Trouble setting 4K at 120Hz? Possible reasons explained here! 1. you need to have a compatible graphics card with HDMI 2.1 output. This appeared on the NVIDIA RTX30 series and later. This is the number 1 reason why you might not be able to set 4K 120Hz 2. Make sure you've got a suitable HDMI 2.1 capable HDMI cable. Try a different one if in doubt 3. If setting res/refresh rate in NVIDIA control panel, you need to scroll down past the first section of resolutions for TV, and find the PC resolutions section. Here you should find the right options to select 4. If all else fails, going in to Windows display settings and setting your resolution and refresh rate in there, instead of through NVIDIA control panel can often work

@SirMaikZaLot Год назад

Very good piece of info! i was wondering why i couldnt get 4k@120hz working on my 1080ti. Not that it could run most modern game at that resolution but still. :D

2.2 for SDR content (non HDR Content) is wrong for SDR Content (Almost All Games and Desktop for the Best Colors also for non HDR Games You Use the BT Gamma Settings)

@Avantime Год назад

You can get 4K 120Hz if you switch to 8-bit colour depth in your PC. I'm on a Asus G713 gaming laptop with a RTX 3070 and HDMI 2.0b port, and I can get 4K 120Hz running fine on the C2 with a random HDMI cable. Obviously I will lose HDR but I got blockout curtains and I'm perfectly fine working in a dark room.

@Avantime Год назад

@@TheLiveCoach I originally thought HDMI 2.0b couldn't run 4k 120Hz, even with the RTX 3070 - The stickied message said it's because the *desktop* RTX 30XX cards have HDMI 2.1 output for 4K 120Hz + HDR, so probably not RTX 30XX laptops with only HDMI 2.0b output - the stickied message implies that it's the HDMI port version that makes the difference, not the card. Well I'm getting 4K 120Hz with 8-bit colour on HDMI 2.0b, so I'm assuming RTX 20XX cards/AMD equivalent and earlier can also do 4K 120Hz, just with 8-bit colour and no HDR.

THANKS for this, big time. I just unboxed my new LG 42" OLED and not only did you help me get the settings to my (and your) preference, but you helped me to better understand those settings -- and somehow, along the way, fixed my HDMI overscan problem. My new screen looks 100% better, especially in my dark room. I'm sure I've more to learn and more settings to adjust, but this video was invaluable. Invaluable!!

@adithyagulab Год назад

Amazing tutorial. I have been having text issues with my LG C2 42inch connected to an M2 Pro Mac mini. Changing the HDMI input mode to PC has drastically improved the edges of the text. It's now more readable with smooth edges.

@cheema33 Год назад

For me, turning sharpness to zero was the biggest improvement. The TV was applying sharpness to text! That never ever ends well. It was making it look jaggy. If you are trying to use the TV as a computer monitor, you want to turn off all features that try to *enhance* the image.

@Tomiply Год назад

Ironically, on the C2, it applies an anti-aliasing like filter when set to 10 sharpness, which makes stuff look LESS jaggied, weirdly enough. If you go over 10, however, then it starts adding sharpening.

@I_Crit_My_Pants 11 месяцев назад

I don't see either of these issues with the sharpness filter but I am also running a desktop resolution of 6k downscaled to 4k.

@tftcentral 11 месяцев назад

@SheSaidShewaslevel18 any particular reason?

@ClassyTechCalibrations 2 года назад

Nice walkthrough with easy description for the average user. Just an fyi, at native 4k resolution, sharpness setting of 0-10 is the same. You can verify this with a loupe and see no change in pixels activity until you get to 11. Below native 4k, 10 will apply a very slight AA type effect.

@willianwojcik Год назад

Hi I've been following tftcentral since my first 3D monitor, Asus VG278HE. I went through several calibrations with multiple monitors and I deeply appreciate your time dedicated to this. The C2's calibration is just perfect. Grettings from Brazil. Thank you very much

@brianpearce6859 Год назад

Thank you. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to figure out why my C2 was displaying noticeably dull colors when given an HDR signal, and 4:2:2 chroma when given an SDR signal. Your first tip "set the input to operate in PC mode" solved both issues.

