Yeah I forgot to mention that I chose HDR only for supported content in the settings. I guess I can't get more out of both CX and PS5, they have reached their limit bandwidthwise etc I suppose.

For those who WiFi for their LG (I have a CX), did anyone else have any issues in trying connect to their modem after the most recent update (04.30.40)?
The connection can be spotty at times for me, but when it has, all I've had to do was turn the TV off and turn it back on and I could connect. But today, for whatever reason, it would not allow me to connect to my modem and it actually kept asking for the password. Even if I inputted it, it still would not connect.
I finally had to turn off my Quick Start feature and that seemed to have made the difference. Even after looking that up, I'm still not sure exactly what that does. It seemed to turn on just as quickly when I turned the Quick Start feature.

The Xbox dashboard may appear brighter since it's running in SDR and you can manually adjust the OLED light setting/knits while in SDR. The PS5 is setting the brightness for its dashboard since it's running in HDR HGiG. I'm not sure if anyone has measured the brightness of the PS5 dashboard when it's in HDR to get exact numbers. The PS5 dashboard should look about the same in HDR and SDR though, so I'd assume it's around 150-170 knits. I'd assume this measurement would also apply to SDR games running in the PS5's HDR container, but not entirely sure.
As for games looking darker on PS5, it's hard to say. It's most likely going to differ from game to game and how that games HDR is implemented.
it's happening with the Hulu app. Every time I turn on my C1, I have to update Hulu app to the same version number. It's bugged.
I forgot there's an HDR adjustment step after enabling HGIG (I think? looked like it helped the dimness in the dashboard). Either way, I booted up Returnal for the first time and it looked good. I'll have to maybe try out a few more games and compare DTM to HGIG.
I was playing BoTW yesterday and switched it to HDR Effect on my CX for giggles just to see what it looked like. After tuning a couple of things, if actually looked better than the game mode setting?
Because of that motion smoothing setting, if actually felt closer to 60 FPS rather than 30.
I only ran around Kakariko Village for a bit.
Now waiting for someone here to tell me that it actually looks like ass and my eyes are broken.

You don't need us to, it sounds like you secretly know inside yourself.
I think this is the most confusing part
for HGIG: turn on HGIG and then do the calibration patterns in console settings
for DTM: turn OFF DTM entirely, do the calibration patterns in console settings, then turn DTM ON
if you want to compare the two, you have to switch settings on TV and console every time. it's the same process on xsx and ps5

no one else is playing games on your TV so don't worry about them ;)
that said; my biggest concern would be related to input response time outside of game mode. if it's tolerable, enjoy
Is there? I have always found HGIG too dark.
Also, is having OLED light at 100 bad for the TV?
This has not been an issue at all so far surprisingly. I played for probably 3 hours today. Damn this game gets you sinked in somehow
You do have Energy Saving off right? These game are not dim with HGIG.
I was told that a 65" inch shouldn't be attached to a swivel wall mount unless the wall is double bricked is this true?
I was reading a bit online about D65 and the whole warm 40/50 setting. I don't think I get it. It doesn't look horrible but like I have Night Shift or Flux enabled. Is it supposed to be accurate to how the professionals working on what I'm watching looked at it, because it doesn't look true to reality (blue sky and clouds all have a noticeable yellow tinge).
It can be hard to get use to since like every tv comes set to "cool" which enhances the blue. The "warm" settings are what most content is created under and more accurately simulates natural lighting.
One of the things that when you get use to it it will look better and you will start to see how off cool color temperatures look.
There are a few things like that that appear worse at first just because of how use to a different thing you are. Like how mismatching black levels can seem to make things "pop" more and you never realize the dark details you are missing until you set it properly.
I know it depends on the space you're viewing in too, so I might just need to further tweak. My TV is on the main floor with decent natural lighting and I think a lot of these recommendations are for completely dark rooms.
So... is the recomendation for halo infinite HDR or DV? It seems HDR is better?
Not for me on B7.
I would wait the final version before switching DV off for later models...
On the TV or on the PS5?
Does this have influence on things like HGIG, or is that controlled differently?
Many thanks
for hdr no. It's supposed to be at 100.
For sdr yah. I think I had my settled around 45 or so. Seen others get closer towards 60.
No, it won't affect HGIG. It's just a way for the TV to turn on or off hdmi devices, or for devices to be able to change inputs on the TV. It's great in theory but I find the implementation on the C1 to be wonky, specially with the PS5.
On the C1: Go to Settings > General > HDMI devices > Simple link (HDMI - CEC) and set that to off.
I can't remember if it has to be done for every HDMI input.

