I replicated these settings on my 65Q90T. Looks really decent. Note - they've changed the labels on the 90T. Backlight in the video is called Brightness on my TV. I set Brightness in the 90T to 40. Brightness in the video is called Shadow Detail on my TV. I set this to minus 2.
Just pleaee keep in mind these are my personal settings and I am by no means an expert and they have been posted to POTENTIALLY help you guys out,I guarantee nothing 😄 These settings I use for a variety of content such as regular TV,movies and gaming (out of game mode). Just as a side note,as good as these settings MIGHT be there are some scenes/situations where the Samsung will still struggle when it comes to black levels and you may still see blooming/raised black levels/washed out look.
Now I will copy those settings in game mode, and I will try to get close to this pop looking image in game mode. Your picture settings looks very well in my European Pal samsung q90r 65 too
Hi, have you ever had any of your TV's calibrated professionally? I have bought te LG B9 recently and the settings out of the box aren't great. I've used the LG B( settings you made a video about - but they are a little bright for my liking.
Great settings! Applied it to my Q90R as well except I kept contrast enhancer to high instead of low. Just didn’t seem bright enough. Really made a difference and made the colors pop
Great Video!! I just bought the 75" Samsung QN90A and was playing around with settings for hours. I found your video and Natural looks so much better. I also tweaked my settings close to what you have.
@@alilmamba no I honestly dont see slow speeds. Like Im not a professional competitive gamer playing in tournaments and stuff like that. Those people that care about LAG so much need to use a computer monitor for their screen. Not a TV :)
@@deceptionz187 It's pretty bad without game mode on. The TV looks like it's skipping frames pretty often. My lady can even see it when she's playing on the Switch when game mode turns off after lifting the Switch out sometimes.
Thanks Paul. I thought I had my QLED dialed in pretty well until I saw your video. Picture was great before but I would now describe it as stunning. Used your settings as a guideline and had to make some minor adjustments outside of your parameters to suit my room and taste but it really made a difference.Thanks again Paul.
Thanks to this great Contribution, he made the Decision to buy a Qled or an Oled for me! Now I bought a Qled. :-) Thank you so much for this great post !!! Many greetings, Matthias from Germany !!! :-)
You can adjust the settings all day to replicate OLED look on a particular scene, but doing that u can crush the shadow details The thing is hardware limitations can never be entirely overcome by software. It might give u a pleasing OLED look on one scene but might ruin other scenes
Very true. I tried to use the same philosophy on my old Hitachi LED as well as my Samsung gaming monitor and the results were as you described. However, applying The Tech Giant's settings on my Q6DR (Q60R) resulted in no loss of detail in the backs at all, simply improved their inkiness. It all depends on the quality of the panel and what brains are driving it.
@@aridgp1 Are you saying that I need an OLED next to my QLED for my eyes to tell me that the blacks are crushed on the latter? After calibration all I have to do is pause any dark scene and adjust the brightness/contrast up to see how much detail is present and compare that to what I see with my settings. I am not saying in any way that QLEDs can match OLEDs blackest blacks, but to say that QLEDs lose detail when you adjust them down to their blackest potential is absurd!
@@MrKeech666 well how will you know whether your blacks are crushed or not if you have nothing to compare to ? Satisfaction is one thing, it's great you are satisfied and all should be with their respective televisions .. I just wanted to state the fact that hardware limitations cannot be overcome with software settings
Absolutely what I was thinking.. He might achieve the OLED black levels but also added terrible black crush which lose the shadow details.. bad settings
That was truly impressive. I heard someone mention how an expert picture setting will do wonders for the final images. I'm getting a Q80T in a few weeks and I will certainly give those settings a try. 👍🏾
This is quite possibly the best youtube video I have ever seen! Applied the settings to my new 65" Q80T TV (just a few minor differences to your Q90R) and the picture is stunning. Thanks Paul!
