Wish you could make an updated version of this video since we had so many updates from both LG and Sony. You have recommended PC mode for the LG C1 more recently, I wonder if that would also translate for the LG CX
I have a LGCX and love to hear from you the settings for Netflix, Disney +, TH-cam for best accuracy. Just the way you talk about video games... Thanka
Came across this channel looking to buy a new TV in over 10 years. I really appreciate the insight but I appreciate the humour so much more lol. Awesome stuff!
edit. Okay finally i go with HDMI input Game Mode and set Black level to lo also tve ps5. Why the c9 cant set black level to automatik outside of pc mode... Nice video! Finally someone who treats and answers so many questions so well and intensively. I love your videos! For all LG Oled C9 owners. You have to switch the HDMI port to PC mode to set the black level to automatic. The rest stays the same. And for all those who have red flickering, the "Live Plus" option turns off which can be found under General -> Additional settings. But for Blu rays the PC Mode isnt that good? :(
I’m not sure about if I should use PC mode or game mode. In the video he explains that it’s not necessary. But Since there has been some patch update and so on, what is the best option?
Vincent thanks allot for the calibration video for PS5 and Xbox Series X ! I have the CX for about 4 days now, and its really the best tv i ever owned !
@@samwalsh8299 I don’t understand the need for humongous TVs, just get closer to the TV (or get the tv closer to you) and save a truck load of money 👌 (I also have the cx 48)
I have Xfinity flex(an streaming box) and it supports Dolby vision and atmos. Watching the new Wonder Woman 1984 in CX was so freaking amazing!! PS5 couldn't do Dolby vision yet I believe.
On my 65 inch CX on PS5 I much prefer the Warm 1 colour setting - Warm 2 leeches the vibrancy out of blues too much. Also, the Sharpening at 5-10 feels cleaner to me than turning it down to zero. Just my ‘visual impressions’!
@@hdtvtest I think it would be nice to have best settings for older gaming consoles, even SD ones on the CX. PS4, PS3, even PS2 and Wii. What are the best options for non 4K content?
This was a great christmas video! Been waiting for this for my ps5 and CX setup! Also the hdr camera is sick, was surprised when I went to change the quality and saw hdr, looks great
Man, I wish you could do a calibration video for PC Gaming on an LG CX. I feel so lost between all the LG CX settings in addition to all the possible GPU settings.
I think everything you said is 100 percent besides the warm 2 ,I have the cx65 and I think warm 2 sucks the color right out of my games and makes everything have a orange\yellow tint. All the settings you applied and medium as the color preset looks the best to me.
C9 owners - I did a little test regarding black level / pc mode. Good news from some quick tests. PS5: RGB Automatic. TV: Don't use PC mode (as per Vincent). Choose Game mode and set Black level to High (since there's no auto like CX) while on ps5 menu. Now pop in a Blu-ray. Once movie starts up, choose a different picture mode like ISF Expert. Disable trumotion and enable Real Cinema. Ensure black level is Low. Movie should look great. Now exit the movie back to ps5 or a game. You'll notice the C9 switched back to Game mode and High black level! I think this allows us to have the same benefit as CX allowing the ps5 to switch from limited and full automatically. Side note: I've only tested with SDR Blu-ray and that could be why this works. I ordered my first HDR Ultra Blu-ray and when it comes in test again.
@@alvarogoncalves1888 Did you happen to test with an Ultra HD (4k) Blu-ray w/ HDR? I'm still waiting on amazon to ship my first one so I can test with that too. Normal blu-rays don't support HDR so I think it "works" just because it's switching from HDR picture mode to an SDR picture mode. But will test in a day or two when it comes.
@@YTMsux Don’t have one unfortunately, just a standard blu ray. But it’s clear the default level on the ps5 is high since there is no difference between high and automatic while low level triggers the change and the image gets too washed out. While with automatic and low on the tv the image gets too dark with blacks too crushed. This for games, when watching a bluray in sdr, automatic on the ps5 and low on the tv gives the perfect picture and after changing the settings for the first time the tv does it all on its own from then on.
I just wish I could get my LG CX on my PS5 to look amazing. It don’t feel like it jumps off the screen too me. Seems to dim on the menus and the games look good but not exactly what I expect from an OLED. My 4K Blu-ray’s don’t look amazing either. Lol.
Watched this video on PC and felt something was off. Then read the description. LOL!! Started the video again on HDR capable CX 55 and enjoyed it for the second time!.
