Great job Darko to stress that the neutral sharpness on these TV's is indeed 10 ( and not 0 as other youtubers were insisting on ). My eyes are thanking you!
Yes, this neutral sharpness that is not 0 was highlighted back in 2015 by Joel Silver when I was going to the ISF certification. So that's why I always check on pattern what the correct value is. Still, I always encourage people to try different values, especially for lower resolution content to benefit from the advanced picture processors in modern TVs.
These settings are spectacular, especially the gaming ones. It was well worth the $5 I paid. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the support! Very happy to hear that the result is great!
Wow, everything I ever wanted to know but was afraid to ask !
Awesome! Glad to be of help!
I have the PS5 connect to the C1 & the C1 to the AV 5.1 receiver. What are the best sound settings on the TV & PS for passthrough?
Thanks for this info it was very useful. 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Want to buy the LG A1 for my bedroom, watching movies and series but also play in some Playstation 5 when FIFA 22 will soon be released. I will buy the C1 or B1 77 inch when the price comes down. But for now the A1 will do especially since fifa is locked to 60 fps. My question is, Will these settings work on the A1 as well?
Just downloaded HDR & SDR files for my Lg C1. Can't wait to try them. What do you suggest for Full HD 1080p? For SDR the recommended picture mode is ISF BRIGHT. Would this work for dark room viewing as well?
Hi , I come from Belgium, I bought an oled65b1, the tv came out of the box even after some adjustment the brightness was not good, very dark image. thank you for your video I now have a very bright image. good continuation
Thanks for sharing!
Soooo many settings lol. I spent hours messing with these tonight on different content. I’m still not sure what I should be using haha
Hehe - that’s their idea - keep as many people confused for as long as possible :). What are you mostly watching - movies, games…?
@@TVguyDarko Really a mix - Netflix, HBO Max, RUclips TV, Disney+, Sports, Xbox Series X (although I haven’t moved it downstairs yet to connect it). I just want to get the TV and movie watching superb for now, as a lot of the settings I’ve tried with these types of recommended videos come off a bit dark to me, but I’m coming from a nice bright Samsung. I guess what I really want is to be able to find a setting, dial it in and “set it and forget it” and not have to constantly be changing picture modes etc. My Sony X800H seems to be a lot more friendly when using the settings menu..
Thanks, you really helped me out here. Great video.
Glad to be of help!
thanks for the tips and already ordered your settings . Quick acces is also useful press 0 long time and there you can adjust your most useful apps with quick button . Pressing mute button fast several times there you can get rid of logo and other stuff. grtz
Great tip, thanks for sharing. I will demonstrate it in my next video.
Hi any tips for setting up LG A1
Hey Dallas - same tips as shown in this video. You won’t have Blur reduction since the panel is 60 Hz.
@TV Calibration with Darko, I am having some issues when playing games on PS 5 with LG C1. Only during cutscenes I notice blurry movement of characters and I am not sure if this is problem of the tv or game itself. I am not sure if there is any solution to this and I am forced to play game on standard mode. How do I have smooth motion for these games? OLED motion pro dims the screen a lot. What would you suggest?
Want to use your settings for LG OLED B1, connected to a PS5 and Apple TV 4k. At the moment I really do not know which of your settings - SDR or HDR - I have to buy. I want to get the best out of it. Some of the streaming services offer tv shows in HDR, some are SDR. Do I have to switch each time? Is there a possibility to create 2 new profiles, one for SDR and one for HDR, without changing settings on the existing profiles?
Hi! For the same input, TV will switch automatically to SDR or HDR mode depending on the signal. So you only need to adjust picture mode once for each input and TV will stay in that mode (for example Filmmaker mode). The exception is Game picture mode which can be triggered automatically when TV detects a game (ALLM support). So if you have PS5 on HDMI1 and you select Filmmaker mode (or other you prefer) for SDR and HDR and you also adjust SDR and HDR Game mode as I explain in my documents, then you won’t need to visit picture modes - TV will do this automatically. Hope this helps :)
Hi!
Thank you for a great video! It helps me alot to understand my tv.
But the strange thing is that standard looks like it still have a better picture. It is clearer and sharper.
