If your TV only has [Black Level] "Low" or "High" (for example LG C9 outside PC Mode), then the correct settings would be: - [RGB Range] "Limited" on the PS5; and - [Black Level] "Low" on the TV.
Vincent, there has been a lot of noise and various videos on RUclips Re the issue with raised black levels when viewing hdr or dolby vision footage. Can you please discuss this and give us your thoughts? Could there be a software fix for this? This is holding me back from the oled. I game a lot and need dark areas to be detailed etc. Really hope you read this
I'm curious why people keep asking for this. Why would the TV be set any differently for the PS5 than it is for any other Blu-ray or media player, other than having game mode enabled? He has calibrated his TV using Calman for SDR and HDR and he uses those same settings for all sources. If you want the calibrated settings then get Calman for yourself.
@@eddieescobedo9975 putting the tv on hgig is another setting to adjust. You don’t just put your tv on game mode and call it a day. Not if you don’t care about color accuracy and artistic intent.
Yes, a video is definitely needed regarding the forced HDR. There’s lot’s of misinformation being posted online saying that SDR being inside an HDR container is not affecting the display on calibrated displays.
@@xxdanierukunxx yea thats what I've been doing and with hgig it never is barely visible its always clearly visible being 1 click from being invisible completely. DTM off is the only mode that actually let's u set it to barely visible thats why I'm interested in whatever testing results Vincent comes up with
me too. i still dont know if i should calibrate hdr in ps5 main menu with DTM on or off.......an what abaout HGIG... i'm testing and depending which scene in a game the one or the other looks better... but i have to know at least once how i calibrate it right!
@@riktreutmann6530 Same, I'm specially confused with HGiG, because the result varies a lot depending on the game. It'd be nice to know more about it because I can barely find info online.
Ludogatari Are you 100% sure about that? A lot of sources seem to indicate that not every game supports hgig. Sure you can turn on hgig for whichever game you want but I don’t think that means the game was designed and optimized for hgig in mind like those three games I mentioned.
I've watched several UHD discs now and honestly I'm blown away just how much better the picture and HDR quality is compared to the Xbox One X I was previously using, literally worlds apart....
Just to point out that my TV is a 4K & HDR is supported & is able to “120 Hz Output” but what really bugs me it is saying that my TV is at 3840 x 2160 - 60Hz & I can’t figure out why it’s saying it’s only saying it’s running at 60Hz instead of 120Hz but it says I can “Enable 120Hz Output” but I’m still running at that level of frequency. The color “Color Format” says: When displaying 4K HDR 60Hz, the color format will be YUV420 or YUV422 instead of RGB due to HDMI 2.0 transfer speed limitations. My HDCP is a 2.3 Information for the HDMI device HDR: Supported Frequencies (HDR): 24 Hz, 25 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz, (YUV422/420), 60 Hz (YUV422/420). These are the available frequencies for 4K output when HDR is in use. Then the frequencies of (Non - HDR), 24Hz, 25Hz, 30Hz, & 60Hz. What do I need to do if I need to do since my TV is a 65” 4K UHD SAMSUNG brand but like I said it’s picture is in 3840 x 2160 - 60 Hz & my system is able to let me enable the 120Hz Format but I’m still getting the 60Hz instead of 120. Just checking to see if anyone would know what to do since I have the my 4K HDMI Cable hooked up to it’s supported area to enable the 120 Hz but still getting it at 60Hz that I don’t know why though but even though I’m not having any trouble with the frame rate on my system but when I’ve been watching these videos to help your system run in FULL 4K 4:4:4 of the best quality picture & still watching tv, not having any problems as well in having it’s picture in 4K, not any flickering or anything as well while watching a 4K movie as well on my PS5
Thank you HDTVTest, your videos had a big influence on my decision. PS5's are nowhere to be found, my 2016 Sony Bravia is over 4 years old and I was wondering if it was worth it or not to upgrade my TV first until the PS5 becomes more widely available. Which TV is best for PS5 and how to best optimize the settings is exactly what I wanted to know, and these highly informative review videos answer everything. So glad to discover this channel. I love my Bravia and didn't plan on replacing it when I get the PS5. But the price, picture quality, input lag time and features have improved so much in the last 4 years that I think now is a great time to buy. I'm very partial to Sony products and looked long and hard at the X900H, but this LG looks unreal so I'm going for it next week. If anyone seeing this comment already has this TV with a PS5 running on it, I'd really like to know what you think.
