You can turn the TV into center speaker mode , like this

Larger transfer bandwidth for higher frame rate content , higher resolution , better chroma sampling , etc etc.

It can transfer up to 48 GBPS compare to the current limit of 18 GBPS of HDMI 2.0 .


For eg , both of these 2019 and 2018 LG OLEDs can internally process HFR content (4k videos up to 120hz) .

But due to the limitation of the transfer port , the LG 2018s are unable to do it via HDMI , while the 2019s can .


It should be noted there are not many device compatible with HDMI 2.1 at the moment , so it is more of a future proof thing.

Without diving too much into the technical details , yes .


There is a new way to scam everyday . While these morons have no shame , buyers should also be aware of the latest scamming trend .

There are several way to do it now . The most common one , is they will attempt to contact you via whatsapp , then convince you to transfer directly into their bank account .


In the recent times they have learn several new methods .

At first they will let you to place an order on Lazada to gain your trust . Since Lazada offers full refund , they will wait until your order is confirmed then cancel your order and you got your refund .
And they will tell you , if they are cheater you will not get your refund back , using Lazada's system to describe for their own benefits .

Then give you all sort of excuses , like Out of stocks , delay of shipment , Lazada doesn't allow low price ... blah blah blah . After that they will ask u to go out of Lazada's web to fulfill the payment .


Seems too outrageous ? trust me , to this day there are still people who have fallen to the trap .

It is . They have been shutting down their accounts but they can only do so much .


Buyers themselves need to have awareness as well , these d-bags will just keep making new account and hunting for prey .

"assembled " in Indonesia , the screen is made from Korea .

Disney tv app not yet officially available on the local LG content store .

I know how , the key here is " officially " .
If you encounter any of those error you will receive no support from the Local LG HQ.

They don't ship TVs to Malaysia .


Also you cannot compare the US market with MY market .
They have so many more options for high end TVs over there , the market is extremely competitive .

Adjust brightness value and set Gamma to 2.2 .

If you have test patterns running you can try changing the luminance of 5 IRE .


Nope . Vivid mode is literally the most offensive mode there is , everything is unnatural and oversaturated .


Especially if you have children in the house , you want them growing up to recognize what " white " looks like , don't you ?

Thesedays if you are asking random people what is white , they pull out their mobile screen and show you pale blue .

dead or stuck pixels ?

As per agreement , for 4k screens they will not fix the screen if it only has 1 small pixel defects because they are usually not very noticeable under normal content viewing .
This applies to all the major brands out there .

If it is 1 dot consist of piles of dead pixels clustering together , then yes .

In SDR mode maybe , the HDR preset is still crap .


Screen calibration is a tough business in Malaysia .

Mostly because people don't give a damn about accuracy . Often you have calibrated a screen to D65 for someone , they end up complaining screen looking " yellowish " . Side effects from long term exposure of overly blue screens.


They much rather sticking to their oversaturated tablets and phones .
This is especially true in big market like China and Korea as well , where most movie directors and editors have very little knowledge in the field .

I often find a lot of Chinese and Korean shows crushing shadow details and having incorrect black levels .
The same reason why there are not many HDR films from them . The recent movies that are only made available in HDR thanks to Netflix , who is actively pursuing the HDR direction.


It will take more than decades to convince the public of the importance of having an accurate screen .
Considering the odds are against those of us who valued a panel precision.


We even have local forum moderator who is openly against people talking about color accuracy . " You are not a graphic designer why the xxxx are you calibrating your screen ? " Quote taken straight from a certain self proclaimed hardware " reviewer " here.


Doesn't help the fact that some major brands continues to twist the public for their own advantages .

For eg , all these Samsung Galaxy phones are advertising about how accurate their screens are .

Yet the one they sold in Asia has terrible accuracy and all operating under the default "Vivid" mode . Apparently the local audience love nothing more than to watch colors leaking like spray paint from their screens .
While the western version of same model shipped under far more accurate " Natural " settings .