In the MP Beta DV looks significantly worse than HDR on my CX. Was hoping they'd fix it for launch.
I'm just hoping they fixed the broken video gamma levels on all Halo Infinite FMVs (including the opening 343 and Xbox Studios logos FMVs). Such a terrible first impression every time I boot up the MP beta.
I've run into this issue as well on my CX. My PS5 is not currently hooked up to my CX, so hard to test/remember, but I believe I left the CX Black Level setting on Auto and then cycled between PS5's settings for RGB Range (Automatic, Limited, and Full) until things looked right.
If you have the Last of Us 2 on PS5 the dashboard/OS wallpaper for the game while it is selected on the home screen is a great reference:
With the wrong settings the blacks are crushed and you cannot see a lot of the grey to the left of Ellie. I think the issue is when using Auto on both CX and PS5 they do not handshake correctly and things are mismatched. I can't recall, but I also want to say I had crushed blacks when setting CX Black Level to "Low" and PS5 RGB Range to "Limited." I could be wrong about that one though.
RGB Limited (or Standard Color Space) on consoles/PC coupled wilth Black Level Low on the TV will always be the only correct settings.I've run into this issue as well on my CX.

Really, these TVs are not meant to reproduce Full RGB and will just do it with issues when forced.
As expected, release version doesnt appear to have fixed raised black levels on pre rendered videos or Dolby Vision implementation.
Wow yes videos look terrible. I can't believe they ignored this bug.
I'm playing on HDR 10 using HGIG at 120Hz on LG C1 and intro video
to campaign looks terrible with the gray bars.
Game is incredible, but it's a party of raised black levels and VRR flicker on cut scenes and menus. Gameplay looks fine. I set Fine Tune Dark Areas to -3.
Playing Campaign on Quality, will use Performance (120 fps) only for MP.
This has been my mindset for years, but Vincent Teoh now recommends Full/Auto on PS5 at least, and says it's natively Full.
I've had zero issues in over a year with Auto/Auto (which is full) on PS5 and Full/Full on PC. I only use Limited/Low on XSX.
LG CX, forgot to mention.
I'm wondering too. I'm tired of seeing HDR settings with vague descriptions or no useful info. What does the value of 50 mean for the HDR setting?? I don't know!! Guess I'll roll with default for now.
are you getting black bars or gray bars on the cutscenes (if you've played campaign)?
someone in the game OT said this issue is fixed if you play DV. I might have to just because of this lol
Man, I used to have a shitty TV with bad HDR (I'm not sure the exact amount but it couldn't push a lot of nits) and I just rolled with it. On this new C1 set though I switch back and forth between all the options. I'm still not sure if I prefer HGiG over regular HDR10. HGiG looks noticably more dim, but I feel like it brings out a tiny bit more detail in darker areas. Also it feels like HGiG has the more "realistic" color tones, while HDR makes them pop more. In some games, I like HGiG more, in others HDR. I just can't make up my mind and constantly switch and it drives me crazy.
And then there's also DV on Series X. Though so far it's the one setting I like the least. Didn't really like how Forza and Halo looked with it. It's great for movies and series though.

Yeah, the pre-rendered cutscenes are bugged right now. The black levels are incorrect. In-game is fine. Happens in DV and HDR10. DV doesn't seem to be working correctly either? EvilBoris mentioned the beta capped at 300nits and that may still be the case
I had to do nothing in game for DV.
Everything is automatically sublime (on my B7 using suggested settings in the OP for DV Game preset and Xbox at least).
The game is both stunning to look (in DV), hear (in DTS: Headphone X) and play.
Even if there are still some small issues (FMVs still have raised blacks while in-game is fine; stuttery in-game cutscenes, some 30fps animations etc), this is by far the best Halo I've ever experienced so far.
My God
Switch off Dolby vision.
HDR at 30
Brightness probably needs to drop a bit too, otherwise night time is super light
Hi guys, I'm having issues with the HDMI CEC setting. Everytime I turn on my LG CX, it automatically turn on my PS5. This won't happened if my last source before turning off the TV is not the HDMI port of my PS5.
Can I make it so the PS5 won't automatically turn on? I don't want to disable the HDMI CEC since I still want turning on the PS5 automatically turn on my TV.

I might have to buy that service menu remote to disable ABSL or whatever because all this dimming while watching sports (prob games too) is just terrible.
do they actually check if you've been in the menu for warranty purposes?
