I absolutely love this video. So many settings recommendations out there are about “preserving accuracy” by doing things like turning down the colour temp down to the piss looking warm 50 setting. Those people have too much regard for accuracy and not for what actually looks good. I love this video because it shows that gaming is about showing colours that pop and make the experience more enjoyable. Well done, friend! Going to try some of these tips on my G3.
Games don't output any hdr metadata, that's why different mastering peak luminance settings don't do anything. With dtm:off the 4000 nits setting could affect the brightness, because lg oled tvs assume a peak brightness of 4000 nits without any metadata sent.
I had the same menu lagging on my g4 when connected to the pc,I disabled the 4:4:4 pass through setting in hdmi settings inside external settings in general,then changed the input type to game console from pc and also renamed the input to my name and the menu became faster,so to summarise:1.disable 4:4:4 pass through,2.change input type to console or something else other than pc,3.rename the input to anything other than PC
Thank you for making this video! super helpful! Would you say that HDR is better than Dolby Vision? I feel like DV makes it too dark. But when you switched to Dolby Vision, did you first go into the XSX settings - general video modes - check 'allow Dolby vision' and 'Dolby vision for gaming' then adjust the settings on the TV?
I have a 65” LG G4 and the menu does have a bit of a delay when initially opening it as well. Hopefully they can update & optimize it later on considering it’s the Alpha-11 processor. Also, you may want to turn on AMD Freesync as the PS5 & Series X both use AMD Radeon RDNA 2 graphics processors.
Hi. Thanks for the great review. I also noticed that the menu is slow on my c4, but as soon as I switched the 120 fps mode to 60 fps, everything became normal. Apparently, the processor has a hard time processing the image in high fps and dynamically displaying the menu.
Wow, thank you for this comment, for this solution. I'm gonna try this. I just ordered my 77 inch and I really dont wamt to be disappointed by any sort of delay from an OLED that has 1ms response time for gaming!
I want to know according to you..which model of Sony bravia 4k tv would be best for 4k game playing in 2024 ...please reply..& Also review on bravia 9. With game test
If it wasn't for the "Brightness" option under Expression Enhancer, I'd honestly return this TV. It seems more dim than my C1 without the Expression Enhancer. The 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, instant response time, and great upscaling due to the newer processor, are what make it worth it. LG are apparently afraid to make bright OLED TVs. People are better off getting the Samsung S90D, or even the S95D, if money isn't a worry.
Launch a game that’s supports 120hz and turn it on. then go back to video settings and see if u see 4k 120hz, if u still don’t see it go to saved data/game settings and put your preferred mode from resolution mode to performance mode and see if that works.
Hello friend, few days ago I bought LG C4 55 inch. I'm interested in the AI picture pro option, does it really affect the image quality in any way?Or is it just LG's marketing ploy? I mean in gaming HDR mode.
@JoelsterG4k Hi Friend....You done a great job with those reviews, so i wanted to ask you a question... Because you try something like Samsung QN90B and of course here LG C4, i know that is different technology, but what you prefer more for PC monitor, for work and gaming? Does QNed/QLed can do a good job with gaming/gosting/fast responsein games like Oled, or is it definitely better to go for the Oled option with the fear of overburning over time? Thank you so much! 🍀
Does the C4 prevent burn in better than previous models? Also does 144hz mode active help games? When you go into Input settings you can choose Gaming or PC mode. I have read it actually helps further.
Waiting for the Philips 909! Best TV for sure once released. The Philips 908 is a miles better buy than the lg ones, 2000 nits brightness and a built in Atmos sound bar from bowers and Wilkins. ....... really don't see why people keep buying lg
2000 nits is a bold claim. There is no way they have achieved that. LG OLED panels are miles ahead of Philips. I have returned Philips ambi light bs TV. Soundbars are shit, for a bit more money you can buy proper big speakers with DAC and amp.
The problem i have with HGIG is that it makes the games look dim/dark instead of crisp and light that still have that great blacks, anything one can do to make the picture more bright/light and crisp with HGIG? anything I am doing wrong? P.S I have a G4 65 Thanks for the video 👍🏼
Please Help Me: I just installed this exact TV and only actions I’ve done so far is plug HDMI from new Mini Mac Pro and paired my HK speakers via BT and also plugged in the 3.5 jack as backup. I get some LG prompts asking for a code so it will default to I put it something but I can’t find any code waiting on screen or on any device and I’m stuck on this screen. Far as sound, i am hearing a random tick from the speakers when things are not making sound like a paused video or just on Home Screen as if someone is tinking with a cable. Should I remove the 3.5 jack and rely on BT for my HK sound sticks or use the 3.5 and not BT for the best audio experience possible? Do I need to shut off the TV speakers maybe as that might conflict or will that help with more stereo like sound?
On c4 i think while watching dolby content movies they have removed dolby vision cinema mode and kept dolby vision cinema home the brighter mode Is there anything like dolby vision dark Currently using dolby vision film maker mode

Man I'm using the C1 and I'm still not sure what settings to use I'm using the HDTVtest settings which are the accurate settings but at the same time I want my settings to pop and look more beautiful than accurate but if I want that I have to use the dynamic tone mapping on which is waay to bright for my eyes to handle.
Yes I like vibrant colors for gaming and balanced natural colors for movies, it depends on the game if I use DTM or HGiG, for example I use DTM when playing Warzone.
Yes. HGIG is basically turning DTM off. To properly calibrate your HDR, switch to HGIG and then adjust the console HDR settings. Some games look better with HGIG and some need DTM on for a boost. Example: RDR2 with HGIG on requires in-game brightness adjustments to compensate for the darker image.
I had the same menu lagging on my g4 when connected to the pc,I disabled the 4:4:4 pass through setting in hdmi settings inside external settings in general,then changed the input type to game console from pc and also renamed the input to my name and the menu became faster,so to summarise:1.disable 4:4:4 pass through,2.change input type to console or something else other than pc,3.rename the input to anything other than PC
@@JoelsterG4k Support is irrelevant....there is no HDR standard to begin with. It looks worse than properly adjusted SDR in everything, stop spreading BS false info for people buying products.
Buy it and enjoy it. OLED screens are much better than they used to be as far as burn in goes. Plus LG has some things built in that you can run to help prevent that from happening.

@@JoelsterG4khow big is the difference c3 versus c4?
@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 I never got a chance to review the C3, but i don't see any difference from the C1, they look the same.
my C1 got severely burned in or I would have kept it as my main. Went with a 55 inch C4 now.
The C4 looks great. The pixel density at this size really does make a difference in clarity/sharpness.

With dtm:off the 4000 nits setting could affect the brightness, because lg oled tvs assume a peak brightness of 4000 nits without any metadata sent.
