Sony 950G vs LG C9 - 40k price difference
- Thread starter BlrTechie
- Start date
I considered the Sony before picking C9 55" b in Jan. Honestly OLED and LED TVs comparison is not correct. Pick an OLED, you will love the content esp DV and HDR will be awesome. I use my TV in bright room and I don't really see any issue with viewing. Night time the content shines on the TV.

Sony launched FALD models in urop very affordable. May be that's why they have dropped price.

LG C9 OLED vs Sony X950G Side-by-Side TV Comparison
The Sony X950G and the LG C9 use different panel types, each with their strengths and weaknesses. The C9 delivers the best dark room performance and has a nearly instantaneous response time, which results in extremely clear motion. Unfortunately, this also comes with a risk of permanent burn-in...

Whatever they say I cannot agree with rtings on one thing. They always recommend warm2 for OLED white balance. I always see whites in a yellow tone with the warm 2. I got 3 times my display exchanged and also had tried this on showroom TVs. Warm 2 in my opinion is yellowish. Not pure white. I set it on medium. To me that’s the place where I find a white paper looks white.
they say 6500k is the temperature film makers use. Agreed. Then if I keep it at a neutral place, I would still see the intentional warmth of film makers filters and at times when it goes back to neutral or cold tone it makes a dramatic shift. But with warm, everything is still warm. Example : game of thrones swing between the desert like scenes in yellow tone and the blue tone of Winterfell.In warm 2, everything is too warm that the Winterfell scenes are not blueish. also with white peoples skin tones, I can pick up more variance in skin color on medium setting than warm 2. Warm 2 normalizes everything to a warm tone. How can it be a reference ?

Interesting point of view. I have a LG OLED.
Almost all reviewers start with a warm setting since that’s closer to the D65 white point. I guess a good white point is the basis of rich colours. Choosing a wrong one will throw off colours. Obviously, when you go from warm 2 to warm 1 there is too much blue and picture sheds that cinematic feel.
I always use warm 2 for SDR movies. I am watching a movie now, switching back and forth between the two, warm 2 looks “correct” to me
Surely, any extra warmth can be adjusted using the 2 point white balance controls.Good to see such discussion. I am no expert just an enthusiast, so do correct if I am wrong.

Yes, that’s what I am saying, the d65 color point is what they say accurate white. To my eyes, with a 100 percent white YouTube video or plain white image it appears yellowish. May be it varies a bit from panel to panel, but I had 3 panels which produces accurate white to my eyes on medium than on warm 2. I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max which as per reviews is well calibrated. Also, have a Samsung s10. The videos taken on them, when copied and played via usb appears very close to the apples display closely on medium than the warm 2. May be it’s a matter of preference. Anyway all my presets are identical with just varying level of oled so that I can just switch between them according to the ambient light. One of them is warm2 when I feel like “I must follow rtings”Interesting point of view. I have a LG OLED.

This is not the right way to do it but hopefully the difference between Medium and Warm 2 is visible. Max out the brightness on whatever device you are viewing and disable True Tone on Apple devices.
Medium is a bit cooler. Warm 2 has that nice film feel to it.

True that. Set it to what as per viewer preference. Some prefer Standard for movies which is perfectly understandable. Just don’t go extra dynamic

2 point WB, High Blue to -8.
I watch plenty movies so took some time to experiment with 20 point WB.
Tried different settings from various forums, used Disney WoW disc for minor adjustments and tweaked a bit for what I felt are good looking pictures.
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
