Hello everyone,

I would like to share my FINAL set of Optimized Settings for all LG OLEDs from 2017 to 2023 Series for both SDR / HDR / DOLBY VISION Movies & TV Shows + Xbox One/Series X|S , PC, PS4/PS5 and Switch gaming with the best PQ and lowest Input-Lag results possible (from 4ms to 21ms based on model).

These settings are the results of 6+ years of gathering professional calibration results (using external equipment and software), valuable online knowledge from the most reliable sources and direct testing & analysis.

Yeah, I know, "settings cannot be copy/pasted from TV to TV as they're all different" , but tested LG OLED variance between models is much lower then average, and even within a 3% variance you will still experience a much more accurate image compared to default presets, plus CMS and WB advanced options weren't touched in order to avoid variance error as much as possible.


There are 6 Profiles to independently 1-time-Setup for each source/content combination, and then forget about it.

In order to do it, just change the video source to the one you want to calibrate (for example: webOS Netflix app, or to HDMI1 connected to Xbox Series X / PS5) and then load up the type of video content you want to calibrate (for example: launch an SDR Game, or an HDR Game, or a Dolby Vision movie).

Once you're ready, apply the Optimized Settings specifically for your LG OLED Series (see the sections below to identify your TV settings).

Optimized Settings for LG 2019 up to 2022 OLED Series:​

If you have a 2019-2022 LG OLED apply the following changes first, then proceed with the updated Overall Settings Chart below:

  • Use "Game Console" Icon for game consoles and mixed usage scenario (Games + Movies & Media);
  • You can change the HDMI icon going into "TV Home Dashboard" and then "All Inputs" section;
  • Use "Original" aspect ratio for all sources except for gaming ones: for those use the "16:9" aspect ratio in order to fix potential input lag bugs.

NOTE: Don't forget to adjust HDR "Sliders" also in game settings if available. Usually, for these TVs, you need to "increase" the level of Max HDR Brightness "Slider" to make the game logo/icon totally disappear in a white background, or set it to a numerical number around 4.000 nits (for Dynamic Contrast or Dynamic Tone Mapping: On) or 800 nits for HGIG (1.000 nits for LG G2; 1.500 nits for LG G3).

Dolby Vision gaming is not recommended. Click here to know more.

Paper White could be set around 200 nits in all cases.

This is the reason why, even with both the console and the TVs properly calibrated, some games may look "dark" or "washed out" if these settings are left to default.

Hey, is there anyway you could use a different image hosting service for the images with all the settings? Imgur on mobile is actually trash. There is no way to zoom in on the images in the Patreon app, Imgur app, or Imgur website. End up needing to do a whole workaround to just to save them to the phone to finally be able to zoom.

Click the thumbnail image to enlarge it, then you can zoom. Better if you download it first and/or use a PC (or Desktop mode) anyway. Even if imgur is not ideal on mobile, it's still the only one not auo-deleting the images after a while...

Do you turn on VRR for unsupported games? I keep wondering if I should have it on lol

Yes, VRR should always be on when gaming. If a game has issues with it just remember to disable it only for that game

Do you have a post that compares the visual difference between FMM + DTM On/Off/HGIG vs Game Optimizer with HGIG? If not, it’d be a great idea for a new post so people can see the difference 😉

Yes, here: https://youtu.be/T81PDB0rME8 (Cinema with DTM: Off vs Game Optimizer with HGIG vs FMM with the new DTM: On) FMM + forced HGIG is missing (I found out only later) but imagine it with the brightest and most accurate highlight/sun ;)

Sono d'accordo con te, ma il problema cardine in questi pannelli è la luminosità.