Filmmaker mode for exemple is more ”yellow/dark and not sharp at all.
What do you think I'm doing wrong, or we just talking about taste?
Really need help, has an oled A1.
Best regards
Hi! Yes, the perception of Standard and similar modes is like that because of brighter image due to increased amount of blue component and because of increased sharpness. Filmmaker and similar modes display faithful image to the original source, so similar what you will see in a movie theater. I would advise that you try to get used to this yellow/warm image (it takes some time but it is worth it) and adjust OLED light (and gamma if necessary) to make the image brighter. Related to Sharpness, you are free to adjust the Sharpness control to the level you want.
Related to warmth of the image, here is the explanation: ruclips.net/video/-JEFu2M2tt8/видео.html
Hi mate 🙋♂️ how are you ? I've recently stumbled upon this channel and I'm so glad that I have 😁
Very nice content, great pic, quality ,excellent experience overall, keep up a great job 😁👍..
(one question if it's ok to ask , where are you from mate , your accent is very familiar 😀.No need to answer if you're are not ok with it)
All the best to you and to all good people out there 🙋♂️, cheers 🍻🍻🍻
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for the great review of my videos - definitely a motivation for me to test more TVs in the future! I'm located in Croatia - have you ever been here?
@@TVguyDarko Hi buddy🙋♂️, ty for the reply so far my resources for oled calibration were HDTV test and Quantum tv , love them both and I respect their opinions.For your question have I been to BEAUTIFUL CROATIA so far, my answer is ja jesam iz Hrvatske i jako sam ponosan sto imamo i mi osobu koja se moze mjeriti sa strancima u kalibraciji tv-a.Svaka cast stari sve naj bolje u daljnem radu sa RUclipsom 😉
Sorry buddy I forgot to ad The Tech Giant 😅😅😅,my bad sorry again.
Dragi @TVguyDarko tvoja sugestija je bila da uzmem lg c2 sada. Imam dobar dil i za g1 model. 1100 eur za 55 inca i 1450 eur za 65 inca novi sa 5 god garancije. C2 je 50 eur skuplji u 55 i 200 eur suplji u 65 inca. Tvoj predlog. Hvala
Hello I purchased your settings and you said you prefer tone mapping: Do you prefer tone mapping just for movies or also for gaming?
Hi - I prefer it for both, but it is best for you to check both options and decide if you prefer more details in highlights or not.
Hi I can find the energy serving mode under the support. It’s a new LG GI I just bought and set up. Thanks
Yes, I heard they did and update, but still you should be able to find settings somewhere in the user menus.
Hey I just bought the TV too and found the energy saving menu under support>oled care>device self care
After i download the files do i just follow the steps to make the picture better and then it is over.? Do i need something else? Like calibration stuff? Or can i do everything with my remote?
Hey Josip! Great questions I definitely need to answer in a FAQ in my store. Yes, you can go setting by setting and follow the tips from the document. You do not need the equipment, just two test patterns to verify black and white level (explained in the document).
Hello Darko. I had a question for your game settings in SDR and HDR. Do you use standard, RPG, FPS, or RTS under game optimizer game bar for your settings. Thank you for your settings.
Hey, I use Standard since the picture is adjusted in Picture menu to be as accurate as possible, so no need to use another modifier.
Am getting the B1 in a few days and will mostly be using it for watching HD tv, Netflix, prime, etc. Should I get the SDR or HDR settings? Thanks
Hello Parikshat - today a mixture of SDR and HDR content is available on major streaming platforms, so it is best to get both. If you do, add both products in a cart for a discount. Thanks so much for considering my products!
Hi Brother, I have LG BX VRR info always shows me 8bit for RUclips, Amazon prime, apple tv I am using Apple tv as my streaming box any suggestion to make it 10bit?
Hi - VRR is not working for those apps, so I would not bother with the fact that it states 8-bit.
Much difference in image after professional calibration?
