I literally sold boat loads of TV's as a sales associate (Walmart so no commission) using this guy's knowledge. I never wanted to sell products that I didn't have faith in.
If all sellers was like you:)
@@93836 why tho , you should know your product before buying dont jjst get to a tv shop and buy one lol look it up do research it still amazing me people buying products like this with no research and faith in someone who’s job is to sell you anything for the most money
Walmart doesn’t have any of the TVs he praises though
Still, ther is so many snake oil sellers out there in the world. I stod next to a seller in a big electronics store, telling a old man how much improvment 120 Hz would have on the news channel on the cable. "Much better picture flow"..
Top man.
"How Japanese hentai is censored" Explanations I can understand, subscribed.
I don't understand at all. Isn't censored pornography kind of redundant? lol
@@retropulse03illegal in Japan to show nudity I think
Since there’s no time stamps and this video is a bit lengthy, he’s basically saying the following for most people:
-4K on
-Allow YCC 4:2:2 off
-Select the 10 bit video output setting
-Select the Auto-HDR setting
-Select the Standard (Recommended) setting over PC RGB
And he also concluded that the failure to do these things might make your games appear blurry and pixelated, much like how private parts are depicted in Japanese Hentai movies.
@@Get3Blocked actually yes, but only because Microsoft kinda sucks. When you set the output too high the screen looks like crap. It COULD be that the games released so far can’t handle that output as well, but for now - this does seem to be the best settings. Btw I’ve run into not one of these issues on my PS5. Even though under the hood the Series X appears to be stronger, as of right now the PS5 is the superior machine.
@@Get3Blocked 30bits? What tv do you know is 30bits?
@@Get3Blocked are you in 2276
@@jjmah7 I have had both consoles since launch, your delusional if you think PS5 is superior. It has less power, no auto HDR, no VRR, no smart delivery. It is useful for the exclusives and that is it. I would never buy a third party game on PS5.
@@Mr_Zod some what you said is flat out incorrect, but nothing you mentioned have been shown to make it superior. Many of the major releases that have been released on both consoles have been performance tested by Digital Foundry, and almost all of them run better on PS5, they attribute a lot of the reasoning being that Sony made a custom SSD that is just better. All the other ‘power levels’ that are better on paper have yet to be fully realized as of now. Maybe they will be in the future, but as of now games both look and perform better on PS5. Maybe next time you should try to not look at Microsoft propaganda and look at the actual data results from testing before you spout out your bullshit.
Thanks for another great video. I adjusted my HDR blacks to 0 and it made a huge difference!
Love the casual mention of hentai

