    Hey everyone! Really appreciate all the feedback comments on this one. Keep them coming! Couple of clarifications/corrections: Apparently 4K 120 with 10-bit color and 4:4:4: is possible over HDMI 2.1, even without DSC, so IF 4:4:4: chroma was supported on a console game, no trade off would be necessary, and obviously not necessary on PC for HDMI 2.1. According to Murideo, uncompressed, such a signal (with DSC) would only be 10.69 Gbps, which is only 26.72 % of 40 Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and just 22.27% of 48 Gbps HDMI. I apologize for the error. Not sure what size the uncompressed signal would be, but apparently it would fit, too.

      PS5 can do 12bit RGB HDR 4K signal in 60Hz but in 120Hz mode it has to drop to 4:2:2. Xbox can do 120Hz 10 bit RGB 4K HDR signal thanks to higher (40Gb vs 32Gb) bandwidth.

      You might also want to clarify that the Nvidia Shield has an AI upscaler that works absolute miracles on older and lower resolution content, as well as lower bitrate content like streaming services.
      I recently got an additional TV and went through multiple cheaper options before finally sucking it up and buying another Shield TV, because it really does look that much better.

    I’ve never seen an OLED look bad in a store on either demoes or movies. Even if set to vivid mode, they tend to mop the floor with the non Oled models picture wise. However, I worked at an electronics store many years ago(back in the Cathode Ray days aka when Dinosaurs ruled the Earth. 😉)that would purposely degrade the signal to TVs that they made less profit margin on in order to make the more profitable brands look better by comparison. Maybe that unsavory practice still goes on at some stores….?

      They typically look bad as they are usually more dim and also have more glar to top it off being dim with bad glar they have a vivid mode going and now the colors aren't accurate abd could be some what washed out even tho they have an agressive color on typically a lcd looks better because of less glar anf typically brighter not saying oleds look like trash but compared to lcd in stores they don't look as good I'd still pick a very good lcd over a good oled anyday I don't worry about gaming as use a pc monitor for that

    I’m old. I remember watching black and white TV’s and Technicolor movies. The cheapest OLED or LED TV made today is just shocking.
    In 1973 we bought a “dream TV console 26” color screen, record player, and all placed in a beautiful piece of walnut cabinetry. The sound was incredible! That system was $3799! A brand new luxury car cost only a little more.

      CRT displays and monitors only suffered from high resolution if you compare those by today's standards, but the organic warm and richness in colour were something to be remembered as lasting effect. Talk about those 19" 'Digital' CRT (almost flat) monitors, omg, they were just excellent to work on. Wonder how many folks here even heard or know the brand 'Digital' lol. Same with the warm natural sound of record players those dyas, I hear the same tracks in my Sennheiser M4 but that magic of listening pleasure isn't there. I've had 2 plasma TVs, LG and Samsung and I can boldly say that the pleasure of watching that inky, celloid film like natural PQ is just not there in new screen technologies. One can argue based on all the highvend specs of the today's TVs but I don't buy it. Not taking into consideration the HDR 4k of course but plain 1080p SDR physical BluRay disks.

    13:05 Ex Best Buy employee here: our store had old, OLD (im talking not even 4k) splitters for our tv demos that weren't the showcase top of the line models. I cant speak for all stores but theres a good chance that is the reason as the signal might be being sent in 1080p even if the source is 4k HDR. Not to mention all of what was said in the video about demo modes completely blowing out the image as well as practically all the effects the tv can use being enabled at once. The top of the line ones thankfully had separate sources which were truly 4k HDR, still had all the motion smoothing and everything else enabled though

    Every time I've watched a 4K Blu-ray and compared it to a streaming version of that movie on the same TV, the 4K blu-ray ALWAYS looks significantly better. Color depth, picture quality, dynamic range, etc... all of it. If you can afford a 4K Blu-ray player and 4K Blu-rays, do it.

    One thing to mention about 4K streaming sticks / boxes. If you are connecting with your own HDMI cable, make sure the cable is HDMI 2.0 or higher for a 4K TV. Otherwise, you'll be getting 1080p through the cable. Obviously, your TV will upscale the 1080p signal to fill all of its 4K pixels on the screen, but you are under utilizing your 4K device's capability.

    Bought an Apple TV 2 years ago on sale and now I love it. Most videos stream with the same media layout so forwarding and rewinding is so nice and fluid and it just looks cohesive. Videos stay loaded in the background I can be watching a show then switch to a movie to watch with others then go back to the show and it’s still there so it keeps apps loaded in the background. It’s late and you don’t want people to hear your AirPods connect seamlessly. It’s a lot of little things that add up to a big things plus the best is you aren’t inundated with all these ads on your Home Screen just a clean row of apps. Love the Apple TV

    Hey Caleb, you're probably spot on with the Video Matrix theory. I've been selling TVs for 10+ years now and our system sucks... Apparently it's not possible to split an HDMI signal 50 times affordably, so our system is using regular coax connections and it down-samples the resolution to 1080i, which looks horrible in my opinion but management wants the same feed on all the TVs. It's been a constant battle but if a customer complains or makes a comment about the picture, I just switch the TV to demo mode hahaha

It can only do 120hz with 10 bit color depth and the color subsampling does not seem to matter. If anyone would happen to know why, I am curious.

    LG OS processes things more slowly than every streaming device I've used. For example, when I watch live sports, I will always do it on the Roku Ultra or Chromecast because it's a couple seconds faster than the C1/C2. The delay builds up the longer you go without resetting the stream.

