LG 48CX OLED - 4K 120 Hz

If you got the cables from rainforest, easy refund and return anyhow.

Yup, I'll find one this way! FW not dropping yet but it was only made last month so has 3.11.30 on it.

Picked it up earlier and it's awesome, love it!

Can't get RGB full chroma on it yet but I'm putting it down to a super crappy cable I'm using, still looks incredible

I put my hdmi port in console mode and can get full rgb 444 120hz

Congrats! You won’t regret it for a second and I couldn’t imagine having anything other than an OLED now.

Didn't work for me, but this is quite an old cable I think!!

It'll be the cable for sure. I take it you can't get 4k 120hz either?

Yes I can get 4k/120 np but it's in YbCbr 4:2:0. Weird thing is the text looks pretty fine with PC enabled (with Ultra colour, Freesync etc), and if I put into Game Console mode then the text becomes fringed and quite terrible (all the options are still ticked as PC mode, checked). It's ok though, am hoping a cable or the very latest FW fixes it. This TV had pretty bad AMD issues I gather though, so am lucky a lot has been fixed (or it's 3090 here I come!).

@JediFragger apologies, I thought you had a 3080 for some reason (I don't see signatures unless I rotate my phone).

Hopefully the cable will sort it for you. Here's a link to some settings to try for HDR gaming.

If you got time on your hands, this guys done an ultimate CX gaming guide

You don't have to go through it all but he does mention some nice tweaks and settings at the start and his AMD gpu section part.

@R3X that's a good find, thanks for sharing.

 

[JediFragger]

Yeah nice one @R3X that's one for the bookmarks!

Have a wee look at 1440 on that screen, what do you think?

Will check it out tomorrow, I gather the scaling is excellent though, but I'd def prefer native if possible.

So I downloaded the firmware update from LG last night, thought I'd install this morning. Switched on the tv this morning and boom software update tells me there is an update waiting. Now on 03.21.16

I have the 48 and 55, the 48 got the update but not the 55

Firmware updates are staggered to prevent servers overloading.

I'll take a note to replay that, I thought it looked great on my ultrawide x34a so looking forward to seeing it on the 48CX.
