For HDR film viewing I've found the following looks good to me, can't comment on games. Try them and see :)

HDR standard mode
Oled light 100
Contrast 100
Brightness 50
Sharpness 10
Color 55
Tint 0

Dynamic contrast medium (personal preference here, do check out the others - off or low is too dim to me though).
Super resolution off
Color gamut wide
Edge enhancer off
Colour filter off

White balance colour temperature warm1 (warm2 is too green!)

Noise reduction off
Mpeg noise reduction off
Black level low
Real cinema on

Dynamic contrast works really well on HDR ,i was suprised ;)

Yeah it absolutely ruins the ISF modes though, terrible!

For HDR it just seems to punch out the highlights more without raising the black levels much at all, which means it looks nicer without looking unrealistic to me.
 
Thanks guys for the info`s ;)
those HDR settings look great BTW :D

Any recommendations for satellite freeview hd channels ect... or use default isf dark ? or bright ? also anything for dolby vision ? or is its mode standard good enough ?

BTW question regarding something, its not really judder as i know thats getting fixed ? but happens on the same types of shots like panning ect.
if i look at faces they will ghost like hard to explain on fast panning close ups ect is this interpolation ???? just wondering lol

nice those are pretty good also ;)

will post up my 2% and 5% near dark and out of dark slides later :)
really is a good panel that i got.... i cant see any issues with banding or near dark banding or dead pixels :)
 
Same, if you don't notice any issues I would not bother with slides if I were you.

The 55" are all pretty uniform from the slides I have seen anyway, the edges are a little brighter than the middle but not enough to bother me, even on a single tone screen.

It's better to have that than vignetting anyway.
 
oh just because you did hahaha :D

As you can see the white slide is awesome and the near dark slide is fine also the line you can see in the middle goes away i was doing something on the pc just before i took the picture so left a temp image.....

but those look fine and i cant see anything in any content :)

8. There is an outstanding issue with motion stutter in one very specific scenario, LG apparently have a firmware fix coming for it. The scenario where this occurs is UHD Bluray with HDR enabled. 4K HDR streaming is fine for me.

sounds like a really good set apart from this one issue, relating to HDR 10 sources (according to the AVForums review from last week)

Hopefully LG will get it resolved, but tv is way too expensive to buy in the hope this gets resolved.

I would like to see them make a TV without speakers at all though, would lower costs and could instead focus on just the panel. I know this is technically a "Monitor" but I will ignore that.

Even after having a Kuro for 5 years (best picture quality possible when it was new) Im still regret not having inbuilt speakers on occasion. Im not sure how much different the price would be either, probably wouldnt be as much as you expect.

Already resolved, see post above yours!

I always use my AV Receiver for audio, so never need TV speakers. My first two Plasma screens were Panasonic 'monitors' with no speakers and the inputs were configurable - You had to pay extra to buy the boards that slotted in at the back!


As for the LG OLED's - I think they are great, but they are a bit overpriced.

Personally I think the 2017 LG OLEDs might be the ones that I finally jump on the bandwagon with. They are already talking about a low-latency GAME mode with HDR enabled, which the 2016 sets do not do (and they have no plans for a firmware update to sort it)

The inclusion of HDMI 2.1 with HDR metadata to be compatible with broadcast TV HDR would be nice.

And hopefully they will completely sort out their 5% greyscale DSE/banding issue as well with another year of development.

Unfortunately according to other reports it still isnt fixed (bariing in mind this isnt evident on all UHD discs in the first place)

It's fixed my stuttering issue here. I've not seen any reports that a) have the new update and b) still have the issue, and the avforums crew are usually quite vocal on it.
