LG C9 User Thread (No Price Talk)

what is your major source of BR content..?
i used download hollywood from YTS and south indias from tamilrockers , which format you will choose for downloading..?
You need to download the remux or the actual Blu-ray disk for English movies. They will be 50-86 gb in size.

Rajeev, change your channel during ad breaks or every 1 hour. Also, depends if you will watching in vivid/dynamic mode at max OLED light for extended period. Burn-in is a reality but overstated.

Shaiju I’m talking about Airtel Dth logo not any channel logo. Even if I change the channel the airtel logo will be static always.

Sorry, misunderstood. I haven’t used DTH since 5 years. I am not the right person to advice then :)

The newer panels are more tolerant to burn in. Plus the TV software is equipped with anti burn in technologies - pixel refresh/shift, logo luminance, etc. If it bothers you that much then LCD is an option.

For DTH usage you don’t need an oled. Since DTH is majority of your usage I assume you are going to set the tv in a bright environment. You can get very good tv’s in led/lcd range for such usage.
 
Could we share our LG OLED setting? I’ll cut the ribbon.

* you can try Colour Gamut Extended with Colour at 46/47 for better skin tones. Compare and switch as per your liking. Don’t think this applies to C9 but give it a try.

Folks, post your settings please. LG crushes blacks. How are you adjusting the display?
The brightness which is the black level settings if set correct can minimise black crush. Mine is at 49 using calibration video. It should vary panel to panel and should be at values in between 49-52. It’s not just LG I think all oled’s do have minimum black crush. I remember complaining a lot about it I’m the forum after getting the c9. Now I am quite satisfied as it’s very minimal and can be ignored
 
Could you post your full settings using my settings post as template?

Anyone has calibration equipments? Costs quite a bit but worth knowing any professional calibrators.

could u add your trumotion and other settings under expert options as well..?
I keep TruMotion off.
Sometimes when there is slight judder with certain content I turn on TruMotion, User, De-Judder 0, De-Blur 10.
E.g. my Apple TV 4K is set to 4K SDR at 60 Hz. Works fine for new The Lion King on Hotstar but not for older movies. Then I switch on above mentioned TruMotion to eliminate the judder.

Without going in to details of Hz and pulldown, there is no one setting that suits all. For sports you may want to try something else.

How do we know what is the current frame rate for the content which we are playing..?

And while watching football from hotstar , i am finding some blurness on the fast moving areas , is there any way we can reduce those..?

Good question but I do not know how to check.
Click near top left of the screen using remote shows some data but that's not too useful. I remember installing LG app on mobile and using the info option but it has been a while since I tried.

Are you using LG internal app or streaming device?
What is your current TruMotion setting when watching sports?

I am using internal Apps , Currently i kept as user and made both the values as zero
 
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
