LG G6 Firmware 43.21.98 - THE SDR GAME CHANGER — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:01Okay, I can't wait to share this with
2. 0:03you.
3. 0:04Real quick, I just finished the
4. 0:06calibration today.
5. 0:07Actually, my calibrator just went home
6. 0:09and used it [music] on his G6. Although
7. 0:12he already has a 3D look up table
8. 0:15uploaded to his G6, he still wants to
9. 0:17use uh
10. 0:19this new trick or new um
11. 0:22>> [snorts]
12. 0:22>> firmware calibration method that uh
13. 0:26newly introduced by LG in HDR.
14. 0:29But before that, let's get to uh some
15. 0:32quick HDR updates. So, for HDR,
16. 0:35basically, you just follow my um
17. 0:38previous settings
18. 0:40for from firmware 4.79.
19. 0:43That's 43.21.79.
20. 0:47Uh the only change is that you change
21. 0:49your
22. 0:51>> [snorts]
23. 0:51>> um low points uh in white balance
24. 0:55from [snorts] previously, I think -15
25. 0:58for DTM off
26. 1:00to -20. And that's it. The DTM on
27. 1:03settings in Filmmaker are the same.
28. 1:05For the game mode this time, um it's
29. 1:09completely
30. 1:10off.
31. 1:12Which means the 60 [music] and 70% um
32. 1:14delta E
33. 1:15um RTP in grayscale is very high to the
34. 1:18point that I don't think it's uh at
35. 1:21least for this firmware
36. 1:23really usable unless you enjoy the
37. 1:26uh really brightened um
38. 1:2860 and 70% stimulus.
39. 1:32We've tried using 10.24.2
40. 1:35and dial, but uh we can't achieve uh
41. 1:38accurate EOTF, unfortunately. So, uh
42. 1:42if you uh are in enjoy of a game
43. 1:45optimizing mode,
44. 1:47you may want to try out a Filmmaker mode
45. 1:50this time uh using my settings.
46. 1:53Um but um yeah, I I mean, as far as the
47. 1:57grayscale is concerned, that one is uh
48. 1:59not good this time. [music] So, that's
49. 2:01the
50. 2:02bad news. [snorts] But, if you have been
51. 2:03using a a Filmmaker Mode and you don't
52. 2:06mind a little bit more of latency than
53. 2:09um
54. 2:09you should continue to use a Filmmaker
55. 2:11Mode in HDR.
56. 2:14Refer to my previous video. The link is
57. 2:16in my description.
58. 2:19So, let's get to the good part.
59. 2:22So, what makes SDR calibration different
60. 2:25from the past is I think they introduce
61. 2:28a whole new thing that's previously I
62. 2:30think only
63. 2:31available on Panasonic TVs. And that
64. 2:34calibrators said after they've
65. 2:36introduced [music] the settings,
66. 2:37the LG G6
67. 2:40is actually having the most accurate
68. 2:45grayscale in SDR he has seen.
69. 2:48Even like rifling um some previous uh
70. 2:52Panasonics that he has calibrated
71. 2:54including the Z
72. 2:5695B and Z95A.
73. 3:00So, let's get to it.
74. 3:03Um
75. 3:04Of course, it's panel specific, but uh
76. 3:06since my calibrator has actually applied
77. 3:08the same settings to his G6.
78. 3:11And he finds it like this pretty much on
79. 3:14point. I think there's just one or two
80. 3:16values that uh
81. 3:17slightly different. So, I think this
82. 3:20should apply to most people as well to
83. 3:23owners of G6 at least.
84. 3:25So, these are your SDR settings. So, we
85. 3:28are looking at actually 100 nits SDR.
86. 3:31So, we calibrate We suggest you
87. 3:33calibrate in two modes.
88. 3:36>> [snorts]
89. 3:37>> Expert Dark Space Night uh for 100 nits.
90. 3:40So, we go with this first.
91. 3:42Which is uh what you should use in a
92. 3:44dark room
93. 3:46for SDR.
