Hey Classy, I just wanted to say that AI picture pro shows a substantial difference when using internal apps, especially in SDR, on my C2 at least. The changes it makes to the image is immediately obvious. Like night and day. I have no issue seeing what it’s doing. So idk why you “Never see a difference, or it doing much”. I truly have no idea why this is lol, but I’m guessing bc you probably haven’t spent a ton of time testing content via internal apps? Just swinging at air here. Anyways, I still see a difference with HDMI sources, but it doesn’t employ nearly as much localized gamma manipulation and processing. (I actually prefer this) LG is deploying localized gamma manipulation to try and make the image more dynamic, add depth, detail, and sharpness. It also seems to deploy slight noise reduction, dithering to improve gradation…despite if you having the smooth gradation disabled…and obviously they’re using their AI upscaling algorithm, too. Using AI PP will actually darken shadow details and some midtones, where it see’s fit, and boost luminance up top. It’s almost like local dimming on a OLED 😅 I personally can’t stand it majority of the time tho, especially in SDR, as the image is way over-processed to my eyes, despite the amazing depth it can produce at times. It’s just not for me tho, as a purist type of guy. The HDR effect it has is much less obvious, but it still does the same thing, it just doesn’t darken the midtones and low stimulus nearly as much as it does in SDR, which makes sense to me. I can always make a video showing these changes the AI PP makes on my C2, to show you what I’m talking about, in case you’ve never experienced this behavior….maybe there’s just a bug in the newer models tho, as this year has seemingly been littered with FW issues, unfortunately. LG really is letting ppl down this year with these issues, and lack of polish. It’s almost like they should’ve delayed the launch, but chose to rush it. Lastly, AI PP does actually work on copyrighted content, as long as it knows you have access to watch said service/content legally, like onNetflix, D+, etc. idk if you said this or not, bc I just caught the end of what you were saying about the feature and the confusion. I really wish LG would clarify this in the menu a bit better, but it is what it is.
This video nailed it for me, this gave me great pointers for dark and bright room settings, thanks! Everyone says Warm 50 is the way to go for authenticity, but I've tried, anything beyond Warm 20 just seems too brown to me, so I've kept it at 20.
@@adambomb13 I tried it at 0 for a while, but against a white wall, it was starting to look a little blue, so I bumped it to 20. It's so subtle, anything warm or cool around it can change my mind.
@@pizzatime2001Same. I used to prefer a cool image back in the CRT days, but now cool temp looks disgusting. Once I got used to warm temp I can’t go back. Warm 50 is the most natural looking to me. The real world is lit with a giant warm light (the sun) after all.
Two questions :) 1) As this video is over 8 months old (multiple FW updates since) are these settings still accurate? 2) Are any of these settings panel specific based on panel variances?
@kylemoo with all due respect, it's not the playback speed issue. It's the voice narration matching the actions. I was giving a tip to make his videos better, not to say it's bad, because it isn't. Also, what's the point of having a video if you suggest to listen to voice only? Might as well listen to a podcast then. There's a purpose of having visual presentation in addition to audio presentation. It's to provide effective presentation.
Jfc. I had to go down to .5 speed and because the audio doesn't match how fast the person is clicking it made a 37min video an over an hour long endeavor.
Thank you for the settings. I just set up the LG OLED B3 Series tv and was able to follow by slowing down the video so I don't have to stop and rewind every 5 seconds because of how you go. Great advice! However, the B3 series tv settings seems to have a lot of differences so I'm not sure this really works for the B3 Series LG TV. I tried my best but wish I would have looked specifically for a B3 only video.

Agree great content way tooooooo fast. Even when I slowed it down. Actually got nauseous while watching. But soldiered through to the end. For future reference it might be best to take a break and make the video longer. But appreciate your effort
What is the OLED brightness for SDR for 77” G4? Also when I turn truemotion off Real Cinemo doesn’t become ungrayed out? On G4, there is only cinema home in dolby? No cinema
Hi Classy, for movies on apps like netflix,prime,disney as close as possible to the reference are they like you showed in the video? Do we see details in dark scenes? Thank you
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Yes but there are some differences. So if i can ask those questions that would be great. On your G2 Video. In SDR Dark. You set it to 40 OLED Pixel Brightness. Samething with the G3. But with the C2 Its not as bright as the G2 or G3. So isn't it supposed to be around 60? Same with the C3? Also in the SDR Bright. Is it supposed to be 80 also on C2 or C3? or is it supposed to be lower due to G2 and G3 being brighter TV's? Because on the G2 you kept it as 80. While on the G3 you had it on max 100. Also on your G3 video you had Color Depth as 55. While on the C2 its 50. Should C2 stay 50? Or should i change it to 55 like the C3? Also in this video. In SDR Dark. You changed the Method to 22 Points Signal Level(%). And change the Signal Level(%) to 2.5. And Adjust Brightness level at the selected signal level(%) to 5. And with SDR Bright you did the exact same but changed Adjust Brightness level at selected signal level(%) from 5 to 3. So what im asking am I supposed to do that samething for the C2? or is this only for C3? Also when it comes to SDR gaming. On the G3/C3 you set the Gamma to BT.1886. While on the G2/C2. You have it on Gamma 2.2. Isn't it supposed to be BT.1866? Can you please tell me which is the correct one for the C2? Also on the SDR Gaming. In the G3/C3. You Also set the Method to 22 Points Signal Level(%). And change the Signal Level(%) to 2.5. And Adjust Brightness level at the selected signal level(%) to 5. So am i supposed to do the same with C2 or not? Also one last thing. In terms of game HDR Sliders. Since im on a C2. And not a G2 or G3. What am I supposed to set the nit value at? You said 1500 for the G3. But what am i supposed to do for the C2? I really hope you answer all my questions. I love your videos. You are the only one i follow for settings.