You are insanely informative and well educated regarding whatever it is you are talking about, so it’s easy to understand what you are saying whilst retaining and comprehending the information you are giving us! Thank you so much!!
I absolutely love the commentary as we’re going through this. Makes all the dry material much easier to palette given that it’s fun to listen to The commentary that goes along with it. Well done.
Calm, cool, and to the point. No BS. Love your content.
Vincent, I recently discovered your channel and I wanted to thank you for the amazing content you produce. It was unbelievable sitting here, listening to you talking, hearing you answering questions from comments on your other video, some that I (and many others I'm sure) had asked. You absolutely explained everything I needed to know, in a technical, yet easy to understand way. I'm a mechanic, and am just getting into the tech world so to speak, and I am grateful for content creators such as yourself. Cheers from Ontario, Canada.
This is a masterpiece of a Tech video, hands down. You're a legend man.
Big facts he brought up LG seals on oleds.... I got one c165in and i love it
This is very educational. I don't have tech background academically, but i'm an enthusiast. With your humour, i'm sold
Wow! I am incredibly grateful for the explanations coupled with the demonstrations. Absolutely fantastic! I had to subscribe! :)
I must say I actually found this very informative despite not having a CX. Particularly because I’ve always wondered what on earth YCC and colour space settings even did!
same here
This is how you make a INFORMATIONAL video great job bro sensational job on explaining the whole experience step by step
Best Video I found on UA-cam about Xbox Series X Settings for TV/Monitors. Thank you so much and best wishes from Germany!
A very useful video. They way you explain all the video options is Epic. Keep up the great work! 👍
I asked some of these questions in the comments of the last series x settings video. Thank you sir.
Thanks for showing me how to switch to a 10bit pipe. You the man.
I always watch this video over and over again, it's just so good
came for the basic content, ended up learning a lot about how new tech works, love it. Thank you for going to such length of explanation got urself a sub.
if i may ask, how can i know if my monitor is RGB full or limited ? i cant seem to find that information. I got a new monitor if anyone could help. Samsung UR55 4k freesync HDR10 monitor
Great video, really easy to follow and practically put! Very nice! Thanks :)
i learned something new today: keeping the console on 12 bits on C9 (supporting 12 bits) was outputing actually an 8 bits ... thank Vincent for the top tip of using the 10 bits. Looks like CX owners can be happy now.
I am fine but I wanted to know how to put 8 bit or 10 bit is the same thing ?? because I would like to leave 8 bit
@@marianobuonocorelive22 no 8 is not 10...hence the different number.
10 is better because more color information is passed.
You didnt say why you want to stick at 8 bit so it seems nonsensical to want less !?!?
Best tech tv image videos channels ever. Keep it up. There is digital foundry and you! Which speaks a lot!
No idea how this come into my timeline but found this very informative. Thanks
Correction on the auto HDR explanation. It does not force the TV into HDR for every game. Only select games support the auto HDR feature. SDR games that do not support auto HDR will still be SDR even with that box checked.
Ive looked into this but couldn’t find any concrete evidence. How did you find this out? Thanks
@@SnappingTurtle90 From first hand experience using my xbox. On games that do not support auto HDR or HDR your TV will not go into HDR mode. On games that do support auto HDR your tv will go into HDR mode.

When I first stumbled across HDTVtest I couldn't imagine that a channel solely dedicated to TVs could offer many interesting/fun to watch videos. (Disclaimer: I don't even own a TV and don't watch movies/series.)
But your engaging and fun way (Bing!) of presentation and in-depth knowledge made me sub .
Keep it up!
This is the best channel on earth for TV's and monitors. Learning a lot.
Thanks Vincent for the informative & interesting videos on my newly bought LG C1 65" & XboxSX..!
Now I understand from what you are telling us, things that before this was to me just gibberish. (I can now even somewhat understand what the "Host Diagnostics" & the "Freesync/VRR Info tool" is about! )
I stopped playing games on pc for these 2 main reasons. Upgrading to get the best settings and messing around with settings to make sure it runs properly. What happened to the good old days where you buy a console and just plug and play. So much calibration is now needed.
Agreed. Tbh, I found much of this video bewildering. I don't really need to know how stuff works, I just want to know which settings to enable/disable to give me the optimum picture.
@@karlsavage7495 i lay the blame with the console makers taking the consoles into pc territory. The console through hdmi should automatically give the optimum setting.
It's not needed. Most likely none of us will really see the difference. You can still just "plug and play" and have a great experience..
i know right. did they not do any r&d with the available tvs on the market?
It's not rocket science, just requires you to use a little bit of your tiny brain.
Awesome video thanks for the tips! Now I wish you would do a video on recommended in game display settings for Ubisoft games because I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to be looking at on my C9
Fantastic video. As someone who has just purchased an Xbox Series X, I’ll be using these recommended settings for my LG OLED. Thanks!!!
Thanks! Your information has made me decide to not jump the gun on a new tv. I have a 55” LG B7 and I’m just going to wait til the new year to see what comes out. It’s only 2 months away, I can do it lol.
This man is a legend. I just bought the LG CX and ran through a couple of your videos and now my setup with my Series X is hotter than a 2 dollar pistol. Thank you!!!
Lol
I had YCC 4:2:2 off and I disabled auto HDR. Thanks for the video as always ❤️
Great video as always 👌 thanks Vincent, enjoying all the gaming videos
nice analysis of console options, required bandwidth etc.
The game that sold me on HDR was Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Valhalla didn't do much in HDR, but Odyssey was extremely more playable and enjoyable in HDR. Not sure why, but you'd have to see it and play the difference to understand.
Please do these 2 videos for the ps5 with the CX when you can. Thanks!
Hey man, I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. The mix of intelligent content with a little bit of sass on the side..A+ amigo
Vincent I love this channel, thank you so much for the information, subscribed for life
Love your vids, I'm trying these tips on my CX today!
You should do a comparison of the series x with an LG CX vs. a high end gaming monitor!
Best channel on UA-cam imo 👍👍
Just discovered your channel, fantastic work!
Very insightful and well explained. Thanks!
Vincent is the only guy I can watch play about with settings for 27 minutes and not get bored and I haven't even got a series x
🤣
Very informative, thanks! I have the One X and the settings are pretty much the same. The only thing I'm doing differently is the color space: I'm using PC RGB instead of Standard because I'm using a computer monitor and not a TV. I tried both modes for a while and PC RGB looks undoubtedly better on my screen.
Same, if I’m gaming on a Monitor, then I use the PC RGB, however if I use lets say the living room TV, a Vizio, I keep it standard.
Thank you for the settings information
Saved me a lot of time

