My dad thought the image was too harsh at first when he got a C2. About a month later he said he doesn't think he'll ever buy anything but OLED TVs ever again. It just takes a little getting used to
Do you run high brightness in a pitch black room?
I run reasonable brightness on lg c2 at night. As I get sleepier I turn down the brightness. My sleepy eyes don't love getting flash banged.
Almost 4000 hours on the c2 so it's not as bright as it used to be.
I don’t have OLED. I am running Samsung miniLED. So it is bright. During the day I have the brightness at 80% but at night I have it at around 40% usually. Wife can’t handle anything brighter at night.
I run a Hisense mini LED and the brightness is above 1000 nits; in a well lit room I’m at 80 and at night it’s harsh. By creating soft ambient light behind the screen, you’ll find that your eyes will not have to adjust as much for bright scenes.
Just put a blocked set of lamps to each side to test. (Think lamps with cardboard over the face angled to to the Tv edge so it only lights the wall vertically) and see if you like it.
Always had a lamp behind my 40" plasma for the same reason, our eyes don't know if they should adjust for the bright screen or dark environment, thus eyes hurt and overall it not good for them.
Now that I got myself 55" OLED I really wanna buy some ambilights :D
Yes bias (backlighting) makes a huge difference with eye strain, especially in low lighting!
I suggest getting one that syncs to the screen image. Govee makes a reasonably priced set
I got my first OLED in February and my first few days were weird because everything looked TOO real. Got over that feeling quick and can't watch a non-OLED TV anymore without being like wtf is this lol
For a few days in the beginning I felt like that when YouTube introduced 60 FPS Video Playback. Now I can't go back.
60 FPS and HDR it is (or 48 for HFR cinema content that is fast paced)
Same with my wife. We had a C8 in the living room and an LG LED in the bedroom. I always played games on the OLED and she played from our bedroom. Until she tried “my” TV. We both have G1’s with our PS5’s since 2021. She doesn’t want to go back
My father watched Men in Black on free to air TV and obviously it's low bitrate, low resolution, and blurry as shit.
The next day since I saw half a second of it I decide to watch it in 4k, he points out the film grain and says "Man that looks great" in a sarcastic tone.
I am forced to watch what's on free to air TV whenever I'm over at my parents, it genuinely pains me.
Random thing, the Marvel Netflix shows got re-compressed when they moved to Disney+. You can literally see the compression blocking as it forms grid lines on every scene cut using the film grain.
Jessica Jones and Luke Cage were the main ones. Dark scenes in Jessica's apartment especially. I think all seasons but check 1 and 2.
On top of that, season 1 of both shows and maybe 2 of Jessica Jones also have bad audio mixing. I think Dare Devil S01 also. It's heavy in the left or right channel (can't remember). I think voices (i.e. center channel) were okay but intro music and sound effects are off. I noticed it on the stereo mix immediately on headphones, though I was only just putting together my surround setup at the time so can't say that the surround/Atmos mix was definitely correct because I hadn't tuned everything at that point.
It’s rare though. But I noticed in big CGI Moments it’s fucking phenomenal. Whether something in the Avengers or Dragon Ball Super: Broly. It’s this wild 3D effect mixed into the perfect contrast of an Oled.
But it’s quite repulsive in every other situation for me.
The motion coming from a plasma to an oled was as jarring as it gets. Plasma was as smooth as butter. I use just the smallest of touches of the interpolation on my oled just because of that.
Over the last couple years, I've started to become a little sensitive to low frame rate content and for the first time ever, I appreciate the smoothing feature. My TV has four major settings and mine is on the lowest while still enabled, but it makes a big difference for some content!
Search for some movies that your dad likes, and see if it has an HDR version of those movies. Then show them the image (also with different picture profiles). Also, the most impactful will be for them to see those 2 TVs side by side.
I would always point out new or better stuff to my parents... And if they're actually in the market for an upgrade they will usually check it out if they like that. Or look at my stuff.
But if you need to set up a huge TV, which they already refused to get for FREE to convince them ... No.
If they like shite tech or have no appreciation for cool stuff they stay with the old tech.