@@Martin-pm3rr There is no Backlight setting on this model. Where Paul had Backlight set to 40 and brightness to -2, I have set Brightness to 40, and Shadow Detail to -2
After some mistakes in the settings i made i couldn't fix it to a good game experience......with this video it really improved! Even better than what I played before.....Thnx
I copied your settings for my Q60R (contrast at 48) and think it looks amazing! Thanks for the tip! YOU GOT A NEW SUB! 🤟😎 TIP for OLED like Game Mode: If you play in HDR and are having troubles achieving an inky black, especially with Cyberpunk 2077, do the following - Turn off Intelligent mode, lower the brightness and contrast (-2, 48), Contrast Enhancer to Low, and make sure in the Game Mode Settings that Black Enhancer is *off*. On PC you can't adjust colour, tint, and of course Contrast Enhancer has been replaced by Gamma. That's ok, just make sure you select BT and not 2.2 Standard and keep it at 0. Keep Colour Tone to Standard but this is a personal preference as I find, especially with PC, the colour is already accurate (because Windows/Mac automatically treats the QLED as a PC monitor uses it's built in calibrated/native colour profile). Oh, and for Windows users, in the AMD/NVIDIA control panel make sure the output is set to 4:4:4 PC standard and that 10-Bit is enabled, otherwise you will get nasty colour banding and dithering.
Yah also just make sure to also adjust the brightness down to almost nothing on the Samsung while watching hockey to match that brightness limiter of OLED as well.
R J who dafuq watches hockey? 🤣 the OLED’s are too bright even now while I have the brightness on 50 it’s lighting up the whole room, only thing I dislike about the tv since I prefer a dark setting like in a cinema
Hmm. The fact that you can almost make your qled look loike oled and even maybe actually fool some people, is amazing! I wonder How well this will work with the 2021 qleds
You will need to be in game mode for the input lag so those setting will be different. Hopefully will drop one for that. I have an oled gx and its amazing
I couldn’t find a setting that was quite right on my 55” Q80T... until I saw your video. With the Samsung’s inherent brightness, these settings make the q80t function just as well as the OLEDs for a much better price. Thanks so much!
@@apothecy4011 The new 2020 q80 combined brightness and backlight into 1 setting. I just watched a bunch of movies on netflix and played with it until I was comforatble. on my 2019 q70 (wich is supposed to be the comparable to this years q80) i had the brightness at -1
For most neutral colour reproduction, a movie scene is the ideal picture to test on as you are looking to match the producer camera settings.The OLED set to movie will be the closest you can get to D65 white balance . So for the QLED to look natural on all content and as close as to the OLED full potential repeat the test with Movie mode on. Natural mode is not bad at all but it normally exhibit too much red or Blue and that would be far off from Movie near accurate colours without being calibrated professionally. I hope this helps
Got a q80t today and used these settings and the picture looks amazing. I tried to tweak it a little but couldn't get anything I liked better. Thank you for this video
One thing I didn’t mention in my previous comment Paul was that I have a Q80t and these setting are almost spot on for it. Some minor adjustments but they are a game changer for PQ.
Tried the settings on my Q85R and can attest to the great picture. Had a LG B7 in the past but passed onto the parents due to image retention issues (square box in the centre, most likely from Xbox dashboard). I go QLED for this reason and I am soured on OLED. But OLED had great inky blacks and with this setup, QLED has the advantage of more popping of colour and brightness. Tried Fifa 21, Last of Us 2 and Forza 7 and they look tremendous. For me I found that Standard was the best starting point but natural is great also
You are the MAN, thank you so much btw if you are gaming on q800t there is a workaround for inverse ghosting. Just set the xbox to 1440p and 120hz and uncheck "allow 4k" then use game mode+ this should get rid of inverse ghosting until we get next gen consoles with hdmi 2.1 signals
I'm about to order a Q80T, and I will abandon a 2017 OLED which, apart from the colors at the beginning, disappointed me a lot because I had a lot of burn-in problems right away and also faded colors. So I'll have to set up my new TV to get to OLED-like settings. This video will help me, thank you!
