic’s?

Thanks a lot for this nice and well explained help 👍👍

Thanks for the suggestions!! Just subscribed:)

Nice job bro!👍

What do I put the pixel refresher on? And Logo luminance adjustment? I just brought this T.V. And need help. I followed your setup but some things aren't available?

Hi man just a quick question you know in Tru Motion where you select user and turn De Blur off there is an option in Tru Motion to turn everything off wouldn't that just do the same thing?

I love Soap Opera effect. Wanted it once I saw how it looked on my friends TV back in 2011.

Thanks for your video. I was used to Medium white balance for gaming but I think it really hurts my eyes after more than 1 hour.

I'm looking to get the 65 inch C9, but I have a question. Is it bad to always have the OLED light setting on 100? I would use it primarily for movies and gaming, and make sure all the security measures are enabled in the setting, but I don't want to risk the ui or subtitles damaging the display.

So is HDR mode or Dobly Vision mode better? Because the TV itself does Dobly on netflix, but my ps4 pro does HDR.

Tha_Villaman I just purchased this TV yesterday and I am not able to get into the advanced controls. Is there a way to activate that?

Is there a huge diffence between the Sony A8G and A9G? to make it worthy of $800 more?

Damn im on region the netherlands, i can't get to the same calibration options you use. What source are you calibrating, youtube?

Very nice Mr Villa....maaaaaaaaaaan!

Did you made a video for SDR settings? Just bought a E9 and don't have this much HDR content and a uhd player jet. Maybe you can help me?

There are 2 different picture settings in game-mode , there is standard and HDR settings, cause there is no dynamic tone mapping in standard game mode , only in HDR

How did you get to Dolby picture setting? Just flipped the screen

Hey, I just got an LG 65" C9 yesterday and my settings menu looks nothing like this. Has the tv had updates since this video that changed the menu? For one thing, I do not see those de-judder and de-blur slider settings at all. Same with that color temperature slider. That doesnt show up at all. I can change it to cool, warm 1, warm 2, etc. But that slider isnt there at all. I also show extra picture modes that arent in this video. One is ISF Daytime and the other ISF Nighttime.

Can I download the calibration disk for LG, is it model specific ? Thanks

thx for the video. only thing I really dont like on my tv is the Warm color. it makes the whites look yellow ish. I prefer medium/cold as it makes snow actually look like snow.

Dynamic contrast for me on a B9 set to medium always makes black crush on some dar scenes in HDR and Dolby Vision! I have it on low!

If I have my Cable box & PS4 going to different inputs on my AVR (which passes them through to the TV), will I be able to set game mode picture settings so that they’re automatically selected when I chose the PS4 input on the receiver, or will I need to switch the TV picture mode every time I switch from the Cable box to the PS4?

I bought this TV today in Germany and you dont have the most options you had in your Video. But im very glad, that ive chosen this one.

Hi! I just bought my c9 but it doesnt show the cinema home. Also, my picture settings isn't showing color temperature and instead of advanced controls mine says expert, so it leaves out like tone mapping. Do you know why that is?

Have a 2019 set 55C9 PLA can’t see dynamic tone mapping option, plus white balance option gone ? What setting disables this ? Thanks, don’t agree with W38.....C20 looks very good, W38 has too much saturation

Hi! Thanks for sharing! I just bought one LG C9. Can I check with you if I am able to select between using HDR10 or dolby vision? I have no idea where i can toggle the options. Really hope you can advise. Also I have a PS4 Pro which supports only HDR10. When i use the PS4 Pro, does it automatically choose HDR10? Thanks!!

Should I enable Super resolution to high on HDR Game mode?

Question I have the c9 when I have it set to vivid whey can’t I adjust settings under advanced settings?

You know this job..Thanks.. 🤸

How do you adjust VRR with an xbox one X? Or how do you know its active. I have it checked on the xbox x settings and the details say its supported. I'm a little confused honestly.

