Deep Colour on or off and RGB full or limited for LG 43UF680V?

[_Seth]

I have a LG 43UF680V and am battling to understand all this "deep colour" and "RGB Full or Limited" stuff. Can someone please recommend what options I should use on my PS5 based on the specs of my (non HDR) TV? And furthermore, what colour gamut, dynamic colour, black level and dynamic contrast on the TV should be?

Deep colour - If you turn this on you might be able to get 10-bit colour from your PS5 even without HDR in the TV, however I'm not sure as I don't own a PS5 and don't know what output options it has.

RGB Full or limited - I think this relates to 4:4:4 colour input from a PC. Don't worry about this unless it doubles as a monitor.

Colour Gamut - auto or standard at a guess.

Dynamic colour - off.

Black level - low, if that's the one that keeps black black.

Dynamic contrast - off.

Thanks!

RGB Full or Limited ... you should set the device and display to the same and use test patterns to calibrate brightness and contrast.

PCs use 0-255 and discs are mastered to 16-235. If you set incorrectly you can crush blacks or elevate them, if your display can handle the larger range you'll have foot room and head room, which can help with calibrating (foot room) and see the odd content that has a bit more head room (whiter than white).

There is no "RGB range" on the TV, unless it's a synonym for "Colour gamut," in which case because the PS5 allows "Full" I should set to "Wide"?

I'd imagine it's HDMI Black Level. Color gamut should be set to Normal or Auto, Wide will oversaturate the image (with the LG).

HDTVTEST on YouTube has set-up guides for consoles if you're unsure.

PS5 nativity outputs RGB Full.

So I’d try that.

So I'm familiar with LG settings if not that particular TV. Setting colour gamut to wide will oversaturate it. You might like the way it looks, but it isn't right. Leave colour gamut alone at auto is if has it, or standard if not..

What you want is HDMI Deep Colour enabled on that HDMI input, then go to the PS5 and it's auto detect should so the rest of the work for you.

I've just checked on the RGB full or limited, since I wasn't 100% sure and yes it's related to PC input mainly. For your purposes, leave it at Full.

Set RGB to limited. Most devices you use will use 16-235 anyway, and even if they support sRGB like a PC you're better off setting them to limited anyways. Having it set to full and giving the TV a limited signal will make the picture look washed out.

I haven’t got a PS5, but Derb says it’s natively full?

To avoid confusion just make sure both the TV on that input and the PS5 are set to the same RGB level.

There is no "RGB range" on the TV. Only "Black level" - should that be full or low?

1 of modern TVs greatest and notorious drawbacks. RGB whether full or limited seems to tamper with color palettes and white/black 'levels.' I recommend you adjust the color depth on your set, and sharpen the texture with Dynamic Color and Super Resolution.
