It's actually meant to represent the color of something white outside in the daylight lol. The main point is that content creators should also be using this color temperature, so you're seeing what the creators intended you to see.

Recommended LG CX/C9 settings for XSX according to HDTVTest

I used to be the same way but Warm2 finally looks superior. Going back to Warm1/Neutral makes my eyes hurt! It's worth trying for longer but if you can't get used to it there's no harm in staying with neutral if you're not too worried about accuracy. I highly suggest trying for longer though.
how does this compare to P40L0 settings on the LG thread?
LG 2017-2024 OLEDs - Optimized Settings for Xbox One/Series X|S, PS4/PS5, Switch, PC and webOS/Movies (SDR, HDR, DV) Sony - Microsoft - Tech
So you used a meter to calibrate?www.resetera.com
Those settings are wrong because it forces wide color gamut on SDR, default brightness should not be touched and color should also be left at 50 unless you prefer more saturated colors. Contrast should only be 100 for HDR.
I recently got a CX and couldn't believe people were recommending Warm2, but you really do need to just use it for a bit and let your eyes adjust.
Are there recommended peak brightness and paper white settings for in game HDR calibration with HGIG on?
Peak brightness should be 800 nits. Paper white is little different. I think the most recent standards say it should be set to 203 nits, but this can probably be adjusted to taste based on how bright your room is.
Yeah this explains my feeling pretty well. It doesn't feel more accurate and I did try (not as long as what you did).
It just seems to take away what makes the tv so incredibly amazing for me. when I look at the screen in medium I say to myself wow oled! I will try warm2 for a couple more days, but I may side with inaccuracy.
Yeah Warm2 isn't for everyone. It's not a great fit for people who wear glasses with modern coatings either, those almost always have some kind of anti bluelight bs and they seriously fuck up whites lol.
I thought that initially, then I changed the Black Level to low. It fixed that washed out look for me.
hated warm 2... forced it on myself for a week... and now i refuse to change it
the game that cemented it for me was Forza 7
that orange glow people take issue with was nowhere to be seen on Forza 7, and the colours looked incredible
i bumped it down to Warm 1 and neutral (or whatever it's called), and it didn't look right
warm 2 is legit

Can you actually notice the difference between 444 and 422 on these TVs.
Is there any other upside\downside to engaging pc mode?

There is a difference, but it's pretty hard to spot at normal TV sitting distances. There don't seem to be any downsides to engaging PC mode though
May I ask, why Bt1886 over 2.2? Seems like it dims/darkens the picture quite a bit.
I calibrate now for 2.2 as that is typically what games target. The TVs are calibrated for 2.4/1886 out of the box as that is the broadcast standard for TV and movie content.
So you let the Tv be calibrated for what it is, the brighten the gamma in game of the game has the option
It's either going to be firmware update or come out of Pc mode unfortunately
When I go to "check for updates" it keeps saying there aren't any. So I guess I have to stick with 4:2:2 until further notice :(
With the poor frame pacing in CoD MW at 120hz, is there a way to tell if it's happening panel side or console side?
I remember when I finally read about this whole color calibration thing about 15 years ago, I also felt WARM was a bit "too yellow".
It lasted for about 10 minutes then its obvious that its the REAL accurate color. Real life looks like that.
So yeah, for all of you doubting the Warm recommendations, just stick with it for like half an hour and it will make sense. Normal or Cold is just artificially blue, life is not like that, you are ruining the perfect quality/color rendition you would expect from any display, more-so a new OLED.

Is it possible that Warm2 on some sets overshoots and makes things a little "too" warm? My C9's Warm2 seems WAY warmer than Warm2 on most other sets I've used.
It's possible but the variance is likely negligible. OLEDs tend to have some yellow tinting, with some panels have more yellowing than others. Mine has two large vertical yellowed streaks that are sort of noticeable when the screen is nearly all white. Warm2 looks very yellow initially but it really does become natural after some time. I'd recommend warming all of your screens, phones and laptops and monitors—it will help the adjustment so your eyes adapt to warmer temperatures.
Most sets actually have a little bit of a colour hue , due to not being calibrated for the panel variances . So it is possible for them to be a little greener than they should be (that's reasonably common)
I'll be damned if I use Warm 2 for my TV. Warm 1 is the farthest I'll go. Computer is ideal.

Very important setting that many overlook.

Hmmm, I'll give it a shot, it just seems to take away the ability to show pure white which, at least right now, is making everything look like I'm playing Deus Ex lmao
Interesting, the area I find that get's compromised with Warm2 is greens and blues. Maybe this explains it. Thanks for the insight.
I think this is where I'm going to end up. Warm1 is the best balance for me, on my C9 anyway.
Also I agree that warm 2 setting looked awful at first but I forced myself to use it for a week and now things look 'right', life is warm bro, not cold!
