Yes, the hdr profile has been switched to game mode. Still, with HGIG, the picture is very dim, even after a calibration in the game menu. I also noticed that, with HGIG enabled, the 'correctness' of the hdr settings seems to be automatically reached with the default paper white and peak brightness settings.
Only problem I'm having with my C9 thus far (other than the fact that I think I'm physically incapable of noticing the difference between SDR and HDR) is that unlike my old Samsung NU8000 (God, what a beauty), it doesn't seem to play nice with HDMI-CEC or whatever the thing was that my old TV that let me to control the PS4 UI with the television remote.
Thanks! I'm supposed to have my C9 recalibrated since i had a panel replacement.
Ok, I enabled HGIG and used your suggested settings: I can confirm that in this way the game looks AMAZING!! By looking around in some spots, I think that also the black level is more correct now.
Got it on low on my c8 and low on e9. Both do not dim the screen. No need to go above low
I have mine set to Low. What firmware are you on? What Picture mode? Are you watching football on the inbuilt app or external box? And what channel?
It just seems quite aggressive compared to my old c7 and quite noticable
I honestly didn't noticed any aggressive dim during my C9 usage. Anyway, I think that disabling this feature from the service menu is not wise; it is probably present to prevent burn in (among the other features with this purpose).
Ok, thank you. My actual settings with RDR2 in HDR with HGIG are: peak brightness set at 700 and paper white set at 200. With these, honestly, it looks awesome.
I think dimming has more to do with power saving feature than anything else, due to various power usage regulations in EU and elsewhere. Has anyone who disabled dimming in service menu ever reported any adverse effects?
Have you tried to watch football or the netflix show I mentioned I found it really bad on darts but there was the big score logo on the bottom so maybe this was the issue
I have another question, regarding the HGIG usage on the Ps4 Pro. Using the HDR HGIG mode, I tuned the system HDR option in the way it is said to do, that is moving the arrows until the logo inside the square is barely visible. I did that for all the three screens.
Ok, thanks. Maybe it's really the way the game has been calibrated. I'll take a look with other scenarios during the game.
I'm pretty sure that's all we've done as well, and we're happy. Latency seems just as good (or better?) than our Samsung QLED JS8500 we replaced. The INCREDIBLE image quality improvement cannot be understated, though -- the HDR intensity is much higher and more beautiful to behold, and the deeper blacks are unquestionably impressive. Like, I actually just LOVE staring at Tetris Effect on PS4. It's GORGEOUS.
Ok perfect thank you sir. Also when deciding to set oled light for SDR content will changing the value higher or lower have an effect on the actual picture quality?
Ok mine was set to 26 after being calibrated which seems pretty dark for my tastes even in a dark room but maybe I should just get used to it since it's correct. I don't watch too much SDR content anyway.
Is it definitely the tv I had the same issue with my C7 so went out and bought a c9 and that did the same so I exchanged the C9 and that did it too turns out it was a dodgy hdmi to the sky box which was causing it
Wait so was it an hdmi or TV causing the issue? I have a dennon receiver connected to the TV.
Mine seemed to be the hdmi. I even had an electrician out checking the electrics .I narrowed it down to that or the sky box as I didnt have a spare hdmi the day I got my replacement c9 I just used freeview and I had no issues went out the next day bought a new cable for my sky box plugged it in and my xbox one x and I've had no issues since. The sky box was replaced today too just in case that was the issue. Now I have a fully working c7 in the bedroom and to the annoyance of my missus a c9 in the lounge all fully working