94. 3:49For brightness,
95. 3:5116. Uh let me zoom in.
96. 3:55And maybe um
97. 3:58Let's zoom in a little bit first.
98. 4:05>> And then I should turn the camera.
99. 4:21This way.
100. 4:25Okay. OLED pixel brightness 60.
101. 4:29Uh contrast 57, black level 50.
102. 4:34Auto dynamic contrast off.
103. 4:37The gamma should be 2.4. That's BT.1
104. 4:41BT.18
105. 4:4386.
106. 4:44The black detail zero, video range
107. 4:46limited.
108. 4:49>> [snorts]
109. 4:49>> And then we go to color.
110. 4:53Color depth at 50.
111. 4:55For SDR, color gamut auto detect,
112. 4:58[music] tint zero.
113. 4:59Fine tune. Let's start with red.
114. 5:07Adjust saturation is minus one, tint
115. 5:10three.
116. 5:11Luminance 15.
117. 5:16Next up is green.
118. 5:19Seven, four, nine.
119. 5:23Blue.
120. 5:25Minus one, zero, six.
121. 5:30Cyan.
122. 5:32Five, oh, eight.
123. 5:38Magenta.
124. 5:40Two, one, eight.
125. 5:45And then lastly, yellow.
126. 5:50Would be two, three, nine.
127. 5:54Okay.
128. 5:55And then we go to white balance, which
129. 5:58is the gist.
130. 6:00This calibration I will show you what
131. 6:02I've introduced in this firmware. But
132. 6:04first, let's go to two points.
133. 6:09The lows are 5 3
134. 6:1414.
135. 6:18And the high values are
136. 6:20negative 27
137. 6:23negative 16
138. 6:25and negative 20.
139. 6:30And of course, your um
140. 6:32color temperature should be 140.
141. 6:37And then, we go to 10 points.
142. 6:45So, apart from the usual
143. 6:47red, green, and blue adjustments,
144. 6:49they've introduced
145. 6:51a just brightness level
146. 6:54at the selected signal level.
147. 6:59Which means that it corresponds [music]
148. 7:00to the gamma like
149. 7:02uh
150. 7:03like
151. 7:0410% adjustments uh 10% [music] steps
152. 7:07adjustments.
153. 7:08So, it's a very easy to tune
154. 7:12each signal level's brightness.
155. 7:15In the past, we would have to like uh
156. 7:16maybe push all three colors
157. 7:19or minus all three colors in order to
158. 7:21achieve some kind of the luminance, and
159. 7:23it's not very linear. But, now, we have
160. 7:25this value to adjust, so it will be
161. 7:28>> [sighs]
162. 7:29>> quite linear.
163. 7:31So, we'll just go to 10
164. 7:3410% first.
165. 7:36Select your signal level 10.
166. 7:38And then, you come out and
167. 7:41adjust your brightness level would be
168. 7:42seven for 10% level.
169. 7:45And then, your red, [music] green, and
170. 7:46blue will be 0 0 and 1.
171. 7:52Okay, 20%.
172. 7:56Your brightness level should be six, and
173. 7:59then red, green, and blue should be
174. 8:000 1 2.
175. 8:0730%.
176. 8:11Brightness level at three, and then your
177. 8:13color values at 2 0 1.
178. 8:1840% signal level
179. 8:20Adjust brightness level at minus two.
180. 8:24And then five, three, and three are your
181. 8:27red, green, and blue values.
182. 8:30Signal level 50
183. 8:36Adjust brightness level at the selected
184. 8:38signal level at two.
185. 8:41And then red, green, blue would be 2 0
186. 8:432.
187. 8:4660%
188. 8:50Adjust brightness level before.
189. 8:53And then your red, green, blue would be
190. 8:55minus one, minus two, and minus five.
191. 9:0270%
192. 9:05Adjust brightness level negative two.
193. 9:07And then your red, green, blue should be
194. 9:08one, zero, minus three.
