So I just recently set up my 48" oled, been busy lately messing with all your mothers, but boy does this change gaming. Im wanting to play older titles just to see what they look like on a picture of quality as this. The blacks are amazing and the detail is second to none. Anyone reccomend any other settings for the tv. I followed the youtube video from HDTVTEST, and all around his settings are good but wondering if any other great recommendations.

playing some bf2042 (its amazing now I can see people at a distance and crank the fov up)

persona 5 royal

and soon to get miles morales, FFVII Integrade, but really exited to see what Ghost of Tsushima ps5 looks like on this beast.

OLED is the shit. Been an OLED fanboy since Zune HD.

 

[kingpotato]

Congrats! Definitely check out the HDR on Returnal, Last of Us 2, God of War, etc.

Also, in before someone comes in here trying to shit on you for having the best screen for gaming.

 

[Fbh]

I mostly used the HDTVTEST settings aside from using warm 10 instead of warm 50 because I'd rather have less accurate colors instead of everything being orange.
Also, as recommended to me by someone else here, if you are using the built in speakers I've found the "cinemema" settings sounds nicer than the game mode one

[Synless]

It didn’t change anything. The only game changing thing to come to gaming in years was VR.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Didn't blow me away, but I did notice the improved contrast. Easily the best picture.

Oled..pfft you should see games on a CRT.

 

[Diddy X]

Oled..pfft you should see games on a CRT.

They say CRT is the next big thing, can't wait for instant response time and no ghosting.

 

[RareJordan]

I agree. The OLED Switch has convinced me that my next TV will be OLED. It's amazing all the new details I'm noticing in games.

 

[RoboFu]

Wtf did you play on before this if you could not see objects in the distance?! Lol

You're about 13+ years late to the party. Pioneer Kuro's and late gen Panasonic Plasma's were within spitting distance of OLED in subjective real world image quality as far back as 2008. People used to make similar posts here back at the time posting setup pictures with games running on Pioneer 5020/6020's that looked completely unrecognizable from LCD's of the time. The gap back then was MUCH larger than today's High End LCD's Vs. OLED's. Only peak light output and resolution have improved since then, which isn't even visible from most people's viewing distance, and is of little consequence as 95% of content is still SDR. Plasma's were perfectly capable of reaching 150-200+ nit APL's in real world content, which is subjectively quite bright for standard dynamic range.

 

[Vick]

Oled..pfft you should see games on a CRT.

OLED turns into a blurry mess whenever there is movement on screen.. It is much better than LCD's, but still a blurry mess nonetheless compared to CRT and late Panasonic plasma.
Something you'd be able to see in a very intrusive matter if you're used to pure motion.

So.. you should really see panels actually exceeding OLED quality, while having the clarity of CRT in motion at the same time.

But then you'd be stuck in a sad loop, so don't.

Sorry but oled is far superior in every way.

You obviously never saw one.

I have been playing GoT on a C1 and it has been great. It did amaze me.

Son of a.. I fucking KNEW IT!!!

This is a bannable offense here, surely!?

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

True. No other tech made anything below 60fps look so bad.

 

[carlosrox]

OP is 100% correct. It's a game changer.

If you can't see it, GECHO EYES CHECKED!!


It's really about the black levels for me but the contrast in general is just amazing.

I do not get tired of OLED. It looks incredible every single time.

I recommend it to any gamer. It's the way games are meant to be seen.

If you play in the dark you can't tell where the game ends and the frame of the screen begins. It's really something special.


Ps. Switch OLED is soooooo good. It's insane how good the games look on it.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Wtf did you play on before this if you could see objects in the distance?! Lol

I have a 55" uhd Samsung in living room. Probably viewing distance from the couch but when playing on a high fov and sitting far away i could not pin point enemy players and not being accurate on bf2042. With it installed today in my office since it's a smaller wall/tv i can sit close and make the enemies out better, have better shot accuracy, and jacked my fov back up to 80/90 and can make everything out crisp and clear

I've owned 3 of them. Still have one in the bedroom. My c1 is better. Try harder.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

been busy lately messing with all your mothers

please return her ashes to the urn

 

[rofif]

It is.
No joke. Everything looks amazing. Especially hdr games.
below Guardians of the galaxy, uc4, ff7 remake and uc4.

I am planning to (for first time on oled) replay Death Stranding and The Last Guardian. Can''t imagine what bloodborne 4k hdr remaster would look like

 

[CapnAmaricrunch]

A good oled looks like NYC during the holidays, just magical.

 

[Knightime_X]

Oled is cool for the deep blacks but QLED is my favorite of the 2.

 

[Vick]

I've owned 3 of them. Still have one in the bedroom. My c1 is better. Try harder.