@@Vokon the C2 is different than the G3, which is why I said I had a video for the C2. In SDR brightness and gamma depends on your room and is subjective. 35-40 OLED brightness on most LGs is about the same as 10-20 on the G3. So it doesn't apply to those. SDR gamma also depends on the room. Bt1886 is darker than 2.2 but has more color saturation. Use what works for your room.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Gotcha Gotcha. So I guess in terms of brightness Ill probably stick to around 60 or more. I dont think i can ever watch a Movie or play a game with below 60 brightness haha. In terms of the Signal level settings though. You are saying that i shouldn't change them on the C2? Because while I think you are the best in terms of setting videos. I got this person's video recommended to me. And he happens to do the exact same Level settings as yours. Which is 22 Points Signal Level(%). And change the Signal Level(%) to 2.5. And Adjust Brightness level at the selected signal level(%) to 5. So is he like technically correct or should i just stay with the same settings you had for the C2/G2 video? Also in terms of Gamma. I do usually game in a really really dark room. Mostly pitch black. So i guess ill stick with BT.1886.
@@Vokon the G3 had more crushing than the C2/G2. Shouldn't need to make those adjustments, or if you do cut them in half or only do +1-2 or so. If you can use a pluge pattern it'll be easier to see what works on your TV.
Hi I've had a g3 77" for 2 days now. I was using some of the setup settings. I was using prime for the hdr. But the tv isn't showing the hdr in the top right corner like it did on max with dolby vision. Also in your setup it was showing hdr in the picture settings. But my g3 isn't showing any of that?
@ClassyTechCalibrations hi Thank you for replying. I had top gun maverick on. Prime showed Hdr in the info. But the g3 never showed it up in the top right corner like it did with dolby vision. And it still didn't show any hdr in the picture setting menu. I even went over to RUclips because I had seen a few people showing RUclips Hdr in there display setup. And still haven't had any hdr pop up on TV or show up in the picture settings. I'm sorry for the long confusing message this is my first lg, all these setup windows are just so confusing. Since I came from 2 Samsung tvs. Thanks darrell
@ClassyTechCalibrations sorry I forgot to add or should I try putting RUclips on my xbox x to see if that changes anything. I only stream off tv prime, peacock, hbo max. Darrell
Sorry me again this morning when I played something on RUclips I displayed hdr Icon on my tv hopefully it will show up in my settings. Also thank you for doing a very detailed instructions. Darrell
This video is great and terrible at the same time. Useful info but I really get dizzy trying to follow everything. Played and pause and rewind countless times to be able to figure out what’s going on.
i think the same, if he says click this but sometimes he didn’t click what he suggested and at the end he reset all the settings. So you must hear what he says and can’t just watch it
You zip through everything so fast it’s all a blur. And you talk just as fast, assuming that we’re all tech people who are already familiar with all the terms and features. You need to do this step by step, and explain everything, including where to plug everything in and what you see when you press the power button on the remote and turn on the tv for the first time, and then go step by step slowly. This video is totally unhelpful
Very interesting menu and settings run through. I wish my brain could process what you are recommending as quick as the tv. Need to watch this several times to understand so much information and the reason why and consequences of changing the settings.
Great video thanks, one small thing I think you missed for the XB/PS5 hdr settings. 1500nits/18 clicks is for the G3 only. For a C3 it should be 800nits/14 clicks
very nice video, but the narration is such a pain in the ... What you say and what you do doesn't sync..and all are in fast forward. sad, because this can be a nice video..not a shitty one
Hey, Classy. Can you give a quick explanation on the 22 point White Balance Signal Level adjustment from 100% to 2.5%? Or point me to one of your videos if you’ve explained it already? Like, what is this doing exactly? What changes are happening from say 100% to 50%, or 50% to 25%? How did you end up on 2.5% and not 0%? You’re the only person I’ve seen mention doing this, just curious because I can’t find any info on it. My G3 definitely crushes blacks in SDR, so I’m willing to give it a shot.