I’m pretty sure you are an insane person. I don’t even really want a new TV but I love your videos lol. Merry Christmas and can’t wait to watch more of your awesome videos next year.
Go onnnnn! I love seeing people get a new TV. Especially OLED is a nuts upgrade if you are coming from an edge lit LCD (or a subpar backlit LCD). What exact model do you currently have? Its on a sticker on the back of the set or in the about page. I won't make fun of your TV but just tell you how much of an upgrade OLED would be. I've even seen 100s of disinterested partners stop and say wow when they see the image on an OLED. It makes everything look better not just films and games, even cheap TV shows.
Same settings except for the black level setting that Vincent actually mentioned... Black level Low on C9 and RGB range limited on PS5 (leaving this om auto it will crush blacks)
I am one of the few people who actually need this video and I can't thank you enough! P.S. any chance of a "best picture settings for watching films" ?
I haven't haven't had the opportunity to test a CX, but I've noticed that with a C9 PC, in mode transcoding isn't particularly accurate, leading to noticeable gradient tinting. Also, Merry Christmas!
Bro is there another setting you have to put on because I put hdr to off on ps5 settings but when I check the freesync information it says 60 still? Or is it hidden
Hey Vincent, I actually copied down these TV settings on my LG that only costs £180 lol, and these are the best settings even for that. I use it for everything. My Xbox, my TV use. I can always trust you Vincent. At least you know what your on about unlike other people on TH-cam. Many thanks
Vincent doesn't hardcore PS5 gamer. Sharpness gives a big benefits in 25-30 points. And someone change the brightness more than 50. You can do that. This fixes Black Crush. You will not have perfect black, but you will have shades and details in the shadows.
Hi! Can you please elaborate more about Warm2 Colour Temperature? I think white goes too yellow, and I considerate Warm1 a more colour accurate setting, but I'm only basically a newbie and I'd love more info! Thanks as always for your work and merry christmas. 💚❤️
I recently got myself a CX and its a beautiful tv although I have to give Samsung props for HDR performance in game mode, I previously owned a Q6fn and hdr with my ps5 blew me away. Hopefully the CX will get better in time.
When you change the settings as Vincent recommends, it'll change the name of the Picture mode from 'Game' to 'Game (User)'. So you can easily toggle between that mode and e.g. Standard/Cinema mode when you want to switch from gaming to media.
I saw your xbox video and wondered if you had this specific video. Thank you, my favorite tv so far, looking to upgrade soon! Thank you so much for this, you earned a new sub
You might also consider using the settings Vincent recommended for the C9. Black level Low and in the PS5 settings->Screen and Video->Video Output->RGB Range: Limited See the pinned comment he made under this video: th-cam.com/video/kObwjX75WUo/w-d-xo.html
@@Lallebal360 I was already using black level low and rgb range limited due to the fact that the b9 doesn’t support auto black level outside pc mode. I was just wondering if I should just use my ps5 in pc mode on my lg b9 since it offers auto black level. Would it have any disadvantages?
Input lag...it reduces input lag from pressing a button on controller to actually see the movement on the screen. I thought that milliseconds are bs...but after playing hollow knight bosses I thought something was off...I turned on Pc mode and never looked back. It does make a difference in hard games...Dark souls..street fighter...basically all. That cinema mode doesn't do much other than smooth out movie from 24..to like 30...clears the judder.. but its really really hard to notice. I would go Pc mode on every tv every time. It also grays out all the unnecessary settings that Vincent turned off anyway. ◇ Sharpness: 0 ◇ Color: 50 ◇ Advanced Controls: ▪ Dynamic Tone Mapping: HGiG ▪ White Balance: Warm2 ◇ Picture Options: ▪ Black Level: Auto AND PC Mode on...done!
@@RDMelo-un3eb What?...oh you mean on this particular tv. Game video settings is just a pre set profile...game, cinema, sport...they are just presets. So I guess you chose "pc mode" on one of the presets...(Vincent chose game preset) and change setting inside this preset. You can change those setting in cinema preset..or whatever..but we are talking PS5 here. auto dark...in dakrnes lv. And since TVs are kinda weird about darkness...on a ps5 more natural picture would be automatic...but if you want to be wizard...than choose limited rgb. Oh this tv has hgih colorspace...ok.. Ps5 automatic everything. Auto dark on Tv as Vincent. But for gaming PC mode on.
