"hard to notice" .. i mean do you really see the e.g. color delta difference between 1.9 and 1.0 if you don't have 2 TVs side by side?Most colors are slightly inaccurate, and white balance is off, but it's hard to notice.
Oh I definitely will thank you š. The burn in if it happens it happens but I heard with these later models there's ways to prevent it and it's not as common as it used to be.Just the most important one: Enjoy your TV.
Don't go look for defects you would never notice if you hadn't gone out of your way to look for them. Don't worry about burn in, if it happens that's too bad but at least you were able to enjoy your TV to its fullest.
For calibration you can always use RTINGS baseline settings that should serve you nicely for the most part.
Most TVs are able to achieve decent accuracy with only a few minor settings changes, most of which can be easily done by beginners at home, with no specialized equipment. For most people, having a TV professionally calibrated isn't necessary. In the end though, not everyone enjoys an accurate image, so you should adjust your TV to whatever looks best to you, adapted to your viewing conditions.
Would you recommend those preset choices on the first page? Thank you for that thread ill look through it.Also check out this thread for all your settings needs

Isn't warm 2 considered the industry standard I thought? I might need to try warm 1 then.The rtings calibration tips are a good way to go, but there are a handful of key things for me.
Firstly, unless you're in an HDR mode, don't turn your OLED light up too high (70 is the roof I've seen expressed). Going too high is just going to increase risk of burn-in.
Secondly, the rtings guide keeps mentioning Warm2 for color temp. I tend to disagree, I usually go Warm1. That's almost across the board. I'll also typically boost color up to 60 or 65.
Yes, definitely. I myself have got a C7 and the settings are really great.Would you recommend those preset choices on the first page? Thank you for that thread ill look through it.
I'll definitely try them. Thank you so much for the recommendation š.Yes, definitely. I myself have got a C7 and the settings are really great.
If it's not perfect for you it's at least a great starting point.
Thank you for the informative write up. I'll definitely tinker with it and enjoy š.Use it. thats my tip.
Calibration: what exactly are they doing?
A colorimeter would cost you 150$ (like the SpyderX Pro)
But, even better: there are some charts/color maps that you can use to calibrate to good enough levels for personal consumption. No need to invest to much money/time into it. Just display them on your tv, and dial it in yourself.
Also: calibration changes over time since every display ages. Don't fuss about it.
Take an evening and just go through every menu, look up what it does, and check if you want it enabled, dissabled, changed,...
Play around with it, and enjoy your new tv.

How To Calibrate Your TV
Here is a guide to calibrating the essential settings on your TV. The first setting to adjust is the picture mode. This is what makes the biggest difference in the calibration.www.rtings.comLCD monitor test images

RTings has a great conclusion on calibration:
Is there a way to have the CX display the current picture info? As in, resolution, hdr on/off, etc...
Would you recommend those preset choices on the first page? Thank you for that thread ill look through it.
Press repeatedly 5-6 times the green button with the little 3 dots and you should see the resolution / hrz etc or you can go in the Chanel setting just put the cursor on change channels or tune not sure and press #1 button 5 times which should bring you a complete description of what's going on behind the scene litterally loll
Now I'm confused b/c the green button has 2 dots & the yellow button has 3....
What's the issue with what ppl were saying? Just that the picture doesn't look good?There's people who have raised concerns about those settings. I would stick with rtings and HDTVtest recommendations.

Oh okay thank you for the tips. Much appreciated friend š.That the OP has a 2017 TV and is recommending settings that don't translate to the 2020 models. There's been some discussion where some people claim the settings are fine, others say they aren't. So I think it's best to stick with the experts.
Yeah thanks for this thread. I won't let them scam me lol.The CX is pretty well calibrated right out of the box, $250 is too much for whatever Best Buy would do.
Actually I got the TV from costco so I got a 5 year extended warranty for it.Don't pay for calibration, but do pay for an extended warranty.
Costco doesn't cover burn in which is the only concern on the TV.Actually I got the TV from costco so I got a 5 year extended warranty for it.
They don't? The guy mentioned that was one of the issues that were covered. Also doesn't lg cover it as well?Costco doesn't cover burn in which is the only concern on the TV.
Costco 100% does not cover burn in. LG doesn't officially cover it, but has been doing a one-time replacement for users. Best Buy extended warranty is the only one that officially covers it.They don't? The guy mentioned that was one of the issues that were covered. Also doesn't lg cover it as well?

It doesn't. It specifically states in the terms and condition it is 100% not covered. The only extended warranty to my knowledge that covers it is Best Buy.Your five year warranty is through an insurance company. I believe they will cover burn-in.
If it were someone like Vincent, then yeah, I'd pay.
Only the Best Buy warranty covers burn in. Costco and SquareTrade don't.Your five year warranty is through an insurance company. I believe they will cover burn-in.
Well shit lol. I heard the newer models of these tvs are pretty good about not having this issue but what are some things I can do to prevent it?Costco 100% does not cover burn in.