I'm not an expert but read something about it on the internet and if I got this right it's like that: This option allows you to adjust brigthness and colors tints(?) at 22 levels of brightness. So the change from 100% to 2,5% is not any changed setting. For every signal level you can make changes in brightness and red green blue. The guy in video only changed brightness to +5 at 2,5% signal level and left settings at other 21 signal levels unchanged. The purpose was probably to make the darkest elements a little bit brighter to see more details in dark areas. I hope what I wrote is understandable :D
Thank you for this video, definitely helpful and has improved my experience! Question, first couple of day when I had the C3, plex streaming 4K dolby vision movies was quite bad (long load time and constant pause and play) and a lot of time out right unplayable. This has somehow made a 180 degree turn last night where almost everything I threw at it played butter smooth, including back and forward skipping. Anyone knows why? the C3 is now a better plex client than ATV 4K and PS5 for me.
To enable genres 1. In Sound Switch sound out to TV speakers 2. Also in Sound Select Mode Game Optimizer 3. Still in Sound Switch Sound Out to your Device I.E. Optical, etc.
No matter how much I looked at real content, I have never seen in games or movies that the contrast of 100 loses details, I only see an increase in brightness, maybe it is cut off in some tests, but does that really matter in real content? ?
Hello ClassyTech, thanks very much for the great video. Just got an B3 yesterday, however I found that when I was playing with my PS5, the TV ocassionally blacks out for a few seconds with the HDR logo on the top right hand corner (kinda like the TV is trying to switch some sort of setting). Any suggestion to deal with the problem? Thanks in advance🙇🏻♂️
Hi there Classey. I have 65 inch G2 for 1650 euro, Samsung s95c for 3000 with deal, Sony a95k for 2700 and Samsung s95b for 1500. I thought of going to LG G2 but I don’t know whether Samsung would be preferred choice for the price. I watch movies and not competitive games. Just concerned about Samsung s95b. Is it worth it for long term or need to go to Sony a95k or new Samsung s95c has good heat sink and can get a bit accurate then s95b
Sup Classy, few issues on my C3, Is the adjust brightness in 22 point only on the G3 ? In HDR Game mode I only have 22 point Code value - which is at 1023 I don’t have anything below that other than 712 ? and then the RGB ? I don’t have the adjust And my Game Mode in the optimiser is greyed out when on the xbox sx HDR calibration screen and it is in HDR Game mode ? I can’t seem to get the standard to highlight…. Any chnace you can maybe make a refresh video but just for gaming as I have followed all to a T Thanks homie, hope you are good
Got my 55in C3 setup and mounted late last night before I had to head to bed. Can’t wait to get home after my shift and apply these settings and see the results. Appreciate your work. Huge help!
I bought same tv three weeks ago and I hate it dim dark abl is terrible,Dolby vision so dark sdr looks terrible maybe I am doing something wrong who knows, its my first oled so maybe I am getting used to it. I have always liked a vibrant tv but I don’t see ti with this tv
@@rodneybrownlee5676same here, I've been messing with the LG C3 for weeks now and can't get deep blacks in gaming mode without darkening the entire picture, I've tried everything. My old plasma looked so much better. Btw warm 50 is fucking insane. Turned off this video as soon as he spouted that.
I notice in my C3 and also in this video how the brightness dynamically lows when something to bright is on the screen (like the quick changes of the menu) is the ABL and there i nothing to do about it right?
I’m considering the LG C3. I noticed your setting for the Switch you say that it is bright enough. I’ve seen some people claim just turning game mode on make the C3 too dim. Which has me concerned for Switch gaming. I’m curious if you have any thoughts or experience with this?
You leave sharpness in all these modes at 10? Isn't 0 supposed to be "no added sharpness" ? Wouldn't it be inaccurate at 10? Or is 10 supposed to be neutral?
0-10 is the same with native 4k signal. With lower resolution 10 will have a mild effect of smoothing edges like an AA effect. It's up to you if you want that or not.
Thanks Classy for the video guide. Do you know if lg is aware of the color desaturation when switching to game mode? Or is it something you noticed?A little annoyed they are sacrificing picture for latency.
Im coming from a Pioneer Kuro plasma and found the G2 65” already too bright for me. I ended up returning it as my viewing distance is 10ft and wanted the 77” G2 instead. G2 77” in my region has just dropped from 3500€ to 3000€. Would love the 77” G3 but its out of my budget. Is 3000€ going to be cheapest its going to get for the 77” G2 or is it worth waiting a fews months for the G3 to become more “affordable”?
