I did have a chance to use your suggested settings for the SDR picture mode...and it worked great. Better than any other settings I have been able to come up with. The Clarity - TruMotion setting to User Selection makes a big difference.... Also, your suggested settings for Dolby Cinema are very good and similar to what I have been using for the past 5+ months I have had the TV. As you know the LG G2 defaults to many of the Dolby Cinema settings so not that much to change once you select Cinema in the Dolby format... Thanks again for a great video and helping with the SDR settings...
I've had my previous two TVs "professionally" calibrated for $300 a pop and in both instances, I reset the TVs after the tech left...just horrible wastes of money....I had my new LG 77" C2 installed today and used this video to navigate the complex maze of setting menus and followed the suggested adjustments to a tee and though it was nice out of the box, the picture is absolutely beautiful, now!! Thank you, Review Fella!!!
WOW! Great tutorial! I bought a 77” G2. It arrived today. Spent the first several hours looking at terrible picture quality, no clue how the remote worked, could not find most all of the great features the G2 was supposed to come with, and was pretty much guessing my way thru the plethora of menu screens. Then I found your video. IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW BUYERS- When I first turned on the TV it said it was updating the software. Cool! When I finally found the software update menu it said the TV was up to date. Cool! After watching your video I went into the software menu and hit ‘Update Software’ again just for the heck of it. KA-POW! The TV downloaded a major update and came to life! All the goodies were now in the menu screens along with…get this….A USER MANUAL! When you get your new LG toy, run the update a couple times even if the TV says it is up to date. Thank again!
Just got my 77” C2. In the same boat. Not impressed compared to the A80J that it replaced. Will use the info in this video and will see how it plays out.
@@adamstern5116I’ve just made a similar swap a80j to G2 menu definitely easier on a80j but picture of the g2 after these settings is noticeably superior.
The first few minutes of this video were priceless for a new Oled tv user. Especially the energy saving mode. Why it’s hidden away in the settings or even a thing is stupid. It makes the screen far too dark, surely nobody would want this!! So thank you.
I just bought a c2 gets delivered on the first of next month and can’t wait will definitely try out your recommendations on calibration and I see that you actually responded to peoples questions and not many UA-camrs do. For that your got a new subscriber really shows you care
The C2 is a great TV and you won't regret it. I hope the recommendations work ok for you. Please let me know how you get on with your new TV. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Really good video. I watched a bunch of other ones and the little details that you give before your answers really are phenomenal and help explain things a lot easier
Bought 7 weeks ago. LG C2 65inch OLED in early Jan 2023. Best tv ever. Perfect for movies & high quality tv series. I come from a television production background so I was looking for perfect reproduction of what the creatives intended and LG C2 does this!!! Works well in a moderately bright room. Coupled with a good surround sound system (5.1 AV receiver) and you don’t get a better experience. I couldn’t be happier.
How’s the picture quality for night scenes in hdr/Dolby vision? I’m a big fan of Game of Thrones content and want to make sure I’m getting the right television.
Hi review fella I just got a c2 and tried the settings myself and the picture was horrific. Thanks to you I have copied yours step by step and it now looks amazing, so a big thank you mate.
Thank you so much! I’ve watched other “recommended settings” videos where the host is flying in and out of menus so rapidly that I can’t follow what they’re changing, and what’s on the screen doesn’t match what they’re saying. Your video is very helpful.
Thank you so much for making this video! It's incredibly informative. I wanted to find out if and how to set custom picture modes. You've shown me even more than I thought I needed to know. My old LG TV had a very different customisable picture mode selection menu to what they have now. I'm sure I'll get used to it, when I buy my new T.V. though.
Got mine today from boxing day sales for £800 reduced from £1500 and it is amazing!!! Best tv i have ever had. These settings youve suggested have helped thank you!