@JacobAndJamal Год назад

Thank You ! I was on the fence of getting a LG 32in gaming Ultra Wide or the LG 42in OLED to use with MacBook Pro & XBox X… I just bought the C2 because it was on sale ($799 Best Buy) and actually cheaper than monitor. I could figure out why my Mac overscan wouldn’t work , and why color looked jagged. After going through these settings it looks SO much better 🙏🏽

Really cool to see you still answer questions so long after the release, thanks for that. - I have one question. You touched upon it in a different reply to a comment, but why the warm 48 white balance? - I am asking from the perspective of naturalism as it feels unnaturally warm. - You mention it might have changed in software updates since the upload. However, on the off-chance it has not changed, what is the reason for this level of warmth? Eye care? Color accuracy? Cause personally I truly struggle seeing warm 48 as accurate. Please correct me! Thanks.

@forbannitus Год назад

When I switched to an HDMI hookup for the LG C2 42-inch Evo OLED, I was only reaching 60 Hz on a system that should get 120 Hz (AMD 3950X and Radeon RX 6800 XT). I switched the HDMI cable, which I suspect was pretty old and was able to reach 4K @ 120Hz. The Monoprice 8K Certified Braided Ultra High-Speed Cables offered by Amazon not only work but are reasonably priced (on sale) @ $9 for 6 feet long as I write this post.

@elchinophil1 Год назад

Just wanted to say Thank you for making this tutorial. I just purchased 42" C2 and i'm using it for both PC and MAC. I learned a few things from this video and on my own. The HDMI 2.1 feature inside the cabling is extremely important. It really will restrict the machine's ability to get to peak performance. I found out also that many gaming monitors in the past do not ship with a 2.1 cable but only a 2.0 cable which is 18 gbp 1440p/120hz but 4k @ 60hz. All RTX 30's series can support HDMI 2.1 so you're good at the source. Now you just need the HDMI 2.1 cable. For mac I used a USBC dongle and even though it said 4k @ 60hz the image was still very laggy a bit and not sharp like a monitor. So I ended up using a cable that was USBC -> HDMI (hdmi2.0 std) and WOW did that make a huge difference. It said 4k @ 60hz just like before but this time it was very buttery smooth and the text was very sharp. After I applied TFTcentral's recommendation, it looks even better now and my eyes don't hurt from the OLED brightness that was at 100.... Share the knowledge! Thank you everyone.

Thanks for the guide, helped me a lot as a reference where to find what - liking the c2 so far, came from a 32" 4k 144hz IPS Panel, no regrets 🙂 Just one question about SDR / HDR Are you always using HDR on in Windows? Or you toggle that based on what you are doing? e.g. if you watch movies, game etc. you turn HDR on, if you're working or standard web browsing you disable it and use SDR?

@tftcentral Год назад

Personally prefer to enable it only for HDR content. Some apps support auto switching for you in to HDR mode which are useful (eg MadVR in media player for movies)

@macd7743 Год назад

I set the "Prevent Input Delay (Input Lag)" setting to "Boost" and it did make a difference. However, I'm only currently running the panel at 60 Hz because I haven't yet been able to beat scalper's bots to secure a current gen GPU upgrade. (A 2080ti cannot output 120 Hz over HDMI.) So, if you're only able to drive 60 Hz I'd recommend trying out the "Boost" setting. I plan on reverting to the "Standard" setting after I'm able to upgrade my GPU.

@DGPG35 Год назад

A 2080ti can output 4K 120Hz by using either a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter or a USB Type-C to HDMI 2.1 adapter (using DSC). You just cannot do full chroma 4:4:4 at 4K 120 Hz 10-bit, you can do 4:2:2 or 4:2:0.

@tftcentral Год назад

You can also do that with straight HDMI to HDMI with the chroma drop. At least I’ve done that on the CX before from the same card

@perfectconsumer9177 Год назад

Thank you so very much for this! I purchased this TV assuming that I would be able to calibrate my tv using Calman for LG Home, and much to my consternation, LG had problems with the pattern generator and this wasn't possible (as it was with my LG C9.) Being able to eliminate the unsightly blue tint is so wonderful, and I cannot thank you enough, and being able to get 120 nits in SDR is fantastic. You're my hero. I am downloading this in the event that I need to refer to it over the years, as I'm sure will be the case. Calibration is confusing business, and your video was clear and concise. These settings will also help C2 owners not excessively trigger Pixel Refresher, which decays image quality over time while further preserving artistic intent.