@@Stanjara but wouldn’t Game Mode have the lowest level of input lag like PC Mode? I thought that was the point of Game Mode. I definitely want the lowest input lag imaginable. Would love to see tests of PC Mode vs Game Mode(I use HDR Game Mode).
@@TheProphegy Game mode, cinema mode, sports mode...they are called modes here, but they are pre sets...you can chose different picture settings, color, mpeg noise reduction, active backlight and so on, on each of them, but they are just memory slots for settings...so you can quickly change them depending on what you are watching. But setting your tv right, calibrating here like Vincent usually means it is good for everything...color correction especially. If you are using Tv for gaming...since it is the title of the video...for PS5...or any console PC Mode turns all post processing Tv effects, so that you can read small PC text. That reduces input lag. Now ... PC mode...Gaming Mode...or, different manufactures call it differently, is a separate setting from anything. I've seen tests...mostly from Linus tech tips... that even if you turn everything off in presets...like for gaming...input lag is still high until you activate separate PC mode. So I just turn PC mode on and forget about it. I can still mess around with sharpness and color tint...but smooth motion...that fake 120hz..thing...mpeg reduction...and other crap is grayed out. My Pc Mode is turned on...ON game picture preset. If I switch to Cinema preset...there is Pc mode turned off. Its difficult to explain like this and I totaly understand Vincent for rambling too long in his videos.
2:30 into video, you have to unlock UHD color stuff for your 4k blu ray player as well. I've only had the LGCX 10 oled 65 inch for about three days, the Xbox series X looks great but says Dolby Vision doesn't work, and my Sony super expensive 4K Blu-ray player was super dark color, untill i hit this button, then he got twice as bright and I sat back and finally enjoyed the TV. I've been buying TVs since November trying to find the best one and this is the best one, there is some oddness about big fields of grass it almost looks bad but every single other thing looks 10 times better than my Sony X 900 h 65 inch
I would guess the sharpness being at 10 by default is to compete with certain other brands that have a slightly sharper image by default due to differences in the upscaling of sub-4K content and presentation of native 4K content. The upscaling method is faster to reduce input lag buy produces a less sharp image overall so that setting is to counter the effect. I saw a lot of LG OLEDs next to competitor OLEDs and whether in Vivid, Standard or most accurate out of the box picture preset the competitor was generally a bit sharper to me. Plus people just prefer a sharper image generally because it increases perceived contrast and even makes colours look "better".
Thanks for the advice, Vincent. I'd be very interested if you were to do videos on your preferred settings for other modes like Filmmaker HDR and SDR, Dolby Vision content, and also PC mode when using the LG CX as a desktop monitor (for several purposes like PC gaming, standard desktop use and maybe to watch some TH-cam or Netflix). That would be lovely ! Merry Christmas 🎄
Definitely. The PS5 settings are the right ones for any 2.1 TV. The only difference will be the color setting in your Game Mode preset which should either be 50 or between 50-55. If you want a more accurate look set your color temperature to Warm 2 or W40.
Please Vincent, give us a detailed video about LG PC mode and what it actually does (a more technical description) and when we should enable it or not. Escpecially targetting Xbox SX, PS5 (as you mentioned in this video) and for the RTX 30x0 video cards. It is still confusing if PC mode should be enabled or not.
@@georgecarcamo7457 I ended up switching to PC mode for gaming which enabled black level auto and full 4:4:4 rgb which is apparently only possible in pc mode.
Hello Vince. Im a user of the C9 i bought that tv after you're review to bee future proof because of the HDMI 2.1. Im satisfied about this gorgeous tv but im really disappointed about the Freesync Premium mode thats wasn't enabled on the C9. I know that you know many people from LG can't you ask them for these mode for the C9. Maybe it will come like HGIG to the C9 and many user will be satisfied.
Merry Christmas everyone!

When you change the settings as Vincent recommends, it'll change the name of the Picture mode from 'Game' to 'Game (User)'. So you can easily toggle between that mode and e.g. Standard/Cinema mode when you want to switch from gaming to media.
@@danielharris4298 thanks 😊
I saw your xbox video and wondered if you had this specific video. Thank you, my favorite tv so far, looking to upgrade soon! Thank you so much for this, you earned a new sub
Should I use PC mode on my LG B9 with my ps5 since it doesn’t support auto black level on the b9 unless it’s in pc mode ?
