What are the best preset settings to use on an LG C9 for someone who watches movies/tv shows (4K content)(UHD, Netflix, etc) in a dark room who wants a good vibrant picture?
Hey, at least you can admire something. I can't walk into a Best Buy without trying to find the remote to any of their display models in order to set it up correctly, lol.was waiting in line at mcdonalds yesterday, admiring the black levels of their menu screens

Yes, I was thinking It probably is not as easy as just putting some HDMI 2.1 ports on the tv's. Those TV's have to be capable of higher refreshrates.It's not just Sony though. The transition to HDMI 2.1 and features has been a slog with almost all manufacturers. I mean I am sure there are reasons, but it seems like a sure fire bet that most manufacturers coming into 2020 ces would have more offerings.
So I'm looking to build a new PC and, due to a number of reasons, I will have to use my LG C9 55 inch as a monitor. I'll be sitting on a comfy armchair with some sort of table to hold the keyboard/mouse. However before I start seriously planning for it I've got a few questions:
1) When it comes to burn-in should I be worrying about using the PC as a monitor? I don't expect to use it a significant amount of the time seeing as I've got a laptop that's perfectly fine for general browsing, but I will be using it for probably an hour each day (on average).
2) Is it OK if I shoot for 1440p gaming instead of 4K gaming? Is there any easy way I can test what a 1440p game looks like on my TV from Xbox One X or PS4 Pro? I don't have nearly enough money to go for 4K PC gaming but a 2070 Super is in my price-range and that seems to be great for 1440p
3) Will Variable Refresh Rate work out of the box? I might consider using the TV's 120hz capabilities when playing games, but only if I can get that with the benefits of VRR.
Any help would be much appreciated!
I think thats just placebo, iirc ps4 and ps4 pro dont support freesyncFor those with samsung QLEDS, I was saying multiple times in here that Freesync was causing ghosting with samsung qleds and my Q70. I was wrong (at least with the games I tried):
I tried multiple games: The cause of ghosting with my TV was having judder reduction on (setting within game motion plus). And combined with Freesync worsened the ghosting. This was not really noticeable on 60fps games (tested BF1 and DOA 6), but it was very visible with dreams and bloodborne.
The added value of Freesync seemed most noticeable with dreams, and somehow it was more in the sense of character movements feeling less heavy. In other games it was hardly noticeable, I guess it would benefit games the most with unlocked fps.
With bloodborne what improved the game the most was having blur reduction in game motion plus to 10. This gives to me a very big improvement in character motion, as if it is a 60fps game motion wise, and somehow it also seems to give a subtile improvement in the lighting in the game. Almost as if it is the PS5 remaster. This did not seem to give noticable improvement for DOA 6, although this game is already amazing in motion on the TV with and without blur reduction.
Also for other Q70 owners, if you will not calibrate the TV, the flatpanel white balance settings with slight adjustments (on my part for my TV) seems to give much better calibrated colors as I noticed that some yellow letterboxes on my previous TV had a greenish color to them on this TV, the flatpanel settings corrected this for me:

1. Keep OLED light low and autohide the taskbar, maybe setup a rotating wallpaper and screensaver and you would be fine even for using it as your main screen.
2. Sure. If you have Uncharted 4 I think that renders at 1440p.
3. As long as you have the latest firmware update and enable G-Sync in Nvidia Control Panel.
Lol I was about to say when the hell did that happen?I think thats just placebo, iirc ps4 and ps4 pro dont support freesync
Ic thanks for the correction, I was not aware of it, I guess thats why I did not notice much with other games since its well spoken off in here I was wondering what the hype was about. But it does do something to the screen with some ps4 games in combination with judder at 10: giving additional ghosting effects.I think thats just placebo, iirc ps4 and ps4 pro dont support freesync
You should not have any post processing effect on you are adding a fair amount of lag.Ic thanks for the correction, I was not aware of it, I guess thats why I did not notice much with other games since its well spoken off in here I was wondering what the hype was about.

I think judder is under the true motion on the lgs which have quite the performance hit for latency.The Samsung's have a game mode interpolation which totals something like 21ms, so fairly harmless in the scheme of things if he feels it helps.
Not for me though

Ita best to turn the extra game mode options off. Personally i play in non game mode. Blooming supression is way better outside of game mode and i didnt really notice the extra lag.Ic thanks for the correction, I was not aware of it, I guess thats why I did not notice much with other games since its well spoken off in here I was wondering what the hype was about.

