LG G5

I have a B7 from 2017 I think and typical content is on OLED light of about 17-25. I do watch HDR at high brightness as well but honestly it gives me glare on my eyeballs as it’s so bright. I need to turn that down probably. I personally didn’t think brightness was a problem for OLED in any situation other than the showroom.

If it helps with panel longevity and burn-in then great, although my B7 has no burn in despite lots of use.

I’d rather see better de-judder and motion smoothing (yes I’m one of those people that uses it despite what Vincent recommends- it is subjectively a more pleasant viewing experience) as well as better uniformity on the panel for greys which my B7 has struggled with out of the box.

I still see no reason to upgrade since I ditched WebOS for an Apple TV 4K (a step I recommend to all, including solving the remote control issue above) but I do think my office/man cave could benefit from a nice OLED at some point as a second panel…

yeah judder is still an issue for oled it's just the poor 24hz source material, there's only so much that can be done. Imagine setting your GPU gaming to 24fps, then using frame generation, or a monitors motion interpolation/refresh doubling/tripling/quadrupling to increase that to 48, 72, 100fps/100hz etc.

I think Peter Jackson used higher framerate film?, but some people don't like it.

Yeah I looked at the high fps stuff before (48 FPS?) and I love it but it does give that soap opera effect that makes it feel less cinematic, but once you’re past that it’s just better imo…

Yep, on The Hobbit, not LOTR.

TVs have had frame insertion forever. That's what all their motion smoothing settings do.

Duh, I’ve never needed to turn it down on my current ones which is why I’d be interested in seeing this much higher brightness.

Maybe view in a darker environment

yes but only so much it can do, I think it looks better with motion smoothing off, even though it has judders. With it on, it just creates soap opera effect

There's also BFI but only certain TV's have that.

Yeah I don't like it either and turn almost all image processing off. But it's interesting that stuff referred right now as a gaming feature, and relatively current, has been in TVs much longer.

I mostly watch them in blacked out rooms.

Sure you aren't wearing dark sunglasses? I watch in near blacked out room, no way would i watch a HDR movie with oled light and contrast to 100, peak brightness to high, and a couple of other HDR settings that are supposed to be set to max.

I literally whince in pain with the amount of light.

No, people just have different tolerance to brightness that’s all. I know some folk who hate bright lights and are sunlight averse :cry:

The reported brightness seems crazy, but I'd have to see it in person to know if it's too much.

How have they managed to increase it so much? While also making them less prone to burn-in.

I'm due for an upgrade to one of our OLEDs in the house and the G5, when it goes on sale towards the end of the year, will probably be the one.

From all the reading/ watching I've been doing over the past few days I think the G4 gets it's added brightness over the C4 by using a MLA panel and the G5 betters this by using a new 4 stack RGB Tadum panel ( extra blue colour) which has improved both colours and brightness over the G4 . Pretty sure both G series come with heatsinks equipped where as not an option on the C series...

I'm warming more towards the G5 myself as it does either match or exceed the G4 just hoping it's gets more FW updates to sort out the remaining issues it has with HDR10+ , they fixed DV so I'm hopeful it gets sorted.

Primary RGB Tandem OLED takes a big step into the light

Probelm here is you're generalising. All content differs in luminance... and some are mastered in too low a brightness level. This is where headroom is key.

And I too watch in a pitch black room.