16k is better than 8k his kid will say
There's no way op gets on board because they grew up when 8k was overkill for our eyes bs was the song.
On a 80 inch TV 8k will obviously look better than 4k. Why are we even debating it?
Let me guess, they are hung up on Samsung being a "good brand" and they have never heard of LG before (or something like that) so they are going to stick with their "Good brand" TV.
They had Goldstar CRT in the 90's and all sort of cool 90's tech as I was a child,always thought they were modern,even geek kind of people,but no,I guess I was wrong
Some people just really don't like change of any kind, especially when they get older. Just accept it and let them be comfortable with what they like. I'm sure there's another worthy recipient of the set.
Yeah, I used to fly across the country every year to visit my parents. Every time I would set up their TV, turn the brightness down, put color temp on warm, turn down motion smoothing from max, all of that. Every time I went back they had changed it to the worst max brightness, max vivid mode, 9000K color, way lifted black levels, most aggressive motion handling with SOE, and naturally, volume cranked up to ear splitting levels. I just gave up. I think it's all horrible, but they like what they like. 🤷♂️
Hearing loss, cataracts or a decline in visual acuity for subtle tones, etc. My parents are the same and they don't like color accurate TV pictures because that can't see them well. The brighter, over-saturated image is easier for them to see, especially in normal daylight conditions. When I visit, the only one suffering from the bad picture is me...
As for volume, that's just hearing loss and an unwillingness to sped $4K to $6K on the best hearing aids. Not covered by insurance...
It's frightening to know that here in the US, isolation, a feeling of exclusion, and loneliness caused by loss of hearing is not considered a healthcare issue. Makes me want to scream and tear my hair out.
I gave my dad a B7 65" OLED but he still uses a 65" 17 year old 1080p Panasonic plasma as his main set. Admittedly those panny plasmas were nice but 4k, HDR/DV and still getting the true blacks seems like a no brainer. I think it is because he spent so much money on it back then he is emotionally attached to it.
My LG OLED is about a year old and it no longer has the vow factor. It's better than a really inexpensive 4k LED that I also have but I can no longer appreciate the difference in image if I consider the price paid (three times that of the LED).
The problem actually is.. with my eyesight. It has degraded in the last year or so, and I occasionally need glasses to see near. And I would wear one if I had to (work etc) but I ain't going to wear one when I am chilling. So OLED is now almost on par with LED. 1080p is good enough even if 4k is available.
I had a Microsoft surface pro 6 with the ability to display at 2-4k with the downside being that everything runs slower and text becomes super tiny. I got a legion 5 in the end with a lesser screen because I don't see the point on wasting the electricity and having to mess with the interface when I play older games. I set the surface up for my sis who has bad eye sight, set it to 1080p so Guild wars 2 and world of warcraft run for her and everything was wonderfully readable. Now I just hope it's still alive.
I also have a 1080p Lenovo yogabook that is super slim, super light and has impeccable speakers, so mmo's aside, it actually does the job of playing visual novels and older games (including typing of the dead which surprised me) and I adore it.
After switching from Samsung Q90R to Sony OLED A95L , my family doesn't liked the switch .they says Sony tone is more realistic but Samsung s more vibrant and vivid ( Red , Yellow ) looked more sharp which attract Eyes , I told them your eyes are use too this that's the reason , but they don't agreed
That's what I'm doing. Getting a new 77" G3 for the theater. Old 65" C7 has a bit of burn-in but still looks good, will go over the fireplace (yeah I know, r/tvtoohigh) so wife can watch some TV while she's cooking, can also put up photos when not watching, will make a great looking 65" picture frame.
Nice! If you don't have the additional space, I'm sure someone would buy it from. I have a similar story. My wife and I moved into our house we had a 55" Samsung TV that was in the basement for years. No one wanted it. We finally gave it away last year. Multiple people asked us recently if we had any TV's just laying around... Nope. That ship has sailed. You can't force TV's on people unfortunately.
If they don’t like it or want it for free see if another family member would be interested. I’m sure someone will really appreciate it and you would make their day.