@@GaryGoodJob_ It looks like he left it in game console mode, since PC mode on the CX doesn’t allow an HGIG setting. Edit: this is wrong, see other replies. HGIG is available when the Picture Mode Setting is Game mode, even if PC mode is enabled.

Yes!, Please do a video further detailing the issues of SDR running in HDR container, this is very interesting topic and hopefully it will help shine torch on this subject matter and the ill effects of running SDR in this way.
I actually did some tweaking myself. And believe me this tv almost doesn't need any enhancements. Gamemode is nearly accurate in color. You can boost contrast to 100 if you like. Personally I don't like it. And color to 54 only 1 down, so not needed at all. Do the adjust HDR on ps5 and done. Things like adv. contrast enhancer fluctuates the colors to much. Leave local dimming at medium (less blooming) and X-tended dynamic range at high (in HDR) Also do the external device setup for Hfr. Colour temperature on expert 1. Makes the colours so much more real and more different colours. Tried all the other settings, but it'll feel like a houseparty with to many disco lights. I still wanna hear and see what Vincent comes up with. Wanna see the perfect values of the HDR adjust and calibration for the Sony x900h (xh90).
Thank you, you can confirm the same thing to us with the qled qe55q80t or 95t with the ps5 it must be the same settings I think at the level of the PS5 and the HGIG of the tv, once again bravo for your work.

Love your humour sir, found your channel whilst looking for a new tv and have found your videos a great help. I will continue to watch your videos even when i've purchased one!
@@Rin_FGC I have a C9 and there is no "Auto" option for me for "Black Level". I was wondering if you are running at some WebOS version update which is later than mine (my tv is however updated in the latest version at the moment). I had to set the following settings for best results Black Level (TV) --> High Dynamic Tone Mapping (TV) --> SGIG RGB (PS5) --> Auto
I wonder if it is still relevant regarding all the update and all. i will get my tv back soon and I would like to know what are the best settings. There is never the same information online... with HGIG and all
You are supposed to switch to HGIG, and then calibrate HDR using the system menu, it should theoretically make the HGIG as bright as the Dynamic Tone Mapping On and actually make the On option the dimmed one.
@@gabrielpinheirodecarvalho8023 the opposite is occurring for me. HGIG makes demons souls and the ps5 interface dimmer than DTM ON. I calibrate the hdr on the ps5 after changing modes to compare.
you are the only one that is actually super helpful with this kind of stuff. Can you please make a video about the HDR adjust settings on PS5 and Xbox?
Hello I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to make this video it was truly very useful to me! You have explained everything verey well and I have learned some interesting things! :)
If anyone is curious how Vincent brought up that freesync "hidden information bar", you need to rapidly press the green button on the remote. I read that it's sensitive to speed so try varying your taps if you have trouble.
Vincent, please, could you do a video on (or just add to some other video) best PS5 settings for monitors🙏 for example HDMI 2.0, 240Hz, Freesync, with resolutions from 1080p to 4k 💝
PS5 does not support PC monitors, it has no 1440p support, no Freesync support & worst of all does not support 120/144Hz Vesa PC refresh rates, in order for PS5 120Hz to work on a PC monitor it must have TV 120hz refresh rate support in its EDID, not all PC monitors support this. Yes there is a difference between PC and TV 120hz.
Referring to the "Avoid" slide at the end of the video, Vincent mainly recommend NOT to: 1. PS5 - Auto & TV - Low (Your setting) 2. PS5 - Full & TV - High I'm in the same boat as you with a C9. So I'm going PS5 - Auto & TV - High.
@Find the Door absolutely awesome! Looks really good. I can't really tell a Hugh difference between console mode with PS5 at limited vs PC mode with PS5 on auto rgb. But I'm leaning towards PC mode with rgb on auto. Ghost of Tsushima looks amazing!!!