Many thanks for the settings you suggest. The result was beyond enjoyable. I do think I will stay with what I previously inputted, but what fun!! Keep up the wonderful service you offer. Keep it coming. 👊🏻
@@smokesgtp You dont know what your talking about i have a both a QLED Q90R and an LG CX the Q90r has 99% comparable black levels, if i had to lose one TV it would be the OLED as the QLED has comparable black levels and there is no risk of burn-in so you don't have to manage what you watch, furthermore HDR looks better on the Qled as its specular highlights are far more impressive and pop so much better as the Qled which can hit up to 1700 nits which is far more impressive in HDR content than the 750 nits of the OLED.
@@Lawson7086 the contrast isn't even close. Side by side the OLED blows it out of the water. Grey uniformity is much better on the OLED also. If you need more brightness than the LG provides you must be watching TV outside, in which case, there are LED TVs made just for that. Motion handling, lack of blooming, input lag, screen response time, the OLED is just better tech. Geek Squad warranty covers burn in for 5 years. Well worth $350.
@@Lawson7086 Look at the checkerboard contrast test on rtings. The Samsung looks like somebody took a piss in the white squares LOL and the black squares are a shade of grey.
Hey man I just bought the Q90t after going back and forth between that and the LG CX. Great video. Really appreciate it. Going to follow along with those settings.
Great work Paul. Check my settings for game mode: SDR Backlight: 42 brightness: - 2 contrast 49 sharpness: 8 g/r 0 color temp: standard contr ench: hight local dimm: hight gamma bt. 1886 - 2 native color.

My frame qled looks amazing with a lil ambient lighting shining on it but different strokes different folks but I also like a high gloss screen vs a matte finish I’ve always adjusted all My Samsung Tv’s from the Natural setting and personally I Love watching cartoons on my set Rick and Morty Young Justice anything DC Marvel Disney Animated to me that’s where that qled shines
@@shivabharadwaj3275 use a white bias light. But the xergy brand and use these video settings as well as set the shadow detail to zero. I have the frame 2020 and blacks were grey before but very deep now.
Thank you so much Paul. I apreciate it the job of moving thhis heavy tv, bringinb back, and the time you spend adjusting picture settings and showing us. 1000 thanks.
The -2 brightness won't work on the Q95. I have it on +50. The rest of your settings are almost the same basic default settings from the factory, for the Q95. Thanks for the video!
I’ve tried your picture settings and it looks great. Is there any way you could do a video on the QLED Q70R? Instead of game mode, Can you do it on regular viewing?
a very good job; and i concur; instead of movie mode; the picture looks more rich in the natural mode; so i agree with you on the settings; i have a 2018 Q8; and it was killing me how when watching the apple tv box and using the NBA app why my screen looked so white out; until i followed your guidelines...and now the games and arena and background looks more rich....and as you say; you might have to make a few tweeks for different apps and hdmi settings; but nothing beats a washed out picture....
Tried this on my 7 series 55" 4K 2070 Model at £450 and its brilliant ! you should try the cheap model and show it of im well impressed with it , Thanks for these settings
Just applied these settings to my 6 month old q85r. Til now I've always used and prefered standard mode with standard colour tone so the difference now is somewhat jarring to my eyes. Time will tell if I like the change but for now thanks for the tips. 👍
Wavy Kay I wanted the Q90 series but nobody had one in stock, currys couldn’t get one but after going through the specs of this tv, and getting £200 off seemed a good deal 👍
The Tech Giant I’m sure if you apply the same settings to it ( like in this video) then it’ll be the same as oled. I was considering an oled for the brilliant picture quality but I was really worried about screen burn and the fact the manufacturer won’t do anything about it if it did. This tv has a 10 year anti ‘screen burn’ warranty. I know qled doesn’t get screen burn 👍. I know that flat panel TVs don’t have amazing sound so I’ve connected from the one box optical out to a dac, then I’ve ran a phono cable to my right phono input to my b&w subwoofer. Fantastic bass now while watching regular tv 👏👍. Obviously the subwoofer is connected to my av receiver ( left input) too 😉. Can’t wait to see your video on this tv ‘the frame’. You can keep it on all day as a picture if you want. Just press quickly the power button. The two gripes I have with it so far are,,,,, it’s sometimes quite laggy through the input choices, I’ll try to scroll to say TH-cam, it’ll not scroll then all of a sudden it scrolls, the other is at the top right of screen, I’ll quite often get pop up menus like connect to smart device or Ethernet issues 🤷♂️. Otherwise it’s a fantastic picture 👍
