You can bring your own copy content there to playback for judge, or ask the shop playback those demo disc, all shop should have it.
Those demo disc beside those fancy vibrant advertisement video, they do have some movie cut scenes as well.

Don't judge using YouTube, the internet line issue also will affected the quality, unless the shop go change the setting on every playback YouTube video.

No need Blu-ray player and different model Blu-ray player did not make big differences at all also.
Just copy some video (SDR and HDR) to USB Thumb Drive.

It is unnecessary to bring a physical Blu-ray disc or 4K UHD Blu-ray disc as most shop don't have 4K UHD Blu-ray player also.

Cinema Mode is always there for you to select but not the Cinema Home and it is separate to 3 categories depends on the source you playback.
- Picture Mode - Cinema (when content is SDR)
- HDR Picture Mode - Cinema / Cinema Home (when content is HDR10)
- Dolby Vision Picture Mode - Cinema / Cinema Home (when content is Dolby Vision)

I had similar issue when using Picture Mode - Standard, the over blueish will hurting my eye and get tired.

It is brilliant to me and no issue after switch to Cinema mode for HDR10 or SDR.
I only choose Cinema Home for Dolby Vision as it is too dark for me in Cinema mode for Dolby Vision.

But due to my personal preferences, I change to Warm 1 instead of Warm 2 as Warm 2 is the color I never like, I don't care how people said Warm 2 is accurate, to me it is over warm, yellowish and sometimes too dark to any display I own.

To me Warm 2 is a preset for watching in totally dark room and i don't watch in dark room but instead bright room.

Also CX HDMI 2.1 is not full bandwidth.

To me CX is not a real upgrade as well. Haha!

Aiya, too fast tell the answer, I just want to guess myself. Haha!

Because C9 soon no more release, it is replace by CX.

I never care of extended warranty for anything, it is basically waste of money.

Think back how many product you buy with extended warranty benefits of it.

Just a small update on my LG C9 Setting.

I had change the De-Judder under TruMotion to 4 now instead of previous 2.

I don't find any soup artifact or any image error issue. 4 is the max can set as once go for 5, artifact start appearing and look fake.

So now my TruMotion setting is as below and it run perfectly fine and smooth.

TruMotion: User
- De-Judder: 4
- De-Blur: 10

If you got plenty 4K HDR title or want to start taste and enjoy 4K HDR, then go ahead now.
For the moment I already have 540 4K HDR titles and frank speak 4K HDR is another level of viewing pleasure.

Don't judge 4K HDR title from Netflix, Netflix 4K HDR title most didn't give wow effect.
Judge from 4K HDR title release by Studio in Physical Format 4K UHD Blu-ray or at least stream format from Apple iTunes.

Else I think you can wait until your Plasma kaput.

Every year similar time LG will do promotion of OLED TV when new model is released.

Not sure for C8, but C9 definitely on. LG had did a great job on Dynamic Tone Mapping for HDR.

I believe C8 also did great on that, it is just 2 years ago product which still pretty new.

They is two thing, one is Dynamic Contrast where i am off.
For Dynamic Tone Mapping setting I will re-check again but I am pretty sure I never face over expose the mid highlight of the image before.

fentanyl, JustCheeze , madballs

I just check back my previous setting post here. The Value cannot change for Dynamic Tone Mapping for Cinema or Cinema Home Mode.

It is grey out but show ON or N/A, I assume it is ON in this case.

So far I didn't make any changes anymore except recently is De-Judder I put as 4 instead of 2.

So no need care on the DTM as it is disable in preset we choose.

Maybe disable is OFF, maybe is ON, maybe is N/A. Haha!

I just check now it can, probably some changes is make after firmware update.

But in Dolby Vision mode, Dynamic Tone Mapping setting is not there.

Just use the thing best suite you, they is nothing correct or wrong, it is user preference.

I don't see any crush mid range highlight, it was the best setting for me and I already watch like that few months.

B9 had inaccurate setting by default, probably it impact the output which probably not only did by DTM but others setting as well.

From this article now I know why this feature is not there for Dolby Vision because Dolby Vision already have it owned Dynamic Tone Mapping.

I find it work perfectly, so I am going to stick to On in HDR10.
It make the HDR10 very closed to what Dolby Vision did which is much better. So far I had no complain on all movies I see.

Ya, I also feel that. That the reason I on it.
It looks far better to me when on than off.

Most the time I watch in normal lighting condition room, but sometimes I watch in total dark room also.

I never ever facing over exposure issue at all.

Did you make some changes on the setting? suggest you reset back all to original and check again by turning on the DTM only.

Last time, someone here told me OLED Light, Contrast and Brightness cannot simply touch as this will impact the output.
I let all this in default setting and it looks just nice in Cinema Mode for all except Home Cinema Mode for Dolby Vision to me.

Good price.


Nope, I never buy any extended warranty for anything.

They can extended for you because it is very rare happen anything during the extended time as well.

I just try, so far no issue, running perfectly fine even on 4K UHD HDR Remux copy.

Ok, I had listen to you guy and did some changes to my LG C9 setting with some reference from rtings.com Haha!

Actually previously I on the Dynamic Tone Mapping due to I find HDR is too dark.

Now I did some changes and yes it is better than before.

• Color Temperature - Warm 2
• Dynamic Contrast - Medium (this is recommended setting by rtings if you find HDR too dark), for SDR, this setting remain off.
• Dynamic Tone Mapping - Off