@@Wildxmo I believe he is right. To get to PC mode.. Press home button, chose the home icon.. Select the first icon on top right. Then on left hand side of screen it should have your hdmi input.. Click it and scroll down to PC mode and select it. Then go over to save on the right hand side of screen. Then you must recalibrate hdr on the PS5. Looks nice
Haha, when I got my PS5, I looked at the availability of options. I thought to myself "How is Vincent going to make a video saying just leave everything at 'Automatic' ", you didn't disappoint though!
@@JoShUa95160 yes. Not only limited has 220 steps (for 8 bit) per luma and 225 per Cb Cr in place of 256 steps in FULL 8 bit, but there is also higher luminance possible in limited if you will use higher than 235 (counting from 0 for luma Y) or 240 (CB, CR). You can read EBU recommendation 103 for further details.
@@hdtvtest Can you do an in depth video about the recommended picture mode setting for the PS5 and the GX/CX ? Based on this and the XSX video i assume you recommend leaving OLED Light and Contrast @ 100 for HDR Game ? OLED 80 and Contrast 85 for SDR Game ? PC Input ? Brightness 50, Sharpness 0, Color 50, and Tint 0 on both SDR and HDR Game ? Looks like HGIG for DTM and White Balance Warm 2 ?
Vincent, great video. Does C9 has a way to display framerate info similar to the freesync information? I am familiar with the service info (by pressing 11111), but it does not seem to provide a real time info like freesync info here.
Im new to the channel and i realize its more for videophiles and i appreciate your explanations and expertise. I do think we could use a quick "dummy summary" at the very end... Im just leaving everything on automatic.
Press quickly, in succession, the green button (with two dots). When it appears you can dismiss it with the back button. The next time you invoke it, it will appear in a different corner, and it will cycle through the four corners every time you invoke it.
Agreed I have always used my own judgement on this the lighter washed out image looks wrong Limited has more contrast and looks right to me. Everyone else on youtube also says to set to Limited.
Outside his auto black, and hgig settings. You should just let hdr settings be default, and just drag the sharpness down to 0. Also enable HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color, and Instant Game Response. Color should be 50 at default. Turn off any energy saving modes. Hdr will set full OLED 100, Contrast 100, Brightness 50. Just make sure after all setting to calibrate the console hdr at the end. That’s it for hdr games as most all games are HDR. For fall guys and say older 1080p that Sony support it. I’d use dark or bright pro mode on this tv...last two options. Rtings has a good basic setup for sdr content. For that game play I have to disable hdr in the ps5 settings for now as they don’t work right as explained. And I choose dark or bright ISF pro settings for sdr with Rtings settings. All looks good! I’ve done so much research on this and glad to finally have it done. Just Sony needs to fix some issues!
@@mattg082 On the video for the best Xbox Series X settings on the LG CX he switches the input to PC mode (to achieve 4:4:4). Do you think that makes a difference too for the PS5?
So almost a twenty min. video just to say: leave everything on Automatic Setting :D . But one thing make me laugh a bit : Using Pioneer Plasma with PS5 is a bigger genaration gab than between Joe Bidden and the millenials... :D
@HDTVTest Can you explain your “RGB Range Auto” recommendation further? I was surprised by this recommendation with the PS5 since I think you've typically recommended forcing "RGB Range Limited", and I think others such as @DigitalFoundry & @mylifeingaming have typically recommended "RGB Range Limited" as well. For example, from the LG CX/C9 settings video for Xbox Series X you stated: "One thing to take care of is to check that black level is reproduced correctly. So Low would be the correct value, and I would be inclined to switch it on Low all the time. Whereas if you selected High it will be expanding the signal to Full Range which may create a bit more banding with the wrong input signal, so Low is generally the best idea." I've found that my 2015 LG OLED and even my newer 2018 & 2019 LG OLEDs will occasionally not detect the range correctly when set to Auto. With that said, I've always exclusively used RGB Range Full if I'm connecting to a broadcast/professional/PC monitor as these seem to expect 0-255 all the time (unless calibrated for 16-235).
What about the LG input icon, should that be set to PC? I'm still not entirely sure what that icon does and why it changes things. Last you said that was the only way to enable 4:4:4 capability. Does this still apply here?