I return my a90k and got the lg c2 and this tv is so much better in almost every way the cinema mode is the most accurate for color for watching movies and tv and the gaming in game optimizer mode is sweet
Just unboxed my 77'' C2 very dark picture out of the box. I am so glad I found this video and I can't wait to see "the best TV of 2022". I wish LG or someone would also make a tutorial on best handling practices for these very fragile panels. I'm terrified of moving it and I'm mounting it on the wall this weekend.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped. Follow LG’s handling/installation advice found in the leaflet. Also make sure you have some help and I’m sure you’ll be fine. There are a few videos out there where people have wall mounted these TVs. Good luck!
I just purchased a 77" C2 and this is exactly what I needed to get the picture dialed in. It's a great TV and this video was perfect! Thanks so much for taking the time to walk us through the settings - very helpful! Great job - sincerely appreciate the help!
Thanks for sharing this. I just ordered the 55 C1 for my bedroom and the 65 C2 for my living room. Best Buy out here had an amazing sale and I had to pick them up. They'll be here next weekend can't wait.
Very easy to follow instructions...will try out the settings when I get my new LG 65 C2 oled up and running next week. Thank you for making this video. Cheers
I appreciate your advice. My C2 77" will be here on Monday. I am writing this on Wednesday at 11 PM. I'm very excited to get this tv and I haven't had a new one in several years. I'll try your settings as a start. For me it was between the LG C2 77" and the Samsung S95B. 65". If Samsung had a 77" model or if it was between two 65" tv's I may have chosen the Samsung, The Sony A95K was a little more than I wanted to spend but it is a great tv - maybe the best this year, There are so many great tv's this year it would be hard to make a really bad choice. I can make my room very dark, so I am not really worried about ambient lighting, I wish I could have seen the Hisense U8H in person. If their blacks are good in a dark room I might have been able to save a lot of money. But in the last week or so the prices of the 75 or 77 inch model has gone crazy. I think that one is a great choice if the room is bright much or the time. The LG G2 is also too expensive for an apparently small improvement over the C2, Of course I don't know yet if I made the right choice, but if not I can return it. Thanks!
Hey TRF, let me say this .... thank you, thank you, thank you ☺️ I've just purchased the LG G2 77" and was pulling my hair out regarding settings. I'd tried other UA-camrs settings and they were rubbish. Thank God I saw your channel 🙏 my oled is singing, literally singing. In sdr the only thing I changed but using your settings was that I used Standard instead of Expert etc, but you did suggest that as an alternative too. Having spent a big chunk of money I thought I'd messed up big time. Now I'm so happy. I've set all other settings you suggested for HDR etc and now it's jaw droppingly good. Thank you again....I've subscribed too. Guys, forget all other UA-camr recommendations if you have a C2/G2, this is the channel for your settings and try Standard if you don't like either of the Expert ones. You da man, sir 🤗🤗
You’re very welcome and thank you so much for such a glowing review and feedback. I very much appreciated your comment and thanks also for subscribing.
Thank you so much. New sub and like here. I just picked up my LGC2 42 inch for my gaming setup and its phenomenal. The settings you have helped me out alot. I too dont worry too much about burn in as for me im a total tech member at best buy and I will forever have a warranty on this tv which is awesome. I also have a c8 and sold my cx 48 because it was just a tad bit to big for my gaming set up. This 42 is the sweet spot for my pc, ps5, series x and switch. everything is hooked up and works very well. I have an addtional lap top and 27 inch 1440p display for all my work and other pc needs o not worried about that. Keep up the great content. Very calm and pleasing and easy to follow esp with the time stamps.
HI. Just set up my LG 42" C2 tv. Was disappointed with SDR quality but since adjusted settings you suggested, quality is much much improved!! HDR content also fabulous. Thanks v much
On my C2, the sweet spot for color gamut was "Warm 25". If I go warmer than that, the white started to become noticeable yellowish. And I disabled the logo dimming, I don't watch TV and I play videogames for an hour tops, so I never display static content for long periods. The only problem is the frame rate: I use a MiBox, if I set the resolution to 4k 24 hz with Cinematic Movement setting, movies look great indeed, but if I set 4k 60hz (for UA-cam), I can see a terrible soap opera effect in the movies, even with TrueMotion disabled! I wish there was one good setting for everything, I don't want to change settings before watching something. Anyway, great video. 👏👏👏👏
Best picture settings calibration and settings explanation I've seen by far. A little too bright for me. But easily tweaked along with color. I would start with your settings as a rock solid starting point. Then play around with it. Too bad your settings aren't the default...lol
Thank you. Your comments are much appreciated. Yes I now have the brightness lower, around 85 for SDR content. It could go lower too, depending on the environment and lighting levels etc. Thanks again.
