jehurey 3,318 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Like, are you judging the television's picture by like.............watching a regular cable channel or something? The first thing you're going to realize is.........this tv requires GORGEOUS, cutting edge video content in order to truly show you just how amazing it is. And, its probably the built in "store demo' mode that is the only video content that will show that for you, right now. Because your 1080i video coming from your cable box is not going to do it, although when you see a commercial with alot of white background or alot of bright colored background, it really stands out. I think you can actually download LG video store demos online and put that on a flash drive and transfer them to the tv to watch those. (your tv should come with about 4GB of storage space). There was this one video of footage of old buildings being lit up at night that was ST-UN-NING. It feels like you're staring at the building with your naked eye. Link to post Share on other sites

I have the top Netflix plan and tried a bunch of custom videos on YouTube. The picture and tv are fantastic I just feel hdr makes everything look worse Honestly the vivid setting looks better than hdr content Having to watch promo content is not ideal lol Edited October 31, 2020 by ghostz life matters Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, the promo content is ideal. because Youtube and Prime Video are low-bitrate "4K" streams that will not come close to real 4K UHD content that you would get from a UHD blu-ray or a next-gen gaming platform. And, its better to seek out Dolby Vision content than regular HDR10 content. Netflix doesn't have Dolby Vision. And Prime Video has certain things in Dolby Vision. But its ridiculous, for example they have Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan listed, but they a second listing for Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan in 4K, and even then, Season 1 of Jack Ryan is not in Dolby Vision, its only certain episodes in Season 2.

Netflix has Dolby vision, it pops up in the top right when I watch a video. and yeah I agree about YouTube Link to post Share on other sites
Long Ball Larry 1,362 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think Dolby vision is overrated as well tho, I’d rather turn it off but I don’t think I can Link to post Share on other sites

The only times I don't like HDR is when I'm playing a video game and its actually making me feel sleepy, and the HDR is making me feel like I need to turn off the tv and go to sleep. But that because I'm actually tired. Link to post Share on other sites

And it goes into those cinema modes because its faithfully reproducing the color and brightness for movies. Link to post Share on other sites

To me, it’s not even close the problem is .. how do I turn hdr off? I’d rather just use regular vivid and not be locked into the hdr version of vivid if I’m playing hdr content Link to post Share on other sites