To elaborate a bit more, what does the PC icon ultimately do? 4:2:2 vs 4:4:4 ? or maybe 4:4:2 vs 4:4:4 ? I'm kind of failing to see why this option is even there, i.e. why isn't everything set to the PC icon mode always?
When using the highest settings on the PS5, how much input lag do you get when playing games? I would really like to know. I know on the PS4 when you use HDR mode, you get quite a bit of input lag. Can you perhaps please make a video on the PS5’s input lag? I believe it’s very important if we considering upgrading.
I see you r in the PC mode. With my PS5 and LG OLED C9 i get some red artifacts or flicker in PC mode. I dont know why, so i switched back to Game console mode. seems to be a C9 mistake. sadly you cant set black lebel to automatic in this mode.
@@radry100 I tried both different ports and different cables, no difference. It's a C9 + PC Mode + FRL (HDMI 2.1 signaling) issue that doesn't appear to occur on the CX for some reason. Perhaps that was whatever that got LG to limit the chip to 40 Gbps in the CX.
True, same thing here. They mostly occur in TV cold boot or when you summon the bottom home menu. It is rare in games, you might not even see it occur. I did see it yesterday in a dark game, though, so that was enough for me to disable it. One curious thing in my case, though: My Black Level is still Auto in my HDR Game settings, even after I changed the PC label to Game console label. Only High and Low are selectable, but it is now still set to Auto somehow?? It also works as Auto would, so I haven't touched it. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the SDR Game settings...
@@igaKusuri i got a solution :D ruclips.net/video/OcZtmxoQsXc/видео.html This is what happen and the solution is to disable "live plus". You can find it under TV settings -> generel settings -> additional Options.
@MonsterKat i hope its temporary then because it ruins certain games, and makes others (especially 2d ones) eye searingly bright. painfully so sometimes.

@@Rin_FGC I have a C9 and there is no "Auto" option for me for "Black Level". I was wondering if you are running at some WebOS version update which is later than mine (my tv is however updated in the latest version at the moment). I had to set the following settings for best results
Black Level (TV) --> High
Dynamic Tone Mapping (TV) --> SGIG
RGB (PS5) --> Auto
@@gdimmerm I have a C9 as well. The Auto option only shows up, when you select PC instead of gameconsole as HDMI device for the PS5
@@gdimmerm outside PC mode than choose RGB limited on PS5 and low for black on your C9!
Thanks Vincent, was waiting for this video. All the best :)
Is that also for LG BX?
Love my lg cx 65' your videos helped me pick the tv outta all oleds at the time
Could you do a PS5 video Settings using the Sony XH90?. That would be great
Only the driest of comic relief. Such a great channel. Cheers from Los Angeles!
Vincent, should we be engaging the PS5 in PC mode on the LG C9 / CX for 4:4:4 as we do for the Xbox Series X?
@MonsterKat the XsX will output 10bit 4L10 if you set pc rgb on the console and use pc mode on the tv.
@MonsterKat cod runs 444 60 bro
Definitely do the HDR/ SDR comparison test thing. I'm intrigued.
Can you do a video for the best settings on ps5/ 4k TV with HDMI 2.0 . Please.
My setting on ps5 and lg CX on demon soul and other game is crazy. Seriously i cant stop playing . Its just amazing . Lg CX 🥰🥰
Do you keep PS5 settings to auto & what about tv settings? Warm 2, gaming, or PC?
@@GameDungeonProductions ill post my setting tonight. Keep on gaming , warm 1 with negative blue 12 .
Would love to know your setting for LG CX for PS5. Thx Vincent!
I wonder if it is still relevant regarding all the update and all. i will get my tv back soon and I would like to know what are the best settings. There is never the same information online... with HGIG and all
Could you explain the best settings on LG OLED CX for PS5? Just like you did with Xbox Series x? Thank you!
You are literally watching the video you’re asking for. In the first 30 seconds he mentions his ps5 is hooked up to a lg cx.
@@JKA-TML Sorry I mean the TV settings for PS5
I totally agree, he didn't go in detail in the TV settings
@@JKA-TML this is "literally" a video about the PS5 settings for the LG CX, which is not the same as LG CX settings for PS5. Come on.
Game mode
Watching this after ordering my CX, can't wait!