Your voice is too unrealistically soothing my friend, vary nice sounding. For the first couple of seconds I thought it was a computer. Great video 👍🏿👍🏿
This is great. We bought a C2 recently and the picture quality is lovely. One critique/comment about your settings though. You should really set the logo brightness to 'high'. The manual states that this is the 'highest' protection. ie: if you set it to 'low' then you get 'lower' protection. It's easy to misunderstand because at first glance someone might think 'low' refers to the brightness the tv will adjust logos to, but this isn't the case. So - yeah - I recommend changing that to 'high' if you want the best protection.
Hi and thanks for the comment. I have a dedicated video relating to Logo Brightness, it’s worth a watch if you have time. LG give the opportunity to set Logo Brightness at different levels because it can be aggressive and impact other things. Because of the range of content I watch, plus the impact ‘High’ has on gaming on my PS5, I set it lower. When set to ‘High’ I find in game elements are incorrectly dimmed. A workaround for this is setting it lower with a slight trade off where risk of burn in is concerned. But I’ve never had an issue with any of my OLEDs yet so it works for me.
Thanks for such informative information the settings you provide helped a lot when setting up my new LG oled c2 65 haven't tried my xbox series X yet but will try your recommend settings thanks...
I just purchased this TV, and I’m waiting on it, as I’m writing this? I’m not a big gamer, so I’ll be using this TV, just as it is intended. Thanks for the settings info. This is my first OLED, and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed? I hear, quite possibly, this is the TV to beat? Can’t wait until it arrives, and I set it up? 👍Thanks again for your knowledge.
I have a new 77" C2 and have question. When I am watching a Dolby Vision movie on Apple TV library, why can't I see Dolby Vision in my settings? Thank you in advance for help. I really appreciate your videos!
Hi there. Somebody asked a similar question recently and it was their streaming device that was the issue. If you stream Dolby Vision content from the LG Apple TV app, you should see the settings. I’d also test using another LG TV app that supports Dolby Vision such as Netflix or Amazon.
Sorry guys...I have been trying out a number of different settings from Classy and trying some of my own...and haven't gotten these tested just yet! Based upon some of the other G2 videos and testing some of the options these tips look good to me. But if you're interested in my comments - STAY TUNED...I'll be trying them out within the next few days.
New C255 arrives Wednesday, my 1st oled. I appreciate your settings recommendations and while I’ll undoubtedly play around with some a bit I suspect I’ll likely end up with your suggestions. Thanks
Control over hdmi is dramatic. I have two devices connected. when I turn on the tv, they both turn on 😥 on the previous tv, only the one I wanted, e.g. ps5, turned on.
Thank you for this very helpful video. My C2 48" has just arrived today and I'm very pleased with it. Just one thing, under OLED panel care , you said set Adjust logo brightness to 'Low'. Have just watched a video about this from The Tech Giant, who advises this refers to the amount of adjustment for the logo. Off being no adjustment, Low being small adjustment and High being the largest adjustment. Therefore to help prevent burn in it should be set to High. This is obviously confusing and counter intuitive but LG website seems to confirm this and many people in the comments section also confirm High should be the setting. Thought you'd like to know. Apologies for the long comment and thanks again.
Hi and I hope you’re enjoying your new TV. I have a dedicated video on Logo brightness. As it does cause confusion. The best protection is to set it to high but it can dim the entire screen when gaming or watching UA-cam for example. So LG give you other options to turn it off or reduce the aggressive screen dimming (if causing issues). See my video here and thanks for the comment: ua-cam.com/video/o6SbydwpD3U/v-deo.html
I bought an LG G2 4 weeks ago. I have a Roku Ultra connected via Ethernet cable to my router, HDMI cable from my Roku to my Onkyo receiver, and a HDMI cable from the ARC output on the receiver to the ARC input on my TV. I set the display type in my Roku settings to Automatic (4K Dolby Vision). The Dolby Vision settings in this video helped me dial in my TV for Netflix. I'm still experiencing some blotchy backgrounds and annoying eye twinkle when watching live TV on UA-cam TV through my Roku. Are there any adjustments I can make to resolve these issues or could it be the source material? Thanks for providing this video and any advice you can give me.
