    Will the LG BX be getting DV120hz update?



  2. Simon Maduxx on October 2, 2021 at 7:51 am

    The blues are now properly saturated and the hazy grey midtones is gone. REDS, however are still orangey. Its very easy to test with cyberpunk, driving around in the night



  3. Dee Harp on October 2, 2021 at 7:52 am

    Can you do a video on what is the point of Dolby Vision without Dynamic Meta Data and games without Native Support? I mean prompt Triggers on the TV are cool and all. But I always thought what makes Dolby Vision cool is that is dynamic.



  4. John V on October 2, 2021 at 7:52 am

    C9 lg #1



  5. Damon on October 2, 2021 at 7:55 am

    Hmmm, I think lg will run DV on c9…



  6. Nicholas Moore on October 2, 2021 at 7:56 am

    Does anyone here know if we should recalibrate in-game HDR settings, or keep them as they are/were? As an example, I played several games, but it isn’t until now where I am checking the HDR screen on Resident Evil Village, and the square I need to make barely visible now differs from when I used standard HDR. Before I’d have to slide it all the way up, but now it is only five clicks up from the lowest.

    the review master!!!!



  8. chuuee13 on October 2, 2021 at 7:58 am

    Best tv guy in the biz!!!!



  9. Matt Pipke on October 2, 2021 at 8:00 am

    Its too bad about the C9, I bought an E9 but broke it so had to replace it got the Cx and now it looks like it was meant to be.
    Love my 77" Cx

    Xbox Series X + LG = The best choice for games



  11. Scott Sattler on October 2, 2021 at 8:04 am

    RE: the Sony – when it receives the VRR /ALLM update (which is beginning to roll out now) would that then combat the input lag introduced by Dobby vision?



  12. Arschad S on October 2, 2021 at 8:04 am

    What about LG Nanocell series?



  13. oldyyy on October 2, 2021 at 8:05 am

    Dolby vision used to work for games like Halo and Psychonauts 2 before the update, but ever since the update its just regular HDR.

    I did the test on the console and my tv shows it supports 4K 60fps dolby vision gaming, but it doesn’t turn on. I have the B9.

    Any advice, good sir?



  14. WebFabio on October 2, 2021 at 8:11 am

    The best tv is mine LG CX 🙂



  15. Ba Dinh Nguyen on October 2, 2021 at 8:12 am

    Hi Vincent
    Could please review the LG Qned 90/91 4k tv? 😄😄 I have my eyes on that set for the next upgrade
    Thanks



  16. Alexander Pfender on October 2, 2021 at 8:12 am

    I fell in to the SONY NextGen feature promises, but they never delivered. My next TV will be LG for sure.



  17. Danny., on October 2, 2021 at 8:14 am

    I got the CX 55inch best tv around very similar to the C1



  18. Mark Carrico on October 2, 2021 at 8:15 am

    My nano90 LG still says it isn’t supported when I check my 4k details on the series x..My tv has Dolby Vision IQ built in..does that not count??!



  19. johnmiceter on October 2, 2021 at 8:15 am

    Does that mean the CX will support Dolby vision 120 hz in the future?



  20. Iguana Divergent on October 2, 2021 at 8:18 am

    Will my legendary Sony XE93 (X930E) that supports Dolby Vision still play 1440p @120hz dolby vision or 4k 60hz accurately?



  21. CodMillo on October 2, 2021 at 8:20 am

    Now my XBOX Series X supports Dolby Vision but my 2020 Samsung TV not…



  22. jayp pop on October 2, 2021 at 8:22 am

    Looks good 😊 on c1



  23. EggySan096 on October 2, 2021 at 8:23 am

    the main reason i gouty LG C1 , was due to your reviews, thanks again and it was worth every penny;loving my tv.



  24. KrissrocK on October 2, 2021 at 8:24 am

    So the hold up for getting the Game Bar and the DV support on the CX/GX models is only software?



  25. Liam Featherstone on October 2, 2021 at 8:26 am

    I’ve got the LG Bx 55" with the Xbox series X and for £1450 in total you can’t go wrong for both the TV and the Xbox X



  26. Deimien Dew on October 2, 2021 at 8:28 am

    Hello all , do you know something about BX series? Regards



  27. Faal Dovahkiin on October 2, 2021 at 8:30 am

    I have a TCL 55r615 and game mode turns on then when dolby vision turns on the game mode turns off I can turn It on manually but I’m confused why ALLM won’t work properly



  28. Tzr Gazza on October 2, 2021 at 8:31 am

    I want a 55inch lg tv for my series x, what model pls? Thankyou.



  29. Steven Bickhart on October 2, 2021 at 8:32 am

    I tried DV gaming on my Sony 900h and even in DV dark the picture looked brighter and oversaturated compared to HDR10.