If I have to name him , I would be adding even more enemies on top of the list of the Brand PR I've already pi**ed off in this forum


But he is not that hard to spot ... usually lurking around the hardware and monitor area ... I got fed up and shunned the forum awhile ago when he was questioning people who are buying color accurate monitors .

How do you know it is " too dark " ?

Not every little piece of shadow details should be visible . The only way you can tell is running test patterns .

Try playing this and switch to the appropriate viewing mode for the basics .


All of 2019 and 2018's LG and Panasonic OLEDs are crushing a little bit of the near black details , to more effectively shroud the near black gradient problems which have been plaguing OLED TVs for awhile .

I thought you said C9 is a little too expensive awhile ago ?


The cycle never stop .

By the time C10 ( I believe the next gen of LG OLEDs are going to be called CX , EX , WX and BX ) is released it is going to be super pricey and you are going to want to wait for price drop , again.

At this rate you will end up never buying one because there is always something better coming out " soon " .

They shouldn't need to carry your TV back .

If you have been properly describing your problem , they should have sent a tech team to your house and replace the entire backpanel within 5 minutes .



It's a bit of a hectic in LG's place right now because of the holiday season.

I am more intrigued by their 48" panels CX (10) assuming there is no compromise on the TV specs. It should be more affordable to be used a PC monitor and doesn't has to be as bulky as the 55" and 65 " version.

no, not at all .


Anyone who knows half a thing about the TV industry knew these Micro-LED TV are going to have a price tag of half a million Ringgit for some times . ( Not to mention a couple of other inherent issues from the tech )

So for people who are waiting for OLEDs to go obsolete , sorry to break your dream . Unless you are a multi-millionaire , it is going to be a long wait before Micro-led is replacing OLEDs .


LGD is pretty happy with their white OLEDs from what I heard . In fact it allows them to completely one-uped Samsung in the premium TV market .

Since they are the sole manufacturer of wRGB OLEDs , they are also the one who sets the trends and the rest of the brands ( who buy OLED screens from them) have to follow .



Dolby Vision Cinema has the most accurate settings , Cinema Home brighten up the picture excessively and is more suited for a lit-room .

So unless you want everything to look like they came from Ponyland , Standard and Vivid are horrible and should be avoided at all cost .
Not only the colors are unnatural , they put a blue hue on top of everything .

You are suffering from the same syndromes we're talking about in this forum a lot . People who have lost their touches on recognizing natural colors thanks to the influences from modern tablets and smartphones .


Neon colors from these Vivid modes are going to leave bigger impression from the first look , same reason why TV shops are looping demo in the same setting to bait customers into buying it .
Though , have you actually seen grasses in real life that is neon-green instead of light green ?

Messing around with DV modes can be tricky , because Dolby has reserved a lot settings in their exclusive viewing modes .

The 2018 OLED and older models have OLED lights fixed at 50 , changing to any value above 50 will alter the gamma drastically .

2019 LG OLEDs has removed that and the OLED lights are now fixed at 100 and should remain 100 .

You should not be changing the contrast settings either .

Run a couple of dark scenes in DV , the brightness settings will now alter the gamma which you can use to adjust pictures for more shadow details .

Without calibrating kits that's pretty much the best you can do without diving into the white balance menu .

If you just want the picture to stay as bright as Vivid / Standard , it ain't going to happen . Inaccurate modes tend to be brighter than the accurate ones .
Plus Dolby Vision has its own dynamic meta data for HDR tonemapping curves , you really shouldn't be changing it .


Not every piece of shadow details are supposed to be seen . Dolby has their very own standards when it comes to mastering show , especially with the recent OLED crushing a little bit of shadow details to mask the near-black imperfection.

Surely you can raise the gamma so you will eventually see everything , but at the same time also cause the picture to lose its authenticity and depth .

For Dolby Vision it is fine , those are the default settings for 2019 LG OLEDs .

Plus you are not going to watch Dolby Vision all the time , not everything is available in DV anyway .
