Except there are no messengers here , only trash cans.

You link us a trash bin and ask us why there are trash in it , what sort of answer do you expect ?



Someone who has been banned 5(?) or 7 times , received numerous warning from brand's PR , shunned by professionals in the industry has no credibity .
Don't feed the troll , don't even acknowledge it . Don't even attempt to understand why or how they are a troll .


Last but not least , try not to watch their videos . It is getting hilarious how youtube is recommending their videos beside tech channels nowadays .

I have asked them before , it is the same " Work in progress " reply .


LG has always been aggressive at getting streaming apps onto webOS , from the fundamental Netflix and Prime , to Aiqiyi , Twitch , HBO-GO [no max here] and AppleTV .

Disney is a bit more tricky this time because they didn't exactly part in good terms with Astro.

Astro Go was literally removed from webOS under their demand , yet they are the official distributor of Disney Hotstar app .

It is the same , but 48" is a little too small to be a gaming TV .


For workstation and desktop gaming it is fantastic though .

Just get the CX instead , more or less the same .



There was a 6/6 sale on 55 " CX for around 5.5k after cashback .

Unfortunately no HDR or 4k anywhere in sight .
Not even the series .

They did however , tidy up some UIs compare to the India's version .

Depends on how often you are going to calibrate your display .

Display pro is sufficient if you are only planning to calibrate OLED displays and typical monitors , if you also plan to tinker around with modern LCD they have display pro plus which can measure up to 2000 nits + .

You can use Lightspace DPS or HCFR which is open source and free .

It is the best option at this price range until you are going into the professional field like spectromaster or Klein K10 which often cost way more than a flagship TV .

Try Wing Soon .

It is good news really , unfortunately there are still fairly limited selection of movies getting this treatment .

I've also noticed they have started to put in more languages of subtitles in recent TV shows / movies , another improvement I wish that will extend to older content .

I didn't but only because I choose to neglect it .
I simply don't think it is worth checking out , at all.


At best it is a severely watered down , downgraded version of C1 .

What makes it worse is it isn't actually that much cheaper than the B / C series or even last year models .



Doesn't mean I don't know anything about the TV , the A1 series is not only subpar in terms of HDR performance , it is also more prone to fickering and other screen problems than others .
You also will not be getting the same frequency of firmware updates as the C and G series .

With people reporting how the screen looks more blurry than usual , which is understandable as they also have to downgrade the pixel shifting time by 300% .


Unless you 've found a crazy cheap deal , the C1 or even CX from last year are no brainer .

Because its the A series ?

This is actually quite common among the OLED displays .

The Pixel composition are made of organics , which is why it is ever changing .

After 200 hours of watching , there will be some changes to the pixels .
Any kind of black cloudings , uneven brightness and screen uniformity should improve however slightly .

In the process it will make the darker spots (which will take longer time to " fade " ) stood out a little more .

Add in another 200 hours , or 2000 hours the screen should improve quite dramatically .


Again because of the self emissive nature , 5% on the OLED is actually equals to roughly 1% from typical LCD . Which also explains why you tend to witness more issues in these very dim shades of gray .
But they are not commonly used in movies or TV shows .

I have learn to not actively look for these flaws unless it is completely blocking your vision , else you are just going to keep scratching your head , pestering LG to change panels and to what ends ?

Your next panel is not guaranteed to be better and you can keep doing that but overall the process is tedious .

You should ask for replacement if possible , that is quite a lot of dots .

97 " is insane , imagine to be able to have a screen as big as projector but with unprecedented , OLED picture quality .

Nothing you should be freaking out of .


AFAIK , due to the overwhelming response from 48 " C1 last year , 48 " C2 will continue to be the priority of LG MY in 2022 .

No 42 " C2 planned in MY atm .

We are almost a year in , RM7800 is too high of an asking price .


There were sellers dropping the model below RM6000 during 12/12 shopee sales last year .

120hz refresh rate is just for playing games ? Since when ?

You really don't understand , do you ?

It is not the 120hz that matters , it is the native higher refresh rate .


60 hz TV would have to go through additional step to conform TV 's native refresh rate to 48 , 72 , usually the latter for Modern TVs . This will eventually weigh down on the already inferior CPU on A1 , which is also why people often experience sluggishness on UI during movie session .
60hz tv has significantly slower pixel transition time , which also means more blurriness and ghosting from motion - heavy scenes . They are also unable to remove judders from 24p movies that come from 60hz source , such as the TV boxes .

How is this " conning " ?

They have already told the public 42" C2 will not be having the same brightness rating as the larger sizes awhile ago , Evo panels or not .

That means the biggest reason to upgrade to EVO panel has become moot .

Plus the 42" WRGB OLED fab is new , which also means the yield from 42" fab is relatively lower than the more matured larger sizes , in several country 42"C2 is actually priced as the same as 48 " .

This is not rocket science , what is so hard to understand ?

Question , how do you know we are getting QD-OLED TV anytime soon ?
[ we are not ]



Really ?

a 300- 500 nits EDGE-LIT TV pretending to be competent in the likes of Legendary X93/x94E and Z9D

Oh why thank you , I had a great laugh .

Calibrating a display , requires a source of reference .


In this case where is he getting the reference ?


These are just generic settings , so common that every TV channel is providing them nowadays . That is not calibrating .
Also the fact that he has to tell people to turn " Dynamic tone mapping " off in Dolby Vision


We always use 2.4 for SDR , because that is the most reliable way for 1D and 3D LUT to generate consistent color gradation across all luminance range .
Effect is more obvious in the recent TV because of added precision point from 3D LUT in 2018 / 19 / 20 / 21 OLED models . [ The A , B series are excluded ]

People tend to raise it to 2.2 doesn't mean it is optimal , it is just that our vision become progressively weaker at picking out errors and mismatch in a brighter room , thus interference from ambient lights .
Gamers also like to do that because they want to see more in darker side in competitive scenes .


As for the color balance , You don't need to follow his settings if you have a working Ipad , or a Nintendo Switch ( surprise ) .
Play a full screen white pattern on the youtube app , get the full screen white on your TV to look as close as possible.


From my experience , these little gadgets are extremely accurate in colors which came as a surprise to me .
Back in the days , when we didn't have all these tablets and didn't have any tools , we were resorted to using a piece of A4 Paper .


Again , don't call that calibrating . That is just trying to make the screen as accurate as possible according to the limits of your eye sight .
