![]() Though the company overall is profiting, its mobile division posted a $172 million loss in the second quarter of 2018. Of all the new Galaxy phones, the more affordable Galaxy S10E is the phone LG needs to lure potential buyers away from.Īnd lure it must. ![]() But the biggest threat to the G8 isn't next-gen data speeds or fancy folding displays. While LG was launching its LG G8 ThinQ flagship phone, its biggest rival Samsung announced five (!) Galaxy phones, including a 5G-enabled model and the headline-stealing Galaxy Fold. If you often watch in a bright room or take the TV outside to watch a game, the Samsung The Terrace can get much brighter to combat glare.You have to hand it to LG for trying. If you don't care about image accuracy and want the brightest image possible, we got 480 cd/m² in the 2% window in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode with Dynamic Contrast set to 'Medium', Peak Brightness on 'High', and OLED Light and Contrast at their max. The measurements were taken post-calibration in the 'Expert (Dark Room)' Picture Mode, with OLED Light to '100' and Peak Brightness to 'High.' Before calibration, the TV was slightly less bright. Turning this setting to 'High', which is what we tested with, makes most scenes brighter, but large areas are less bright, so the ABL is more aggressive. With this setting turned off, most scenes are between 294 to 308 cd/m², with 166 cd/m² in the 100% window. Like the LG C9 OLED, the LG CX has a Peak Brightness setting, which changes the way the ABL performs. It has an Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL) that significantly dims the screen when large areas get bright, so that's why the 100% window is significantly less bright. The LG CX has decent SDR peak brightness, but it may not be enough to combat glare from direct sunlight. ![]() In the 'Expert Dark' Picture Mode with Peak Brightness set to 'High', the 2% windows reach 441 cd/m², and it gets dimmer as the window size increases, with the 100% peak and sustained windows at 197 cd/m². We measured between 243 cd/m² and 252 cd/m² in all windows, except the 100% windows, which we measure at 176 cd/m². In PC mode, leaving Game Peak Brightness disabled seems to result in less brightness variation. From our tests, we only saw a 5 cd/m² dip in brightness. This disables the dimming that happens over time when a static image is displayed. Go to the OLED tab and disable 'TCP' and 'GSR'. Using a service remote, you can access a hidden menu by pressing on 'Start' and '0413'. It seems like there's a way to minimize the ABL, and also limit how much the screen dims after a few minutes of displaying the image. Update : We've retested the TV with the latest firmware (version 3.21.16). The new PC's results have been validated, and we've updated the numbers in the review below. We discovered an issue with the computer we were using to test input lag, so we retested it with a different PC. We retested 24p judder with different BFI settings, and have updated the results below. We incorrectly listed this TV as flicker-free, but it's not. We retested the TV with an HDMI 2.1 source.ġ440p is only supported with a custom resolution, it's not natively supported.įreeSync support has been added in the latest firmware update (version 03.10.20).ĬalMAN has confirmed that the LG CX now supports auto-calibration. We've retested the SDR Brightness with the latest firmware (version 3.21.16). We retested the input lag and variable refresh rate (VRR) with the latest firmware.
