How many clicks for the HDR of a 48-inch LG OLED C2? If I leave the sun partially visible, just before it disappears, it gives me 800 nits in some games, would this be correct? Doesn't lowering the third screen to the darkest flatten the blacks and eliminate detail? In some games it is the shadow detail, not the black point, as I have seen. Sorry for the chatter, I like the topic and I'm just trying to understand. thank you!
48 C2 clips at 800nit so it's 14 clicks just like the 55 and 65 models , also tone mapping is different from one game to another some will give 800 and other will give you more 2nd lowering the third screen to the darkest is important as this sets your minimum tone map luminance to the minimum in order to achieve the inkiest blacks possible which is very important for HDR , some games have bad HDR implementation which is why you get problems in shadows
@@SEBAII85that’s why it should be 13 clicks. 14 clivks goes over 800 nits and that causes the picture to be brighter than it should. It brightens the whole picture not just the highlights. 13 clicks first 2 and the last setting for blacks all the way down.
@@dillon599 set your tv to activate tone mapping first , then do 25 clicks for the first 2 however I don't know the settings for static tone mapping. Active tone mapping on Samsung is like dynamic tone mapping on LG and static tone mapping is like HGIG on LG
@ yea I’m using static so basically hgig I think it’s to bright on active for most games I think it’s somewhere between 15 and 17 for static I have mine on 16 I think
@ I’m thinking it’s like 1218 or that’s what rtings say I’m probably gonna just get a service remote and check it through there just don’t wanna void my warranty because I bought the extended geek squad warranty
@@dillon599 if it's around 1200 then do 17 clicks for first 2 pages that will translate to 1290nit , 16 click is 1117 which lower than your tv brightness so 17 clicks is the best option
Great video! I got a C1. I saw that my C1 got 760 nits and 13 clicks are 720 nits, 14 clicks 840 nits and 15 clicks would be 970 nits. So 15 clicks would make the sun dissapear and 14 clicks is one step before that. But 970 nits would be to high or not? Would it be not better to go on 14 clicks? This would mean that it would nearly match the brightness of my tv. Someone told me that to go all the way down (black) would be good for movies, but not for games. I'm so confused. So should i still use your settings like in the video? Thank you. :) And can i use it for all games?
Yes 970 is too high You should never go below your tv brightness and you should never set it way higher so 14 clicks is the best option You should always go all the way down to ensure you have the inkiest black in HDR otherwise the blacks will be milky You can use it for all games that support system level calibration.
@SEBAII85 Thank you. :) And you wrote in the comments that, when you use DTM ON you should always do a new hdr calibration with DTM ON in the PS5 menu. But when you calibrate it with DTM ON, the picture is brighter, do i still do it in the same way like HGIG? (One step before the sun dissapears) I have this situation with Wukong right now. HGIG is to dark and the lighthing and black level floor IS broken in this game. Very difficult....Thank you for your help. :)
@@antonioraimondo205 no DTM is different than HGIG you should do 25 clicks exactly because we need to achieve between 3800 to 4000 nit which what work best for these tvs I also believe that black myth wukong doesn't have HDR support on PS5 , if you are getting HDR that means your PS5 HDR settings set to always on which is bad , keep it at on when supported
@@SEBAII85 Yes, this game got no HDR. This HDR thing is actually not so complicated, but i don't want to chance that, for almost every game. Let's hope that they will bring tv's with ai, that will do it for you in the future. ^^
@@antonioraimondo205 this is only an issue with C model due to this tvs low brightness if you have the G3 OR G4 then you can always keep it on HGIG , no need for DTM due to the high brightness of the G3 and G4 which is about 1500nit.
Thank you for this video, super helpful, so going fourth would you use dtm or hgig? I just brought a g4 oled, but some people complain that hgig looks dim and to use dtm and then others says hgig looks better and not to use dtm, obviously I do not want to be switching between both mods as I would need to recalibrate every time, so what do you use normally? And I guess keep hdr on when supported not automatic.
@@Noble3781 if you have G3 or G4 use HGIG because the brightness of these tvs are high enough for HGIG and yes keep HDR on when supported I prefer DTM on the C and B series
I have the Panasonic LZW2004 which doesn't support HGIG. What setting you would recommend? Thr TV has teo Option one for HDR "normal" or "clipping" which you can srt to 1000 so the sun on the PS5 HDR calibration dissapears on the 15. click. Or I can go with DTM then the sun dissapears on the 24. click. Ingame I don't see any difference. Can you help?
@@burakyilmaz1273 for HGIG chose clipping to 1000 and do 15 clicks. For DTM choose normal HDR and do 25 clicks but this is just my guess in theory , I never tested Panasonic
@SEBAII85 thank for your answer. So you think that clipping to 1000 is the same as HGIG although the Panasonic doesn't support HGIG? And what happens when I play games which doesn't use the consoles HDR calibration?
Yes it's very close to hgig For games that don't support system HDR calibration they will have their own calibration settings, for accuracy chose clipping to 1000 and then calibrate with the game built in HDR settings
@@SEBAII85 thank you. One last question. If I choose clipping at 1000 there are still 3 HDR tone mapping options: Dynamik On Off I need to select "off", is that right?
Thanks for explaining how it works, it's easy to follow. However, I got a question for you I'm hoping you can answer: how can I safe a certain picture profile so I can switch from a HDR game to a non - HDR (autoHDR) game or to a setting for watching movies from my PC? I don't want to tweak settings every time I do something else. What is the best way to go about that?
Thanks for watching, unfortunately windows 11 does not support native switching between SDR and HDR content , so you will have to switch off HDR manually from windows display settings when playing SDR content , however there are third party open software you can use for this purpose from GitHub.com also Auto HDR in windows means forcing HDR on games that doesn't support native HDR
Hi there thanks for the upload, I also have the lg c3, does it matter what size screen it is? I’m using a 65”. Would love to know how many clicks for both DTM and Hgig. Thank you!
Hey, I want to use ps5 HDR on my gaming monitor , I have a LG 48GQ900-B. What hdr setting do you recommend for me cus on the main ps5 menu the screen is a bit too dark, but when I turn HDR off the color are bright and looking good.
The problem with your monitor is that it has an aggressive automatic dimmer that kicks in very fast which limits the HDR brightness also the HDR brightness itself isn't bright enough for HDR but regardless , turn off smart energy in your monitor , also try to use HDR with 60fps not 120fps and see if it's help with the color you can change that from the PS5 screen and video settings , disable 120fps
@vegaskidd555 Yes, that's true. Your tv max nit is 800 whether you're on dtm or hgig. Calibrating hdr with dtm will blow out the highlights, so use hgig when you do it.
Thanks for explaining in detail the settings, good video. Although I have a question, the calibration for hgig and dynamic tone that I set on the ps5 and pc works for the Lg G4 TV? I ask this because this tv has more nits(between 1400/1500) and I wonder if this amount will affect or not in some negative way the dynamic tone settings on pc and ps5.