I don't know details about your region but I know here in the States, there aren't that many G2s left. Once they're gone, the straglers won't go any cheaper.
Hey man. I used to have the C9 and was able to compare it to the S95B that I now have. While brightness wise S95B easily won that, I did thing the picture quality (how crisp a game looks) on the C9. Would you agree that's the case here too? Also, HDR games wise, specular highlights such as sun, fire effects, I assume that's still significantly better on Samsung QD-OLED?
I'm confused about the description of HDR settings on PS5. Like, the whole 18 clicks. Which ones do you need to actually count, and which do you just go all the way in one direction until it's white/black?
Can you please do a video about calibrating HDR with a G3 in Windows 11? I stream games from my PC to the TV using the Moonlight app directly on webOS. I have enabled HDR but the colors seems a little bit washed out :(
Hey, I have 3 questions for you :) Are these settings sufficient so there is no need for real calibration? I also want to know is the settigns take care of the durability of the TV, and are not too much "pushed"? They are Cinema oriented or can be good (or very good) for sports? Thanks
Classy!, Just picked up a G4, would you say these settings are also a good starting point for this newer model from LG? Also, I noticed you suggested turning down the picture contrast to 85 for the SDR settings but not the HDR settings. Just wondering why the difference?
Games look so washed out on LG TV's. Any ideas how i can get deep blacks loke i used to get on my old plasma? Literally had to get a new tv for my series x to work. Never wanted to upgrade my Panasonic viera for that very reason. Blacks suck on LCDs. All of them.
Couldn’t keep watching, your on screen actions were not matching your voice. And you were not always using the on-screen descriptors which makes it hard to keep track.
In HDR under video range submenu i have two option limited and full. Cant find auto. is auto and limited are same? game genre selection still not working
Yeah you go fast, but i can follow you. I used your tips en settings and now fully enjoying my 65 inch G3. I loved it already out of the box. But know it's absolutely fantastic. I didnt get the SDR content to work for me, but its perfect now. Thanks for your video! Just got me the G3 last weekend in discount now the G4 is there. Lovely tv!
Hello classy I have a question I am hoping you could help me with. I have an LG C3 and when I play a game if the video range is on auto the picture seems a little washed. If I changed the video range to limited that seems to correct the washed out colors but it will crush blacks. I play in SDR and I play on PS5. I am hoping you can help me with the crushed blacks as I tend to favor the video range in limited. Unless you have tips for deeper blacks with the auto range.
Can you explain, color depth at 55 will be less saturated? I use 50 and the colors seem oversaturated to me, or I'm just used to the weak color of LG CX ?
03.20.17 on a c3 randomly gets the hdmi handshake issue, only recently started happening after having the tv a month so no clue if this update is recent. Such a pain having to get up an unplug the HDMI cable >.
Thankyou so much for taking the time explaining crucial points on all settings. Especially greatful for showing us how to change the FPS on gaming. I just purchased a LG C3 evo and had no idea what I was doing. Thumbs up and subscribed. Best video out there to date.
Hi, I know it’s been a long time since the post of this video, but I want to know if the setting you tweak in white balance is the exact same for the C3 ? Thank you !
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why HGIG for games is always recommended? For me I just can't use this. It's way to dark even in my dark theatre room. Please explain I really wish to know. Otherwise I just can't use this setting
It is not always recommended. In fact another YT calibrator recommends not using it and going FMM-ALLM-DTM:On since the lag between game optimizer on/off is not really noticeable. He points out that DTM on the 2023 sets is much better/accurate than it was in years past.
November 2023 How goods the oled Os setup and ai and settings with any new updates since you made this video? Still apply your settings or you had to re tweak with os updates ? On the LG 55" OLED EVO C3 4K UHD Smart TV (2023)
Question - I'm running a Panasonic UBP820 4k disc player into the G3. On the external menu, do I select enable 4:4:4 passthrough? I have it enabled on the Panasonic UB820 settngs. I've noticed enabling it greys out a lot of the other settings such as Real Cinema.
I’m kinda confused on the PS5 set up. In the LG G3 thread on AVS Forums you stated game mode isn’t accurate but in this video I think that’s how you set up HGIG? “Game mode is much further from luminance targets than FMM, it’s less accurate.” Can you clarify this?
Hey Classy, sorry to be a pain but have you done pucture settings for the G4? In my humble opinion you are the man regarding LG oled settings. I followed your video above and you had my G3 singing. Im a subscriber btw. Only reply if you have time. Thank you ❤️
I know Dynamic Tone Mapping isn't accurate but I don't think having it off is accurate either. I'm watching Shogun and all of the dark scenes the blacks are completely crushed. I have my iPhone 12 pro watching the same scene and there is so much more detail on the iphone than the C3. It's almost like half the image is missing on the C3. When I turn on Dynamic Tone Mapping a lot of that crushed detail in dark scenes comes back but bright scenes are blown out. I wonder if LG keeps Dynamic Tone Mapping on by default because they know that without it dark scenes are unwatchable?