Dynamic Tone Mapping: HGIG Makes the image much dimmer in Demons Souls. I put it back to ON and it looks much nicer. Thoughts?
I think he meant only turn it to HGIG for accurate adjusting then switch back to ON
I find hgig makes valhalla super dark too. It dosent look good at all
@@dezze0n why would you do that? You calibrate the hdr for the mode you are in.
You are supposed to switch to HGIG, and then calibrate HDR using the system menu, it should theoretically make the HGIG as bright as the Dynamic Tone Mapping On and actually make the On option the dimmed one.
@@gabrielpinheirodecarvalho8023 the opposite is occurring for me. HGIG makes demons souls and the ps5 interface dimmer than DTM ON. I calibrate the hdr on the ps5 after changing modes to compare.
I’ve waited so long for this. My life is now complete.
you are the only one that is actually super helpful with this kind of stuff. Can you please make a video about the HDR adjust settings on PS5 and Xbox?
Great video! Would love to see you try it out with a Samsung Q95T.
@HDTVTest can we get your preffered tv settings for aps5 on a LG C9 or B9 similar to what you posted for the Series X?
Would be good to see this - unless he’s using the same ones he used on the Xbox video
Hello I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to make this video it was truly very useful to me! You have explained everything verey well and I have learned some interesting things! :)
2:19 legend
Thank you for your clear direction. Most people don’t go into depth like that and I thank you for that🤙🏼
I've been waiting for this video so long! Thank you for sharing!
If anyone is curious how Vincent brought up that freesync "hidden information bar", you need to rapidly press the green button on the remote. I read that it's sensitive to speed so try varying your taps if you have trouble.
Vincent, please, could you do a video on (or just add to some other video) best PS5 settings for monitors🙏 for example HDMI 2.0, 240Hz, Freesync, with resolutions from 1080p to 4k 💝
PS5 does not support PC monitors, it has no 1440p support, no Freesync support & worst of all does not support 120/144Hz Vesa PC refresh rates, in order for PS5 120Hz to work on a PC monitor it must have TV 120hz refresh rate support in its EDID, not all PC monitors support this. Yes there is a difference between PC and TV 120hz.
@@voidtoast4880 thank you, yes, a whole lot of issues to be pushed - honestly not on Vincent but trough him onto Sony
Thank you Vincent! I was waiting for it. greetings from Spain!
I will do the corrections ASAP, ofc I had Blacklevels on Low.
Me too. I was wondering why Demon souls would get so dark .... lol
I don't have both of this things but it's satisfactory video ❤️
So what about hdmi black level in the C9? I'm assuming to still leave it on low as this TV doesn't have an auto setting, only low and high.
Referring to the "Avoid" slide at the end of the video, Vincent mainly recommend NOT to:
1. PS5 - Auto & TV - Low (Your setting)
2. PS5 - Full & TV - High
I'm in the same boat as you with a C9.
So I'm going PS5 - Auto & TV - High.
Auto = full rgb so = high black lvl
@Find the Door absolutely awesome! Looks really good. I can't really tell a Hugh difference between console mode with PS5 at limited vs PC mode with PS5 on auto rgb. But I'm leaning towards PC mode with rgb on auto. Ghost of Tsushima looks amazing!!!
@Find the Door The C9 doesn't have an "Auto" setting for black level. That's why I choose Auto on PS5 and High on C9.
@@Wildxmo I believe he is right. To get to PC mode.. Press home button, chose the home icon.. Select the first icon on top right. Then on left hand side of screen it should have your hdmi input.. Click it and scroll down to PC mode and select it. Then go over to save on the right hand side of screen. Then you must recalibrate hdr on the PS5. Looks nice
Haha, when I got my PS5, I looked at the availability of options. I thought to myself "How is Vincent going to make a video saying just leave everything at 'Automatic' ", you didn't disappoint though!
Question - I have an LG C9 - it doesn’t have black auto - what would you recommend ? Low / High?
In that case, [Black Level] "Low" on TV; & [RGB Range] "Limited" on PS5.
Black Level Auto is PC Mode only... QY and YQ bits in EDID and AVI Infoframe are used for negotiating quantisation levels.