Thank you for your work! I have the LG 55 OLED A1. I bought it with calibration from the dealer and the settings are quite similar to yours! However when reproducing film or tv series I notice some dynamic scenes are not fluid. Especially when the camera is moving from top to the bottom of the screen (f.I. Panoramic view moving from the sky to a city or land). The static images are ok! I did some tests like Burn-in, DSE and vertical banding. Vertical banding acceptable, no burn-in. DSE test shows that the the images are not fluid. I have 60Hz TV and I cannot manage Image Blur. Do you know how to solve this problem? Or is a problem of my panel? Thank you in advance!
Hi Sam! If I understand correctly, by "not fluid" image you mean that there are variations of brightness that you see when camera pans across the uniform surface? This seems to be the issue with the panel itself and cannot be fixed (not even if you had Blur reduction option). Perhaps you could make a video and share it here so that I see what exactly you are concerned with? Thanks!
Fun fact lg a1 is the most color accurate out of the box. I was surprised
Excellent video Darko. One question, I bought an Lg Oled C1 65 inches, what picture mode would you recommend to have if I want to prevent burn in? I have standard mode. And also do you know if when watching Netflix the bars that appear at the top and in the bottom could cause burn in? Thank you
Hey Daniel, what a great TV you've bought! Here are my tips to avoid burn-in: ruclips.net/video/renV1x2xTAY/видео.html In addition to it, I would recommend that you keep the TV on standby (and not to unplug it from power) so that it can run its compensation cycles.
Man this video looks so sharp and clean on my LG CX. The camera you’re using is great! I mean even colors are extremely accurate.
Kinda crazy when you can get better quality video from a YT video, shot on a consumer camera, than half the streaming content out there being filmed with high dollar cameras, and going through post etc…

My LG C1 tv Does not have expert bright space when I am watching regular tv or sports it has dolby vision . Which picture mode Do I use and what are the setting for that mode?
Interesting, so your regular TV is in Dolby Vision format? In that case I recommend Dolby Vision Dark mode and you can adjust sharpness and motion as in this video.
@@TVguyDarko where is dolby vision dark mode. Is that in standard,Vivid, Cinema, cinema home or game optimizer?I have alta fiber
No difference to my gx so in hdr do you always have truemotion on user ?
Yes, I use this combination and I do not see any artefacts or issues with it. Which combination do you prefer?
@@TVguyDarko i am trying yours now i was keeping tru motion off for hdr 4k movies and for my fast action sport which are in 4k i was using expert dark witg tru motion on natural .with all your modes do you always have the contrast around 80 even if Dolby vision too ?
Hey man. I am a complete newbie to these oled tvs I just purchased the c1 in the 48 range. Would the pdfs be suitable for that size range
Hey Omar, thanks for the comment and welcome to the wonderful world of OLED TVs. Yes, tips from this video and from my files are fully applicable to your TV.
@@TVguyDarko thanks Darko final question before I purchase is I watch TV through sky which is satellite TV HD 1080p would this be sdr or hdr? Thanks
Hey Darko I recently purchased your settings and I was wondering do you you prefer tone mapping on or off and which tone mapping option you use in gaming? I heard hgig is the way to go?
Hey Rahimtx! Thanks for the purchase. I prefer Tone mapping and keep it turned on when available. For gaming HGiG is the way to go to avoid both input device and TV doing tone mapping on the picture.
@@TVguyDarko I was also wondering which game optimizer present you are using and did you do any tweaks to them?
@@TVguyDarko a@€
Would these settings be the same for C1 2022?
hello great video! i recently brought my lg c1 and i notice some black dots on the border top side of the screen that come and goes every time, this is normal? i have about 18 hours of use!
Hey Jean, is this happening in all picture modes / on all sources? It doesn't sound like something normal.
@@TVguyDarko yes in all sources! i think is multiple dead pixels, their gone when the screen move due to oled care!i so sad because is my first oled!
Hello Darko, box about thé TCL c825???
On my C1 if I have it set to warm50 the whites looks greenish but if I set it to cold 20 or in the middle they look blueish.
Hi - please check out this video - ruclips.net/video/-JEFu2M2tt8/видео.html
Hi, i've got B1 and have 3 questions.