@tftcentral Год назад

You’re very welcome, thanks for taking the time to feed back. Lg should be fixing the internal pattern generators at some point hopefully so Calman can be used properly in all modes.

Periodically change windows scale and layout every month. In games that permit, hide the HUD. To watch movies set your display driver to output ycbcr222 so they look right. Any other questions feel free to ask. I have been using LG Oled for years without image retention.

Important !! : Color gamut 55 is now correct in SDR Game Optimiser mode and HDR Game Optimiser mode. Maybe it got fixed with firmware. You can compare it with filmmaker/isf dark, but change in those color gamut to auto, gamma to 2.2 and lower brightness a bit. You will see that those modes are the same with color gamut 50 as Game Optimiser with 55.

I'm no professional at this stuff and I've been learning a lot from your video and the others out there. Most settings recommended are pretty close to each other. That said, all of them state for SDR to have Color Temp at Warm 46-50 range. I brought up a white polar bear video on RU-vid and moved this Color temp from 0-50 and the further I went down (to 50) the more this image looked yellow to me (not white). Curious is this setting that is recommend by so many a result of a computer program telling pros this or is this the common agreement between pros? Just curious if this is important piece or more like a wine tasting and it's preference.

@tftcentral Год назад

The setting in our video was based on a white point measurement with a Spectroradiometer device, calibrating it to 6500k. It might vary from sample to sample, but it’s normally around that mark. The problem is that the screen is so cool by default, when you first make the switch it looks too warm, but it might then need a little getting used to. Although ultimately it’s about what looks right and comfortable for you, so by all means have it a bit cooler if that looks better

I promise the yellow effect will dissappear and you will see the intended accurate white balance. Over time even the brightness levels targeting those lower nits truthfully is to retain a cinematic/film look. 100 nits brightness really delivers dynamic lighting when viewing SDR movies and games. But trust me my man i would say for your situation do a blend of these settings and your own preference. I'm all for retaining creator intent but when you can't see based on ur room conditions or anything just fix it lol.

the whole point of calibration isnt that youre meant to get used to it. why would anyone prefer saturated yellows to actual colour accuracy? if youre playing a game and you have for example snow, green plants, yellow sun and a colourful character youd want it all to actually be accurate. why the fuck would i want yellow snow and yellow grass? to me that makes no sense. i dunno about sdr content, but i tried this on pc, with lg c2 and god of war looked absolutely dogshit thanks to these hdr settings@@ultragtman1563

I just got an LG C3 42". This video has been extremely useful! I went ahead and further tweaked a couple of options: - "Adjust Logo Brigthness" OFF under "OLED Care" - In the "Service Menu" (accesed via ColorControl program) I disabled "TPC" and "GSR" under "OLED" Arguably turning these options off "increases the risk of burn in" but I can live with that in order to avoid ANY sort of annoying screen dimming.

Perfect. You sir are gentleman and a scholar. My LG C2 finally looks the way it should. I have my PC and my PS5 plugged in to the LG. I've been in those settings over and over for last 2 months trying to get the right combonation that unlocks that magic. I'm gonna need to add Wizard to my first statement! I'm just gonna put this Tvs remote control down now that I dont have to have it like it's my precious! Nice! One other thing, just below me (Joe Micelli) said changing the input to PC mode will cause the text to look terrible...I beg to differ.

@donkeysunited Год назад

You'll probably get used to the bigger size in time but if not, then you might be sitting too close to it. Try pulling the desk away from the wall and put the TV up on a separate desk or book case behind the desk. Or get a TV mount (a tall floor standing one is under $100 and much cheaper than a good desk arm mount).

