Published 30 Sep 2020

We checked out the latest firmware for LG's 2020 OLEDs including the CX OLED, and verified that the company has fixed the G-SYNC incompatibility issues, as well as the 120Hz chroma subsampling in [PC] mode. Please note that we only focused our testing on these two problems with the Nvidia RTX 30 Series cards... more indepth analysis of the firmware update will come later. ======================== **Click Below to SUBSCRIBE for More Reviews, Sneak Peeks & Tips: /channel/UCcCYOO2uYPnG-21WDOWdwew ======================== VISIT HDTV Test http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/ FOLLOW US! https://www.facebook.com/HDTVTest https://twitter.com/hdtvtest https://www.instagram.com/hdtvtest https://twitter.com/vincent_teoh https://www.patreon.com/hdtvtest

I just got the 65" cx yesterday and am waiting for availability for the 3080 (i don' t really need the 3090) just wanted to say thanks as you and a few other channels (stop the fomo, rtings, digital trends, the villa man, etc. I watched a ton of videos before spending that $2250) have finally convinced me to get the cx, and my family and i really love it. ...Expand 2

@ye-rochawkins54324 years ago @hdtvtest do you know if a firmware fix is coming for the raised black issues in dolby vision content? Im noticing this issue on my 55 cx. I just got id="hidden14" this tv about two weeks ago. I notice the floating blacks and raised blacks in most dv content. Especially in the star wars films/shows on disney+. I always use these movies and shows to test my sets, as i am very familiar with them, and know how they should look. Although its not all the time, its definitely there and bothering me. Ive been contemplating on contacting lg about this issue. I assume theyre already aware of the issue tho. I noticed slightly raised black on my old tcl r625 with the same content, but it was a different type of raised blacks, and was primarily caused by being a fald set, and not being self emissive. Overall, my lg is definitely superior with dv content than my r625, but the raised black, or rather floating blacks is definitely annoying. I really see the floating blacks on logo screens, during the intro of a movie and shows. Last night, it almost looked like i had a fald set, rather than an oled. I wish it was easy to describe in words, but its rather hard to convey the exact issue im having. I do feel like i have a lot of shadow detail due to these raised blacks, so maybe thats the reason? Who knows. I was hoping to get some insight into the matter. I thought about bumping down thelevel, but definitely feel like that will cause crushed black levels and complete loss of shadow detail. ...Expand 1

@aurok73354 years ago So i made further testing and made 2 interesting findings:
1. Rgb mode in nvidia panel can be used with full dynamic range, while with ycbcr 4 2. Most important: i had badwhile g-sync was on in wow and these settings made it almost buttery smooth:
- in nvidia panel set vsync to application mode and turn g-sync on in full+windowed mode and latency mode to ultra
- then ingame use vsync on, turn all fps limitations off and
- in tv settings turn off amd freesync
then enjoy!
all these little tweaks with noticeable improvements make me hope that it just needs some more fine-tuning for lg and nvidia. ...Expand 1
