Behold 1500 nits of peak brightness

That's great for 10% of the screen :cry:

I will wait for him to compare this to 2nd gen QD-OLED before I make a decision. I've had my current TV 9 years. I can wait :cry:

Thats where most of the HDR effects come from in games and movies, so yes it makes a very noticeable difference as shown in the video

Very rarely do you get more than 10% requesting max peak brightness, so should be a noticeable improvement.

Has anyone got one of these in 42" connected to an aerial, and can do a test for me? I'm looking for the device ID inside the app on channel 100.

Just ordered the 55" LG C3 with Richer Sounds. 12 months 0% interest and 6 year warranty. My first foray into OLED. I'm excited to see what this is like. It'll be replacing a 3 and a bit year old Sony KD-49XG9005.

I've been really enjoying the C3. My first OLED tele and I'm loving the picture as well as the interface itself. Very responsive. Had to do some basic tweaks to the picture but I'm happy now, as originally I found it overly dark. AVForums say to use Film Maker mode but I prefer Cinema mode. And when watching a 4k blu-ray I actually prefer Dynamic Tone Mapping to be "on" instead of "off". This could however just be me being used to LED for far too long. I did take some pictures on my phone, whilst the image was moving (no pausing); I was watching Guardians of the Galaxy in 4k to test out the picture. I think they've come out alright to be fair haha. No picture tweaking, just cropped. Obviously may look different on everyone's different monitors but hopefully it gives some idea of the balance.

Does yt even support Dolby Vision? I always thought it was HDR and HDR10 only. So many vids claiming DV but I've only ever managed to playback with HDR10 on my CX.

LG have always supported DV? My CX sure does it’s one of the reasons I purchased it over another brand.

DV is supported for sure when watching Apple TV / Prime but not when using the yt app.

kona786 · 6 Jun 2023 at 20:02

Yup YT does not support DV on any device.

rare · 6 Jun 2023 at 20:31

Ah yeah apologies I missed the YT reference

Any more owners want to chime in on any issues or just how wonderful their new purchases are? I'm in the market for a 77" and it's a toss up between the A80K or the C3. I can get either for a very similar price. What say you?

I do wonder if this race against each other for the highest brightness levels can cause you to get screen burn much more easy

OLED Brightness levels didn't change that much for many years and all of a sudden when QD-OLED panels get released the OLED brightness levels jump up around 600 nits

The cynic in you might say that's because LG didn't NEED to increase brightness until Samsung came along with their QD-OLED. That's the simple reason you are seeing it now.

The G3 increased brightness is purely down to an optical layer though, not from pushing the electronics any more (maybe some but the majority of the increases is in the MLA layer). Only time will tell though if they are more or less prone.

DTS is coming back for this year's models right? Weird that they took it out for a few years.

Yeah they added it back in. Even passthrough was removed on the older models.

Very have 20% cash back at the moment so ordered to replace my C9.
