Thank you very much for the settings :) we have the 65'' and 55'' C1 and love them immensely, these settings are easy to follow and bring the best out of the set.

Thanks for posting this. Used these settings day one on my C1 and havent changed them since! I highly recommend them for anyone looking for excellent settings on their C1.

The info about Cinema Home using light sensor and how to disable True Motion is gold. Now I prefer it to Cinema mode. Thanks a ton! This isn't mentioned elsewhere!

for those who are short on time the TLDR version: turn everything OFF in picture settings apart from Cinema Screen. But I have to agree with the creator of this video, i ended with the same settings in the first 2 hours after my new OLED arrived (and that was before i saw this video). Thanks AVForums for confirmation bias :)

Thank you for the settings. You’re the one who best went through them for me. This tv looks amazing. Just got it delivered this morning. Getting used to it since all my other sets are Samsung.

Thanks a lot for sharing this settings. Easy to Set an the picture is so awesome! Love my C1 so much. Last TV was an Samsung q9fn. And the difference is so big wow.

Thank you Phil. Got my C1back in December 21 and should have left a comment then. This is the best, most straightforward, informative, clear and sensible tutorial on LG C1 settings. Always backed up with some evidence if needed. Straight to the point with everything, great. Thanks again Phil.

Just picked my C1 up today, and just finished setting it, used these settings, I noticed a big difference. Tomorrow I shall be setting it up for gaming through my Series X

My 55" C1 will be delivered Saturday, the 27th of November. I can't wait to get it set up! It will be replacing a 9 year old VIZIO E60 E3.

Thank you for this video!! This was one of the most straight forward and easy to follow videos I’ve watched.

Just purchased the 77" C1, first OLED tv I will own, currently have a Vizio M series tv from circa 2014 when led 1080P was the big fuzz, has a whopping 36 active led zones you know?, it's been our family tv through two homes, several military deployments and the entirety of my youngest child lifespan but is now starting to push daisies, guess I got my moneys worth and I finally upgraded to something hopefully more "future proof", can't wait to plug this in and be amazed with the difference for years to come.

Just got my c1 and it's terrific.

Just got mine today and it's so beautiful

Nice illustrated all the settings helped a lot thankssss brooo

many many thanks for a truly great informative and easy to follow video on how to set up the tv

Great video, thanks I applied all your settings, just picked up the c1 at a reduced, 😎

Thank you so much for the information it makes a huge difference really appreciate bless you. Definitely subscribed

Thanks mate just got my 5tinc love the game setup on this amazing

What a great and professional video on this subject. Thanks a lot.

Thanks! Settings worked nicely on my LG C1 (55) - 09/2021 model. The way you explained it made more sense than any other videos I watched. The only thing I changed was turning on Cinematic Movement to stop the judder on shots that pan. That setting really helped stop the judder and align the FPS correctly with the film.

Great video big man. Another section for you to add for next years review would be football preset changes. This is always overlooked.

Thanks for posting.

Legends thank you 👌🏼

Great Vid. Thank you.

Just brilliant, you just upgraded my tv thank you - One question, how can I change the screensaver to more thank 2 minutes. Stuck on analogue clock or fireworks.

thanks for this :) easy to follow. top job

thank you ! very usefull

Hello. Thank you very much for this video, it helps a lot. I just got my OLED 48C1 TV set and I have a kind of basic question, you menition the brightness calibration of 25 for dark rooms and higher for lighter rooms, it turns out my room can be very light during day ours and of course, dark at evening, does this mean I'll have to go and adjust this setting every day according to the ours of the day? Should I adjust the settings of isf expert mode to chose between dark and light room? Thank you very much. Filipe

Very clear and concise...thanks a lot. Wish you do the game optimiser settings for consoles.

Really helpful video. So many others jump around. Your video is logically laid out and easy to follow. One question ., In SDR you say Black Level should be 'OFF' but the screen shows :'Auto'...Which is correct?

Just order this in 65”. Can’t wait!

Thank you!

Great video thank you. One question my dolby vision settings are on Netflix But a can't change aspect ratio did I miss something grayed out

Super helpful! Just got a C1 and have been blown away from the picture quality from it after tweaking these settings. This may be just me, but my panel seems to have an ever so slight “greenish” tint to the highlights/whites. Is that normal for OLEDs?

Nicely Done. Have you heard anything about 2022 LG Oleds fixing any glaring problems ? Thanks

Brilliant video. Thanks so much. I am a gamer and am looking for the best possible settings for my consoles, can you advise me on this please?

Thanks !

@AVForums what are your thoughts on LG changing the oled picture brightness on the newer firmware to 80 in Filmmaker Mode?

Hello, Thanks for all these details. I have a question please, If i use PS5 to watch Netflix and Bluray on it, how should i set the parameters ?