@gunnarthegumbootguy7909 Год назад

Thanks a lot I got this for use as a monitor because i've always been annoyed with the backlight of lcd screens so i've thought about getting an oled and there had been a lot of things online about this one being good for monitor use and when i was browsing a major swedish electronics shop website i saw they had them on sale and on top of the sale price they also had one that was "opened package" meaning another -1/3 off the price so i jumped on it and this place also takes bitcoin payment and the bitcoin is pretty high now so it was a way to get rid of some as a payment method instead of selling it to kronor and incurring gains tax. But i never had a tv before, i mean we had one at home before i moved from home in like 2002, but i've never even seen a smart tv in real life except in electronics stores so i had no idea how many things there were to set up so this was super super helpful... one thing though the color temperature when setting it to -48 on hdr and -48 in sdr is very different... hdr being much much warmer in normal windows programs, windows ui (not video/game content) is it supposed to be like that? I mean i'm not going to run it in hdr mode when just using regular desktop software, but still... I never had anything that support real hdr before so i'm not sure if this is just the way it's supposed to be. edit: nvm I realized it just cleared all my settings to default settings when i switched back to sdr for some reason just had to set it all again... now they look the same color temp

Is it possible to calibrate colours and white balance at different signal levels in the Game Optimizer mode the way it's possible in other picture modes like the Expert ones? Does it allow to set color space at auto? Or you're basically stuck with panel's native performance if you want optimized latency?

Thank you for this comprehensive video. One thing though: You demonstrated two very different kinds of calibrations modes -- the first for regular desktop use and the second for movies/streaming/gaming etc. Can you set and save two different profiles for these calibrations, or do you have to manually change it every time you switch from one mode to another?

@tftcentral 6 месяцев назад

Each preset mode can be saved once you’ve configured it so you can easily and quickly switch h between the two. Also you can trigger the tv to auto switch to the game mode for you if you want when it detects a game. There’s a setting for auto game response in the menu somewhere 😀

@SSDART Год назад

my issue, Windows and nVidia controller says i've put it on PC 2k 120hz. But the TV info still says 3840x2160p @30 edit, ended up putting Nvidia back to native Ultra 4k, 60hz. TV noted the change, then put it back to PC 2k 120hz and tv corrected it's self. Got worried for a second lol

@choocharoo Год назад

@TFTCentral heya. So using a 3080ti, 4K 120 isn’t happening. I’ve hear we can’t get the c2 to output 1440p Ultrawide emulation style for much better framerate. Is this something you could advise on how to proceed? I know in windows could change the resolution but I’m wondering what tv settings etc might need to be changed

@tftcentral Год назад

Read the pinned comment for how to get 4k 120Hz working :) if you wanted to run at a lower res in games to drive frame rate then that’s fine, but just change the res in the game or windows if you really need to. No need to change anything on the screen

@Eagle-Striker 8 месяцев назад

Hi, I bought the G2 and connected it to a receiver that passes through a Mac Mini source. Do you still recommend PC input with your settings if I don't play games? I only plan to surf the web and watch TV/Movies. One more question. The Mac Mini in 4K makes it way too small to read the screen from 4 meters away. Do you recommend down scaling it to HD1080P? Would I lose quality when watching HD TV shows and downloaded 4K movies? Do your recommend me to then set it back to 4K every time I watch a HD TV Show and HD/4K movie? So confused thus would really appreciate your expertise on this. Thanks in advance!

@tftcentral 8 месяцев назад

I’d still select the input mode as PC as that allows support for full 444 chroma. You’ll want that for your uses too. For the 4K question, are there no scaling options in Mac OS so that once you’ve set 4k res you can set scaling at 125%, 150%, 200% and so on? That would allow you to make text larger while still using the sharper resolution. And then when you play video etc it will also still be in 4K. That’s the best way to do it

@atomicskull6405 3 месяца назад

Current LG TVs apply a single pixel anti anti smearing filter in PC mode at 120hz btw. You can see it if you put a black and white checkerboard consisting of single pixels up, the black pixels in between the white ones will turn dark grey in 120hz mode. You CAN NOT disable this on the TV but you can temporarily trick the TV into not doing it by switching the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 and back, but the filter will come back at the next screen mode change or if you cycle the power on the TV (it's a useful bug basically). The filter only kicks in where there are single very bright pixels next to black pixels, it will not affect a checkerboard with 2x2 pixel squares for example or a black background and white pixel grid that have 2 black pixels between each white one. Once you notice this filter you'll never be able to unsee it.
