D-Nice is well known and apparently very active in LG and OLED calibration. I have no doubt that he's fully aware of the TPC dimming and does whatever necessary to avoid it compromising the calibration.

I have another question for you guys. Any of you having issues with the Disney + App on your LG TVs?? The specific issue is switching between the IMAX Enhanced Versions and regular scope widescreen versions of some of the Marvel films. For some reason, it gets stuck on one version. Say, I was watching the Scope Widescreen version of Multiverse of Madness and I wanted to switch to the IMAX Enhanced version, I cannot. Even if I choose it, it won’t switch it. It’s like a glitch.

I can switch between them on my iOS app and Amazon Fire Stick app, but not on the LG one. If anyone could test this to see if they are having the same issues or not, that would be awesome!!

You can’t accurately calibrate an OLED with TPC On. So they likely went into the SM & disabled that along with GSR, did the calibration, then went back in & turned both of those features back on.

Interesting.

I have not messed with both versions. It’s likely both an LG/App issue. IMAX Enhanced is relatively a new feature for Disney + so likely LG didn’t get an update for Disney +

You could try signing out of Disney + on the LG app & that might reset the app.

It is an issue with the LG Version of the Disney + App. It has worked before switching between versions however for some reason there is a glitch now. I posted this in the Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness thread and someone is saying the exact same thing and they have a 2016 LG OLED. So, clearly there is a major glitch here!!

Yep, ok.

You could try resetting the app. Either by signing out & if that doesn’t work, you could possibly delete the app & then re-download it. Though that would only be a temporary fix until LG or Disney + update on their end.

I did all of those things and it’s still an issue so it’s on Disney’s and LG’s to get it fixed. I let LG know via Twitter. Not sure if it will 100% be investigated but one can only hope.

The only reason why I know about this is that I was looking at Eternals because I knew it dimmed down when I had the TPC option “on”. I wanted to see what it looked like when it was “off” and not dim. That’s when I ran into the issue. Otherwise, I would have never known.

You just reminded me of how much garbage is on Disney +

I suggest giving “Prey” a watch. It’s decent. Also if you wanna stress test TPC, watch Ozark on Netflix. Definitely unwatchable on any OLED with TPC On.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you use Calman's auto-cal it will disable TPC during calibration without needing a service remote or affecting warranty.

Calman doesn't actually disable the TPC function, but it performs the pattern insertion I described above to prevent TPC from dimming while test pattern patches are being measured.

Quote from their AutoCal Guide:

To prevent an LG OLED display from entering its auto dimming mode during extended measurements, the Calman Pattern Insertion feature periodically inserts a different test pattern during extended test pattern measurements, to reset the display’s auto-dimming timer.

The issue is still going on. Anyone else experiencing the same thing with their LG OLED Tv on Disney + playing some of the IMAX Enhanced Marvel Films?? The issue is again with the “versions” section where it’s stuck on only 1 version of the film (which is right now the scope version). For some reason there is a glitch and it won’t switch, even if I click on the IMAX enhanced version, it still doesn’t do it.

Sucks

Do you have other options for Disney + ?

I decided to sign out of all devices including LG TV because someone was hacking my account so now I just use 1 device which isn’t LG.

Not really. I will say there is a work around for this. If I use the iOS Disney + app on my iPhone, I can choose the IMAX Enhanced Version or the regular Widescreen version on there and then it will actually play that one on my LG TV.

But from what I figure, it’s a glitch with the app for LG TV owners. It worked in the past but I guess this last app update in July may have screwed up something. You would think by now there would be people complaining, but I guess the issue hasn’t come up with many people yet.

I just watch the default version. (Which is probably what most do)

Which is IMAX Enhanced if you don’t change it.

Though I understand the frustration when you are supposed to be able to switch between the 2 if you like. As you said, it worked before so LG/Disney need to fix this.

In the meantime I would use your mobile device to select what version you want.

That's probably what I will do for the time being.

I just want to be sure it's happening to all LG TV owners and not just me. So, for any of you LG OLED or LG TV owners have Disney +, can you please check to see if you can't switch from watching the IMAX Enhanced version of a Marvel film to the regular Widescreen Version. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a good one to check. That or any of the last 2 Avenger Films. Would love to hear if you can or can't through your LG/TV Disney + App!!

I figured out the issue with YouTube on the LG C1 using an Apple TV4K box.

With Apple options, you can select Match Framerate & Match Dynamic Range. Disabling Match Framerate resolves the issue of video playback issues.

Specifically what happens is Apple TV4K is in real time trying to adjust the Framerate on a video per video basis & even an ad per ad basis causing a 3 second delay which results in a black screen during this transition.

This is a 3-week old problem that effects YouTube. I haven’t seen this issue on any other apps like Netflix or Disney or Prime. Also it isn’t recommended to disable Match Framerate because if you do, watching any movies that are 24p will cause Framerate stuttering.

Sucks because of all your YouTube options, Apple TV4K has the best video picture quality.

I'm most likely going to be a new LG G2 owner come November but the Samsung QN90B is my second choice. I've never owned an OLED and I was talking to a few owners and one guy said his CX developed burn in due to gaming rather quickly and he now owns a C2 and uses a LED monitor for gaming on now. My use is about 60% 1080P Blu-Ray/Satellite TV 20% gaming and 20% 4K Blu-Ray/Streaming and some of my viewing is 4X3 older shows. I'm only a casual gamer and can go months without turning on either console but when I do get into a game I can easily go 4-6+ hours at a time on a game although its not an everyday thing. Hopefully the G2 can serve me well and the 5 year warranty is a plus.

[Robert Zohn]

@Lozin, you will LOVE LG's new G2 Gallery Series OLED TV! Excellent TV Choice!!

[Lozin]

Thanks Robert, I think so too. Now if only you had a store in Canada you would be my first and only call.

I’m closing in on 4000 hours in 11 months of ownership on my C1 with EVO.

95% gaming. A few games I’ve put 500+ hours into. The only not normal thing I do with my viewing is I purposely turn off the TV after 4ish hours of use for around 20 minutes than am back at it for another 5-6 hours.

Not a single indication of image retention on mine.

Maybe deuterium is the real deal?