Thanks for the feedback. I’d say the source material is most likely the culprit. Particularly UA-cam content which is compressed to death. There are so many streaming sources, all using different technology, it can be a bit hit and miss with quality. I find Netflix, Amazon and Apple TV to be good benchmarks for image quality.
Thanks for the tips just got my 42 inch C2 at a awesome price of £799 first Oled and its awesome. Not a gamer so I skipped these picture setting but the settings for viewing tv was explained nice and simple and look great 👍🏻
Just set these up apart from game mode settings which I used another vid for ,was looking for Netflix and Amazon settings and these look great ,rings of power looks amazing and also now have my bang and Olufsen headphones connected as well so game room is now complete ,thanks for the info as things like this can get swamped
I noticed in your gaming settings you said you leave everything at default settings. I also noticed you were talking about hdr settings. Do you ever play games that are only in standard mode? I find those to be less vibrant. Do you also leave those at default as well or do you adjust your settings that aren’t in HDR?
@@TheReviewFella I understand thats probably because you have only played games that are in HDR. I have a few that aren’t in HDR. I usually put those in native or change the mode to RPG mode. I was curious if you had games that weren’t in HDR.
C1 is much cheaper now. The C2 has next gen processor, improved panel, new version of WebOS and a boost in peak brightness. But I still have the 65 inch C1 as it’s a great TV.
I noticed that most of all your settings are the same that you had with the lg C1. The only difference is in HDR. This time you prefer cinema home and on the C1 you like standard. Is there a reason for the change?
Good question. Two things here. First when making the C1 video it was early days and I perhaps didn’t understand quite as much as I do now (about picture settings). Secondly I don’t look back too much when new TVs come out. I choose what looks best to me on the TV I’m reviewing or setting up in the moment. I hope that helps. Thank you.
So, I have had my tv now for 24hours, it’s amazing, your picture settings really make the picture sing. Disney Plus content like the new Avatar look incredible. My only gripe is that when switching the tv on it defaults to the tuner page and says no signal, I have no way of booting up to the home page, it seems a common complaint on Google. I’m thinking of buying an Apple set too box to connect to HDMI 1 as it always defaults to the last input on switch on. One more question, do you leave your tv on standby 24/7 ?
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve got some other videos that deal with default startup ports. Check them out they might help. I never leave anything on standby when I’m out or go to bed. I do during the day if I’m home.
I got it sorted, all I had to do was press the red button on the remote when it displayed the message about I signal and now it does not display the no signal messages and then switches to the home page.
@@TheReviewFella the 48 inch isn't as high spec as the larger ones. The 55 c2 really is incredible, I always thought samsung tv's were the best in the past but this c2 is incredible. In 4k its just stunning. I bought a qled last year but the colours were awful, with the c2 55, it really is as good as looking out if the window. Also I only paid £900 for it which was a great deal over black friday.
Thank you so much for this very helpful fix it, 42C2 is my new PC daily driver. The menu is tricky, some settings gray out a bunch of other settings without telling you. Gaming 3090 is flawless@120Hz 4K Ultra settings. Buy this on Black Fri guys, no regerts ;-)
Thanks for your invaluable G2 guide & logo videos. I have just purchased a 65" G2 and was struggling with the initial settings. I'm getting it professionally calibrated soon, it will be interesting if it improves on your guide!
Bought my Mum a C2. It arrives Wednesday. Will be following this. Question for anyone who knows. I bought a Sonos ray for my Mum as she is slightly deaf. Can you adjust the volume of the Ray with the C2’s remote or the Sky Q remote. Adjusting volume on an app is a bit beyond my Mum

@@TheReviewFella I still need to update my AV Receiver, looking at the ONKYO TX-NR7100.