Sill got the handshake issue. Cant lauch any hdr game when set to 4k/120 without losing signal. Unplugging the hdmi cable, or turning off/on vrr helps (or dropping it to 4k/60), but its very annoying

Also in the SDR Bright. Is it supposed to be 80 also on C2 or C3? or is it supposed to be lower due to G2 and G3 being brighter TV's? Because on the G2 you kept it as 80. While on the G3 you had it on max 100.
Also on your G3 video you had Color Depth as 55. While on the C2 its 50. Should C2 stay 50? Or should i change it to 55 like the C3?
Also in this video. In SDR Dark. You changed the Method to 22 Points Signal Level(%). And change the Signal Level(%) to 2.5. And Adjust Brightness level at the selected signal level(%) to 5.
And with SDR Bright you did the exact same but changed Adjust Brightness level at selected signal level(%) from 5 to 3.
So what im asking am I supposed to do that samething for the C2? or is this only for C3?
Also when it comes to SDR gaming. On the G3/C3 you set the Gamma to BT.1886. While on the G2/C2. You have it on Gamma 2.2. Isn't it supposed to be BT.1866? Can you please tell me which is the correct one for the C2?
Also on the SDR Gaming. In the G3/C3. You Also set the Method to 22 Points Signal Level(%). And change the Signal Level(%) to 2.5. And Adjust Brightness level at the selected signal level(%) to 5. So am i supposed to do the same with C2 or not?
Also one last thing. In terms of game HDR Sliders. Since im on a C2. And not a G2 or G3. What am I supposed to set the nit value at? You said 1500 for the G3. But what am i supposed to do for the C2?
I really hope you answer all my questions. I love your videos. You are the only one i follow for settings.
@@Vokon the C2 is different than the G3, which is why I said I had a video for the C2.
In SDR brightness and gamma depends on your room and is subjective. 35-40 OLED brightness on most LGs is about the same as 10-20 on the G3. So it doesn't apply to those.
SDR gamma also depends on the room. Bt1886 is darker than 2.2 but has more color saturation. Use what works for your room.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations Gotcha Gotcha. So I guess in terms of brightness Ill probably stick to around 60 or more. I dont think i can ever watch a Movie or play a game with below 60 brightness haha.
In terms of the Signal level settings though. You are saying that i shouldn't change them on the C2? Because while I think you are the best in terms of setting videos. I got this person's video recommended to me. And he happens to do the exact same Level settings as yours. Which is 22 Points Signal Level(%). And change the Signal Level(%) to 2.5. And Adjust Brightness level at the selected signal level(%) to 5.
So is he like technically correct or should i just stay with the same settings you had for the C2/G2 video?
Also in terms of Gamma. I do usually game in a really really dark room. Mostly pitch black. So i guess ill stick with BT.1886.
@@Vokon the G3 had more crushing than the C2/G2. Shouldn't need to make those adjustments, or if you do cut them in half or only do +1-2 or so. If you can use a pluge pattern it'll be easier to see what works on your TV.
you said you would explain the settings, but you really didn't.
Why would you not set it to Dolby Vision on the Apple TV?
Not sure his reasoning, but HDR10 is generally better anyway. Netflix just released the results of a long term study that found exactly that.
Hi I've had a g3 77" for 2 days now. I was using some of the setup settings. I was using prime for the hdr. But the tv isn't showing the hdr in the top right corner like it did on max with dolby vision. Also in your setup it was showing hdr in the picture settings. But my g3 isn't showing any of that?
Not everything on prime is in HDR. It has to say HDR on the show/movie.
@ClassyTechCalibrations hi Thank you for replying. I had top gun maverick on. Prime showed Hdr in the info. But the g3 never showed it up in the top right corner like it did with dolby vision. And it still didn't show any hdr in the picture setting menu. I even went over to RUclips because I had seen a few people showing RUclips Hdr in there display setup. And still haven't had any hdr pop up on TV or show up in the picture settings. I'm sorry for the long confusing message this is my first lg, all these setup windows are just so confusing. Since I came from 2 Samsung tvs. Thanks darrell
@ClassyTechCalibrations sorry I forgot to add or should I try putting RUclips on my xbox x to see if that changes anything. I only stream off tv prime, peacock, hbo max. Darrell
Sorry me again this morning when I played something on RUclips I displayed hdr Icon on my tv hopefully it will show up in my settings. Also thank you for doing a very detailed instructions. Darrell
This video is great and terrible at the same time. Useful info but I really get dizzy trying to follow everything. Played and pause and rewind countless times to be able to figure out what’s going on.
i think the same, if he says click this but sometimes he didn’t click what he suggested and at the end he reset all the settings. So you must hear what he says and can’t just watch it
The tv looks so dark in your video. Is it also in real life like this?
