![]() ![]() Oddly, once calibrated my C8 copy did about 95.2% of P3 down from a C7 that did 96.6 in 1931 xy (I remeasured). Peak white is about 100nits higher than 2017s. Other improvements – banding out of black seems to be improved over 2017 models with less panel noise (especially when seen in Full Range i.e. The latest version of Calman supports direct control (SDR & HDR) of 2018 LG OLED displays. A value of less than 1 is essentially perfect. 6 and HDR values that are higher (and variable – possibly due to panel heat on the Mixing Light CR-100 meter). I’m getting average SDR deltaE values of. I’ve done this routine myself a few times and it works extremely well. Right now, Spectracal (Calman) has an exclusive relationship with LG for controlling the 2018 sets – what this means is that Calman can control the LG set through a network connection and upload LUTs directly to the display. The LG 2018 OLEDs including the C8 feature the Alpha 9 processor, which allows for integrated 1D and 3D Look Up Tables directly in the monitor. Thanks in part to the LG made Alpha 9 processors, in the 2018 C8 and above you can now accurately calibrate for both SDR and HDR with no need for an external LUT box. Well, the big news on the 2018 LG OLEDs (C8 and above) is the ability to access and store 1D and 3D LUTs (33sided) directly on the TV. To get the badge of reference monitor, the display must be extremely accurate, and to achieve that, on pre-2018 models, an external LUT box (at least in professional setups) is used I used an FSI BoxIO. It’s my feeling that in the past year or two the LGs (along with other companies using the LG panels) have become so good that at least for SDR you can consider them true reference monitors. In fact, since the EF9500, I’ve owned one or more copies of every generation since. It’s no secret that I’ve been a fan of LG OLED displays for a long time. Speaking of comments, as always, if you have questions or something to add to the conversation, please let me know.

Since it’s been a while – remember, Gear Head articles are not meant to be complete or even close to comprehensive product reviews, but rather quick snapshots of new gear that I’m using and I think you that you might need or want. In this installment, we’ll take a look at the 2018 LG C8 OLED, the HD Fury Integral 4k processor/converter, the AJA Kumo 12G 16×16 router, the OWC Mercury HeliosFX eGPU expansion box, and an affordable TeamViewer alternative – Splashtop, Yep, it’s been a while since a Gear Head installment! Partly because the back half of 2017 and early 2018 hasn’t been all that exciting (gear wise) and partly because I’ve been so focused on building a new facility, I’ve been derelict in my duties!