Here's a direction at yours, but actually using the Movie setting instead of Natural. This is after hours of tweaking I've been doing through various calibration suggestions and personal tweaking. Feel free to try it... You can set this in Movie, and the Natural done from this will stay how you have it, so you won't lose what you have from this. And you do need to go through the whole thing to see it does get rid of the "darkness" look Movie first has initially. This was done on a 65" Samsung QLED Q70R. Picture Mode: Movie Backlight: 35 ( you can use 40 if you wish) Brightness: - 2 Contrast: 50 Sharpness: 5 Color: 28 (if you like a tad more saturation, use 28) Tint: 0 Digital Clean View: Off Auto Motion Plus Settings: Off Local Dimming: High Contrast Enhancer: Off (if you change, no higher than Low, but to me, details in darks seen better on Off) Film Mode: Off Color Tone: Standard (this gives brighter whites, if you want them a bit more toned down, choose Warm 1... Plan to try to find a blend between these two with the White Balance eventually) White Balance: 2 Point R-Gain: -2 G-Gain: -4 B-Gain: -13 R- Offset: 0 G-Offset: -3 B-Offset: 3 20 Point Only adjusted the 3 below, rest are 0, 0, 0 5%:. 50, 50, 50 (aiming to get the darkest of blacks as black as possible... Not sure how much this changes) 40%: R 0, G -6, B 0 45%: R 0, G -2, B 0 Gamma: BT.1886 BT.1886: 1 RGB Only Mode: Off Color Space Settings: Custom Red:. 68, 60, 50 Green: 35, 50, 61 Blue: 50, 50, 50 Yellow: 50, 50, 60 Cyan:. 34, 50, 50 Magenta: 59, 49, 56 General: Intelligent Mode Settings: Off External Device Manager: Input Signal Plus:. All that can, have selected HDMI Black Level: Auto (should match Low...if not, select Low) Eco Solution:. Turn off all under this If you want Dark Mode look in the menu: Accessibility > High Contrast: Turn on Let me know your thoughts for anyone that tries these settings.
Ok, even tested moving the backlight up... Results....past 35, you can darken darks more, but whites get even brighter (more painful to the eyes, especially in dark rooms) and more crushed. 35-40 IMO is the best blend without crushing either side too far...35-37 being the best before blacks get a heavier crush and you lose detail in dark film settings.
@@lewisevander adjusting white balance doesn't beyond the first few, just make sure the lowest level (5%) is as low as it goes. White balance is more to make each level of white a pure white, instead of them taking on red-ish or green-ish hues of white. The better setting to adjust is the brightness setting (backlight on newer models past 2019...on new models, they changed the backlight and the brightness names). Bring that down, and it darkens the blacks. I recommend -2 (I accidentally typed 2 originally, should have been negative). Below that, and you begin to lose fine details in shadows.
Thank you so much for your efforts. You helped a lot. We bought a Q70t and a black one in a white fog. Since there is no local dimming on TV, I set the contrast improvement to high. Please tell me is this setting universal for all games? Because Ratchet and Clank, the image appears dark. With love from Russia.
I have QLED Q85T and I just use game mode which gives a great picture and best frame rates etc, no need to play in standard or whatever as you get horrible stutter and lag
To go even further with this... Did you change the Gamma at all? Because I found that changing the Gamma to 1.8 on my LCD TV gave a similar "pop" of contrast that OLED delivers after dropping the brightness.
@@lewisevander I have a 43 inch TCL. The S425 model, to be exact. After further tweaking, I found that the perfect settings to match OLED black levels were with 2.4 Gamma and Brightness set to 49. I kept the Contrast at 100 to push the brightest image possible.
@@officialcreatordestroy thanks I have a Samsung frame TV but gamma option is greyed out in natural mode. Will try it on the movie mode. The problem is it's not always possible to change the gamma as it gets greyed on in certain content like hdr.