1) Why colour gamut have to be in auto detect mode? I read that it works only when you will connect tv with PC, otherwise TV shows his full potential on that 2nd option - i have it translated to minw language as "local"
2) screen aspect ratio - you have 16:9, i can see on mine tv "original". I usually watch netflix and other streaming platform movies. What should i use?
3) In White Balance settings you have Point set to "Low", i have standard "high", never changed that. What's the difference?
Hi - auto gamut will display colors according to input color space, so it is recommended for all options. Aspect ratio Original is also good as long as you see the entire picture.
White balace low and high allow you to adjust red, green and blue channels for bright and dark area of the screen. It doesn’t matter on which option you leave it, both are active all the time.
I don't have Energy Saving in Support. How come??
Has energy saving option been disabled in newest Update? Only have half of the options in support category?
Haven't tested the new version, but I heard they did some changes in the meantime.
Great video, tnx!
I have a question about LG C1 picture modes (when using TV as a monitor).
Now I was wondering when you change your HDMI input name to PC (in order to get low input lag and 120hz, chroma 4:4:4 or RGB). Can you then also change the picture mode?
At the moment I have a Samsung QLED. There you also have to change your input name to "PC" in order the TV to recognize your computer and to play with low input lag, 120Hz etc. When applied, you can't change the picture mode. It stays as a "standard" picture mode.I found a workaround. After connecting PC to TV, change the input name from "PC" to "Bluray player" and then you can change picture mode to "Movie", which has better picture settings (colors, contrast etc.), you will sacrifice a little bit of input lag. But it is barely noticeable.
So I was wondering is there also a similar workaround with LG OLED-s? can you also change the picture setting to a better one, when using TV as monitor or are you locked to the "standard picture" mode ?
Hey Kristjan, to answer your question I've connected my laptop via HDMI cable to LG C9 OLED TV, changed input name to PC and confirmed that I got full color resolution. Then I opened picture modes and noticed that all are listed - from Game to Expert. So the answer to your question is yes - you can choose more accurate picture mode in PC mode on LG OLED TVs.
@@TVguyDarko Thank you very much for the help!
Question, I purchased the LG B1 oled. This tv is supposed to have perfect blacks but unfortunately I see a lot of blur in some of the dark shades kind of like my cheap vizio. Any recommendations? Example: in watching a youtube video called Olafur Arnalds Sunrise (the 10min length one) The first two minutes of the video is in a dark room and a lot of the shades are blurry.
Hey, do you have TruMotion enabled with User setting and DeBlur set to max value?
cao darko, nedavno sam kupio C1, imam 2 tv operatera, total tv(satelitska) sve prikazuje u sdr-u a mts(optika) sve je u hdr-u, reci mi dali je to tako normalno i kakav ti je savet da ga podesim, poz Yozza
Escribo desde España,donde puedo conseguir por escrito estos settings.
Muchas gracias

Pozdrav Darko!Imao sam burn in na B7 pa su mi zbog ekonomske neisplativosti zamjene panela odlučili dati po garancijom novi model LG B1 pa me zanima po tvojim informacijama imali kakvog pomaka nabolje u kvaliteti slike od 2017 do 2021 ili je to sve jedva primjetno?Najviše me plaši da ne bude tv premračan jer B7 je imao 750 nita u hdr-u a B1 oko 600 nita?Hvala unaprijed na odgovoru.
Pozdrav! Nema značajnih pomaka u kvaliteti slike, no koliko čujem popravili su otpornost na burn in. Razlika u svjetlini nije toliko značajna na novom modelu tako da se isplati prihvatiti njihovu ponudu.
At the 35 second mark how did you remove the ads ? I got this tv and I am disappointed with the UI I was planning on moving my Nvidia shield tube to the bedroom but it seems I am going to keep it because WebOS 6 is horrible
Hey - I haven’t changed anything in settings, but perhaps lack of apps is because in Services Country I’ve selected country where I live - Croatia. We are lucky in a way that there are almost no ads… at least for now. ruclips.net/video/n4Nl-Yq_DVc/видео.html
Why is my color gamut setting greyed out and stuck on native? I am in PC input mode and I cant figure out why I cannot change it..
