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?
It is. It got HDMI 2.1 and G-Sync.

Based on the announcements there are no changes in regards to gaming.So LG announced a successor to the C9 called CX...but I cant find any information about improvements. Should I just get the C9 then?
Unless there's something big unannounced, a discounted C9 is a great buy. There don't seem to be any monumental upgrades in the CXSo LG announced a successor to the C9 called CX...but I cant find any information about improvements. Should I just get the C9 then?
Quite disappointingBased on the announcements there are no changes in regards to gaming.
Could be more changes that haven't been announced though.
I have ordered a C9 and it should arrive Monday/Tuesday next week. I am interested in buying a sounder and I start to look into it. I came across many reports of people complaining of lip sync when using the C9 and sound bars (in certain scenarios using Dolby sources).
So, are you using a sound bar with your C9? which one? And have you ever noticed any lip sync issue?

For those with the TV do you notice much judder on stuff that's locked at 30fps? That's one complaint I've seen about these, along with burn-in worries of course.
120Hz BFI is relevant to gaming. Instead of BFI being locked to 50% (8.33ms) and only working with 60Hz sources, it now works with 120Hz sources for 4.17ms MPRT.Based on the announcements there are no changes in regards to gaming.
Yes, they'll do 8-bit 4K120 with 4:2:0 chroma sampling.
Sorry guys but I just set up my first oled tv today (LG c9 55) and I'm a bit confused by all the picture options available. I followed the RTratings.com suggested settings so going into Expert Mode Dark Room and moving on from there. Problem is when I launch games that mode gets changed to something else, for example to HDR GAME MODE while other games stays Expert Mode Dark Room dragging all the previous settings I set with it. So what I don't get is, when I play a game shoud I always force to GAME MODE (or leave it if automatic, included all the new settings coming with it) or revert to the basic settings I took from RTratings guide and play games with that? thanks
From my understanding, the HDMI ports on the CX will allow 4k/120. There will be an update that allows the C9 to do it as well, but it will require HDMI 2.1 on the other end...in other words...next batch of GPU's should have 2.1, which would allow the C9 to do 4k/120. The CX however can do 4k/120 with a source (GPU) having current HDMI ports (so current GPU's). That so far seems to be the only real advantage of the CX over the C9 for gaming.
How do you access this? Never heard of it.The built in 'Dolomite' and 'Black' videos running at 60hz or higher is some glorious stuff.
Thanks, as for the OLED light what should I do? I've noticed when launching in Cinema Home and Hdr Game Mode shoots to the max, 100. It is ok or cause of concern for burn ins keeping it maxed?
I don't have a C9, but a C7. And as much I loved it at the beginning, I would clearly not recommend it today. A little after 2 years (just when the warranty expired, of course), I have big burn-in on the bottom of my screen. So the fantastic image quality is not so perfect now...
The "funny" thing is I had a plasma TV before, using it the exact same way, and I never had any problem with it.
So well, the image quality is amazing, but I would clearly wait a little before buying another LG OLED TV... just to be sure that the problem has been solved on new iterations... which is too soon to confirm.
It's got all the big services Netflix, prime video, YouTube, UK TV if you're based here. No Twitch. I bought a firestick for Android apps.I know this isn't very related to gaming, but how is the app ecosystem on LG TVs? One of the reasons I went with a Sony when I bought my current TV a few years ago is because they use Android TV, and there are apps for everything (and for the rare cases where there isn't one, there's Chromecast built in).

I'm in Sweden, so having access to our local streaming services is pretty important to me.
Can you cast to an LG TV? If not, and it's missing a load of apps I use, that would probably be a dealbreaker for me. I use my TV for, in order of time spent:
And sure, you can always buy a secondary box/stick/Chromecast to get the stuff that's missing, but it's very convenient to have it all built in and accessible from the same remote.
- Streaming from digital services
- Gaming
- Linear TV
The 2019 models have Airplay for Apple and screen mirroring (miracast) for Android.
Xbox has an app available that does both
One area where LG are falling behind is the lack of game streaming clients; e.g. Steam Link.It's got all the big services Netflix, prime video, YouTube, UK TV if you're based here. No Twitch. I bought a firestick for Android apps.
Games that are HDR and games that are not have their own mode.
Personally, for HDR games I leave it in the "game hdr" picture mode, where you can adjust the dynamic tone mapping setting to HGIG.
The "game" presets whether HDR or standard have some additional burn in measures applied to them, so if that is a concern, then that will keep things working for longer.
Mr Evil, when you say "additional burn in measures" in game mode, I assume more aggressive ABL? Or is it something else?

I think it's possible to do game streaming in HTML5 now. I don't think Stadia's web client requires any special plug-ins to work.I think somebody said that webOS is limited by what can be achieved in HTML5, I don't know if that has anything to do with it

I'm not sure. Firefox has been implementing things like controller support in their browser for some time now, with the intent of playing games locally/streaming.I presumed that you needed a very specific version of Chrome for it to work
I'm not sure it lets you change the OLED brightness on HDR, does it? Either way, yes that's the recommended setting.Is it reccomended to leave the OLED light setting at 100 for HDR content?

Not really, the screen will be overall dimmer in hdr mode as you will findIt can be adjusted, I was just wondering if leaving it at 100 is a significant burn in risk.
You have to go to the LG app store on the TV itself and download them that way if that's what you meanI had a Roku tv in the past and one of the things I loved the most about it was being able to download apps directly to the TV itself. Is that possible with this tv?

Yes you can but bear in mind the TV is on webos so the apps are limited. Major streaming services are on there e.g. YouTube, netflix, prime, Apple TV but no Twitch for example.Yeah. Just being able to install the apps directly to the tv itself. Like installing an App on your phone.