No the exposure is set for the menu to be readable.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations thank you for the fast answer :)
G3 oled pixel 11 is 100nits but ok
Actually 100nits is around 8, varying from panel to panel, but what about it
Way too fast
You zip through everything so fast it’s all a blur. And you talk just as fast, assuming that we’re all tech people who are already familiar with all the terms and features. You need to do this step by step, and explain everything, including where to plug everything in and what you see when you press the power button on the remote and turn on the tv for the first time, and then go step by step slowly. This video is totally unhelpful
Very interesting menu and settings run through.
I wish my brain could process what you are recommending as quick as the tv. Need to watch this several times to understand so much information and the reason why and consequences of changing the settings.
Great video thanks, one small thing I think you missed for the XB/PS5 hdr settings. 1500nits/18 clicks is for the G3 only. For a C3 it should be 800nits/14 clicks
and how many clicks for B3?
Here half a year later trying to figure this out. No one wants to include anything on the B3 settings that actually matter.
very nice video, but the narration is such a pain in the ... What you say and what you do doesn't sync..and all are in fast forward. sad, because this can be a nice video..not a shitty one
Hey, Classy. Can you give a quick explanation on the 22 point White Balance Signal Level adjustment from 100% to 2.5%? Or point me to one of your videos if you’ve explained it already?
Like, what is this doing exactly? What changes are happening from say 100% to 50%, or 50% to 25%? How did you end up on 2.5% and not 0%?
You’re the only person I’ve seen mention doing this, just curious because I can’t find any info on it. My G3 definitely crushes blacks in SDR, so I’m willing to give it a shot.
I'm not an expert but read something about it on the internet and if I got this right it's like that:
This option allows you to adjust brigthness and colors tints(?) at 22 levels of brightness. So the change from 100% to 2,5% is not any changed setting. For every signal level you can make changes in brightness and red green blue. The guy in video only changed brightness to +5 at 2,5% signal level and left settings at other 21 signal levels unchanged. The purpose was probably to make the darkest elements a little bit brighter to see more details in dark areas.
I hope what I wrote is understandable :D
Thank you for this video, definitely helpful and has improved my experience! Question, first couple of day when I had the C3, plex streaming 4K dolby vision movies was quite bad (long load time and constant pause and play) and a lot of time out right unplayable. This has somehow made a 180 degree turn last night where almost everything I threw at it played butter smooth, including back and forward skipping. Anyone knows why? the C3 is now a better plex client than ATV 4K and PS5 for me.
To enable genres
1. In Sound
Switch sound out to TV speakers
2. Also in Sound
Select Mode
Game Optimizer
3. Still in Sound
Switch Sound Out to your Device I.E. Optical, etc.
No matter how much I looked at real content, I have never seen in games or movies that the contrast of 100 loses details, I only see an increase in brightness, maybe it is cut off in some tests, but does that really matter in real content? ?
Supremely invaluable video, Classy..
Thank you brother..
Hello ClassyTech, thanks very much for the great video. Just got an B3 yesterday, however I found that when I was playing with my PS5, the TV ocassionally blacks out for a few seconds with the HDR logo on the top right hand corner (kinda like the TV is trying to switch some sort of setting). Any suggestion to deal with the problem? Thanks in advance🙇🏻♂️
Hi there Classey. I have 65 inch G2 for 1650 euro, Samsung s95c for 3000 with deal, Sony a95k for 2700 and Samsung s95b for 1500.
I thought of going to LG G2 but I don’t know whether Samsung would be preferred choice for the price.
I watch movies and not competitive games. Just concerned about Samsung s95b. Is it worth it for long term or need to go to Sony a95k or new Samsung s95c has good heat sink and can get a bit accurate then s95b
For PC gaming only, would you recommend full or limited rgb?
Sup Classy, few issues on my C3,
Is the adjust brightness in 22 point only on the G3 ? In HDR Game mode I only have
22 point
Code value - which is at 1023 I don’t have anything below that other than 712 ?
and then the RGB ? I don’t have the adjust
And my Game Mode in the optimiser is greyed out when on the xbox sx HDR calibration screen and it is in HDR Game mode ? I can’t seem to get the standard to highlight….
Any chnace you can maybe make a refresh video but just for gaming as I have followed all to a T
Thanks homie, hope you are good
Got my 55in C3 setup and mounted late last night before I had to head to bed. Can’t wait to get home after my shift and apply these settings and see the results. Appreciate your work. Huge help!
