cazzesman Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Grrrrrrr!!!!! Fairdinkum a bloke can't win. My wife and I were watching The Queens Gambit last night. It was a 720p version from a USB stick. The Oled ided it and ran it in HDR. The image was truly stunning. I mean truly, truly stunning. My darling wife couldn't get her head around the image quality. She kept saying it looked fake because it was 3d like. I was trying to explain to her she just needed to get use to the depth of field, clarity and the 'pop/richness' of the colours. She wanted me to adjust it so that it basically dumbed down the quality of the image. We agreed to disagree for the moment. I will count to 1000 and leave it as it is for now. Women!!!! Regards Cazzesman PS. David Gilmour - Live in Pompeii is amazing on Bluray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioBrian Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 At least she didn't need to compromise her fashion sense by wearing those silly 3D glasses. Your TV sounds really good, I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may be referring to some of the motion settings that are on by default that used to bug me when I first got my LG 55 C8 OLED. I remember watching a blu-ray of Mission Impossible Fallout and thinking that there was something about the image that was un-cinema like. It felt like watching a TV series or soap opera. Once I turned the various motion smoothing settings off, it was a lot better. I think the modes were called: Real Cinema and True Motion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazzesman Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks Mr Snurb, that True Motion setting did the trick. Changed it from True Motion to Slow. Wife happy now. Regards Cazzesman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gat474 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hey @cazzesmanif your new tv continues to cause marital disharmony I’m happy to swap with a last model of the Pana plasmas in either 50 or 60 inch. I’m sure she’d much prefer one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proftournesol Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 LG OLEDs are pretty amazing. The best tweak I made to mine was to get it professionally calibrated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazzesman Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks prof. I have started looking into that. I have swapped emails with Tony from Clarity. I see he has plenty of good recommendations. If anyone has any local Melbourne calibration experts they have dealings with, please let me know here. PM me if you were not so happy with someone you used. I was watching a 1080p version of Hamilton the musical last night. The complete visually and aural experience is stunning. If it looks this good before calibration then it might be Xmas come early. Regards Cazzesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noddyc43 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Congratulations on the OLED I did the same move from a 50" plasma Pana to an LG OLED. My problem was that the damn plasma just would not die! I ended up giving it away as the temptation of an OLED was just too much. No regrets from my end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusion Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Cazzesman, Tony is the man. He calibrated my LG C9 65" and it was money extremely well spent. Oh by the way with the weather hotting up, you have removed that plastic cling wrap on the back of the LG right? Amazing how many people completely miss noticing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture quality, the GUI and even the looks and build of the Oleds is amazing. Anybody sitting on the fence plasma to oled is missing out. I would love to buy a GX 77”..... Feeling very fortunate to be able to grab a CX 77 Black Friday deal. Absolutely stunning picture. Waaay better than the old Panasonic TV and the JVC X3 projector. Local senior management also said she didn’t like it at first. I set it to cinema dark and now it’s not going anywhere. It is smaller than the projector image but self lit pixels are awesome. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray H Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 @Steam Nice buy, glad you are happy with it ! Any chance of a hint on price and retailer ? The Sony A9G is cheaper than the CX77 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard of people getting it for $6500 but there was no movement when asked. I think the A9G was still with an 8 in frontal the time. Although just looking now the A9G is now $6888 at JB.

Apologies for the thread hijack, but i no bugger all about TV's. I have enough of an issue with my audio addiction...! What's the 'better' screen to go for if they were the same price, Sony or LG? Or does that kind of question start an online war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steam Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 They are the same base screen. Different operating system. The lg CX is a more recent tv with hdmi 2.1 or a flavour thereof if you think that’s important. After that it’s arguments about motion processing etc. I doubt most could tell the difference. as above see Rtings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with us (from GG on BF). We got it for $7013, delivery, wall bracket and install by LG included. But I figure the fact that's it's not due until at least the end of the week had something to do with this discount. Still, also replacing the amp and source unit/cabinet, which also hasn't arrived yet. Maybe by Christmas? @cazzesman, did you get yours calibrated yet? And if so, recommendations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the TV isn't here yet, and it'll take at least a week to get 100hours up on it (depends on the week). Where in Melbourne are you located?
