On my Vizio, I use Computer color

On Vizios the "Normal" color temperature is the one closest to 6500K. It's the same color temperature used by the "Calibrated" preset.
Props to Vizio for being the only TV manufacturer to call 6500K "Normal".

White's look way to yellow in that for my taste, though.

Give me cool 1 or give me death

 

[pottuvoi]

Also - "preference" is wrong. Accuracy is what matters. The specs to get accurate SDR are very well defined and are very achievable for calibrators on most decent sets

This.
What ever gives most accurate results is the way to go.

The only temp color is the one that gives accurate color.

give me accurate color or death.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

I dont care what the "creator intentions" are..warm looks like shit.

 

[Karspankey]

Using neutral on my X800D and I think that it looks great. Used all of RTINGS suggested settings except for the temperature and live color, which I set to medium.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but wanting to know what color temp people are using these days for their 4K HDR TV while gaming?

I've been tossing between Cool, Standard(neutral), Warm 1 and Warm 2 on my Samsung TV. I'm pretty happy with my other settings but this one is difficult for me to settle on.

I think the Cool makes games pop in a good way with HDR and Warm 1 is okay in low light conditions but I'm wondering if this is something we change all the time depending on the light of the room or just set and forget?

This is just for my game mode, I use Warm 1 for TV and movies but I feel like gaming is different.

I use Warm1 on my Samsung for HDR gaming. Took a little getting used to at first, but now it feels more accurate than anything else. Also allows me to set it and forget it between games and movies.

 

[butane bob]

It's a lot warmer than people think.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Expert 1 on my Sony sets. Most accurate colors without prof calibration.

 

[RoboFu]

Yup no warm here. White needs to be white, not yellow, not blue.

 

[Sticks]

I keep it cool, always.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I always use Cool.

 

[martino]

what this

recommend me.

 

[V4skunk]

Warm2. Prefer red over blue and neutral.

I have a setting on my TV that keeps the settings I set to each source so it keeps my colour temp at Standard which is neutral in my game mode and then when I switch to Netflix or TV etc. It's on Warm automatically. Mine is Samsung also.

 

[Hostile_18]

In always amazed how many people have their TV set wrong, even some professionals.

Its Warm 2 if you want accurate colours.

Let the developers colour grade their game not your tv manufacturer lol. A look of a scene can be totally changed by using the wrong setting.

Movie mode is usually closest to the most accurate bud. Try Warm 2, with all post processing off. Turn off things like contrast enhancer, live colour etc. All this does is takes the colour a content creator wants and changes it. Look how much better movies look, realistic skin tones etc. Games are made to exactly the same standards.

I think you mis understood my post. I'm not using standard picture mode, I was talking about my colour temp. On my TV it goes, Cool, Standard, Warm 1 and Warm 2. I do use movie mode with Warm 2 and all post processing off. I'm just saying my settings for Game mode has the colour temp set to (standard) which is the same as neutral, not to be confused with the standard picture mode.

Edit: I prefer the neutral colour temp for some reason just for games, maybe because they are essentially animated, I know this is technically wrong but its only for games. Otherwise it's warm 2 for everything else, I could never use neutral temp for movies and TV, it looks off for sure.

Just checked my 4k samsung tv and it's set to warm2 with hdr mode. I remember i tried a lot of different combinations and this was the best one for my living room

Yeah its still the same for games Warm 2 is the accurate setting so your seeing exactly what the developers want you to see. That been said nothing wrong with preference over reference if thats how you like your image.

Blue snow and weather conditions appearing different to what the story is trying to convey would do my head in personally using neutral or cool. Maybe warm 1 is the sweet spot compromise if you don't like Warm 2 for games.

 

[NeonGhost]

I use standard on my Samsung tv

 

[lachesis]

I use slightly modified version based on Cinema settings and available calibration data on the specific panel.

 

[Esppiral]

I want white colors to be white... So I stay as away from warm colors as possible.

Warm 2 is the most accurate white point. I think your use to seeing white with blue in and that's why it doesn't look right.

Anyone on the fence give it a week using accurate colours and you'll never go back.

 

[Justin9mm]

I use standard on my Samsung tv

Which is the equivalent of Neutral on other TV's.. I'm the same for games but Warm 2 for everything else.

I tried Warm 1 for games as well, I left it for a good few days with a range of games, still preferred Standard(neutral) colour temp option. It is weird because I have no problem having Warm 2 for TV, Movies and Netflix.

 

[Audiophile]

Calibrated with Warm 2 for all film/video content. It's the reference white point (D65). I also have a lifx bulb behind my TV set to 6500K and 1%.

For games I set everything to the same reference point and then knock it up to Warm 1 and add 1 or 2 points to the brightness.

See so many TVs set to Cool and it robs movies of their warmth and atmosphere. After switching from a cooler setting to Warm it certainly looks pissy, but after 20 mins it looks normal.

 

[Cao Cao]

Well if I put warm on my TV then snow looks yellow. No Thanks. I rather have white looking snow like in real life lol

 

[Ulysses 31]

Warm1 on Samsung TVs, Warm2 makes whites too yellow.
