Nice, definitely interested to hear how it goes. I honestly was pretty surprised at how delayed it felt, my old set was probably around the same as your monitor.

Is the LG C9 the best tv for gaming atm?

Game mode colour inaccuracies have been a thing since "game mode" became a thing.
it's because the processing that handles colour reproduction is expensive and inherently laggy. So by performing slightly more simplistic variants of the same processing, they can keep speeds high. This results in some cases in slightly less accurate colour.
It gets better all the time as the processors get faster, certainly on my set it is so negligible that it's almost not worth mentioning.
Far worse inaccuracies exist purely through a panel variances, which is why it's always nice to get your display calibrated , so everything is accurate
What model was your old set? I am interested to see how much better this input lag was on your older tv.
I really doubt you are noticing 4 miliseconds more of input lag. Hell I doubt anyone can. I'm sure there's some settings you have messed up on your TV.
I think it's absurd that people are trying to convince me to disregard my own responses to this. It's so silly. Especially since there's plenty of reports saying that the C9 likely has a higher input time than the 13/14 count.
It's not disregarding, whe are trying to see if there's something wrong with your TV, the TV has already been tested in multiple sides and it sits at 13ms of input lag, there's no way anyone should feel a difference between 9 and 13, but it's clear you have made your own mind so well, can't do much here.
Enable HGIG in the "dynamic tone mapping" part of the TV's picture settings.
You'll need to be running an HDR game for that to show up
Is hgig even a thing on the xbox yet as when i enable it it looks like the dynamic contrast off option the only difference is the calibration logos now disappear at around 800 whereas before it was around 4000
Yes, that is what it is meant to do , it disables tone mapping so the game can do it to match the native output of the tv (800)
Well it seems to be IPS so it's certainly possible. Plently of sets don't get proper reviews.
The 9 to 14ms being super noticeable is strange though. I'll be testing this myself tomorrow.
Outside of setting it to game mode, I'm not sure what else can be done. If people have any suggestions for how to brighten up that mode I'm open to them! I used some suggestions I found from reddit and that's working okay
Which settings are you using? I think all that can be done to brighten it are using dynamic tonemapping set to on
Thanks i changed it. My HDR Picture Mode changed to Game (User). There is no isf picture mode, only vivid, standard, cinema Home, cinema, game and techicolor expert. do you know what i should use and what i should change?

napk1ns Fired up some Rocket League on my E8, that's my go-to game for testing input lag.
Although a could notice the tiniest delay (I've been playing this game for over 1000 hours after all), this is close enough to the experience on my monitor that I would have made it my main screen if I could... unfortunately the TV is for my SO's gaming, and I'm super envious, the picture quality on this thing is sublime.
Now the E8 has something like 20ms input lag, so I'm really surprised you'd find 13-14 noticeable. It's gotta be higher somehow.

Shoot man, I'm about ready to mark it up to me being too picky or something. I'd say that I have the more or less sorted out. I adjusted some settings in game mode to find a compromise between the visuals and the feedback. It is a super nice looking display, but the base settings for game mode are way, way too muddy and dark.
I have a 2017 B7A LG OLED. Am i played PS4pro and XBox One X games with visuals and resolution and sharpness (and game mode) as good as the new sets?
Brightness is not an issue, I am just curious about image quality and resolution and whatnot. Someone playing God of War or Horizon on a C9 will get the same quality visually right? Or have the tvs improved in other ways aside from "a bit brighter?"
Gotta say I love OLED and HDR. I ask because I am debating if I need a new set for nextgen and experiencing console gaming at the best it can be.

Just curious, what games did you play that made you notice the difference ?
And yeah it took me a couple of hours to get the right settings for gaming. Worth it though. I'm way more excited to play on this thing than the person I gifted it to lmao
I think the real clincher for me was Hollow Knight and Overwatch with are both twitch reaction type games. But, hey, you can't beat those black levels. The darkness in RE7 was incredible.
Is there an easy way to force games to run at 1440p120?
edit: adding it through CRU seems to have done the trick.

I want to connect my PC to my C9 to play Alien Isolation at glorious 4k60fps. I'm just going to bring the PC into the lounge and sit it next to my TV haha.
What cable do I need to connect the PC to the TV and get all the outputs? The PC has a 2080 + 9900k :)
Apologies if this has been asked earlier.

Right. So far I've seen these 2. I see a lot more nice buzzwords for the £40 cable. Am I being taken for a ride?
I'd also like to try 1440hz 120fps and all that jazz as well :)
Any UK ppl get either of these cables?
I think the only certified HDMI 2.1 Cable atm is the Belkin Ultra HDMI cable?
This one
Currently playing Hellblade on my Xbox One X after struggling to get the Steam version to play nice, and it's HDR just looks...off on the C9. Not sure if it's my settings or if the game just has a bad HDR implementation. Any go to settings you guys have for HDR gaming?
Not in uk, but any HDMI 2.0 cable should do you fine. $40 is too much.
If you want to future proof with VRR, than a 2.1 cable
In terms of picture quality, brigthness is pretty much the only improvement (and it's still pretty small). OLEDs haven't evolved much in picture quality in the lasts years.
Really? It says it supports up to 1080p haha - Nvm! Seen they have more than the one :D
Does anyone's feel wobbly with the stand? Not sure if just designed that way for give or if I screwed it in wrong.
We should know about the 2020 models in January at CES, right?
Can I use VRR/GSync on the C9 with a GTX 970? I'm assuming no, but just want to make sure...
Edit: Looked it up, I guess not. Seems you need 1060 at least. Also I'm surprised that VRR only works for 1440 or 4K, but not 1080p.

I bought a LG C9 55" some days ago. But I'm having some trouble with my PS4 pro on it. I think.
I'm currently playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, when I start the game or rather when the game changes to HDR the screen flickers for a bit. Same when I turn of the PS4 the screen flickers black. Is there a way to fix this? Or should it be this way?
I'm just a bit paranoid when it comes tot stuff like this.
So I would like to hear from others here..

Is this the model we're talking about?
Cool thanks. Think my wife will veto anything bigger so that is the model I'm looking at.
I really want something that will work well with the next gen consoles so this TV is relatively future proof then?