I showed this video to my friend who asked about getting the most out of his LG, it makes a night and day difference on some games and movies.
Xbox confirmed they'll support Dolby Vision for games in 2021, at this point it's only supported for Netflix and Disney+. As for HDR10+ they said they'll listen to consumers and manufacturers, and issued no further comment.
Yep, Dolby told the press this a few months back. I wish MS would add DV support for Blus too but that’s just wishful thinking.
Wooooooo yeah can’t wait
I figured can't implement that feature at launch without testing it
Only trouble with Dolby vision for games is that it doesn't use gaming mode or instant game response. So its laggy af. Using Dolby vision on series x for Netflix is super delayed on the button presses.
@@scoobyhawk9302 What do you mean? LG OLEDs have a Dolby Vision game mode separate from the HDR10 game mode.
It’s up to other manufacturers to add a DV game mode too but it’s definitely possible.
If Sonys don’t have it then I guess it’ll depend on whether they bring DV to the PS5 since I don’t see Sony adding a feature that helps out their competition.
10 bit setting triggers hdr on my TV. Since I have different settings for sdr and hdr I'd leave it 8 bit since it will switch automatically to 10 or 12 bit accordingly depending on the source. PS. Thank you for the guide though, really helpful
Thanks so much i keep playing with settings now i have a series X now I see you adjusting settings Thanks for letting me know about the range im going to full I love the deep blacks. Cheers
This man's bit depth explanation is amazing
I hate that too. If you know what I mean.
Great video. I believe the reason that the LG does not display the 12-bit color setting is because LG OLEDs are manufactured as 10-bit panels and the HDMI 2.1 ports have the same bandwidth limitations as the Series X.
No found any tv use 12bit
I have a Sony OLED 2019 Master Series and the screen doesn’t go black when I put 12-bit.

Gotta admit, most of this went right over my head.
Watched every minute of the video anyway.
Most of it was pointless.. Soo much time wasted explaining random things which was not necessary
@@f44had He takes the time to educate us on what all this stuff actually means. Not sure how that is pointless...
@@retropulse03 Explaining that setting the xbox so 60 htz will limit the TV to and games to 6p htz is pointless in the sense that it's pretty obvious. There no point in wasting time in explaining that for like 10 mins

Would love to hear your updated thoughts for the C1 now that it's got major firmware updates. Thanks!
It’s very similar or almost the same as the c9/X
awesome video. What would you recommend for someone with a C7/B7 or type of TV for settings?
Thank you sir! I just got my Series X and set it up this way but I bought a C1 which I'm happy very happy with it just need to find the settings for that TV.