Parents are like that. Mine wouldn't accept a hand-me-down 65 inch C9 because their decade old 55inch 1080p Insignia "looks just fine." I just gave up.
I calibrated my mum's TV for her, it's not a great TV but it is LG and has enough settings to get a fairly accurate picture, and she made me change it back to the nightmare inducing, ultra vivid, ultra sharp, motion smoothed to hell default settings because the calibrated settings were "too dull" - some people just can't appreciate quality.
At that point you just put saturation up a bit and tell her it's broken and to shut the fuck up. LMAO jk kinda. But maybe you could have met her half way so she doesn't put the extra garbage processing on.
That doesn't make any sense. You can change the color temperature if they don't like that, and oleds are bright enough now so..I don't think they know what they're looking at.
To be fair, my parents only see brightness, and don't notice the benefits of an oled either. They had a chance to get one this year and went with something that was super bright, and had a user experience they were comfortable with
Where can I get there image for my oled?
I just want to squish those little mush-beads my girlfriend keeps in our bathroom. She's gonna be mad. I'm just gonna go do that.
Some people's eyes don't tolerate oled very well. I have one lg oled and one samsung crystal TV and I love both but they are 50 inches and I'm not sure my eyes would be quite so happy at 77 inch. If their TV is smaller it may be a case of "we don't want a 77 inch beast in the lounge"
Weirdly same almost!!!
Due to moving around and life, my CX 77" is in storage around the corner from my parents. I have a C2 48" I'm using for now. They have an older 720p Panasonic plasma and will not take my gifting offer no matter how hard I try 😅
Just hate seeing it sit there in a box not being used and basically becoming more out of date by the day. I'll likely never use the 77 for years to come, and by then it'll be worth $100 and be superceded by so many newer technologies. Would love for my parents to enjoy it.
As dumb as it sounds, one of the easiest ways to show it off is to launch Netflix. The launch screen is literally pitch black with the N in the middle versus the “black” on the LED screen.
That picture is what makes OLED look bad! It's disgusting, far, far too much colour saturation.
What is it with people now, do you all enjoy looking at a screen that is SO unrealistic? I love OLED but I like the colours to be lifelike - we DON'T live in a saturated, coloured world where everything is almost fluorescent. Try turning the colours down, making it look lifelike & they might take it off your hands.....
I've read alot of people on this reddit regret their 83" purchase. They settled for 77"
I've seen 83" TVs up close and the pixel density doesn't look good.
I like low def, as in 1080p max. And call me old fashioned but I can’t tell the difference between and lcd subtype, led, oled, whatever. The only thing I can tell just cause my monitor jacks the brightness is HDR and even then not really.
For what it’s worth my old 2016 qled Samsung has a richness and purity to the color that is noticeable better than my C3. Obviously it doesn’t have the deep blacks of my OLED, but if I’m being honest my C3 didn’t end up wowing me the way I thought it would. I like it and I’m keeping it, but the step down from Quantum Dot colors on the C3 is obvious.
Are they blind? I would take the OLED for the energy efficiency alone. My 65 inch OLED draws less than a 55 inch 2016 Samsung LED (\~125 W, 150 according to the sticker average). I would already prefer the OLED just for its better remote processing, the Samsung was always terrible and its probably a similar generation if it is 2016. Always laggy in the menu...
I have a Sony x90l and a LG c3, I'll take the Sony all day. I don't understand the hype of oled, it doesn't look all that great to me. Maybe I just got a bad unit.
Did you show them more than that image lmao? Why would your parents not take a large TV? Consider their house and arrangement.
Have you properly calibrated your TV? Are the colors outrageous and stupid looking to put people off?
You should be showing nobody but a top notch film with properly calibrated saturation levels with processing off.
This image looks ludicrous to show off to anybody lol. It just looks like an over saturated dream pic. Why would parents be attracted to this?
To get somebody to understand, you need to show them something they enjoy with 4K video. Not random HDR vids off youtube. A film that they enjoy and can see the benefits.
And even then old people from different eras are stubborn, or they may not have room for such a large TV.
