Thanks gel.

How can I get 4K on my 1920 x 1080 monitor (or my 2048 x 1536 iPad Mini 3 screen) to see your amazing pics at their best?

Can you link to some full size 4K resolution photos rather than wee 640pixel jobbies?

Of course I can't.

Just pointing out the futility of posting 640 pixel images to portray the superiority of 4K television pictures when they will be viewed (mostly) on lower res devices like monitors and tablet screens that haven't been calibrated..

i bet you could see the difference between your lcd TV and gels oled. Get some on with dark scenes and let's see eh....

4K looks so good especially when the camera is 4K too and the 4K shot scenes.

So the LG 55eg960 in John Lewis again today on HDR - it looked so good! There are things I prefer about the LG models over the Panasonic and vice versa. But when it comes to night time black levels one of the most important things for me I prefer the LG. The Panasonic looks grey on Kick Ass at the scene where Big Daddy dies at night time on the Panasonic during the day though it is pitch black. I can't work it out? I have tried different settings and not much seems to be helping. Nick has suggested I get Gordan Fraser out again to calibrate. Will that do the trick? How do I explain what I want? On the LG at night time when the screen went pitch black you couldn't see the TV - nada.

Most people who would look at the scene would say it's the same though - I think it must come down to the processing. The blacks look the same but are not as crushed on the Panasonic as the LG. How do I get them to look crushed on the Panasonic? I am now trying normal settings but all the setting look good and are about the same.

Is it possible for a TV to be calibrated with crushed blacks or is it just an LG thing? Cheers. Like I say though during the day pitch black.

Ideally you should have both televisions.

That might be the only solution as weirdly as it sounds!

its called shadow detail Gel.. This is the issue with lg software driven TVs, they are too dark. Your Panasonic is calibrated as the director intended.

for example if I switch my picture mode to normal on my VT, the blacks are too dark and crushed. Back to Isf and all is good with inky blacks in the right area with grey shadow detail....

stop messing around with picture modes because this will do you head in, get used to the calibrated settings.

I think you're right, it is a bit silly but I am finding it really annoying. I don't even though if the new LG's or current ones look like my LG did. It's not as if I watch that scene a lot either especially at night time but I did enjoy it when it went pitch black. The Panasonic plasma was very similar in the way that behaved too. It is behaving like the Panasonic OLED in this one scene. The Pioneer TV would go all black too though at night time.

True cinema looks like the best setting for this scene.

 

[bigboss]

Even Panasonic is capable of absolute zero blacks. It's OLED! As mentioned, looks like you're used to crushed blacks with no shadow detail (which isn't what you would want in a picture). By all means, speak to Gordon Fraser and see what he says.

 

[ellisdj]

Gel try watching that scene with your eyes closed if all you want to see is black

I have tried asking on AV too and they suggested a few things like turning down the brightness and luminance levels but that don't seem to work. I think I have just got to live with it.