Thank you so much. New sub and like here. I just picked up my LGC2 42 inch for my gaming setup and its phenomenal. The settings you have helped me out alot. I too dont worry too much about burn in as for me im a total tech member at best buy and I will forever have a warranty on this tv which is awesome. I also have a c8 and sold my cx 48 because it was just a tad bit to big for my gaming set up. This 42 is the sweet spot for my pc, ps5, series x and switch. everything is hooked up and works very well. I have an addtional lap top and 27 inch 1440p display for all my work and other pc needs o not worried about that. Keep up the great content. Very calm and pleasing and easy to follow esp with the time stamps.
Thank you so much. Glad to have you on board!
Very clear and not too fast. Another video the guy talked way to fast this is much better, thanks.
You're welcome!
OLED Brightness at 95 is very high, my calibrated C1 is on 75 and it’s more than bright enough! And you’re right, warm 50 is closest to accurate
95 seems to work best for me in my environment. However, anything from 75 upwards usually works well. Thanks for your comment.
Peak Brightness is off for SDR?
Looks brilliant now. Warm 30 really makes it pop
Great 👍🏻
AMAZING AND THANK YOU. JUST BOUGHT THE C2 65 PARTIALLY BECAUSE OF YOUR REVIEW
Thanks for the feedback. Enjoy your new TV!
I agree on warm 30. Warm 50 looks like there is brown gauze over the screen.
Thanks for your comment.
HI. Just set up my LG 42" C2 tv. Was disappointed with SDR quality but since adjusted settings you suggested, quality is much much improved!! HDR content also fabulous. Thanks v much
You’re welcome and thanks for the feedback!
On my C2, the sweet spot for color gamut was "Warm 25". If I go warmer than that, the white started to become noticeable yellowish. And I disabled the logo dimming, I don't watch TV and I play videogames for an hour tops, so I never display static content for long periods. The only problem is the frame rate: I use a MiBox, if I set the resolution to 4k 24 hz with Cinematic Movement setting, movies look great indeed, but if I set 4k 60hz (for UA-cam), I can see a terrible soap opera effect in the movies, even with TrueMotion disabled! I wish there was one good setting for everything, I don't want to change settings before watching something. Anyway, great video. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
Best picture settings calibration and settings explanation I've seen by far. A little too bright for me. But easily tweaked along with color. I would start with your settings as a rock solid starting point. Then play around with it. Too bad your settings aren't the default...lol
Thank you. Your comments are much appreciated. Yes I now have the brightness lower, around 85 for SDR content. It could go lower too, depending on the environment and lighting levels etc. Thanks again.
Your voice is too unrealistically soothing my friend, vary nice sounding. For the first couple of seconds I thought it was a computer.
Great video 👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you for your comment. It sure is my voice.
Ordered the 77inch model waiting for delivery Great explanation will update
Thanks and enjoy your new TV!
This is great.
We bought a C2 recently and the picture quality is lovely.
One critique/comment about your settings though.
You should really set the logo brightness to 'high'. The manual states that this is the 'highest' protection. ie: if you set it to 'low' then you get 'lower' protection.
It's easy to misunderstand because at first glance someone might think 'low' refers to the brightness the tv will adjust logos to, but this isn't the case.
So - yeah - I recommend changing that to 'high' if you want the best protection.
Hi and thanks for the comment. I have a dedicated video relating to Logo Brightness, it’s worth a watch if you have time. LG give the opportunity to set Logo Brightness at different levels because it can be aggressive and impact other things. Because of the range of content I watch, plus the impact ‘High’ has on gaming on my PS5, I set it lower. When set to ‘High’ I find in game elements are incorrectly dimmed. A workaround for this is setting it lower with a slight trade off where risk of burn in is concerned. But I’ve never had an issue with any of my OLEDs yet so it works for me.
@@TheReviewFella I see - totally fair. I don't plays games so I guess I wouldn't have noticed that.
Putting it high means you will make the pixels on the logo burn faster
Getting the g2. Very informative video.
