Nice, you changed to ISF expert mode which is recommended.

I just changed mine a little more and am much happier as well as I was losing lots of detail in dark areas.

Now have this which I use for freeview TV and bluray movies.

ISF expert dark room
Oled light 55 (originally had it at 28 and then 40, can see a lot more detail in dark scenes with it at 55)
contrast 85
brightness 51
colour 50
sharpness both 10
gamma BT1886 (This is default on dark mode and I can't see a difference between this and 2.4, so left it as is)
All processing off
colour gamut normal
 
My calibrator said that Gamma 2.4 and BT1886 are one and the same on this TV, there is no actual difference.

Also he said stick to color gamut normal, wide can throw colours out and has no real benefits.

All Dynamic contrast etc should definitely be turned off, although in my experience dynamic contrast seems to operate OK in HDR, it's terrible in SDR viewing.

You can use trumotion but it introduces artifacts for me, even on low, so I have it disabled all the time.

Seen that mentioned a lot which is why I left it at BT1886 default, I like gamma 2.2 as well but I find the image does not have as much depth as BT1886/2.4
 
I just finished watching Iron Fist on Netflix as it was my first Dolby vision title i've watched through this T.V and it looked great, everything looked natural, no over the top colours but at the same time it looked perfect.

The scene that really shows what OLED can do in my opinion is the scene later in the season where a duel is happening at night while it's heavily raining.

The sales person in store i was talking to thought i was making a mistake going from my ks8000 to OLED but he's wrong very wrong.

As i've watched multiple 4K blu rays on it that i watched with my ks8000 and it looks far better on the OLED. The OLED doesn't seem as bright to me as the ks8000 but that's no biggie anyway as i only watch T.V/movies at night.

He said the only "Good OLED" to go for was Sony's A1 that is yet released as they have fixed problems with current OLED's. But at the end of the day i payed £1570 for the T.V and the A1 is more than double that.

Gaming on the T.V seems fantastic, i've been playing a lot of PS4 and PC titles on it and it's very response since the firmware update for Game Mode HDR. Very happy with the T.V overall
 
I also thought that Iron Fist looked good in DV, the OA not so much. I guess it depends on how well it's filmed/mastered.

For colour temp, you may be tempted not to use warm 2, but it should be a bit more natural (if a little green) once yo get used to it. The cool temperatures introduce too much blue into the picture.
 
Isn't it because with The Walking Dead the shoot it on a 16mm camera to give it a natural grainy look for the post apocalyptic vibe.

Not sure what was used to shoot Iron Fist but i doubt they'd use a 16mm lens for a City show. But saying that DD is quite dark aswel and very grainy.

I don't mind grain effect, it just looked out of place when I watched a bit of Iron Fist due the location setting, I only watched a very short clip of this so cant say if grain suits the show or not.
 
If there anyway to stop the brightness adjusting depending on the content being displayed? it's a little odd especially when watching animated content, one scene will be super bright and next washed out.

Viewing on a HTPC and it's quite annoying actually

Mine doesn't do that. Have you got all the processing options off. ?

As far as I'm aware, yes.

Might be something I've missed, but I've been though the settings a few times already.

EDIT: Seems the more white displayed on the screen the dimmer it gets, think I've seem plasma displays do this as well.

I've been through the settings and nothing seems to address this, probably only noticeable for desktop use, also happens when watching Anime quite a lot.

It might be the automatic brightness limiter kicking in. I think you can reduce it by upping the OLED light to 100, but you'd need to reduce brightness and other things or it could be insanely bright.

Yeah, apparently it's due to power restrictions so effectively the TV is under-powered. Having a pure white display with full brightness would simply consume too much power so they have to limit it.

Plasma displays used to do this as well, interesting.

Looks like LG's OLED tech is not very power efficient.