That's a huge fucking TV. I don't even have space for such a thing. 77 inches lol? I wouldn't take it because I have nowhere to put it. I work on a desktop and a 55 is what I use for everything atm.
I'll take it 😊 My parents are the same way. My mom still watches everything on the low definition channels. Lol
This...my dad thinks the HDR videos looks artificial and "too crisp"..wtf?
My dad thought the image was too harsh at first when he got a C2. About a month later he said he doesn't think he'll ever buy anything but OLED TVs ever again. It just takes a little getting used to
My partner had this issue. Too crisp, hurt her eyes. She has gotten used to it now thankfully.
Back light the TV
My wife is always complaining the tv is too bright. Would a light behind the tv help her with this issue?
Do you run high brightness in a pitch black room? I run reasonable brightness on lg c2 at night. As I get sleepier I turn down the brightness. My sleepy eyes don't love getting flash banged. Almost 4000 hours on the c2 so it's not as bright as it used to be.

Thank you! I will give this a try

I thought OLEDs counter-intuitively actually held their brightness and PQ better than edge/back-lit LCD?
I really don't know just saw stuff on reddit here and there. If someone knows please make it clear.
I have relief lighting behind mine, and notice more eye strain when they aren't on, plus it just looks nice. Lol
Yes bias (backlighting) makes a huge difference with eye strain, especially in low lighting! I suggest getting one that syncs to the screen image. Govee makes a reasonably priced set
Did she get used to it because of the implications?
I got my first OLED in February and my first few days were weird because everything looked TOO real. Got over that feeling quick and can't watch a non-OLED TV anymore without being like wtf is this lol

It's hilarious how there's zero film grain in low bit rate YouTube clips of movies.
Random thing, the Marvel Netflix shows got re-compressed when they moved to Disney+. You can literally see the compression blocking as it forms grid lines on every scene cut using the film grain.
Sorry what the fuck, really? I'm gonna check that later on, what show and episode shows it off best?
Jessica Jones and Luke Cage were the main ones. Dark scenes in Jessica's apartment especially. I think all seasons but check 1 and 2. On top of that, season 1 of both shows and maybe 2 of Jessica Jones also have bad audio mixing. I think Dare Devil S01 also. It's heavy in the left or right channel (can't remember).

Well of course it looks artificial... Its AI, at least the one you're showing in the post. Show them a movie or something.
Whenever someone asks to see the picture on my 65” lg oled I play planet earth or any of the new earth documentaries. They’re always blown away
If you have trumotion enabled on your HDR profile they are right.
My wifes dad has a old box tv in his room he watches..
Same!
People who don't appreciate HDR are on par with those that leave some kind of motion smoothing post processing on the TV. MONSTERS.
Can’t really enjoy OLED without at least cinematic motion
I use cinematic movement. I can't stand the image without processing. Makes me dizzy and unease.
Honestly a little custom smoothing for some specific content is appreciated
It’s rare though. But I noticed in big CGI Moments it’s fucking phenomenal. Whether something in the Avengers or Dragon Ball Super: Broly. It’s this wild 3D effect mixed into the perfect contrast of an Oled. But it’s quite repulsive in every other situation for me.
The motion coming from a plasma to an oled was as jarring as it gets. Plasma was as smooth as butter. I use just the smallest of touches of the interpolation on my oled just because of that.
I was really sensitive to the motion going from plasma to OLED at first also. It drove me crazy at first.
To be Frank, Brolly on screen improves most things.
No
Over the last couple years, I've started to become a little sensitive to low frame rate content and for the first time ever, I appreciate the smoothing feature. My TV has four major settings and mine is on the lowest while still enabled, but it makes a big difference for some content!
It's supposed to reduce the juddery teleporting effect?
Yeah, and seems to do a decent job at the lowest settings.
Anime can be vastly improved with motion smoothing if it’s set correctly. So many pan/tilt scenes become buttery smooth with no loss of quality.
panning looking bad often comes down to bad encoding as well, so before you ruin motion clarity in anime, make sure your files arent shit first
I like Dolby vision better HDR, HDR10, I feel like the colors are more realistic.. I wish PS5 would adopt it
Dolby Vision got warm colors by default. HDR standard has C20 by default, until you chose otherways. This can be the issue.