195. 9:1480%
196. 9:17Adjust brightness level minus three.
197. 9:20And then red, green, blue should be 2 0
198. 9:22-1.
199. 9:25And then 90%
200. 9:31Adjust brightness [music]
201. 9:33minus four. And then
202. 9:35minus one, zero, and three.
203. 9:39And finally we come to 100%.
204. 9:45Adjust brightness level zero. And then
205. 9:47minus two,
206. 9:49zero, six.
207. 9:51So, at 100% it will let you select the
208. 9:54show brightness level at maximum
209. 9:57>> [snorts]
210. 9:57>> signal level. And we have measured
211. 10:01um
212. 10:01based on this brightness and contrast uh
213. 10:04setting to be
214. 10:06uh 103 [music] nits with this
215. 10:08adjustment. So, you can when you are at
216. 10:11100%
217. 10:13you can set this to 103.
218. 10:15Of course, it will be there will be
219. 10:18panel variants and there may be a few
220. 10:19nits
221. 10:21plus or minus, but that's the setting
222. 10:24for your 100 nits SDR.
223. 10:27So, next up we go to [music]
224. 10:32expert
225. 10:34bright space and that's your 200 nits
226. 10:37setting.
227. 10:38So, if you're in the bright room,
228. 10:40you may want to use this
229. 10:42maybe for gaming as well. By the way, do
230. 10:44you do try to watch a show on the
231. 10:48settings I've just shared, not just uh
232. 10:50play a game in SDR. I think
233. 10:53you will really
234. 10:55notice uh the difference uh when you
235. 10:57watch a show. I think I think that that
236. 11:00looks
237. 11:01kind of insane. I mean,
238. 11:04when compared with
239. 11:06uh with uh TV calibrated with
240. 11:08uh 3D look up table, I think it gets
241. 11:11really close,
242. 11:12if not the same. I mean, at least in
243. 11:14terms of the gray scale.
244. 11:16Uh
245. 11:17the [music] color accuracy in the
246. 11:20saturation sweep is uh still a little
247. 11:22bit off
248. 11:23compared with the S95B, but I think um
249. 11:27yeah, the gray scale itself really puts
250. 11:29it ahead
251. 11:31in um SDR
252. 11:34um like the the brightness level. So,
253. 11:37without further ado, let's come to the
254. 11:39200 nits settings. Brightness
255. 11:4245 for OLED pixel brightness, contrast
256. 11:46at 57, black level 48.
257. 11:53And then gamma BT.1886,
258. 11:57near black detail at zero.
259. 12:01And video range uh you can set it to
260. 12:03auto or limited uh depending on your
261. 12:05source. If you're watching something,
262. 12:07watching TV you should
263. 12:09>> [music]
264. 12:09>> usually you should you set it to
265. 12:10limited, but you can leave it auto.
266. 12:13Uh motion I care off.
267. 12:15Your colors, color depth at 50.
268. 12:19Color gamut at auto detect.
269. 12:22Tint at zero, fine tune.
270. 12:25Let's start start with red.
271. 12:30Zero, minus five, and positive five.
272. 12:35All your red values, and then green.
273. 12:39Three, four, and seven.
274. 12:42Blue.
275. 12:44Minus one, four, and three.
276. 12:49Cyan.
277. 12:50Five, one, six.
278. 12:56And then magenta.
279. 12:59Two, two, and five.
280. 13:04Finally, yellow.
281. 13:06Two, four, and five. All your values.
282. 13:10So, that's for the fine tune values. Um
283. 13:13Of course, remember to select use a
284. 13:16selection.
285. 13:17So, that you can make these values into
286. 13:20your set.
287. 13:21And then, finally, white balance. We
288. 13:24start with two points.
289. 13:29Your high
290. 13:31should be
291. 13:32negative 27, minus 16, and minus 20.
292. 13:38And your low
293. 13:41five, three, and 14. [music]
294. 13:46Let's go to
295. 13:4910 points.
