Picture Mode Settings > Advanced Controls > Gamma > 2.2 (There is some debate that BT.1886 is better for dark rooms for…reasons? I like the small boost that 2.2 brings. Picture Mode Settings > Advanced Controls > All post-processing options should be greyed out. If you are super-human and notice it, turn it to 0) Picture Mode Settings > Sharpness > 10 (This might introduce an imperceptible (to me) amount of input lag. Picture Mode Settings > Game (this will change to Game (User) as soon as you make a change to the preset) We will stay in the Picture section for the rest of this guide. On your remote, press the Cog/Gear button (menu), and go to All Settings. I used the Xbox Dashboard to configure this section. I recommend flipping through every option screen at least once, when using a new source, input, or mode.įor this guide, I'm using an Xbox Series X, as I can easily switch between content that fires off the various signal types. So get used to this process! There is an 'Apply to All Inputs' feature within the various screens below, but I believe I've had mixed results with that, so I don't trust it. Note: EVERY TIME your TV detects a different signal type (HDR10, SDR, Dolby Vision), on EVERY INPUT, you will need to dial in your settings for that input/mode for the first time.

Auto update scares me, especially with this new HDMI 2.1 tech when firmware is being updated somewhat frequently. If you are having some kind of issue that you've read is fixed in an updated firmware version, just manually update the firmware.

DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE, LG!ĭon't need the promo stuff, don't need the animation, and I don't want the 'Home' menu popping up every time I change sources. We don't really want the TV to decide how bright our room is, and we don't want the content recommendations, either. Then, click AI Recommendation and turn all that OFF, too. On your remote, press the Cog/Gear button (menu), and go to All Settings When you first connect these consoles and turn them on, the TV should prompt to enable HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color mode, which is critical to exposing some settings & options. NOTE: If you are using an Xbox Series X or PS5 to calibrate these settings, head over to these two YouTube videos to ensure you allow the consoles to fully utilize the TV's features. Game Mode = ON, with an optimized picture across the board. But I believe, if various types of image signal processing adds to input latency, and the purpose of Game Mode is to disable this processing to decrease latency - and if I don't really like how all of the image processing looks, anyway - why not just leave Game Mode on at all times? I think this is possible with the settings I will share.Īgain, I am not an expert AT ALL.

I am personally OK with watching a bluray or a streaming movie in Game Mode, as long as it LOOKS exactly the same as one of the other presets that might focus on visual fidelity over low input lag. Give me all the fidelity, and as little input lag as possible. I want to find the perfect balance of - LOOKS GREAT, FEELS GREAT. I am not a fan of changing settings back and forth between Game Mode, iSF Dark Room, etc, etc. I want to focus on one thing here - getting our settings dialed in so we do not need to change anything no matter what the source signal is. These settings are great for ME, but if I'm wrong about anything, or if you've got a differing opinion, please share in the comments.Ī few caveats/things to be aware of when learning about your LG CX television. Allow me to offer this horribly disqualifying language up front: I am a mere hobbyist - not a display expert, so please take what I say with a grain of salt.

I have toiled for months to find what I feel are the optimal settings, and I'd like to share them with you.

I've had the good fortune of owning two LG CX screens - one in the living room and one in the office for a PC monitor. The colors are rich, the contrast is deep, the black is pure, and HDR at 4K makes the image absolutely pop with detail and vibrancy. No matter what size screen you are using, and whether you're using it for PC games, console games, bluray, or UHD discs - once you go OLED, it's hard to go back to any other type of display. The larger LG OLED screens (55', 65', 75') are going into living rooms, and the smaller screen (48') is going into offices as a PC monitor.

LG, at the time of this writing, might be considered the leader in this space. Hello, Shacknews! OLED televisions are becoming more affordable each year.