Yes
Yup :)
You might also consider using the settings Vincent recommended for the C9. Black level Low and in the PS5 settings->Screen and Video->Video Output->RGB Range: Limited
See the pinned comment he made under this video: th-cam.com/video/kObwjX75WUo/w-d-xo.html
@@Lallebal360 I was already using black level low and rgb range limited due to the fact that the b9 doesn’t support auto black level outside pc mode. I was just wondering if I should just use my ps5 in pc mode on my lg b9 since it offers auto black level. Would it have any disadvantages?
@@Lallebal360 I agree
“Exit the first use as quickly as possible” - I died 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for this!
What about the C9? PC mode or keep game mode and go with limited?
Pc mode only if you use it for non-game media
@@atlas2758 what?
@@sacballa_kills_em_wit_facts u cant read?
Always learn something from Vincent. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Are these settings still relevant today?
Thanks for making this HDTV Test!
I'm just going to use these settings on my C9
Nice you have the better oled!
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree not so sure bout that
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree that has been debunked ages ago.
@@jaspelino1963 not for pc gamers that are able to use 48gbps
This made a huge impact for me! Thanks!
If I don’t plan on watching 4K Blu-ray’s on the PS5, what’s the benefits of switching to PC Mode? Is there any reason since no 4/4/4?
Input lag...it reduces input lag from pressing a button on controller to actually see the movement on the screen.
I thought that milliseconds are bs...but after playing hollow knight bosses I thought something was off...I turned on Pc mode and never looked back.
It does make a difference in hard games...Dark souls..street fighter...basically all.
That cinema mode doesn't do much other than smooth out movie from 24..to like 30...clears the judder.. but its really really hard to notice.
I would go Pc mode on every tv every time.
It also grays out all the unnecessary settings that Vincent turned off anyway.
◇ Sharpness: 0
◇ Color: 50
◇ Advanced Controls:
▪ Dynamic Tone Mapping: HGiG
▪ White Balance: Warm2
◇ Picture Options:
▪ Black Level: Auto
AND PC Mode on...done!
Pc mode and then game video setrings inside pc mode? Or expert dark ?
@@RDMelo-un3eb What?...oh you mean on this particular tv. Game video settings is just a pre set profile...game, cinema, sport...they are just presets.
So I guess you chose "pc mode" on one of the presets...(Vincent chose game preset)
and change setting inside this preset.
You can change those setting in cinema preset..or whatever..but we are talking PS5 here.
auto dark...in dakrnes lv.
And since TVs are kinda weird about darkness...on a ps5 more natural picture would be automatic...but if you want to be wizard...than choose limited rgb.
Oh this tv has hgih colorspace...ok..
Ps5 automatic everything.
Auto dark on Tv as Vincent.
But for gaming PC mode on.
@@Stanjara but wouldn’t Game Mode have the lowest level of input lag like PC Mode? I thought that was the point of Game Mode. I definitely want the lowest input lag imaginable. Would love to see tests of PC Mode vs Game Mode(I use HDR Game Mode).
@@TheProphegy Game mode, cinema mode, sports mode...they are called modes here, but they are pre sets...you can chose different picture settings, color, mpeg noise reduction, active backlight and so on, on each of them, but they are just memory slots for settings...so you can quickly change them depending on what you are watching.
But setting your tv right, calibrating here like Vincent usually means it is good for everything...color correction especially.
If you are using Tv for gaming...since it is the title of the video...for PS5...or any console PC Mode turns all post processing Tv effects, so that you can read small PC text.
That reduces input lag.
Now ... PC mode...Gaming Mode...or, different manufactures call it differently,
is a separate setting from anything.
I've seen tests...mostly from Linus tech tips... that even if you turn everything off in presets...like for gaming...input lag is still high until you activate separate PC mode.
So I just turn PC mode on and forget about it. I can still mess around with sharpness and color tint...but smooth motion...that fake 120hz..thing...mpeg reduction...and other crap is grayed out.
My Pc Mode is turned on...ON game picture preset.
If I switch to Cinema preset...there is Pc mode turned off.
Its difficult to explain like this and I totaly understand Vincent for rambling too long in his videos.
Going to get my ps5 today I think. So now this video come to good use! Thx Vincent!
Won’t be able to get the PS5 or CX for another few months. Really looking forward to when I can enjoy this video to its full potential 😅
I’m in the same boat! Definitely saving this video to watch again in a few months
I’m in the exact same situation! Probably gonna be a few months before I have the ps5 and cx
Wait till next years model
I have both, the 55 CX and PS5. Loving it! Happy to share my settings if interested when you guys get your setup.