I bought same tv three weeks ago and I hate it dim dark abl is terrible,Dolby vision so dark sdr looks terrible maybe I am doing something wrong who knows, its my first oled so maybe I am getting used to it. I have always liked a vibrant tv but I don’t see ti with this tv
@@rodneybrownlee5676same here, I've been messing with the LG C3 for weeks now and can't get deep blacks in gaming mode without darkening the entire picture, I've tried everything. My old plasma looked so much better. Btw warm 50 is fucking insane. Turned off this video as soon as he spouted that.
@@rodneybrownlee5676 how was it 6 months later did you end up getting used to It 😊
@@rodneybrownlee5676 You definitely didn't turn off the energy saving feature
Can't change the method settings it is blanked out , how can I get it to change to 22
Hi! Is that so with Game Optimizer and PC Input / 4:4:4 Passthrough enabled? SDR or HDR?
I notice in my C3 and also in this video how the brightness dynamically lows when something to bright is on the screen (like the quick changes of the menu) is the ABL and there i nothing to do about it right?
This is the most annoying shit to try and follow especially because so much shit is greyed out for me.
I’m considering the LG C3. I noticed your setting for the Switch you say that it is bright enough. I’ve seen some people claim just turning game mode on make the C3 too dim. Which has me concerned for Switch gaming. I’m curious if you have any thoughts or experience with this?
Thanks Classy! As always great Video!
You leave sharpness in all these modes at 10? Isn't 0 supposed to be "no added sharpness" ? Wouldn't it be inaccurate at 10? Or is 10 supposed to be neutral?
0-10 is the same with native 4k signal. With lower resolution 10 will have a mild effect of smoothing edges like an AA effect. It's up to you if you want that or not.
Thanks Classy for the video guide. Do you know if lg is aware of the color desaturation when switching to game mode? Or is it something you noticed?A little annoyed they are sacrificing picture for latency.
Im coming from a Pioneer Kuro plasma and found the G2 65” already too bright for me. I ended up returning it as my viewing distance is 10ft and wanted the 77” G2 instead. G2 77” in my region has just dropped from 3500€ to 3000€. Would love the 77” G3 but its out of my budget. Is 3000€ going to be cheapest its going to get for the 77” G2 or is it worth waiting a fews months for the G3 to become more “affordable”?
I have LG 65B7 from like 2016 and it’s still too bright for me lol I’m just looking to upgrade the size 77/83
I don't know details about your region but I know here in the States, there aren't that many G2s left. Once they're gone, the straglers won't go any cheaper.
Your viewing distance is 10 ft and you are watching a 77” TV? 🤣🤣 That makes zero sense
For some reason it’s still dark af how can I make it brighter?
G3 is the champ of the year 💪
Was the video for the pc settings ever released?
Hey man. I used to have the C9 and was able to compare it to the S95B that I now have. While brightness wise S95B easily won that, I did thing the picture quality (how crisp a game looks) on the C9. Would you agree that's the case here too? Also, HDR games wise, specular highlights such as sun, fire effects, I assume that's still significantly better on Samsung QD-OLED?
I'm confused about the description of HDR settings on PS5. Like, the whole 18 clicks. Which ones do you need to actually count, and which do you just go all the way in one direction until it's white/black?
White screen, all the way down, count up 18 times. Black screen is all the way down.
@@ClassyTechCalibrationsThank you!
Hope you could do for C4 too😊
Thanks very helpful, liked the result, any chance of sports settings.
Can you please do a video about calibrating HDR with a G3 in Windows 11? I stream games from my PC to the TV using the Moonlight app directly on webOS. I have enabled HDR but the colors seems a little bit washed out :(
Hey, I have 3 questions for you :)
Are these settings sufficient so there is no need for real calibration?
I also want to know is the settigns take care of the durability of the TV, and are not too much "pushed"?
They are Cinema oriented or can be good (or very good) for sports?
Thanks
just a heads up. LG fixed the black level issues and 2.2 works properly now.
Meaning we should favor that over BT1886 ?
Should I also use the apple tv with rgb full with the c2??
RGB high on AppleTV, and auto or limited on the TV.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations could you make a video explaining the reason why
What setting would I use for my set top box?
Classy!, Just picked up a G4, would you say these settings are also a good starting point for this newer model from LG? Also, I noticed you suggested turning down the picture contrast to 85 for the SDR settings but not the HDR settings. Just wondering why the difference?
I thought SDR brightness at 100 was bad for OLEDs?
Games look so washed out on LG TV's. Any ideas how i can get deep blacks loke i used to get on my old plasma? Literally had to get a new tv for my series x to work. Never wanted to upgrade my Panasonic viera for that very reason. Blacks suck on LCDs. All of them.
Couldn’t keep watching, your on screen actions were not matching your voice. And you were not always using the on-screen descriptors which makes it hard to keep track.
In HDR under video range submenu i have two option limited and full. Cant find auto. is auto and limited are same? game genre selection still not working
Thank you very much. Love these videos... im not sure of their was a firmware update.. but i dont have HGiG
I just bought a C2 will this work?