Good choice. That’s a great TV. Enjoy, and thanks for the comment.
I plan on the same. I'll wait till June for prime day and hope it goes down 100 or 200. What size? I'm going for the 55 inch
If you can wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday, you’ll save a ton of money. But the price will dip in the summer too.
Thanks for such informative information the settings you provide helped a lot when setting up my new LG oled c2 65 haven't tried my xbox series X yet but will try your recommend settings thanks...
You’re welcome.
Is this also effective on the LG C3 55?
Great video. Bought a 48" Friday. Looking forward to trying some of the settings.
Good choice!
Thanks I don’t even have this tv but a dif lg one and these are great
I just purchased this TV, and I’m waiting on it, as I’m writing this? I’m not a big gamer, so I’ll be using this TV, just as it is intended. Thanks for the settings info. This is my first OLED, and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed? I hear, quite possibly, this is the TV to beat? Can’t wait until it arrives, and I set it up? 👍Thanks again for your knowledge.
You’re very welcome. You’ve chosen a fantastic TV. Enjoy!
I have a new 77" C2 and have question. When I am watching a Dolby Vision movie on Apple TV library, why can't I see Dolby Vision in my settings? Thank you in advance for help. I really appreciate your videos!
Hi there. Somebody asked a similar question recently and it was their streaming device that was the issue. If you stream Dolby Vision content from the LG Apple TV app, you should see the settings. I’d also test using another LG TV app that supports Dolby Vision such as Netflix or Amazon.
I just installed a new G2...and really appreciate your recommendations...I promise to try them out and let you know my unprofessional thoughts...
It's a great TV. Thank you and enjoy!
I guess Frank broke his promise lol
Oh dear 😂
Hey Frank! we're still waiting! :)
Sorry guys...I have been trying out a number of different settings from Classy and trying some of my own...and haven't gotten these tested just yet! Based upon some of the other G2 videos and testing some of the options these tips look good to me. But if you're interested in my comments - STAY TUNED...I'll be trying them out within the next few days.
This is really Awesome and the best video pictures
Thanks for your feedback.
This is really Awesome and it is the best video pictures colours ever produced by LG, Life is Good and I love the product.
Next week C2 83'' will knock to my doors. Can't wait :D
Wow that’s a big TV. Enjoy!
New C255 arrives Wednesday, my 1st oled. I appreciate your settings recommendations and while I’ll undoubtedly play around with some a bit I suspect I’ll likely end up with your suggestions. Thanks
You’re welcome.
thnak you good sir for such a beneficial video
Just got myself a C2 and felt overwhelmed with so many options. Used your HDR adjustmentes to use my Xiaomi Box and works like a charm.
Great! Thanks for the feedback.
Just bought the C2 65" THANK YOU for your thoughts and suggestions.
Great TV and you’re welcome!
Thank u! With your settings my OLED C2 42 inch I just bought looks amazing! I tried to do it myself and the ish looked terrible lol
You’re very welcome. Thank you.
This very helpful thank you for all the information
Thank you and you’re welcome.
Excellent detail
Thank you.
Control over hdmi is dramatic. I have two devices connected. when I turn on the tv, they both turn on 😥 on the previous tv, only the one I wanted, e.g. ps5, turned on.
Thank you for this very helpful video. My C2 48" has just arrived today and I'm very pleased with it.
Just one thing, under OLED panel care , you said set Adjust logo brightness to 'Low'. Have just watched a video about this from The Tech Giant, who advises this refers to the amount of adjustment for the logo. Off being no adjustment, Low being small adjustment and High being the largest adjustment. Therefore to help prevent burn in it should be set to High. This is obviously confusing and counter intuitive but LG website seems to confirm this and many people in the comments section also confirm High should be the setting. Thought you'd like to know.
Apologies for the long comment and thanks again.
