I’ve pretty much calibrated my OLED perfectly but no matter what i do nearly every piece of content that i watch just looks awful - everything has grey blacks.
Watched Winter Soldier and Falcon on my C9 but decided to watch the second half on my living room TV (Philips OLED) and i was shocked to see how better the contrast on the Philips OLED was - in comparison, my LG C9 looked beyond awful. The only way i can achieve the same looking picture quality is lowering the brightness to 47. But i’m not so sure if this is a good idea. But this isn’t just with Dolby Vision content.
Its the same thing with SDR - i used RTings calibration and currently watching AHS: 1984 which is mostly set in dark areas and I can’t believe how terrible the contrast is... like shockingly bad. Isn’t OLED supposed to have pure contrast and isn’t LG the maker of all OLED panels? So why does a OLED TV that’s a year older than my C9 have better picture quality than my C9.
I know don’t understand the point of owning an OLED - if I can’t fix this issue i’ll just go for an LED.