@@i3lvlvvs yes that would be great
2:30 into video, you have to unlock UHD color stuff for your 4k blu ray player as well. I've only had the LGCX 10 oled 65 inch for about three days, the Xbox series X looks great but says Dolby Vision doesn't work, and my Sony super expensive 4K Blu-ray player was super dark color, untill i hit this button, then he got twice as bright and I sat back and finally enjoyed the TV. I've been buying TVs since November trying to find the best one and this is the best one, there is some oddness about big fields of grass it almost looks bad but every single other thing looks 10 times better than my Sony X 900 h 65 inch
I really don’t get it with everyone and Warm 2, HGIG, etc. it’s way too dark for gaming settings and I’m in quite a dark room.
Did you set the ps5s hdr correctly and adjust the game your playing hdr
You still need to adjust the settings in game. HGIG means “stop the console doing it and let me do it”.
@@NecroMoz HGIG enables the consoles adjusted hdr & lets you be able to configure in game hdr calibration correctly
Thank you so much for this. Just got a CX55 and PS5. This saved me from fooling around too much.
I like the same but my white balence is medium and I turn dynamic tone mapping on depending on what games I'm playing. I'm not a fan of the warm 2
@@ryelybrown1816 Agreed. Warm 2 and hgig ruins the image for my games.
I just found out the full name of male V is Vincent.
And the female V is Vincenta
yup same here
@@mimirsvision9929 lmao no it’s Valerie
@@mimirsvision9929 No, it's Valerie.
Guys I know it was a bad joke :-)
Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this one 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video! Same settings should work for Bx right? 0 sharpness only for games or also for movies? Always used 10 like other TH-camrs recommended.
I'm sure he would say 0 for 4k blu-ray.
I would guess the sharpness being at 10 by default is to compete with certain other brands that have a slightly sharper image by default due to differences in the upscaling of sub-4K content and presentation of native 4K content. The upscaling method is faster to reduce input lag buy produces a less sharp image overall so that setting is to counter the effect. I saw a lot of LG OLEDs next to competitor OLEDs and whether in Vivid, Standard or most accurate out of the box picture preset the competitor was generally a bit sharper to me. Plus people just prefer a sharper image generally because it increases perceived contrast and even makes colours look "better".
Thank you Vincent!! you are the wonder superman we asked for Christmas! many many thanks! Glad to subbed you.
Thanks for the advice, Vincent. I'd be very interested if you were to do videos on your preferred settings for other modes like Filmmaker HDR and SDR, Dolby Vision content, and also PC mode when using the LG CX as a desktop monitor (for several purposes like PC gaming, standard desktop use and maybe to watch some TH-cam or Netflix). That would be lovely ! Merry Christmas 🎄
Just want to say thanks for all the really great videos you do lots of knowledge I have learned from your videos!!!
Hi, can i use this setting for my lg C9? Thank you
Yes
Your videos have been an absolute life saver!!! Much thanks🙏🏻
Would these settings apply for the c9 also?
Thanks and Merry Xmas :)
Definitely. The PS5 settings are the right ones for any 2.1 TV.
The only difference will be the color setting in your Game Mode preset which should either be 50 or between 50-55.
If you want a more accurate look set your color temperature to Warm 2 or W40.
@@lecorsaire2283 warm 40 lol? Yeah that Ain’t it dude.
Please Vincent, give us a detailed video about LG PC mode and what it actually does (a more technical description) and when we should enable it or not. Escpecially targetting Xbox SX, PS5 (as you mentioned in this video) and for the RTX 30x0 video cards. It is still confusing if PC mode should be enabled or not.
does this settings work for c9?
Yes same tv basically lol
Except at 11:50, our C9s don't have an Auto option for Black Level.
@@beatsandmel0dy I still left RGB to automatic. Limited really seemed to dull the picture.
@@GlennAquilina
did you set your black to high or low? After setting rgb to auto?
I also don't have black auto setting
@@georgecarcamo7457 I ended up switching to PC mode for gaming which enabled black level auto and full 4:4:4 rgb which is apparently only possible in pc mode.
Thanks Vincent, I found this video very helpful. Cheers!
Is there a cliff notes on the settings?
Hello Vince. Im a user of the C9 i bought that tv after you're review to bee future proof because of the HDMI 2.1. Im satisfied about this gorgeous tv but im really disappointed about the Freesync Premium mode thats wasn't enabled on the C9. I know that you know many people from LG can't you ask them for these mode for the C9. Maybe it will come like HGIG to the C9 and many user will be satisfied.
