Brilliant video! On the C4/C5, what setting/parameter stops a football from juddering in mid-air during a live game? If a player hoofs it upfield, for example, I get this weird shimmering effect as the ball travels through the air - hope you can help, thanks!

Have we got Dolby Vision on or off with these settings? On Xbox, not sure if PS5 has it.

What are your settings for sports? Also, can you make something like this for the G6?

I previously had a Sony A8H and just got an LG G5 and I find the Dolby vision filmmaker mode and actually every mode doesn't achieve true black, so I find that I need to drop the black level down to between 42 and 47, why would this be the case?

I have a question. If use your video for setting up the LG C5 with my PS5, do I just leave it on those settings when I watch movies..?

Can someone help a novice? After switching the EQTF to ST2084 I did not see HDR pop notification on the top right. Also when I went to switch, it was already on FILMMAKER mode. Is this unusual or an issue of any kind? Thanks.
@Ccrary35My control doesnโt have numbers to enter that special code
@sergiogomez6@hdtvtest have a problem, I have an Xbox series X, I use Ruipro fiber 2.1 ultra high res hdmi cable, all connected to the lg oled77g5โฆ. Somehow i get black screen often when changing between games and home, also i play hdr because it seems impossible to go 120hz 4k dolby vison, no starts! So only on 60hz it works or how i play now, on hdr, vision is disabled on xbox. How can I get everything working again, it did on my lg c1โฆ.
@FlorisSchouteni just upgraded from a 65" CX to a 77" G5 and SDR seems quite worse. Lots of pixelation and artifacts. I have tried his settings and Rtings but not any better. Is it the larger TV, bad panel or just the G5?
@bostongmw2851Hi thank for this usefull video. I have one trouble the filmmaker mode is unavailable in dobly vision on lg cx. Is due to content ? I try on the borough in Europe don't have toxic town for calibrate mode. Thank for your answer
@sethix2399Hi Vincent, just bought the LG G6 55" and looking for settings to make the SDR picture better. This video helped. Iam still struggling with the standard channels such as Calendar News and 5 Star. any suggestions would be great.
@pgtips7818Vincent how do I input 1113111? Please
@victormontes9387Where can I download free 4k test pictures for change tv settings for the best view?
@AndreasNater81When viewing cricket on JioHotstar HDR via my LG C5, I've noticed that the ball's motion appears less than fluid, particularly after being struck. Are there any recommended settings adjustments to address this?
@schandran7So basically if you want warm jittery piss thatโs accurate and looks not good use this if you want natural but still has good colour leave it on standard and adjust very small things
@Dingle18Does it change to what you set automatically when viewing hdr SDR Dolby videos then
@Dingle18My 2025 G5 doesn't have numbers on its remote ๐ how do I go to this HDR override menu?
@ragzzytvWould you explain to me (like I am a 5 year old please ๐คฃ) why you recommend turning the sharpness off in all 3 modes?? Thank you so much!
@brendaryder8745Some Dolby Vision content, such as House of Dragons on HBO Max, is entirely too dark to watch with these settings. I have to set it on the Cinema Home and adjust everything in order for dark scenes to be watchable.
Is there any way to force streaming content from LG apps to switch from one output type to another? Regular HDR looks better (brighter) than DV in these cases.
Anyone else do max sharpness instead I feel like 0 makes it blurry?!
@KronicallyYes if u want a dim picture listen to Vincent and av forum and all the rest who advise Filmmaker mode. Looks like Vincent is too lazy to look for a decent picture
@raybuchan8298Pls no one use this guys settings bro said no sharpness put 0 if ur watching content and ur off angle it would look wierd you put sharpness on 25 to get a viewing of any angle idky people turn that off๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ that alone showed me enough of his bs settings you wonโt get the best out of these settings ๐
@JaysGaming01What about SDR gaming? What brightness level is recommended?
@Happy-f6x2pHi Vincent for panel brightness, you suggest to put it under 40 correct ?
@GianFilipelliHi Vincent for the HDR, I do not use HDMI, I watch directly through the TV with an app from LG, how do I force open the menu ?
Thank you
What sharpness for PS5 Pro? 0 or 10? Thanks!!
@funkeeper86732:17 warm 140?
@2026-h8sFilmaker mode add a yellow tint and make colour fader.0
@returnOfNo1Anyone know how to access signal mode menu on LG G5 ??? 1113111 doesnโt work
@Phil_T861:54 Why not keep the brightness at 100? Doesn't it make the video worse?
@Pritchie45An issue I'm running into on my LG C1 OLED is when playing Dolby Vision content I don't have a "Film Maker" picture mode as an option. It's automatically set to "Cinema". Does anyone know how I can fix this?
@jessiahd.6143I changed the ETOF to "ST2084" but it's not forcing my TV into HDR mode. I don't get the HDR in the top right like in the video and it looks like all my picture settings are still setup from SDR. Any ideas?
@jessiahd.6143I can't get ST2084 to run HDR for some reason
@isayasbashiri5371Thank you sir ๐๐
On LG G5 the most faithful modes seem to be either Filmmaker mode (best one for HDR, sometimes slightly less for SDR) and Dark Room mode with little color temperature fixing (best one for SDR in darkness or faint light). Cinema and Gaming mode can boast excellent out of the box delta E (thus fidelity) too, but may perhaps vary according to light conditions and content.
what that the 42"?

@boismiOn the newer LG OLED TVs there is another custom picture mode. Which is called Personalized picture (bright and colorful). That said, should you still choose filmmaker mode?
@ProollyAny specific settings used for sports channels
@armytruck08Are these settings still good for the lg G5?
@stoop40Why do you disable force HDR mode later on in your tutorial? The mode that is set with the secret menu and turning EOTF to ST2084. If it's going to output ST2084 in HDR mode, then I'm assuming this is only beneficial for SDR content?
@infra1Thanks for the settings tips. But as a photographer and actualy just as an normal media viewer i can not see or understand how a 40-50 setting to Warm side would be the correct one or even concider โfilmmakerโ setting. Every media from any source or platform that you would feed the TV with would be delivered with a quite large portion of yellow tone. Its quite easy to see in an news feed wich i asume is recorded in a somewhat neutral lighted studio. All Youtube content is yellowish and so on. Would it not be more correct to have the tv or whatever viewing devices used to be set as neutral in temperature as possible. Allowing the media played to be shown as intended?
@mikaelhylander6321I have a LG C5. My controller doesnโt have the number panel.. what do I do?
@DerekMonickFollowed the steps but the filmmaker mode just stays at 100 brightness regardless of switching between sdr and hdr content, anyone had this issue?
@christeUXUIBuy a new tv and turn off everything??
Just ignore dolby vision settings like precision detail etc.
Ignore Cinema Home?
With your settings there is NO point buying a expensive TV's.
Un aiuto per settare il Panasonic z95b
@Claudio-t6l1zFor the life of me I cannot fathom why people don't set it to its Max brightness possible all the time every time regardless of viewing environment that's why I did the TV I want it to sear my retinas in a dark room!