Hello, I have little problem with my OLED 65 B1. In applications (IPTV) or HDMI input are colours normally. But when I switch to input from satellite (Digital TV), colors are faded until I switch to HDMI or HDR channel and back. Then colours are normally. Do you now, where is problem? Thank you
Hi Radek! So this is only happening on the satellite input? Is this occuring in every picture mode?
@@TVguyDarko Yes, this is only happening on satellite input. It makes this problem in filmmaker mode, cinema, both expert. When I set Color Gamut to Native, problem dissapear. But after this, picture is unnaturally colored.
I see. Then as the next step I would reset the TV to factory defaults.
@@TVguyDarko I made factory reset, but no change. I send e-mail to LG support with this problem and now I wait for answer.
Question I'm on LG oled I love watching movies in dolby vision cinema home. I got the oled light at 100. I noticed something the other night tho. I moved the color from 50 to 100 and it looked better!!! Do you recommend keeping the color part at 100? Or keep it around 50?
keep it at 80, i use it at that value
@@amadoramirez1934 just changed to standard and I like that mode better for dv
i just got my LG B last night and noticed something that REALLY bothered me. i was watching in a very dark room and the brightness of the subtitles were WAY yo bright and made the whole experience very poor. how can i change this? I love watching movies/series in the dark but the brightness of the subtitles makes dark scenes unwatchable. Would greatly appreciate some advice on this
Hey Rich - many video on demand apps allow you to change subtitles color in the Settings. For Netflix you need to login to their website to change subtitles... Hope this helps.

Hey Darko! I’m trying to purchase both sdr and hdr for lg G1 and Paypal seems to be having a problem for me… is there another option to purchase with credit card other than paypal? Tks
Hi Eduardo, thank you for supporting my work. Unfortunately, there is no other option, but if you could send me a screenshot of what is happening I could forward it to Payhip and ask them for support. My email is darkoAThdtelevizija.com
Sorry, how about the TV TCL C825
I will try to get a samples of either C825 or C725 for the next review.
I turned off eco mode on C1. Now i don't see the " Eco mode " option in support section of settings or as a available option in Picture mode setting. How can I enable the eco setting back on ?
That's very strange - have you updated the software in the meantime? Maybe this option was moved to another menu. If this won't help, perhaps try switching to Eco picture mode or doing a full factory reset.
Do these settings work well with the ps5
For PS5 you need to select Game mode and adjust it in a similar way as Filmmaker/Expert presets are adjusted.
Even after calibration, the C1 crushes the blacks. Coming from a Sony LCD tv, I find it very irritating
When looking at the test patterns, this is not the case. It takes some time for your eyes to adapt to it since you had and LCD TV with elevated blacks..
I wanted to see how it's calibrating a Samsung LCD LED TV from Samsung brightness contrast color and grayscale 2 white scale and also LED backlight is not only calibration of the LG TV not Samsung LG OLED not
Hi - which model do you have?
@@TVguyDarko my TV Samsung 40 inches 4K 2014 that the light of this world 20% and the contrast brightness 100% model 6 007 2014

Hello, you can get them in Payhip store which is linked in the description of this video.
Is wrong to use Contrast at 100 ? I like it at 100 for SDR
Contrast at 100 will hide some of the details in highlights (in clouds or snow scenes mainly) but if you like it that way keep it.
@@TVguyDarko ok thank 😊
Do you have to pay to get your settings?
Hi - yes if you want them in PDF format and with additional details. This way you are also supporting this channel and my work.
How much are they and are they for hdr and standard?
Dude i cant believe how can you leave colors warm 50. The screen is so Yellow like in some mexican movie. And gamma detection on auto ? The screen Has no colours then. In looks palę and sad. I like colorful screen do i chose the other option.
Hey Max, it just takes some time to get used to it - see more details here: ruclips.net/video/-JEFu2M2tt8/видео.html

Okay just watched it and i get it now. But still gamma detection on auto and the screen lacks colors. It looks pale and sad.
Who cares about the director’s intent I only care about how I want the picture to look like, and you disabled AI picture pro which makes the picture look much better, I definitely would not use your suggestions
I care about the director's vision. I hate all that post-processing crap. But hey, you set yours up however you like :)