Can the same dolby vision settings apply for the LG bx as well?

Nice work! A question about Gaming Mode: Dynamic Tone Mapping enabled does not affect input lag?

I’m only streaming not using HDMI cord. Should I use both for a better picture? Or is that a dumb question?

I hope it’s less likely to burn in then my c7 that I’m waiting to get repaired hope they don’t send it back to me saying sorry we can’t do anything with it 🙄update they replaced the panel 😁but delivered it back to me with dints in the bezel 😩

What is the video called, that you used for setting up the TV? 🤙

Any burn in issues running the oled light at 100 ?

So I found a new LG 65b8 for 1.5k, is it a value price, and do you recommend at that price?

How do you get your live wallpapers to run when tv is not being used

I don't have the option to set the color temperature in Cinema Home. You had this issue before? I have the LG C9 OLED.

Is there a difference between gaming calibration and movie calibration?

New sub man!! Good stuff! Keep it coming! By the way I thought the sharpness was good on 20 also.😁👌

How do I get into expert settings?

could you one for the lg cx picture settings

this is the best picture settings video I found. thank you brother. only thing I dont like is Warm picture. makes whites look yellowish. I leave it at medium. but I guess thats just personal preference.

Everything is close to my settings besides I did 62 on color I did w10 because it was actually the most accurate white point lg may be a cool image but it gets warm quick also and sharpness is down to 10 other then that it's the same for cinema home dynamic tone mapping is on and the peak brightness is on high so it can hit its peak brightness if it isnt on high it will max out at 400 nits still looks great with it off tho the luminosity of this TV is incredible

TKS for making these informative videos! I just bought my 1st OLED, an LG C9, still setting up, that's why I'm here, but, I notice when you click on PIC Mode, at the Top it Says HDR Picture Mode, mine says Picture Mode, and you have Cinema Home and Cinema, I only have Cinema.....do u know WHY the differences? Also, being new, How did you switch to Dolby Vision Settings...I don't see this option either? tks

First of all I like the thank you for all the tips and advice you given to everyone as well as myself, 'so thanks mate', I like the way you present your videos you've got a really good demeanor and you come across with your unassuming gentle Manor please don't think I'm brown-nosing or anything like that, I give credit where credit is due. It is really a pleasure to watch your videos, you really have got a little bit of glass, if you don't mind I'll tell you a little bit of my audio/ visual background and the predicament I'm in right now and maybe you can lend your two cents to me, at the moment in the bedroom I have a Sony Android LED TV along with monitor Audio Max 200 speakers and the brains of the operation is the Sony STR 1080 after watching a few of your videos Iam now in the middle of sorting out my living room, I have just purchased the LG OLED E8 I'm thinking of getting the marantz 7012 cause of its 9.2 channel as far as volume goes I've got to keep the Boom Boom tempo down a little considering I got neighbours all around me, so that's why I've decided to go with four small Heights speakers and 4 bookshelf speakers and maybe a nice centre channel speaker because I have taken on board what you have said in your previous videos about how important the centre channel speaker is. I haven't yet decided on what speakers to go with it, it would probably be average monitor audio speakers and maybe pay the extra and get a bronze or even a silver series Center channel speaker I would love to go with your B&W like you've got, but unfortunately my cabinet would not accommodate a speaker of that size, but to get back to my predicament if I was to go with what I just mentioned would I need external amplification with that 9.2 setup bearing in mind the subs are probably will be a 10 inch and an 8-in in but what I am thinking and maybe here you could correct me that considering they're all small or even bookshelf speakers am I able to get away without having external amplification, but if you was to advise me that it makes a big difference then I will follow your advice. If you are still reading this "considering I'm a bit of a knob head" not only are you sincere but you're truly are a diamond geezer. I can only imagine the amount of effort it takes to produce a professional video that you put out there for our sakes nevermind the time consuming effort all the editing etc regardless if you get back to me or not I just want to say a big thank you and please keep the videos coming because I really really do appreciate them and I just want to finish with a big thank you to you and your missus for putting up with all your shit so THANKYOU.