It's like buying a new car and the manufacturer says it comes with square wheels, make them round yourself

Just perfect!!

Where do you get that image of the mountains to set OLED brightness? Much appreciated the video 👍

Which mode should we use for watching sports?

Been trying to get this adjusted for a while because sports are blurry. Find this video. “Turn off all settings that come with your TV”. Image is now dull in potato quality..... awesome.

What brightness settings do you have for a bright (white walls) room, SDR mode? Curious about OLED pixel brightness? Gamma set to 2.2?

Phil, as usual another home run! My question is, I will be taking delivery of a LG C2, 55 inch later this month and should I use the setting from this video or the settings from your G1 video? Happy Viewing

Thanks for the settings. I did play around reduce blue light settings i did turn this feature on and the picture appears better and more natural but it all depends on what you are watching. When watching a nhl hockey game it was too cool for my taste so i had to reduce it but watching basketball i left it off. As for movies it all depends as well so ive been playing around with it.

Show ... congratulations!

May I please ask what is that pink area on the right of the panel that can be seen when white clouds cover the panel? I have something similar on mine? Is it normal?

Good Video! Do you have an idea why I do not have the energy saving point at my settings? I only have a few points here - you habe many more in your video. I have an OLED83C17LB… thanks!

Thanks for this tutorial. I will definitely tune my TV tomorrow when I feel better..

DV settings were useful!!!

Thank you for a very informative setup, although curious to know if you ever switched the blue light function off as this seems quite controversial topic. Many thanks 👍

Hello. Thank you so much for this video. It has been very helpful and easy to follow. The explanation of the settings has also proven very educational. I do have a bit of an issue and hope that you or others here can provide some guidance. While I have successfully completed the SDR and HDR recommendations, I cannot get the Dolby Vision option to show under PICTURE SETTINGS on my new C1 (purchased April 2022) when playing Dolby Vision content. It is always Film Maker mode with only the non- Dolby Vision HDR options available. I am playing Dolby Vision content via Roku 4K Ultra with HBO Max (Batman -- Gotham is Calling). I've checked to ensure HD Deep Color is enabled; confirmed my HDMI cable is suitable (48Gbps / 8K); confirmed that ROKU settings are correct for the attached display; enabled/disabled Film Maker auto-detect. I even tried a FireTV Stick 4K Max - all to no avail. I'm pretty sure it is something I've overlooked in settings, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. Any help would be most appreciated!! Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Thank you so much!!! Tv looks so much better with these settings. 💪

Very illustrative video, thank you for that. I found with 83" screen some of the auto/dynamic related setting will settle the picture artifacts / pecularities, which is not normally visible on smaller screens like 65" displays I have as a second display. So the calibration also is dependant of screen size also. With too overexposed view your eyes will burn with 83 incher, but with 50 inch display is just an little too far set value and that's it.

Is there a PDF or a page where these settings are printed out? I've tried to take notes while watching the video but I think I might be missing something. I just bought an LG OLEDC155PUB and I'd love to fine tune it to relieve the "black crush" in some content. I'd also like to get rid of the ridiculous Home screen ads and at least be able to customize it so my inputs come up at the top and the streaming stations (apps?) are secondary. Other than that it's looking almost as good as my 2008 Panasonic Plasma which I just replaced --- a lot sharper, of course.

Would 25 oled pixel brightness still be 100nits or has it changed because newer update has changed the brightness to 80

Thank you for the video! At the end I assume just like all the other setttings when completed you should click “apply to all inputs” you left that small art out. Again great video used this on my 77 inch C1.

السلام عليكم بالنسبة لهذه النوع من الشاشات هل ينصح باستخدام game optmizer باستمرار مع الالعاب ام يجب اطفاء هذه الخاصية بين الفينة والاخرى والاعمناد على dolby vision فقط او وضعيات الصورة

3 questions: - Do you perceive, personally, Soap Opera Effect in Cinema Movement? - Sharpness in 10 is really the most accurate compared to Sharpness in 0? - Should I calibrate by eye using the Xbox SDR calibration screen to game mode?

Great video! Do you disable all the AI settings?

Do these settings apply to the A1 as well?

Hi Phil. I noticed that in dolby vision the light sensor is switched on, I do agree and like this. I am also sure that the light sensor does nothing on other formats with the energy setting to on. LG say that it does but more subtly. I argued but they insisted that it does work. I have asked this question to many calibrators without any response. Perhaps you could do the honours ....Rod

hello great video! i recently brought one and i notice some black dots on the border top side of the screen that come and goes every time, this is normal? i have about 18 hours of use!

Great video, my question is when should i use cinema vs cinema home (dolby vision vs dolby vision iq) thx!

Is this relevant for CX as well or should be different?