    15:20 I think most people would think Filmmaker Mode looks terrible on a show room floor, compared to super bright QLEDs and Mini LED TVs. Filmmaker Mode looks incredible in a dark room, but it's not really something that looks good in a super bright room. Most people seeing a TV in Filmmaker Mode would probably think it looks way too dark.

    IMHO material shot at higher frame rates also has the soap opera effect, though without the artifacts.
    I agree with store mode... if possible, try setting the TV to filmmaker. LG makes it really hard, because the TV switches out of the filmmaker mode within seconds, unless you keep moving the remote control like crazy. Samsung makes it even harder by not even allowing viewers to activate filmmaker in stores (thanks for that!). You'll probably need to get an employee to deactivate store mode (or go through the settings and try 0 0 0 0 as password...). There's also upscaling, sharpening and lots of improvement stuff that ruins the image.

    I stream from an NVIDIA Shield, and changing from the default YcBcr 4:2:0 10 bit to the highest available 4:2:2 12 bit shows great improvements to the color quality! I originally turned off dolby vision and HDR because it looked worse than SDR. However, after changing this setting, dolby vision and HDR looks fantastic!

      HDR never looks better than properly setup SDR sorry. Also, nothing uses 12 bit color....literally nothing other than some professional cameras.

      @@drunkhusband6257 Well, my tv doesn't support 12 bit sure, but there is no other option on the nvidia shield for 10 bit 4:2:2 and it seems to detect that and just send 10 bit down the line. Still, Dolby vision exhibits its magic once that one simple setting is changed. I will say SDR is much more consistent as mastering in dolby vision seems to be highly dependent on the studio the content came from.

    Great information thanks! Yup, physical media is going to win on quality, and no meddling censorship, plus special features & memorabilia/art -- win, win, win & win! Streaming is great for previewing film before committing to a high quality 4K transfer you're likely going to watch again. If only all films and/or TVs supported both HDR10+ & Dolby Vision, but we have war instead...

    I was always a big fan of using external streaming boxes. Yes, they all look a little different, even when viewing the same program material. But, at least for my use, I've now found that the Google TV interface built in to my Sony A80J OLED works best for me. All of the apps I need are available. The interface is speedy enough. And, to my eyes, I get the best looking Dolby Vision content on the built-in apps. I have much less problem with the "too dark" look of Dolby Vision using the TV's apps.

    I have an LG 4k/3d TV and love it. I did buy a high frame rate 4k movie: BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK. Not sure if the 3d version that it came with is in the same high frame rate though, or even if my player and/or TV can display it.
    Avatar 2 was also shot at 48fps, but not sure if the blu-ray version was released with it. Will have to look into that, as I do own it.

    Interesting to hear you say a Chromecast will often work more consistently than the built-in Google TV. Perhaps it is consistent in streaming quality, but I've been shocked how slow the Chromecast is. I've been a spoiled Nvidia Shield boy for years, but I picked up a Chromecast for travel, and it is sooooooo sluggish compared to my nine-year-old Shield.

    Hi Caleb, great video as always. Wanted to ask if you or anyone else in the chat has any idea why when streaming programs to my Sony A95K from my Apple TV 4K does the sound slowly decrease around 15-20%? When i skip forward, backward or pause and resume it seems to reset again? I have the Apple TV set to quieten loud sounds but I can’t turn it off as some loud scenes (explosions, gun fire etc) in movies really jump up significantly in volume. Thanks in advance.

    About the built-in software, I just got an LG 43" mini LED and the TV it self is great but the built-in web OS is trash almost all around it's slow and clunky and u have to sign up with LG just to watch Pluto. And the UI not only clunky and slow the it's blurry. My best bet was going and getting a Roku for the TV since I had a better experience with a TV with Roku built in. I just like the navigation and smoothness of the Roku

    Apple TV will not display Peacock's 4K shows in 4K. If I want to watch anything on Prime, I do use my Firetv Cube since I do know they don't do the Thursday night football games in HDR on some of my other devices. Its just hit and miss if the apps will allow for 4K or HDR on certain devices.

    • @JohnSmith-qt4pv
      @JohnSmith-qt4pv 5 місяців тому

      There's nothing inherent about the OLED panels that cause this, it's added intentionally. LG's control boards cause chrominance overshoot issues with WOLED panels by activating the white subpixel when they shouldn't, mostly with low bitrate 8bit content, and overcompensate by artificially lowering the black levels to hide it instead of having an option to add 10 or 12bit dithering for near blacks which solves the problem completely.
      If you have an LG OLED, slap on a test pattern and up the brightness setting to raise the black level until it's correct.
      If you're watching bitstarved content use mpv, add some mild debanding and luma clamped 12bit dithering to fix the poor near black processing issues.
      In short it's the engineers at LG not knowing how to do digital image processing correctly. Case in point, the debanding filter on LG TVs is inferior to what was being used for tv and film piracy over 10 years ago and the "clear motion" frame blending performs worse than simple bilinear interframe blending.

When image r dim in day time or if y have lights on (have kids , grandkids , lights always on) the image will appear Flat-zoom out . Vs bright image can be fresh clean pop towards u n more 3D

      The PS4 only runs 1080p unless you have the PS4 Pro? If you don't have the Pro, and your TV is 4K then you are better off buying a streaming device so that it displays 4K content when it's avaliable.