Great Video, went for this TV as it was £580 cheaper than the CX, would have preferred the OLED but not worth that much extra. will try out these setting latter
Brightness at -2 honestly make a difference 😍
I replicated these settings on my 65Q90T. Looks really decent. Note - they've changed the labels on the 90T. Backlight in the video is called Brightness on my TV. I set Brightness in the 90T to 40. Brightness in the video is called Shadow Detail on my TV. I set this to minus 2.

Motion handling, lack of blooming, input lag, screen response time, the OLED is just better tech.
Geek Squad warranty covers burn in for 5 years. Well worth $350.
@@Lawson7086 Look at the checkerboard contrast test on rtings. The Samsung looks like somebody took a piss in the white squares LOL and the black squares are a shade of grey.
This video was great. Ive just bought a QLed tv and had no idea you could make it look like an Oled!
Glad I could help!
mine was set already out of the box so didn't need to mes around to do something
Hey man I just bought the Q90t after going back and forth between that and the LG CX. Great video. Really appreciate it. Going to follow along with those settings.
I have the 80t and will try these settings. I appreciate it
I just got the q80t have you tried them whats your thoughts on the tv does your sky q look good if you have sky
I cant get brightness down to -2 on my q80t. Any tips on settings guys?

Thanks for posting your settings mate 🙂
My frame qled looks amazing with a lil ambient lighting shining on it but different strokes different folks but I also like a high gloss screen vs a matte finish I’ve always adjusted all My Samsung Tv’s from the Natural setting and personally I Love watching cartoons on my set Rick and Morty Young Justice anything DC Marvel Disney Animated to me that’s where that qled shines
i also have the frame but when room is dark blacks are appearing as grey any solution fr that.
@@shivabharadwaj3275 use a white bias light. But the xergy brand and use these video settings as well as set the shadow detail to zero. I have the frame 2020 and blacks were grey before but very deep now.
Thank you so much Paul. I apreciate it the job of moving thhis heavy tv, bringinb back, and the time you spend adjusting picture settings and showing us. 1000 thanks.
Many thanks for the appreciation 👍
The -2 brightness won't work on the Q95. I have it on +50. The rest of your settings are almost the same basic default settings from the factory, for the Q95. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this interesting video. IO've just bought a 65Q80B. I wonder if this video works also for my TV?
That OLED looks pretty good considering the brightness of the room
You are a respectable man. Thanks for the videos, BIG RESPECT from Saudi Arabia.
Thanks for your support 👍
I’ve tried your picture settings and it looks great. Is there any way you could do a video on the QLED Q70R? Instead of game mode, Can you do it on regular viewing?
a very good job; and i concur; instead of movie mode; the picture looks more rich in the natural mode; so i agree with you on the settings; i have a 2018 Q8; and it was killing me how when watching the apple tv box and using the NBA app why my screen looked so white out; until i followed your guidelines...and now the games and arena and background looks more rich....and as you say; you might have to make a few tweeks for different apps and hdmi settings; but nothing beats a washed out picture....
The alien/hell squid poster on the displays were far clearer on the qled once your settings were in place, definitely testing this out.
Great Video Paul! Thanks for your settings!
How about in motion ? Will they be the same
Can you do it for q80t, as it doesnt have Backlight Settings anymore ? Thnx
Superb. I always wanted to have Qled samsung. Now I can replicate Qled like oled
👍
Thank you Paul ive put these settings on my q80r the only thing I did differently was left the colour tone on standard 👍
Same here and digital clear view off
Tech Giant always makes fun videos !! I cant wait for the New tvs to be reviewed 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tried this on my 7 series 55" 4K 2070 Model at £450 and its brilliant ! you should try the cheap model and show it of im well impressed with it , Thanks for these settings
No problem mate 🙂
Natural mode looks great!