If you fancy spending a bit more money, and want an excellent sofa PC experience, buy this keyboard and lapboard with a Dark Core mouse, absolutely brilliant, way better than a table.

The logo lumiance adustment for the LG TVs would be the closest feature but I'm not sure if it works on HUDs, even in game mode. So as long as the TV isn't set extremely bright whenever your playing, you should be fine.I'm thinking about buying a B9 this weekend or next.
I'm hearing the whole burn in thing is overblown. But I'm concerned that if I play an MMO or a JRPG I'll have the health bars burnt in. Do the TV's have anything to help with game possible game out UI burn in ?
For as good as rtings is, why do they tell people to change white balance settings?
PS4/PRO does not support VRR/Freesync, so what you are seeing in Dreams is not because of Freesync. Both the TV and the Source (Console) need to support it.For those with samsung QLEDS, I was saying multiple times in here that Freesync was causing ghosting with samsung qleds and my Q70.

Decided to demo some Disney + stuff on the C9, oh my what a difference once again compared to my previous TV, the Q9FN. The picture is just that more crisp and that really goes a long way but even things like The Mandalorian looked a great deal better and nowhere near as dim. Is Dolby Vision perhaps proper HDR compared to HDR10 in that show? I remember how dim it was on the Q9FN in HDR10.
Could ghosting be from having Black Frame Insertion enabled (which in my experience can cause double images on moving content)? Or is this a different type of ghosting artifact?For those with samsung QLEDS, I was saying multiple times in here that Freesync was causing ghosting with samsung qleds and my Q70.

Oh well I have no patience. I just picked up a 55 C9 for gaming. I think I'm good on TVs for awhile. I guess I'll find out if it does 4k 120hz HDR gsync later this year, hopefully the gamble pays off.Is there anywhere that says the b/c 9 will be able to do 120hz 4k hdr w/gsync. I mean written anywhere online? It seems like it all speculation at this point with the only proof I think we've seen 120 hz g-sync with HDR 1440p but will not have confirmation until 2.1 comes out which makes me a bit weary. I know at this point that 120 hz with HDR at 4K will be doable I think for both the C9 and the b9 series, but what about with g-sync?

The 8K TVs are stupid expensive. It's why they're doing this bullshit switcheroo on their models to push people to actually buy them, even though buying an 8K TV is the dumbest thing anyone can do right now.So my 2008 samsung is finally dying. :( I can get whatever, but if I'm afraid of burn-in should I just not even bother with oled? And how long is an oled even designed to last before wear down? (yeah, I like running stuff into the ground totally before upgrading).
Looks like Samsung announced their new tvs, but without any real specs (and
they're just bumping up weaker models from last year and calling them better ones?) and I'm assuming they wont have hdmi 2.1 so I was just thinking of getting a 2019 q90. The 2019 8k is supposed to have 2.1 on a port, but apparently the 4k is a better tv for cheaper. Or maybe I can just buy something small and cheap and wait to see if 2.1 is on more TVs in 2021?
I'm pretty sure Nvidia is just implementing their version of HDMI vrr standard with their HDMI g sync and HDR already works with g sync on c9. Just need the bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 to hit 4k120.Oh well I have no patience. I just picked up a 55 C9 for gaming. I think I'm good on TVs for awhile.

Probably so. Any idea till we get 2.1. I mean are the next Nvidia cards 2.1?I'm pretty sure Nvidia is just implementing their version of HDMI vrr standard with their HDMI g sync and HDR already works with g sync on c9. Just need the bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 to hit 4k120.

You have a TV that's better than 95% of people that have a tv. You'll be fine.Oh well I have no patience. I just picked up a 55 C9 for gaming. I think I'm good on TVs for awhile. I guess I'll find out if it does 4k 120hz HDR gsync later this year, hopefully the gamble pays off.

Yep, someone here in a PM recommended me to use that one. It sounds like that isn't the "proper" one as the maker of a movie or show intended?

chuck it in ISF dark room as a good baseline, and you can then tweak to your preference. Main things you might want to look at are "OLED light" for how bright the image is in your room, the various trumotion settings for judder etc, and colour warm 1/warm 2 etc which should be fine on default but may not be to you taste