When i choose color i dont have W or anything else. Its just, go from 0 to 100 and 30 make the picture almost with no colour. Any tips for it?

Hey man! Are you doing a calibration/picture settings for the CX as well? Im getting mine tomorrow and would love to try out your recommended settings for that model. Love from Sweden!

Many of these settings don't show up on my tv for some reason. Mine is 55 inch. Maybe yours it seems have more settings which makes this video hard to follow since I can't find the same settings ??

What is dolby vision how do you get there??

Nice one bro

Why setting TruMotion to “user” and setting dejudder and deblur to 0 instead of using “off” ?

I don’t have the “Cinema home” picture mode, only “Cinema” Why is that? Running the latest firmware

I'm upgrading from the C7 to the C9, my C9 is coming in the morning. Thanks for the vid mate, will try your settings. I'll be scouring the internet for the next month, looking for the best C9 calibration settings.😂😂😂

I have older lg 4k tv. Hdr activates when I use certain Netflix video. But it never auto activate when I use RU-vid videos that claim to have hdr

Where you get the intro song from?

Can you do this for the CX?

I have the same tv lg c9 65" and I try your setup no for me I like it on vivid

Great job the the lg c9 looked much better than samsung 8k tv in bestbuy.

Do you recommend HGiG for Dynamic Tone Mapping?

Great job bro & what do you think is better Sealed or Ported subs?

Will the same settings apply to the BX?

I like vivid better than the game mode when I use my Xbox one X are you supposed to use game mode or is it just preference?

Grazie mille perfect Hdr + Dolbyvision 👍👍👍👍👍

Cheers 👍 I much prefer the cooler Medium colour temp tho. With the warm options there's just no pop.

villaman. i love your reviews. u have a great eye for tech. i love technology. i am also a gaming enthusiast. and make music. if you ever need custom music or sounds for your tech or personal demos. let me know. i can also master audio in surround sound/ and of course stereo for music. peace.

Brilliant video man! I'm hopefully getting an E9 in a few months so I will definitly be coming back to this video

Lg oled or Sony oled ? Which one do u think is better

Why not just turn tru motion off if the bars are going to be turned to zero on blur reduction and judder reduction?

Forgive my ignorance but my picture modes are different than yours. I have a cinema (user mode) and an hdr effect mode. is there a way to get to HDR mode picture settings? I'm running software version 03.60.04.

Can’t click on advance controls please help

Fell on my 3d LG Friday bought this exact TV today and bugger me when unwrapping new hdmi cable it hit the screen and made a tiny scratch can barely see it when off and 99.9 % invisible when on but bloody gutted now I've got that off my chest great vid very helpful

Any thoughts on best settings to watch soccer. players look blurry, particularly their faces

You picture menu says : HDR picture mode, mine only says “picture mode”, why is that ? How can I add it ? Also , anyone experienced some bad quality in old content which is not Dolby vision ?

Do these settings translate well to normal LG 4K TVs?

Dude, great review! Although I like the "soap opera effect ". I think movies without them just don't look smooth. I know that the director for the last Mission Impossible movies didn't like it - but there's obviously a market for it , because it wouldn't be an option on most TV's. I have a 60 hz television in my room and it doesn't stand up in smoothness.

Is it really ok leaving the oled light at 100? I've heard that increases the chance for burn in and that its reccomended to drop it down some

Hi. Can anyone please help and give me the LG 65 inch stand length in inches. Been looking for it everywhere. Thanks in advance.

Purrrfect

I bought the sony A9G oled I find the picture very dark or they suppose to dark I had a LG oled it was much brighter

Is the sony A8G alot darker then LG C9? and is hdmi 2.1 a must have?

What is the best setting for gaming on C9? Mine feel stutter/judder on ps4 pro.