Hi and I hope you’re enjoying your new TV. I have a dedicated video on Logo brightness. As it does cause confusion. The best protection is to set it to high but it can dim the entire screen when gaming or watching UA-cam for example. So LG give you other options to turn it off or reduce the aggressive screen dimming (if causing issues). See my video here and thanks for the comment: ua-cam.com/video/o6SbydwpD3U/v-deo.html
@@TheReviewFella Thank you very much for the info and explanation. Great channel, just subscribed.
Thank you so much, and you’re very welcome.
Hi, thanks for this infor. one question, 1080p looks kind of terrible on my C2. very grainy and noisy. are there any settings i should be aware of?
I only change what’s in the video and 1080p looks great. Depends on your source of course. Streaming services look better than cable TV for example.
Excellent. A great help… cheers
You’re welcome and thank you.
❤❤❤ where is the pause button I watch UA-cam a lot, and sometimes put it on pause. Can’t find it on the remote.😮
The scroll/ball to operate the pointer is also a button that can be pressed for ok/pause etc.
I bought an LG G2 4 weeks ago. I have a Roku Ultra connected via Ethernet cable to my router, HDMI cable from my Roku to my Onkyo receiver, and a HDMI cable from the ARC output on the receiver to the ARC input on my TV. I set the display type in my Roku settings to Automatic (4K Dolby Vision). The Dolby Vision settings in this video helped me dial in my TV for Netflix. I'm still experiencing some blotchy backgrounds and annoying eye twinkle when watching live TV on UA-cam TV through my Roku. Are there any adjustments I can make to resolve these issues or could it be the source material? Thanks for providing this video and any advice you can give me.
Thanks for the feedback. I’d say the source material is most likely the culprit. Particularly UA-cam content which is compressed to death. There are so many streaming sources, all using different technology, it can be a bit hit and miss with quality. I find Netflix, Amazon and Apple TV to be good benchmarks for image quality.
@@TheReviewFella Thanks for getting back to me. Are there any live TV platforms that don't compress their content to death?
They all use compression. As they have to cater for folks with all speeds of internet. Some seem to stream better quality than others in my opinion.
Thanks for the tips just got my 42 inch C2 at a awesome price of £799 first Oled and its awesome. Not a gamer so I skipped these picture setting but the settings for viewing tv was explained nice and simple and look great 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback. Enjoy your new TV!
Awesome vid
Thank you!
Just set these up apart from game mode settings which I used another vid for ,was looking for Netflix and Amazon settings and these look great ,rings of power looks amazing and also now have my bang and Olufsen headphones connected as well so game room is now complete ,thanks for the info as things like this can get swamped
Glad you found it useful. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
I noticed in your gaming settings you said you leave everything at default settings. I also noticed you were talking about hdr settings. Do you ever play games that are only in standard mode? I find those to be less vibrant. Do you also leave those at default as well or do you adjust your settings that aren’t in HDR?
When playing my PS5 the TV goes into HDR mode automatically for HDR games. So I don’t need to change anything.
@@TheReviewFella I understand thats probably because you have only played games that are in HDR. I have a few that aren’t in HDR. I usually put those in native or change the mode to RPG mode. I was curious if you had games that weren’t in HDR.
HI,
What is difference in between C1 and C2 because I am willing to buy LG C1? Let me know about it.
Thanks a lot.
C1 is much cheaper now. The C2 has next gen processor, improved panel, new version of WebOS and a boost in peak brightness. But I still have the 65 inch C1 as it’s a great TV.
Why won't you do your research instead of asking questions good is your friend
Really appreciate this, thanks.
You’re welcome.
I feel "standard" picture mode is the only mode that has smooth motion.. I dont know why tho
You could make any mode smooth if you want. Standard is just set to a higher smoothness that's all.
Thanks I needed this,
You're very welcome. I'm glad it helped.
Great video... thank you=)
Thank you and you’re welcome.
I noticed that most of all your settings are the same that you had with the lg C1. The only difference is in HDR. This time you prefer cinema home and on the C1 you like standard. Is there a reason for the change?
Good question. Two things here. First when making the C1 video it was early days and I perhaps didn’t understand quite as much as I do now (about picture settings). Secondly I don’t look back too much when new TVs come out. I choose what looks best to me on the TV I’m reviewing or setting up in the moment. I hope that helps. Thank you.
