Chad B came today. Big thanks!

Let's just say after all my tweaks and all the settings I tried it was still way way off lol. My gamma and color curve is right on now which is real nice.

Fwiw he left oled at 100 in bright and game, 85 for dark. I told him I like it a little brighter anyway. But I think all the sets are different for optimum backlight.

Haven't watched a movie yet but ESPN looks pretty accurate.

Also fwiw Comcast signal is dog doo lol. So soft and grainy and fuzzy.

Congrats! Chad B is one of the best isf calibrators in the country! It's funny how far off these displays vary from panel to panel. When he did another B6 a month ago he had their oled light on isf dark at 44 and on yours he has it at 85. Just goes to show you that sharing our settings with everyone doesn't matter cuz each display has a mind of its own. LOL!

Now I am really confused.

Dejudder affects every mode and input I use. I have never noticed Deblur do anything.

I do not have a PC connected, but isn't Directv 60 htz? Dejudder has a big effect on directv.

I'll check out the UFOs and see what I see.

You are right yet the shared settings myth continues go figure. I agree Chad is the best will have him out soon for a tuneup

you near Columbus? I've been thinking if getting one, doesn't he offer discounts if he can do multiple on a trip?

@chunon ......nice! Tell him I (Ronnie) said hi and as soon as I get my Oppo 203 I'll be calling him too. Not only is he awesome at what he does, he's just an all around class act.

Should be unable to inbox and test out my B6 later today. Any good HDR demo and HDR v SDR materials I can use to test? Does the set come loaded with demo material?

I have Netflix and Amazon, but no UHD player.

I scheduled Chad B to come out next weekend to calibrate my C6.


My TV has a bunch of noise and blotchiness in some really dark scenes, and I'm wondering if a proper calibration will help minimize that and reveal more detail? I've never had a TV calibrated before.

Check out the LG chess demo. You'll have to use a USB stick to get it in HDR though cuz our You Tube app doesn't have HDR.

Even without HDR, the 4k Jazz video and the 4k Chess demo look great on YouTube.

Weird thing is... I think I've watched about every 4K demo ever made and the LG Chess video "doesn't"do it for me. When I want to show of my TV I avoid playing the chess video because the flesh tones of the queen(?) during the opening sequence are not accurate. On close up she's way too pink (i.e. not natural). If someone was demoing that clip for me for me I'd be thinking "Sheesh the color on this set sucks" Yes... I can adjust my set to give her natural looking flesh tones, but then every video or demo I watch after that the colors are way off. And the problem is not my set... I've also watched it on two of my home PC's shes still way too pink. Maybe it was the directors artistic impression and was filmed that way intentionally but it doesn't work for me. That said... the rest of the video looks great.

Oh you're gonna love your C6 so much more after Chad gets done with it. He'll be able to get a lot of that noise out and bring balance to your panel. You'll love the before and after charts he gives you. It's fun to compare your before and after measurements. You'll see how bad off we are by trying to eyeball the settings ourselves.

I dunno most the noise issues are probably source related. My Xbox looks good and clean but Comcast still looks noisy.

He was on his way back from a 3 week trip yesterday I was had last stop lol. I'm sure he's happy to be home finally.

HU what??

Just saw RTINGS A1E review

And A1E got the same score as LG C6 /B6!!!! What? Am I missing something? haha

With LG C6 scoring 9.3, and A1E 9.0 for movies!! yeah I know the extra 0.3 is 3D Lol

But still, I am pretty shocked.. I expected A1E to score A LOT higher, especially after reading the many many super loving SONY posts on the A1E thread lol

Or is rtings smoking something?... but I always use that site, they always have very accurate info.. so I dont know, I am just in mad confusion $4-5k for what.. I got my LG C6 for $2k!

I read the review seems pretty accurate, it's does certain things a tad better than the 2016s. 2017 vs it is a toss up imo . A lot of hype over there but in the end it's an lg panel an oled is an oled imo

Damn man, I am so glad I bought that TV!!! but I feel bad for overhyped SONY fan boys that bought the A1E! No, lol, it is your money, do whatever you want

Yeah, the A1E is better in gradient handling and has better motion interpolation processor (Yet, it still failed 24P over 60hz).

Before I found out, Dejudder 2 Deblur 0, I would be excited about better motion, but now, I don't care.

Yep... I was thinking the same thing. Sony gets their OLED panels from LG. So, as you said... an OLED is an OLED.

Video processioning can make a huge difference.......

Yeah very true. When the source is bad there's not much you can do with crappy source material coming from DirecTv or Comcast. But true bluray and video games look amazing. What did he set your Gamma at?

So, in anticipation of receiving my Oppo 203 and starting a good UHD library, I revisited my SDR calibration settings and finally setup an ISF Bright and Dark profile (before I was just using ISF Bright, around 65fL calibrated, even for dark room Blu-ray watching). Using an iD3 and CalMAN. Wouldn't call myself a professional by any means, but having seen Chad calibrate most of my displays in the past and spending the last two years tinkering with CalMAN software...I'm an educated amateur I would say.

One thing I have decided on is to NOT pursue perfect near black detail and went for a straight Gamma value of 2.3 (including for 5 IRE). I am using a Brightness of 52 paired with a luminance of -3 for 5 IRE (I am also using the -20RGB value trick for 2pt Low to prevent elevated blacks that can happen on certain panels). All other IRE values are calibrated for a perfect 2.3 gamma...no unnecessary adjustments in an attempt to reveal more detail. When displaying the custom near black pattern in the dedicated "LG Near Black" thread, value 17 is crushed, 18 is only visible if I sit in the dark for 5 minutes and then put my nose right up to the pattern, 19 is barely visible from my seat (and I mean barely) and 20 and above are all adequately visible in increasing intensity. This is for my ISF Dark profile (40fL calibrated). For the ISF Bright profile (60fL calibrated), 18 is almost visible from my seat and 19 is clearly visible. 17 is still crushed.

Am I crushing the lowest of the low black detail? Yea. But it's 0.5% and below of the video signal. If I really really stressed out about 0.5% imperfections throughout my life, everyday living would be atrocious.

I am also lucky in that my panel is near perfect for uniformity. a 1% IRE full screen slide shows almost no DSE/banding and absolutely no vignetting. I'll take THAT over some minuscule near black detail any day.

To each his own though.

P.S. - In terms of adjusting luminance for better near black detail, 5 IRE is really the only value that will make a huge difference. When looking at a black clipping pattern (such as the custom one in the "Near Black" thread or the standard AVS 709 pattern), each value is roughly 0.5% of the video signal; 17= 0.5%, 18=1% and so on (roughly, someone can correct my rounding errors). So if 5 IRE represents 5% of the video signal, changing its luminance will effect the near black detail/values. But 10% (10 IRE) and above will not. Changing these luminance values will help darker scenes (such as the darkest grays) but not the very darkest/near black values.

These are the settings I have for a calibrated Game Mode.

OLED Light: 75
Contrast: 85
Brightness: 52
Sharpness: 0
Color: 49
Tiny: 0
Color Temp: W33
Gamma: Medium