@@JoShUa95160 yes. Not only limited has 220 steps (for 8 bit) per luma and 225 per Cb Cr in place of 256 steps in FULL 8 bit, but there is also higher luminance possible in limited if you will use higher than 235 (counting from 0 for luma Y) or 240 (CB, CR). You can read EBU recommendation 103 for further details.
@@hdtvtest Can you do an in depth video about the recommended picture mode setting for the PS5 and the GX/CX ?
Based on this and the XSX video i assume you recommend leaving OLED Light and Contrast @ 100 for HDR Game ? OLED 80 and Contrast 85 for SDR Game ? PC Input ?
Brightness 50, Sharpness 0, Color 50, and Tint 0 on both SDR and HDR Game ?
Looks like HGIG for DTM and White Balance Warm 2 ?
Pc mode on the c9? Does it make any difference?
Thanks for explaining this Vincent. You’re awesome !
Vincent, great video.
Does C9 has a way to display framerate info similar to the freesync information? I am familiar with the service info (by pressing 11111), but it does not seem to provide a real time info like freesync info here.
Yes I was wondering too, although c9 does not officially have freesync. Does the xbox sx or ps5 actually use freesync?
Im new to the channel and i realize its more for videophiles and i appreciate your explanations and expertise. I do think we could use a quick "dummy summary" at the very end...
Im just leaving everything on automatic.
How can I access that "secret information bar" (Easter egg menu) on an LG C9? Pressing multiple times the green button does not work :(
I am hgoing to leave a dot, coz i want to know also
Press quickly, in succession, the green button (with two dots). When it appears you can dismiss it with the back button. The next time you invoke it, it will appear in a different corner, and it will cycle through the four corners every time you invoke it.
This doesn’t work on my C9
@@maxmaxneolit nope, doesnt work on my CX
I am wondering how many games supported HGIG, can gimme some example?
Black level set to auto and RGB range set to Auto creates a washed out image for me on my CX. I’m seeing that Limited/Low is much better
Strange
Limited and low is correct setting for lg cx
Agreed I have always used my own judgement on this the lighter washed out image looks wrong Limited has more contrast and looks right to me. Everyone else on youtube also says to set to Limited.
@@bogroll1881 hdr automatically forces it to limited so you have to go low/limited unless you want washed out look
@@bogroll1881 hdr automatically forces it to limited so you have to go low/limited unless you want washed out look
my man vincent once again coming in with the clutch
How about the setting from the TV LG CX?
Outside his auto black, and hgig settings. You should just let hdr settings be default, and just drag the sharpness down to 0. Also enable HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color, and Instant Game Response. Color should be 50 at default. Turn off any energy saving modes. Hdr will set full OLED 100, Contrast 100, Brightness 50.
Just make sure after all setting to calibrate the console hdr at the end. That’s it for hdr games as most all games are HDR. For fall guys and say older 1080p that Sony support it. I’d use dark or bright pro mode on this tv...last two options. Rtings has a good basic setup for sdr content. For that game play I have to disable hdr in the ps5 settings for now as they don’t work right as explained. And I choose dark or bright ISF pro settings for sdr with Rtings settings. All looks good! I’ve done so much research on this and glad to finally have it done. Just Sony needs to fix some issues!
@@mattg082 On the video for the best Xbox Series X settings on the LG CX he switches the input to PC mode (to achieve 4:4:4). Do you think that makes a difference too for the PS5?
Resolution or preformance ?
Vincent can you compare ps5 on the LG cX and the Q95T Samsung please ? Would really like to see which has the better image, thanks
Yes, please make a additional video for automatic HDR effekts
Any way to get a similar free sync menu on the C9?
hardest working solo man, liked and commented.💯
Can I use the same settings on my C9?
looking forward to your announced seperate HDR calibrating video!
So almost a twenty min. video just to say: leave everything on Automatic Setting :D . But one thing make me laugh a bit : Using Pioneer Plasma with PS5 is a bigger genaration gab than between Joe Bidden and the millenials... :D
I have a pioneer elite from 2008 😵 but got the new LG CX 48” best tv ever
Dude is funny.