Fantastic video. Thanks Vincent!
Really great video. Love your content!
Great video thanks Vincent. On an older LG OLED65B7V I’m assuming it has HDMI 2.0 so it should be better to run at 4K60 with 10 bit colour and YCC 4:2:2 enabled?
"that's a mouthful" *ding*
This guy :-D

Thank uou!
Well explained and knowledge really came through. 👏
Thank you for very in depth video!
I think it would be useful to do a similar video but using a hdmi 2.0 TV instead (e.g Sony AG9) so we know the best settings to use for displays limited to 18Gbps bandwidth.
I agree with this.
Thank you very much Vincent! Really appreciate this video. Would be very grateful as well if you could do a PS5 version and settings for the LG C9 / CX. Keep up the wonderful work!
The CO is the only display that can use all new features. The fact that sony picked forum VRR is going to be a major issue with HDR. Better off waiting two or three years until devs get familiar with the new consoles while much better displays like micro led and quantum dot oled are out. from my understanding neither essentially LCD displays with an old display in front to increase the brightness of OLED while maintaining the deep blacks. If your going to buy anything at the moment I would get a good gaming monitor as they have been building up to this for years, which is why gsynch ultra or premium is only available on the x box series x for that reason. HDR and VRR is it going to be a nightmare for the PS5. Long video but very technical details of why HDMI 2.1 does not matter at all right now.

@@JoshFisher567 why is vrr going to be a nightmare.... it is coming with an update
@@lightemup1023 our PS5 still doesn’t have VRR. Im hearing from people that know some other people in high places say, “Don’t expect VRR on PS5 for a while”, but it is being worked on. That Media Tek chip is really hurting the progress
Thanks for this comprehensive video
Love your video's, learnt so much about my C1 from all your useful information. How did you bring up the Easter egg pop up?
If You aren't using any Oled, go for 1080p at 60p and then uncheck YCC option for full 4:4:4 and then select PC RGB along with 12 Bit.. If your panel supports it. Looks amazing for any VA panel 4KUHD TV's.
How about for a VA 32” 4K 60hz lg monitor for series x ?
I can't help but wonder if the "Allow 4:2:2" option would have perhaps allowed the LG to display *something* at a 12/36-bit color depth. (Instead of dropping all the way down to 4:2:0, and failing to display anything.) Probably not, but I was a little disappointed that Vincent didn't mention whether he had tried that.
The LG TVs have a bug that calls 4:2:2 content as 8-bit even if they are 10-bit or 12-bit.
They are true 10-bit and 12-bit but the FreeSync Info secret menu has a bug.
Hello Vincent, thank you for these great video's, and I'm blow away on how much information for setting up games 👍👌.
Question: Would you recommend 32" TV over 32" Gaming monitor consider the cost 🎅, much appreciated your advice 🎉
Your information is a god send . Thank you 😊
Please make video of optimum settings for x90H. Many of us have all bought this or the cx.
AGREED!
Vincent: you gonna learn today!
It was a pleasure watching Urotsukidoji the perfect collection on my JZ2000 💕
Great video! For some reason, I found that switching screen dim from 10 minutes to two makes the screen dim in the middle of cut scenes. If you’re playing anything in story mode it will dim it after 2 minutes and you can’t see what is going on. So I put it back to ten. If you bring up the guide and let it sit, a screen saver enables and dims the screen while displaying achievements and stuff.
Thanks for letting us know!
@@hdtvtest unless that’s the asbl dimming protection on oleds that everyone goes on about.
That said, if you have it on 2-minute dimming, and it does dim in a cutscene, all you have to do is tap the controller's joystick or a button and the console won't think you're absent and will keep the screen at normal brightness.
Can you make a "best settings for hdmi 2.0" for us less fortunate people?
YES PLEASEEEE!