296. 13:52Uh let's go to 10% first. Yeah.
297. 13:5610% single level.
298. 14:00Adjust brightness 13.
299. 14:03And then red, green, blue at minus two,
300. 14:05minus one, and one.
301. 14:09And then
302. 14:1120%.
303. 14:14Adjust brightness nine.
304. 14:17Oh.
305. 14:18And red green blue at zero minus one
306. 14:22four.
307. 14:25>> [snorts]
308. 14:27>> And then your 30%.
309. 14:32I just brightness at four.
310. 14:35Red green blue at 100.
311. 14:39>> [snorts]
312. 14:40>> 40%.
313. 14:43Minus one for brightness and then 530.
314. 14:49>> [snorts]
315. 14:51>> 50%.
316. 14:53Minus one for brightness
317. 14:56and 10
318. 14:59negative five.
319. 15:0360%.
320. 15:06Brightness at minus three.
321. 15:09Zero minus two minus five.
322. 15:1470%.
323. 15:17Minus eight.
324. 15:1810 minus three.
325. 15:2380%.
326. 15:26Minus three for brightness.
327. 15:2900 minus two.
328. 15:3590.
329. 15:37Just brightness at zero.
330. 15:40106.
331. 15:43And finally at 100% signal level,
332. 15:47we have brightness at zero.
333. 15:50And then [music] red green blue at three
334. 15:53014. [snorts]
335. 15:56And at 100% you can adjust the show
336. 15:59brightness level at maximum.
337. 16:02Uh you should adjust it to 205 and but
338. 16:05that's just the measurement of my
339. 16:07screen. [music] So,
340. 16:08you again you may be uh feeling this uh
341. 16:11different, but uh 205 is for for my
342. 16:13screen's uh measurement.
343. 16:16Yeah, do try it on
344. 16:18uh
345. 16:19uh
346. 16:20when you're watching your like normal
347. 16:22non-HDR TV
348. 16:23>> [music]
349. 16:24>> show,
350. 16:25uh watching sports or whatever.
351. 16:27Uh whatever you you use in SDR, which is
352. 16:31I think most of the cases, right? If you
353. 16:33are using it as a living room TV,
354. 16:36uh yeah,
355. 16:38I think it [laughter]
356. 16:39>> [gasps]
357. 16:39>> looks really good now. I mean, even
358. 16:41without a professional calibration, I
359. 16:43think you can get close. Of course,
360. 16:46there's panel variance. My white balance
361. 16:48may not 100% apply to yours.
362. 16:51So, uh take it with a grain of salt
363. 16:54always. And the best base always to
364. 16:56apply a 3D lookup table
365. 16:58uh via professional calibration, of
366. 17:00course.
367. 17:01But, with these new settings, I think
368. 17:03most people with [music] this TV
369. 17:06can get pretty close to like a reference
370. 17:09grayscale in in SDR
371. 17:12if and only if they can improve uh the
372. 17:16color accuracy and saturation. And this
373. 17:18will
374. 17:19be the like ultimate TV. I think it
375. 17:22really would beat the S95 actually, no
376. 17:24doubt, if it can achieve that kind of
377. 17:27accuracy. Right now, I think uh for like
378. 17:30uh color
379. 17:32saturation sweeps or the um
380. 17:34color checker,
381. 17:36the S9 S95H 2 has the upper hand. I
382. 17:40think even out of the box S95 S95H
383. 17:44um
384. 17:45uh delta E's is
385. 17:47close to or below one.
386. 17:49Uh whereas for
387. 17:51this set, I think it's on 1.something
388. 17:52[music]
389. 17:53still, and the maximum is around It's a
390. 17:56little bit above three
391. 17:58uh even after the fine-tuned
392. 18:00calibrations, but the grayscale is to
393. 18:03die for.
394. 18:05And as I my calibrator has said, he's
395. 18:07never seen such thing as accurate as
396. 18:10this
397. 18:11because such as of this new setting
398. 18:14introduced in this firmware by LG.