Yeah you go fast, but i can follow you. I used your tips en settings and now fully enjoying my 65 inch G3. I loved it already out of the box. But know it's absolutely fantastic. I didnt get the SDR content to work for me, but its perfect now. Thanks for your video!
Just got me the G3 last weekend in discount now the G4 is there. Lovely tv!
Hello classy I have a question I am hoping you could help me with. I have an LG C3 and when I play a game if the video range is on auto the picture seems a little washed. If I changed the video range to limited that seems to correct the washed out colors but it will crush blacks. I play in SDR and I play on PS5. I am hoping you can help me with the crushed blacks as I tend to favor the video range in limited. Unless you have tips for deeper blacks with the auto range.
Can I get dolby vison content on youtube? I tried some they had and the tv never recognized it, or went to dolby vision in the picture mode.
Are these settings subject to change if LG updates the firmware?
Not really, LG usually doesn't make picture quality changes with updates.
Hello. I have a LG Oled B3. is it normal to have a small shade of purple on the edges of the more visible gray and white colors?
How much different are the C3 settings from the C1?
Can you explain, color depth at 55 will be less saturated? I use 50 and the colors seem oversaturated to me, or I'm just used to the weak color of LG CX ?
03.20.17 on a c3 randomly gets the hdmi handshake issue, only recently started happening after having the tv a month so no clue if this update is recent. Such a pain having to get up an unplug the HDMI cable >.
What picture mode is the TV when you are adjusting the game optimizer in SDR?
Thankyou so much for taking the time explaining crucial points on all settings. Especially greatful for showing us how to change the FPS on gaming. I just purchased a LG C3 evo and had no idea what I was doing. Thumbs up and subscribed. Best video out there to date.
Just unboxed mine coming from a tcl roku TV and wow the menu is pretty daunting. 😅
GAME OPTIMIZER AND GAME SOUND HAVE TO BE ON THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR GENRE GAME SETTINGS
Looking forward to the PC settings video - cheers
Hi, I know it’s been a long time since the post of this video, but I want to know if the setting you tweak in white balance is the exact same for the C3 ? Thank you !
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why HGIG for games is always recommended? For me I just can't use this. It's way to dark even in my dark theatre room. Please explain I really wish to know. Otherwise I just can't use this setting
It is not always recommended. In fact another YT calibrator recommends not using it and going FMM-ALLM-DTM:On since the lag between game optimizer on/off is not really noticeable. He points out that DTM on the 2023 sets is much better/accurate than it was in years past.
November 2023 How goods the oled Os setup and ai and settings with any new updates since you made this video? Still apply your settings or you had to re tweak with os updates ? On the LG 55" OLED EVO C3 4K UHD Smart TV (2023)
Hmmm, my aspect ratio option is grayed out? I cannot click and change to the suggested setting
Question - I'm running a Panasonic UBP820 4k disc player into the G3. On the external menu, do I select enable 4:4:4 passthrough? I have it enabled on the Panasonic UB820 settngs. I've noticed enabling it greys out a lot of the other settings such as Real Cinema.
I’m kinda confused on the PS5 set up. In the LG G3 thread on AVS Forums you stated game mode isn’t accurate but in this video I think that’s how you set up HGIG? “Game mode is much further from luminance targets than FMM, it’s less accurate.” Can you clarify this?
Will you also do a G4 settings video, like this one? :)
is it possible to change the screen size in gaming? so you go frome original 42, to 27 for example.. I now the LG oled flex has this settings
Which demo video is playing in this video can u paste the link pls
Hey Classy, sorry to be a pain but have you done pucture settings for the G4? In my humble opinion you are the man regarding LG oled settings. I followed your video above and you had my G3 singing. Im a subscriber btw. Only reply if you have time. Thank you ❤️
I will soon, thanks.
I know Dynamic Tone Mapping isn't accurate but I don't think having it off is accurate either. I'm watching Shogun and all of the dark scenes the blacks are completely crushed. I have my iPhone 12 pro watching the same scene and there is so much more detail on the iphone than the C3. It's almost like half the image is missing on the C3. When I turn on Dynamic Tone Mapping a lot of that crushed detail in dark scenes comes back but bright scenes are blown out.
I wonder if LG keeps Dynamic Tone Mapping on by default because they know that without it dark scenes are unwatchable?
If you follow his settings exactly and watch in a dark room you will see all the detail you are meant to by the content creators.
Classy have an older lg c6 im seeing static in the image in all content what setting can i adjust to fix this thx.
Sill got the handshake issue. Cant lauch any hdr game when set to 4k/120 without losing signal. Unplugging the hdmi cable, or turning off/on vrr helps (or dropping it to 4k/60), but its very annoying