I have the q80r and theres this settings called gamma, which does alot to the picture
Just applied these settings to my 6 month old q85r. Til now I've always used and prefered standard mode with standard colour tone so the difference now is somewhat jarring to my eyes. Time will tell if I like the change but for now thanks for the tips. 👍
Happy to help
That's a great representation of what QLED can do. I'll stick to the CX. but nicely done for Qled owners looking for a richer experience!
ordered samsung q85t I think I need to apply this setting asap
Just bought a Q90 so will be doing this when it turns up 👍👍
Can you believe that even with all this valuable help youve given me Paul im still on tne fence between oled and qled for my gaming needs.
That's the pitfalls of having too much choice 😄
@@TheTechGiantTH-cam It is m8!!
Thank you for this just picked up the Samsung qled and this was extremely helpful as has been much of your other content.
Happy to help 🙂
i have hope u can do it this same with sony xh90 please ✌️
Best tv reviewer on youtube
Thanks for saying 🙂
Brilliant, I will try them on my Q70 and hope it is the same. Can you not set them with Game Mode ON?
So your saying that I didn’t have to spend an extra £500 for an Oled. I is sad now I could have bought a soundbar🥺
It is really wirth it oled are really nice
I have a qled and a mate of mine an oled. I enjoy the qled but oled is better
Truee
I have the Q8FN and I agree with you. I have my settings different than yours but it defenetly has to be on Normal.
Can you do another calibration video for newer qled TV,, T models 2020 and A models 2021
I’ll have a go at these settings on my new 2020 65” Samsung ‘the frame’ 👍. Love your videos 😉
What made you go with the frame model?
Nice TV,I will be testing one out in a few weeks time 🙂
Wavy Kay I wanted the Q90 series but nobody had one in stock, currys couldn’t get one but after going through the specs of this tv, and getting £200 off seemed a good deal 👍
The Tech Giant I’m sure if you apply the same settings to it ( like in this video) then it’ll be the same as oled. I was considering an oled for the brilliant picture quality but I was really worried about screen burn and the fact the manufacturer won’t do anything about it if it did. This tv has a 10 year anti ‘screen burn’ warranty. I know qled doesn’t get screen burn 👍. I know that flat panel TVs don’t have amazing sound so I’ve connected from the one box optical out to a dac, then I’ve ran a phono cable to my right phono input to my b&w subwoofer. Fantastic bass now while watching regular tv 👏👍. Obviously the subwoofer is connected to my av receiver ( left input) too 😉. Can’t wait to see your video on this tv ‘the frame’. You can keep it on all day as a picture if you want. Just press quickly the power button. The two gripes I have with it so far are,,,,, it’s sometimes quite laggy through the input choices, I’ll try to scroll to say TH-cam, it’ll not scroll then all of a sudden it scrolls, the other is at the top right of screen, I’ll quite often get pop up menus like connect to smart device or Ethernet issues 🤷♂️. Otherwise it’s a fantastic picture 👍
That just made my Q70t look 10times better👌🏻 thx
No problem 🙂
Thanks for the quick & easy guide! Worked on my Q70 as well. Gained a subscriber!
No problem mate,and thanks very much for the sub!
This video has put a spanner in the works I was going to go for a oled tv, now I’m back to square one 🤣🤣🤣
I almost had it but tweeking to your settings is WOW although I kept contrast on high. Thank you 😁
Happy to help mate
Can’t wait for more tv unboxing and reviews.
Pretty good result Paul; thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
Here's a direction at yours, but actually using the Movie setting instead of Natural. This is after hours of tweaking I've been doing through various calibration suggestions and personal tweaking. Feel free to try it... You can set this in Movie, and the Natural done from this will stay how you have it, so you won't lose what you have from this. And you do need to go through the whole thing to see it does get rid of the "darkness" look Movie first has initially. This was done on a 65" Samsung QLED Q70R.

Auto Motion Plus Settings: Off
Local Dimming: High
Contrast Enhancer: Off (if you change, no higher than Low, but to me, details in darks seen better on Off)

Let me know your thoughts for anyone that tries these settings.