Thanks for the information!

I'm using the LG C9 with the latest firmware (5.00.03) and will change to PC mode to benefit from chroma 4:4:4 support.
That’s correct... I followed these recommendations for my C9 also ✌🏻👍🏻

@@quinceyvanderwesthuizen2839 Nice one bro.. tell me this.. while I have you there..
See when you press & hold the lit X button on your series x controller.. & it brings up the ‘Turn console off’ & ‘Turn controller off’ screen, well on the one X the controller always did a short rumble/vibration. Well on my series X when I press the same lit up X button to turn off etc.. there’s no rumble/vibration... not on mine anyway.. starting to think there something up with that function on mine as I heard no one else mention this online & the consoles out a week now nearly.. so no doubt it would be all other the net by now, it’s no biggie but I’m curious if it’s now the norm for series x or... not, which would mean there’s a small problem with mine??
@@Riptorn73 Mine does the same...on the one X I used to feel that rumble feeling. I know exactly what you mean, but one the XSX it’s gone or very very soft compared to the one X. There’s nothing wrong with your console. I heard other people are complaining about the disc drive being faulty but luckily mine works well.
@@quinceyvanderwesthuizen2839 yeah man.. you can feel a lil murmur where the rumble used to be.. although just before I’m writing this it did a quick rumble there when I pressed.. lol.. typical, but now it just like.. nope.. Just a little tick inside. Well I reckon a firmware update will sort it..
When I first got this last Tuesday I noticed straight away so whipped out my old elite, paired it up & it was the same so I kinda knew it wasn’t the controller but I just wanted to hear another owner’s impression one theirs. Glad it seems that that’s the way it is.. for now & not my box. Cheers mucker.
1-Can you explain better why if you disable "allow 4k" you will automatically lose HDR10? It's correlated to the bandwidth downgrade?
2-have you noticed the gamma issue problem with vrr ?
3-wouldn't be better DISABLING VRR AT ALL?
The majority of games on consoles have locked fps at 30 or 60, there is no need of a variable refresh rate technology at all, in fact i think that disabling it would benefit a better fluidity by remaining at 120 hz, the tv would repeat frames to match the frequency as it has always been on any console with any tv!
4- thanks for your work! You're the most reliable and knowledgeable person for tvs on UA-cam 🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻
Very informative, thank you.
Could you please tell me the absolute difference in HDMI PC Mode vs Console Mode input lag? (If there is) I'm using PC Mode due to your recommendation regarding 4:4:4, but I'm afraid I'm losing input lag. In FPS games like COD every ms of input lag makes an huge.. difference in your advantage during gameplay. (Obviously I'm using game optimizer mode in both cases)
I had accidentally set Standard on my Xbox One's color space, but I am playing on a monitor, and switching to PC RGB made the screen truly come to life, with much deeper blacks and higher perceived saturation in the colors. I also switched to 8 bit as my panel is only an 8 bit panel anyways, which helped my Xbox run more smoothly.
Yes I had the same experience, it's night and day different . I was asking him about that and you kinda helped me decide to stay with RBG

So I finally found and bought a Xbox Series X in a retail store (in December 2022) and stumbled across this video after doing a search on settings. My HDTV supports 4K/120 so I’m looking forward to those impressive details. I found your explanations most helpful and I’ll now make a few tweaks, especially turning off Auto HDR. Like you I also tend to like games/movies/audio as intended and don’t care to introduce artificial adjustments. I may fiddle with that setting out of curiosity to see if I notice forced HDR on a SDR game, but I’ll start with it off. Would love to know how you got all that FreeSync information to pop up on your screen. I have a Samsung HDTV and I can never find to resolution/frame rate/etc settings it’s currently displaying. If that software is native to LG tvs I’m out of luck but I hope not. Hopefully google can tell me. Appreciate your video!
This is great. Thanks Vincent. :)
