There's a peak brightness setting I've set it to low.

Watched 300 and it's very dark is is it disc at fault as others are ok

did you set the brightness while watching 300? My panny changes screen options depending on the material watched, so changing the brightness while watching virgin tv doesn’t effect things when I chuck a Dolby vision disc in as the tv changes to a DV mode.

Yeah whilst disc is playing I set it very high blacks are grey but zero shadow detail so probably the movie at fault, backed it back down to 50-52

OLED light setting controls the brightness of the screen, I dont touch the brightness setting leave it at 50.

I set to ISF dark room and then adjust the OLED light to suit.

hornetstinger · 22 Nov 2019 at 12:39

I can't adjust oled light setting at all, guess need hdr 4k movie?

hornetstinger · 22 Nov 2019 at 12:40

Also brightness is actually black level. Ie the darkest blacks

Contrast is the white level, the whitest whites

Figured issue with blocked optical, use a 90 degree adapter. Cable is bit short also so use optical joiner. It'll do until look at new av pre amp.

Why cant you adjust the OLED light setting? Turn off all the ECO stuff first.

On HDR the OLED light is automatically set to 100 and you dont need to adjust it. On HDR I use cinema home picture mode, cinema is said to be more accurate but is far too dark for me.

hornetstinger · 22 Nov 2019 at 12:55

Energy saving is on it's bright enough on auto, off it's too contrast, unless then ramp down regular contrast?

Don't have any 4k discs

I would have a read of the Rtings settings. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/c9-oled/settings

hornetstinger · 22 Nov 2019 at 13:31

Yeah done that, seems ok so far using technicolour? preset then tweaking it

I think the ISF dark room is the most acurate out of the box. I use that and moved the OLED light to 55 which suits my room.

I don’t know why you can’t adjust OLED light setting if you find picture dim, I suggest turning off all the ECO stuff.

Use audio delay on be player?

Av preamp has it also
As does TV
TV display will have processing lag
And other sources have it
Plus anti mode causes delay

It's not dim, it has more light output than the plasma. Read up what brightness (black level)

Watching "red" and that is fine so must be 300.

I wouldn’t adjust the brightness or contrast unless using slides to calibrate black and white level. I plan to do mine jus not had time yet. Looks decent out the box though. One thing I notice is poor quality sources often look crap in dark scenes. 4K blu Ray look amazing.

The new bbc program seven worlds on the iplayer app looks amazing. Worth watching.

I've got spears and munshill bd disc

Going to pick up the 55" panny this afternoon!

seph_88 · 23 Nov 2019 at 12:01

I'm also on the fence about which one of these to get, the side of me that watches movies wants the Panasonic, but the gaming side of me wants the LG. 1st world problems.

hornetstinger · 23 Nov 2019 at 12:40

Earc will come in handy too, something the Panasonic lacks.

Pretty sure you'll be happy with either, also £400 saving means get ISF calibration on the LG.

I was unsure of or pannu, I am movie goer but the saving on the LG swayed me to it, scaling on 1080p sources seem fine, from a oppo 983 dvd player.

I really wouldn't worry about which. They are both good TV's I would suspect you really are unlikely to be disappointed in the picture of either tbh. The fact that reviews will compare and say one is slightly better at some aspect in real life is not going to be a massive issue for you. you're not comparing bottom of range to top of range. I have the 65" LG and I'm more than happy with the picture quality. I've not played with the interface on Panny but I certainly find the apps and webOS to be great and am actually relegating my shield tv to kids room as Plex etc is flawless so far

hornetstinger · 24 Nov 2019 at 20:56

Found the TV has two built in video files 4k hdr what are best settings for her modes?
