Yeah. I personally was never able to get used to it and ended up going back to the standard temp after a while.
Changing the temperature determines the Kelvin point of white. All media content is typically mastered to D65, Warm 2 being the closest to this value. This setting is typically the most accurate and least prone to introducing errors, especially if you calibrate your display.
Standard temperature actually adds a touch of blue to its White. Personally, it took me a few weeks to get used to having my display in Warm 2. Now I can instantly tell when a display is set to standard and it actually gives me a bit of a headache; I won't ever go back to Standard. If you aren't going to calibrate your display and it still bugs you after a month, Warm 1 might be an adequate substitute.
Warm 2 is the closest to D65 white (6500k) , which is the whitepoint used by all of the colour spaces that games/movies/Tv are made with.
So when this is right: the rest of the colours are more accurate as a result. It means you see an image close to that of the person that made the content, therefore it looks how it is meant to.
I always put it at standard or neutral. Warm and expert look like they have a piss filter that I will never be able to unsee.
Funnily enough, that used to be my line of thinking. Now that I'm adjusted, Standard looks too similar to a Fluorescent Office Light.
Lol you're probably right. Maybe I just have to dive into it.
As a fun fact, 2020 displays now feature a Filmmaker Mode as one of the picture presets. This mode automatically changes your TV's settings to match what the UHD Alliance believes to be correct / the "intended" viewing experience (e.g. disabling Motion Smoothing). One of the many settings that is automatically changed is the temperature, which goes from - you've guessed it - Standard to Warm2.
Yep, I'm not into it. Destiny 2 Moon missions become tawdry, makes the rocks look stained with cigarette smoke.
Bluing is a concept that's been around since the 1800's. It's why Laundry detergent is blue as it makes whites appear whiter than they are and allows more light to reflect off of it to make it appear brighter but it ruins the accuracy of the color. Your eyes are just used to this bluing technique.

Great guide!
Is it strange that I don't have the setting "Live Plus" ?
Also, a few picture settings are greyed out and can't be changes, such as Colour Gamut (both in SDR & HDR), Gamma (in HDR), Peak Brightness (in SDR & HDR).
My firmware is 03.11.25
It might be a C9 only thing, I'll check what options there are on the CX.
how does this compare to P40L0 settings on the LG thread?

So you used a meter to calibrate?

That's what warm settings do to me - make me remember the way everything looked in my parents' house. (heavy smokers)
I kind of like got used to lighter warm settings for movies, but I still prefer cooler settings for games and anime.
Using these settings, then messing with the system level HDR settings, then doing in-game settings (in that order) has been absolutely perfect.how does this compare to P40L0 settings on the LG thread?

Describe the flickering you are seeing. I'm seeing flashing vertical white lines across things like UI elements, and I can't figure out if it's my CX or my Series X.
It's red flickering with certain areas of the UI (Netflix logos) flashing in areas of the screen it shouldn't be?
What's that and how do I disable it?
Disabling this did seem to help, cheers Boris!
Now wondering if it's worth going through all my calibration again for 4:4:4 🤔
Is this some country specific setting? There's no such option under additional settings on my model :(
Should I get banding when setting RGB to limited and black level to low? I noticed it especially in Demon's Souls and Death Stranding. I had to set RGB range to auto and black level to auto to get rid of the banding.
Generally I hate the chatter in videos like this, but I'm really enjoying this guy waffle on.
Will watch this again when I'm back at my TV and use if for my hopefully arriving tomorrow PS5 too

I really recommended subbing to this channel for updates about your TV so you're always up to date with the latest issues or settings recommendations. Vincent is the bee's knees.
Warm2 takes getting use to, it took me one to two weeks of solid usage when I did it years ago. But once you do everything will look better and you'll see cooler settings for what they are; a blue filter. Getting use to Warm2 won't only result in a more accurate pleasing image, but it'll be less straining on your eyes as well.
I tried. For a dozen days. I felt my cats were peeing on my oled. Seriously it's ugly for me.
My wall behind my tv is white. My tv wasn't white on a white screen 😅