So you owned three 5 thousand dollars panels? I'm genuinely impressed.

Legit question then, in what exactly are they far superior? Because you're the first one i heard who calibrated both and reproduced the same source on both and came up with this conclusion.

I personally never saw a C1 (but all OLED panels on the market are LG regardless), however i had my KRP-500M next to a C9 the moment i picked it up and i'll never forget how "plasticky" the picture was in contrast to the literal window of the Kuro, nor the very noticeable difference in 24p handling.
I can see why someone would prefer that kind of image, but it ain't objective by any means.

If you're talking about 4K and HDR content ok then, sure, but if you have an extensive BD library the tradeoff in terms of motion clarity and to a lesser extent near black performances is something i, personally, wouldn't be willing to accept.

OLED is a great technology, and i'm super glad to see an LCD adversary doing so well, but it still gives you that electric kind of image, none i ever saw had the same tactility and analogue looking picture of a top plasma. And worst thing about it, due to intrinsic limitations but also LG monopoly, some of its faults will never be adressed.

MicroLED is where it's at.

 

[Dream-Knife]

I'd rather have a Panasonic Plasma. If only people cared about quality 15 years ago.

EDIT: Or even better, a 1440p CRT.

 

[AJUMP23]

Oled it has the pixel density.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Been playing on a LG CX for almost a year and nothing blow me away as much as Guardians of the galaxy on the Series X. The game is just beautiful.

oled is good I guess

Spoiler: FIXED THAT FOR YOU

[Hezekiah]

Great unless you use them in a bright room...and if you don't get screen burn.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Its weird at first it was really yellow. But literaly after 15-20 minutes of play its almost as if the screen/your eyes adapt and you dont notice, because for the heck of it I dropped it a little and noticed a much more cooler and bluer image than to my liking. Maybe not warm 50, maybe warm 45-48 is a sweet spot but Ill test it out further.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

The tv's themselves especially newer iterations that have quality of life features that prevents it much better than like 2-3 years ago. Also mine is strictly gaming, no tv with bars on it constantly, unless its hud options to which I can adjust and have it enabled when I want. If not, then I play something after to smooth the image over for a few minutes to prevent any possible burn in

 

[Excess]

Next year will be a really good year for OLED with Samsung getting into the fight. Finally, some competition.

 

[CitizenZ]

So....not gameplay, new IPs, mechanics, settings, etc. Brighter colors?

Hmm yeah, but games where the HUD can't be adjusted? I know LGs have Pixel Shift or whatever it's called which helps, just feels like a lot of hassle all things considered.

I think if I just watched movies / TV shows I would have got an OLED. But I do a lot of gaming, and I watch a lot of football (and other sports) which have a lot of static images so wasn't prepared to take the risk.

 

[ShirAhava]

As someone who owns a few high end CRT's......OLED's are 'cute' better than crappy 99% of IPS monitors before OLED starts degrading that is. A few high end VA panels have amazing black levels and are just a grade below OLED without the weaknesses like burn-in. My OLED has black blotches but still looks nice shame about the weakness to oxygen. I wish SED was a thing we got robbed!

Also "HDTVTEST settings" ? there are better choices like actual professionals(QTV) who are also youtubers who give honest opinions and not shills for tv companies....HDTVtest's tv of the year (among other things) lets me know I cannot take that dude seriously

OLED isn't perfect but deserves better than HDTVTEST

Don't take my word for it. Please educate yourself. I see your nobody youtuber and raise you somebody who actually knows what he's talking about.

Kuro Plasma was better from a "wow" perspective relative to their releases. Pioneer sets screamed quality where LG just feel disposable.

 

[Buggy Loop]

OLED turns into a blurry mess whenever there is movement on screen.. It is much better than LCD's, but still a blurry mess nonetheless compared to CRT and late Panasonic plasma.
Something you'd be able to see in a very intrusive matter if you're used to pure motion.

So.. you should really see panels actually exceeding OLED quality, while having the clarity of CRT in motion at the same time.

But then you'd be stuck in a sad loop, so don't.






You obviously never saw one.

I still rock my 2009 Kuro and it still manages to blow me away even nowadays and all my friends who thought it was a 4K when we watched movies on it. I think the OLED would win in a pure side by side in brightness especially with HDR and absolute blacks, but I would probably find the drawbacks annoying, such as worse motion handling and color tones.

It’s still a darling at AVS

I’m still hoping for something better to land in the market that would surpass OLED in motion and have no burn in. Hopefully in a few years, I’m surprised the Kuro is even turning on 12 years later.

 

[amigastar]

Quick question. I've seen an LED TV which was 100 bucks more expensive than a OLED TV. Which TV might be better, is OLED a Gauarantee for better Image Quality or is it possible that the more expensive LED TV is better?