    I strongly feel that Sony wasn’t thinking about DV gaming because PS5 doesn’t support it, and their TV’s are marketed as "ps5 ready." Why give Xbox users an edge.

    I’m just hoping that when Sony finally releases the VRR update, we’re not left with issues related to flickering and crushed blacks with HDR like we’ve seen with other manufacturers.

    All of this tech is still so new to TVs it really is a headache



  30. Simon Maduxx on October 2, 2021 at 8:33 am

    + Ayo Vince, I’ma let you finish, but check out DV on a Visio one time. It’s looking seriously good right now.

    I turned it off during the desaturation debacle during the late summer. Re-enabled it last week, and it’s been gangbusters (except for the red!s). Sometimes it looks SO GOOD (destiny, GOW5, PSO2:NGS, cyberpunk)- the gradients are smoother, it just has that UMPH – similar to comparing DV & HDR10 movies. Dv is just better.

    Sorry for Samsung owners, no DV for you, and no one cares about bootleg HDR10+.



  31. Peter Leysen on October 2, 2021 at 8:34 am

    I have the c9. Is the difference that big that I should buy a c1? can anyone see the difference with the naked eye?



  32. Space Dovahkiin on October 2, 2021 at 8:34 am

    Any chance last year NANOs can get 4k/120 DV update? 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽



  33. Biscuits N Tea on October 2, 2021 at 8:34 am

    How good actually is it? I was told that they’re basically all the same, being hdr10+ (samsung version) and dolby vision



  34. Cole Fellner on October 2, 2021 at 8:34 am

    Is everyone using 55 color for game optimizer mode? Can’t find answers from anyone if that’s more accurate for or not then the default 50?



  35. NYK Fan on October 2, 2021 at 8:34 am

    I turned on Dolby Vision gaming on my Sony A1E and although it looks much better than HDR10, I had to turn it off because I couldn’t deal with the increased lag



  36. Green Goat on October 2, 2021 at 8:35 am

    It’s definitely looks much better, but adds very noticeable input lag on my Hisense tv



  37. Tim Too Much on October 2, 2021 at 8:35 am

    Why on my lg TV some games look washed out with dolby vision and some look good ?Is there a way to correct the washed out look?



  38. WHC on October 2, 2021 at 8:36 am

    I have lg oled c9 and no game starts via DV. why? checked gears 5, ms flight simultor, dirt 5. these games are supposedly powered by DV. for me, each of these games is triggered by HDR. why?



  39. FlynnsFortune on October 2, 2021 at 8:37 am

    My TV has Dolby Vision, but I find SDR and HDR10 way better than Dolby. Dolby looks really dark/dim and theres no way to change the settings on my TV.



  40. Dart Haus on October 2, 2021 at 8:38 am

    Sony sucks as always.



  41. Monte Veskeii on October 2, 2021 at 8:39 am

    I can’t wait for 120hz content outside of gaming to get anywhere. Part of the reason I picked 4k60 for the next couple years is because I realized 4k content exists and can even be seen on YouTube while 120hz is a ghost town outside of gaming and looking at GoPro footage



  42. Jonathan Sanchez on October 2, 2021 at 8:40 am

    Is he going to do best settings for dolby vision?



  43. AliFOJ5 on October 2, 2021 at 8:41 am

    Not gonna lie there are more C9 users including me out there and I bought the tv just so I can get the best gaming experience so it will be really stupid of LG to not find a way to support C9 owners as well. But in any case I still think I’ll take 48 gbs bandwidth over 120hz dolby vision.



  44. MikeDaUnicorn on October 2, 2021 at 8:42 am

    This update broke my G-Sync to my PC.. anyone else?



  45. Siranyt on October 2, 2021 at 8:43 am

    Thank you for asking about the 2019 LG models! Even though I don’t keep my hopes up it doesn’t hurt to remind LG that there are many users who are interested in them. Also – if LG finds out it cannot be realized (for whatever reason) it would be great to know as well.



  46. Eric Atherton on October 2, 2021 at 8:44 am

    I was sold the Sony 900H by the guy at Best Buy saying this tv will have everything needed for series x. Lie, is there a chance Sony has an update to fix the Dolby vision 120hz?



  47. James Kaffka on October 2, 2021 at 8:46 am

    Does the Series X support Dolby Vision UHD movies now with this update?



  48. Colin on October 2, 2021 at 8:46 am

    On my CX, the Xbox already says it is capable of DV gaming 🤔



  49. DJ Taranis on October 2, 2021 at 8:47 am

    What about Dolby Vision Gaming on LG NanoCell TVs? Will 120Hz be supported on them do you think?



  50. R5_0H on October 2, 2021 at 8:48 am

    If you have an 8 bit plus frc monitor should you leave it on 8 bit for the Xbox settings or 10bit