Fantastic! thank you for explaining the auto settings versus manual Vincent
@HDTVTest Can you explain your “RGB Range Auto” recommendation further? I was surprised by this recommendation with the PS5 since I think you've typically recommended forcing "RGB Range Limited", and I think others such as @DigitalFoundry & @mylifeingaming have typically recommended "RGB Range Limited" as well.
For example, from the LG CX/C9 settings video for Xbox Series X you stated: "One thing to take care of is to check that black level is reproduced correctly. So Low would be the correct value, and I would be inclined to switch it on Low all the time. Whereas if you selected High it will be expanding the signal to Full Range which may create a bit more banding with the wrong input signal, so Low is generally the best idea."
I've found that my 2015 LG OLED and even my newer 2018 & 2019 LG OLEDs will occasionally not detect the range correctly when set to Auto. With that said, I've always exclusively used RGB Range Full if I'm connecting to a broadcast/professional/PC monitor as these seem to expect 0-255 all the time (unless calibrated for 16-235).
This has been taxing my brain for days :) Thank you
What about the LG input icon, should that be set to PC? I'm still not entirely sure what that icon does and why it changes things. Last you said that was the only way to enable 4:4:4 capability. Does this still apply here?
Same question
@MonsterKat didn’t the video just show it in 12bit 4L8?
To elaborate a bit more, what does the PC icon ultimately do? 4:2:2 vs 4:4:4 ? or maybe 4:4:2 vs 4:4:4 ? I'm kind of failing to see why this option is even there, i.e. why isn't everything set to the PC icon mode always?
Yes please do another video on the output id appreciate it i struggle with knowing what to put
When using the highest settings on the PS5, how much input lag do you get when playing games?
I would really like to know. I know on the PS4 when you use HDR mode, you get quite a bit of input lag.
Can you perhaps please make a video on the PS5’s input lag? I believe it’s very important if we considering upgrading.
I get no discernable input lag.
LG CX & PS5.
Would love additional videos detailing more calibrating of the OLED CX for the PS5!
I'm watching this video, and I don't have ps5 nor the CX 🥲
Me too, I'm here for the jokes

@@frati80 HA. Alan the man.
Right on time! Was just looking at your xbox videos to try to get the best settings for my gx.
10:34 "i am going to put it on the top right corner, because that's my favourite position" ... was this a classic vincent joke? :-D
Yes thanks man
I see you r in the PC mode. With my PS5 and LG OLED C9 i get some red artifacts or flicker in PC mode. I dont know why, so i switched back to Game console mode. seems to be a C9 mistake. sadly you cant set black lebel to automatic in this mode.
Try a different HDMI port. I had a flickering vertical line on HDMI 1.
@@radry100 I got same problem on HDMI Port 1 and 4. I think this isnt a HDMI Port Problem.
@@radry100 I tried both different ports and different cables, no difference.
It's a C9 + PC Mode + FRL (HDMI 2.1 signaling) issue that doesn't appear to occur on the CX for some reason.
Perhaps that was whatever that got LG to limit the chip to 40 Gbps in the CX.
True, same thing here. They mostly occur in TV cold boot or when you summon the bottom home menu.
It is rare in games, you might not even see it occur. I did see it yesterday in a dark game, though, so that was enough for me to disable it.
One curious thing in my case, though:
My Black Level is still Auto in my HDR Game settings, even after I changed the PC label to Game console label.
Only High and Low are selectable, but it is now still set to Auto somehow?? It also works as Auto would, so I haven't touched it.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for the SDR Game settings...
@@igaKusuri
i got a solution :D
ruclips.net/video/OcZtmxoQsXc/видео.html
This is what happen and the solution is to disable "live plus". You can find it under TV settings -> generel settings -> additional Options.
Thank you vincent for the information .I have saved the video for future use already.
That forced HDR in SDR apps is something I never thought Sony would do
@MonsterKat i hope its temporary then because it ruins certain games, and makes others (especially 2d ones) eye searingly bright. painfully so sometimes.
XBOXSX does it too. It’s not forced you can switch it off.
@@campos3452 the Xbox switches HDR on and off automatically when required which imo is the way the PS5 should do it
I’m really hoping this is temporary and it gets sorted in an update
@@getdrinking Are you using HGIG and not DTM? SDR games look amazing on my PS5 and C9.
Found it! Exactly the video I was looking for👍🏻