I just ordered the B2. Do you think these settings would somewhat carry over despite being a different panel?
Those settings should work fine. The B2 is very similar to the C2. I believe the main difference is the processor and panel type.
@@TheReviewFella awesome. Thanks for the quick response!
You’re welcome.
thank you for this
You're very welcome!

I haven't ever updated my TV. Using it fresh out the box
Amazing video. What are your thoughts on the QD OLEDs?
Thank you. I’ve not got my hands on one yet, but hoping to test soon. They look very good though.
@@TheReviewFella HDTV criticised it though!
Yes I saw that. I’d still like to see one myself.
I played switch with this settings and man this is ugly.
Not tried the Switch on this TV tbh but the PS5 looks awesome.
C2 ordered yesterday. First 4k TV. Find it all a bit daunting if I'm honest. This guide will prove to be very helpful. Thank you.
It’s a great TV. Good choice!
@@TheReviewFella didn't see the S95B until after I ordered but I'm still comfortable with my purchase. New subscriber 👍
Thank you and welcome. Good to have you on board.
So, I have had my tv now for 24hours, it’s amazing, your picture settings really make the picture sing. Disney Plus content like the new Avatar look incredible.
My only gripe is that when switching the tv on it defaults to the tuner page and says no signal, I have no way of booting up to the home page, it seems a common complaint on Google. I’m thinking of buying an Apple set too box to connect to HDMI 1 as it always defaults to the last input on switch on.
One more question, do you leave your tv on standby 24/7 ?
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve got some other videos that deal with default startup ports. Check them out they might help. I never leave anything on standby when I’m out or go to bed. I do during the day if I’m home.
I got it sorted, all I had to do was press the red button on the remote when it displayed the message about I signal and now it does not display the no signal messages and then switches to the home page.
Thanks!
You’re welcome and thank you so much!
Gotta say I bought the 55" C2 and it us utterly amazing. The dogs bollocks as they say.
It’s a great TV. I’d love the 77 inch. Currently have the 65 inch C1 and 48 inch C2.
@@TheReviewFella the 48 inch isn't as high spec as the larger ones. The 55 c2 really is incredible, I always thought samsung tv's were the best in the past but this c2 is incredible. In 4k its just stunning. I bought a qled last year but the colours were awful, with the c2 55, it really is as good as looking out if the window.
Also I only paid £900 for it which was a great deal over black friday.
Thank you so much for this very helpful fix it, 42C2 is my new PC daily driver. The menu is tricky, some settings gray out a bunch of other settings without telling you. Gaming 3090 is flawless@120Hz 4K Ultra settings. Buy this on Black Fri guys, no regerts ;-)
Glad you’re liking your TV. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Good setting 👍🏻
Thank you.
Thanks for your invaluable G2 guide & logo videos.
I have just purchased a 65" G2 and was struggling with the initial settings. I'm getting it professionally calibrated soon, it will be interesting if it improves on your guide!
You’re welcome. That’s a great TV. Enjoy!
Did the calibration improved your picture quality over these settings here? That interests me a lot.
@@TVBamBam even bought it todayhave you found something new in settings just curious to know how can I improve and get the juice out of my new g2.
@@rickysekhon5706 you can also use the settings for the C2, there are many recommendations out there for every content. SD, HDR, Dolby Vision etc.
I just got a g2 and love to.
Really appreciate
Thank you.
I have the C2& really it's great TV
Totally agree!
Yes thinking of buying one
Good choice.
@@TheReviewFella the evo gallery?
C2 and G2 are both excellent TVs. G2 comes with wall mounting only and is a little brighter. More expensive too.
Bought my Mum a C2. It arrives Wednesday. Will be following this.
Question for anyone who knows. I bought a Sonos ray for my Mum as she is slightly deaf. Can you adjust the volume of the Ray with the C2’s remote or the Sky Q remote.
Adjusting volume on an app is a bit beyond my Mum
Hope you find the settings useful.
Are these settings also recommended for the B2 model? Getting my B2 delivered next week.
Yes for sure. These settings will work fine.
