LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

I kept flip flopping and I'm going to go back to my original line of thinking...I'll wait till next year's OLED models. If I'm going to spend the money to get that tv, I'm going to want it with zero compromises. I don't want to put blind faith in LG patching in lower input lag in HDR than the current fluctuating 40-60ms.

This also gives me time to save up for the 65" instead of the 55". But after watching countless videos, I definitely want an OLED panel for my next TV and I'm hoping LG brings it next year for us gamers. Back to my JU7500 I go.

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Question about game mode. Should I be setting up my cable to run in movie mode and then game mode for the PS4? I guess I'm just figuring out how to do it. I'm no good at messing around with settings.

I guess what I'm asking is will each input automatically go to say move mode for tv and game mode for the PS4?

Also should I have HDR+ mode on? It looks like it changes the whole picture mode itself.

Which TV do you have? I know the Sammy's you can set each input to its own settings. Something along the lines of Apply to All Sources and Apply to This Source.

Samsung KU6500. I see you can choose all inputs or the current one, but when I switch back they just stay the same. But then when I turn on game mode it won't let me turn on HDR+

Ok, I think I got it to separate the modes by input. I'm not sure I like movie mode with cable. It seems so washed out and dark.

When it lets me choose HDR+ in special viewing mode, it changes picture mode from movie to HDR+ mode. So that's kinda confusing.

You need to turn on UHD Color to ON for each input you want to run HDR through. As far as saving the settings, I'm not sure. I've never had an issue on my Sammy from last year. What I did is set my Input 1 to my cable and did Movie Settings recommended by rtings. I applied those settings to all sources. I made Input 2 my PC and turned down brightness and applied to only that source.

Then 3 and 4 I did as my PS4 and Xbox, respectively. I used the Xbox calibration menu to do my Input 4 settings with but the first thing I did was turn on Game Mode in the General settings for Input 4. Then calibrated it, applied it to only that source and copied those same settings for my PS4 Input 3, also Game Mode first.

I have my cable in HDMI 1 and PS4 in HDMI 3. I tried turning the UHD color on for HDMI 3 but it says this function is not available. Its like HDR is a whole other picture mode or something.

Sorry, I really have no idea what I'm doing and appreciate the help.

Does it say this function is not available on the TV or on the PS4? Do you have a Pro or a vanilla PS4?

On the TV. I have the vanilla PS4. I know I can't use HDR on it without the pro. I'm just wondering why I can't turn it on through the tv. Could it be input 3 doesn't support it?

I have to say, game mode in the PS4 UI looks stunning. But my cable doesn't look all that great. Kinda washed out, dark and reddish. I turned it to standard picture mode because I really didn't like movie. I used RTINGS calibration for movie mode. Maybe I need to find values for standard?

Because the vanilla PS4 doesn't have true HDR and neither does that model of TV, that is probably why you're running into issues there. The PS4 doesn't have HDMI 2.0 so the TV probably won't let an HDR signal through.

I would still use game mode for the PS4 and I can PM you my settings I have if you'd like. We have similar TVs. As for cable, I used the rtings settings myself but admittedly it was too dark for me. Try bumping the backlight up until the picture looks better to you. Give it a week. I did when I got the TV and I can't go back.

Thanks man. And yeah, I'd love if you could PM me your settings. I knew this tv didn't have "true" HDR, but it did say it still does make the picture better, just not to the point of some of the high end tv's. I'm ok with that for what I paid. I really didn't have much choice because of budget. So I have to live with it. lol

You would get a better picture if you had a PS4 Pro or Xbox One S. The TV you got, for the price you paid, is a great 4K set. I'd personally feel alot better buying that Sammy over alot of similarly or even higher priced sets. Long story short it's not the TV that's holding you back from getting that better picture, it's the source. In this case the Vanilla PS4.

I'll PM you my PS4 settings which I basically copied from the Xbox One settings I have after using its terrific built-in calibration menu.

Thank you. I'm watching 4K youtube videos on it now and my jaw is on the floor.

One last question. Can you think of any reason I can't HDMI UHD color to enable on the other inputs besides HDMI 1?

Your cable box might be the only one that has an HDMI 2.0 input. It could also be the only input that supports it but that'd be very un-Sammy-like.

Edit: I had a similar reaction when I first watched 4K content on my Sammy when I got it for Christmas. It's one thing to see content in store. When it's sitting at home in front of your face? Jaw-dropping indeed.

Edit 2: just went on rtings.com, it appears UHD Color setting is in fact only available on Input 1. Surprised. What I would do if I were you is hook up the PS4 to it. I think you'd get more out of it personally. Just personal opinion though.

Wish me luck! About to attempt a price match on a KS8000. I don't imagine I'll have success, but have to go return an item anyways so I might as well try.

What at BB? Are you trying to get them to price match amazon or something?