Ok, even tested moving the backlight up... Results....past 35, you can darken darks more, but whites get even brighter (more painful to the eyes, especially in dark rooms) and more crushed. 35-40 IMO is the best blend without crushing either side too far...35-37 being the best before blacks get a heavier crush and you lose detail in dark film settings.
Do your settings make the Qled look like an Oled?
Can you please explain how adjusting the white balance will make the black deeper? I want to deepen the blacks as much as possible.
@@lewisevander adjusting white balance doesn't beyond the first few, just make sure the lowest level (5%) is as low as it goes. White balance is more to make each level of white a pure white, instead of them taking on red-ish or green-ish hues of white.
The better setting to adjust is the brightness setting (backlight on newer models past 2019...on new models, they changed the backlight and the brightness names). Bring that down, and it darkens the blacks. I recommend -2 (I accidentally typed 2 originally, should have been negative). Below that, and you begin to lose fine details in shadows.
@@kimahlbom yes... very similar. Though I accidentally had 2 on brightness typed in here... should have been -2.
Im going to try these settings on my Q90T 85".
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Subscribed and liked! God bless.
Merry xmassssss!
Thank you very much for the sub,and Merry Christmas to you too 🙂
I don't have these options on my qn94a
What a great cheat code from The Tech Giant!
Thank you so much for your efforts. You helped a lot. We bought a Q70t and a black one in a white fog. Since there is no local dimming on TV, I set the contrast improvement to high. Please tell me is this setting universal for all games? Because Ratchet and Clank, the image appears dark. With love from Russia.
Thanks for the settings mate. Been waiting patiently for these.
My pleasure 🙂
Just found your channel about a week ago. Love the channel and these settings work awesome on my q70r.
This was very interesting. Can you make a LG Nanocell look like a LG CX Oled as well?
dam thats close, i've been going crazy deciding between qled and oled, thanks for this!
No problem mate 🙂
Fair play Paul short and straight to the point.
Just got the saucy 65 inch Q70t son! Better picture then that Q80t you demo for us, its hot 🔥
No it isn’t, q80t way better
"yeah those settings do look really close" - Me watching the video on 144p
😂 😂 😂
And 8bit color 😂
Same Settings on my q85r and it looks great, THX for that.
Tem esse modelo no Brasil?
I have QLED Q85T and I just use game mode which gives a great picture and best frame rates etc, no need to play in standard or whatever as you get horrible stutter and lag
OMG !!! Looks very good , amazing 🤩
Can you do an updated video like this one? Oled settings for sony lcd?
Does this also apply to the new Q70A??
I like the settings! 👍👍
Thank you
@@TheTechGiantTH-cam can you do an updated video on how to do this on a q80t?
Nice vidéo bro!! Actually I have a qled I will try these settings to give a different look to my tv!
Hi Tech Giant , good setting please again.. compare with hdmi black level to low vs auto mode and game mode
To go even further with this...
Did you change the Gamma at all?
Because I found that changing the Gamma to 1.8 on my LCD TV gave a similar "pop" of contrast that OLED delivers after dropping the brightness.
Which TV do you have and the gamma settings on my TV is greyed out sometimes.
@@lewisevander
I have a 43 inch TCL. The S425 model, to be exact.
After further tweaking, I found that the perfect settings to match OLED black levels were with 2.4 Gamma and Brightness set to 49.
I kept the Contrast at 100 to push the brightest image possible.
@@officialcreatordestroy thanks I have a Samsung frame TV but gamma option is greyed out in natural mode. Will try it on the movie mode. The problem is it's not always possible to change the gamma as it gets greyed on in certain content like hdr.
Thanks for that will tinker with mine
Looks good I must say 👌
I usually try to match my display(both PC and TV) settings with my iPad Pro. I love slightly warmerish settings like an iPad display.
I'm an iPad Pro owner myself 👍🙂
Great Video, went for this TV as it was £580 cheaper than the CX, would have preferred the OLED but not worth that much extra. will try out these setting latter
Wonder if this will work on my TCL R625? I’ll tinker with the settings. As always quality videos!
I changed the LG badge on my TV to a SAMSUNG badge. It looks the bomb.
I done the same with my Mrs,she looks much better for it