Once you get used to the settings, the 'Vivid' mode becomes utterly unwatchable. I am using 'Bright Expert' with some minor tweaks. The picture on my 48" C1 is amazing. The sound? Well, it's not good, especially on the BBC whose sound quality is atrocious, despite using several set-up options. I will be investing in a good quality sound bar in the new year.

thanks

Hi, loved your video, can you tell me why my lg C2 won’t let me turn on Dolby atmos, I’ve just got a grey screen I also have a new lg sp8ya sound bar connected

would these settings also work for LG B2 77"? i cannot find much for this specific model.

What motion eye care do?

Good evening! Not everyone just TV for movies only, can someone with a good heart indicate the perfect settings for watching Sky Sport 24 or football matches or "normal" TV?

LG just pushed new Firmware Version 03.20.16 today for the US Market for the C1... There are several new additional User Controls .... Will you be updating your Calibration Suggestions as some controls seems to have changed nomenclature?

I am using a fire cube. How do I find SDR content and HDR content? Also how can I tell what the content is? Thank you so mUch

Any chance you guys can update this guide to reflect C2 and latest LG firmware upgrade, some menus have changed and for new owners this guide might be out of date, thank you in advance!

This is very helpful. Does anyone know why aspect ratio is greyed out in some cases? Dolby Vision, for example.

Where can I find hrd10 content? I can't find one I only saw sdr and dolby vision... also I get lots of snow they said to change something about when turn back on again and fails to detect new input? After you do the last vision plus do you hit apply to all inputs again?

Can u plz show best Setting dv and hdr 10 plus for very black room ?

Aspect Ratio setting is greyed out and set to "Original" on Netflix, Prime Video and other apps. What do I do?

Hi excellent video and excellent channel..Which TV you think is better? Lg c1 or Sony a80j

A lot of reviewers are noticing that the C1 and G1 crush shadow detail at the lower end of the greyscale OOTB. Did you notice this as well? Any tips to mitigate it other than a full calibration?

Good settings but i prefer color depth at 55 and true motion at smooth. On my lg cs6la these settings looks better than custom isf night mode.

Awesome help here thank you

Thank you for taking your time and giving us the correct settings. I will be applying these settings to my LG C1 Oled TV 65". Thank you again. TERRIFIC

Is this applicable to the b1 as well?

I’ve tweaked my settings for 4K SDR (Hulu) and utilize ISF bright room with some tweaks. I do 4K Dolby Vision (Apple +) and utilize ISF bright as well. Every single time I watch a show I say a handful of times how insanely good the pic is. It’s all subjective based on user.

Question: what about gaming? I’ve seen a couple other sources say thet the default colour of 55 is most accurate only in game mode.

Aspect ratio is always greyed out for me. As is gamma adjust, which is always locked into 2.2, no matter what sort of content is playing in the background.

Do you have settings for sports?

Should I buy a new HDMI 2.1 cable for my tv and virgin media. I have a HDMI cable but I’m not sure if it’s 2.1

When you select Apply to all inputs, is that any hdmi/tv/usb inputted into tv, when you just chouse the mode FilmMaker Mode ?, or is it also for all the other modes, like Standard/Vivid/Eco/Game/isf/ etc etc ?

Hello. I would like to enable the logo dimming option, but it's greyed out. How can I force it to be enabled?

Can you tell me the audio settings. I have a samsung soundbar paired via hdmi e-arc cable with a lg g2. Is there something in the settings that I need to turn on/off?

I bought my parents the 48inch version and couldn't get my TV to showcase Filmmaker mode. I had to go into the video settings of their Chromecast and turn on a feature that then enabled me to be able to have full control from the TV's point of view. I am at my friends who has the 55inch version, and he has apple tv 4k... and I am now running into the same issues. Filmmaker mode is not a picture option and I have been trying to change the settings inside apple tv but I am not having any luck. Any suggestions?

Thank you. I had an LG CX that got burn in and then I bought a QLED but just missed oled too much, picked up an LG C1 as I watch alot of 4k movies especially on disk as I'm bit of a collector and this video really helped me out as I don't have any meters or the time to get in a professional calibrator. It might not be of interest to you or you might have already done a video on it but could you point me in the right direction for proper calibration for a ps5 aswell? I know HDTV has videos up but who lives in a grading suite?

Great channel! So my question is this if I'm watching a 4k bluray encoded in Dolby Vision in a dark room do I watch it in Cinema Home or Cinema mode? I.e do I want the adaptive light of cinema home on or off when watching in a dark room?

Two questions. Can you suggest which settings to use for ps5 use? Also, there’s a video advising to set White Balance to Warm 50, should we not do this then? Thanks in advance!

Why turn off hdr tone mapping? I find everything clearer with HDR tone mapping. And what is best to use with vison? Cinema home or cinema

Will this work on the LG nanocell 2021 TV?