399. 18:16I think going forward, I think LG has a
400. 18:18have a solid chance of winning SDR
401. 18:21in future shootouts
402. 18:23if they keep improving.
403. 18:26Okay, that's it for this video. Hope you
404. 18:28find it useful. I really enjoy this TV
405. 18:31now in SDR, not going to lie.
406. 18:34Just go and watch some SDR content with
407. 18:37these settings and let me know, please.
408. 18:39>> [gasps and sighs]
409. 18:39>> I'm I'm really stoked and and I hope you
410. 18:42like this and I know this white point
411. 18:44may not be for everyone. Some people may
412. 18:47prefer it a little bit like a more
413. 18:49yellow or greener D65, but I've turned
414. 18:51it to
415. 18:52an alternative white point, which
416. 18:55I'm not sure if everyone will like it. I
417. 18:57think most people will
418. 18:59try to stay away from green a little, so
419. 19:03but that's just me.
420. 19:04Let me know your thoughts. If you want a
421. 19:07calibration to like exact D65 setting,
422. 19:10let me know, but
423. 19:11>> [snorts]
424. 19:11>> I don't think that works because there's
425. 19:13always some kind of metamerism in all
426. 19:16that tuning, so I don't think just
427. 19:18strictly tuning the TV to a D65 even
428. 19:21after
429. 19:23applying [snorts] a spectral correction
430. 19:25to the colorimeter would do it justice,
431. 19:27so
432. 19:28yeah,
433. 19:30I'm quite happy with this white point
434. 19:32actually, but I but yeah, that's just
435. 19:35me.
436. 19:36Anyway,
437. 19:37I'll just leave you to that. Go try it
438. 19:39by yourself. Go watch a show, a good
439. 19:41color SDR show, something like
440. 19:44I mean some some Chinese drama. I think
441. 19:46they're quite good in SDR. Go to Netflix
442. 19:48to watch uh
443. 19:50Pursuit of Jade, for example. Go to
444. 19:53watch some like old shows without HDR. I
445. 19:57think Breaking Bad is actually in SDR in
446. 20:00but in 4K, so it's a rare one
447. 20:03because most of the other 4K shows are
448. 20:06in Dolby Vision or HDR.
449. 20:09Yeah, so try one or two of those uh
450. 20:12Korean dramas or Chinese dramas out
451. 20:15there in Netflix.
452. 20:17Or I think they they have a really good
453. 20:19uh color trade grading.
454. 20:22And uh some maybe older shows you would
455. 20:25like to don't watch too old stuff
456. 20:28because those would be
457. 20:30more suitable for gamma 2.2.
458. 20:33Uh which if you want, I can share a
459. 20:36gamma 2.2 calibration in a separate
460. 20:38video.
461. 20:40But, for most uh more more than
462. 20:43contents, I think past 10 years or maybe
463. 20:46past 15 years, I think uh
464. 20:49uh
465. 20:502.4, that's BT.1886
466. 20:53would be more suitable.
467. 20:55Okay, [snorts] let me know your
468. 20:56thoughts. Uh don't forget to leave a
469. 20:58like and subscribe if you find this
470. 21:01useful.
471. 21:02And, I'll see you in the next firmware
472. 21:04if not sooner when you see my uh
473. 21:07>> [music]
474. 21:07>> gaming videos. Uh
475. 21:09So, I think I'm getting a hang of um
476. 21:12this camera and of course uh the
477. 21:14calibration of the TVs as well. So,
478. 21:17I hope the quality of the videos that
479. 21:19shot in HDR, especially,
480. 21:21uh keep improving and uh people watching
481. 21:24it on the phone, especially,
482. 21:26could feel the impact of HDR because
483. 21:28most phones can
484. 21:30hit close to
485. 21:32if not past um 2,000 uh 2,000 nits uh in
486. 21:35HDR [music] these days.
487. 21:37All right, I'll see you next time. Bye.