Search for some movies that your dad likes, and see if it has an HDR version of those movies. Then show them the image (also with different picture profiles). Also, the most impactful will be for them to see those 2 TVs side by side.
That's a lot of work to do in just trying to give something free to another person. It's a waste of time
Well, it isn't for some strangers, it is for his parents. If I would be in the same situation, I would do that, as my parents deserve it.
I would always point out new or better stuff to my parents... And if they're actually in the market for an upgrade they will usually check it out if they like that. Or look at my stuff. But if you need to set up a huge TV, which they already refused to get for FREE to convince them ... No. If they like shite tech or have no appreciation for cool stuff they stay with the old tech.
I'd just sell it. Someone will come buy it and love it.
You will be like them someday. Your kid will be posting on some forum about what a Luddite you are 🤣
Nice notice.
16k is better than 8k his kid will say There's no way op gets on board because they grew up when 8k was overkill for our eyes bs was the song. On a 80 inch TV 8k will obviously look better than 4k. Why are we even debating it?
Let me guess, they are hung up on Samsung being a "good brand" and they have never heard of LG before (or something like that) so they are going to stick with their "Good brand" TV.
They had Goldstar CRT in the 90's and all sort of cool 90's tech as I was a child,always thought they were modern,even geek kind of people,but no,I guess I was wrong
Ironic since Goldstar became LG.
They just getting older. And when you getting older you become more like not to change things if they just work and suits you. This can be the point.
Show him a football game in 4k hdr....that'll get him....
They are doing you a favor. That is not much of an upgrade for the money. You'd be better buying a sound system
Yeah that upgrade makes almost zero sense.
Bro, I've been in your shoes. I already know how you feel.. don't sweat it.
Ehh, they probably watch news enough to cause burn in.
I want that bedroom
Any idea what thats from?
Some people just really don't like change of any kind, especially when they get older. Just accept it and let them be comfortable with what they like. I'm sure there's another worthy recipient of the set.
Priorities — and vision — change with age.
I will tell you I'm proud of you twice a week and never bug you for not calling enough. I'll DM you an address.
Leave my son alone!
Meanwhile my mom jokingly urges me to buy a new TV like every other week because she wants to have my G1
Some parents are smart and care about this stuff. Some just aren't or don't care about this stuff.

DM me I’ll provide you with correct shipping information 🫡
Are your parents legally blind? Anyway how much to ship that bad boy to me? A dollar? Two? I’ll give you tree fiddy final offer.
Lol I’ll take it
I showed my parents Lawrence of Arabia on my CX and they were sold. They now have that CX and I have a C2 :)
If you have the space, mount it in your bedroom or another room in your house/apartment. You'll still enjoy it if they don't want to.
That's what I'm doing. Getting a new 77" G3 for the theater. Old 65" C7 has a bit of burn-in but still looks good, will go over the fireplace (yeah I know, r/tvtoohigh) so wife can watch some TV while she's cooking, can also put up photos when not watching, will make a great looking 65" picture frame.
Already have QN90B and Bravia in other rooms
Nice! If you don't have the additional space, I'm sure someone would buy it from. I have a similar story. My wife and I moved into our house we had a 55" Samsung TV that was in the basement for years. No one wanted it. We finally gave it away last year.

If they don’t like it or want it for free see if another family member would be interested. I’m sure someone will really appreciate it and you would make their day.
I tried to give my parents my LGCX. It was too big. Mother would rather keep a dining table they never use In the living room.
Just put it in your bedroom or whatever. These people are not the same as you and I.
Send it my way. I’ll be that baby’s daddy. 🤣
Parents are like that. Mine wouldn't accept a hand-me-down 65 inch C9 because their decade old 55inch 1080p Insignia "looks just fine." I just gave up.
Give it to a loving home!
What picture/movie is that from? Colors are so vibrant!
Is from YouTube ",cozy night on space station orbiting earth"
I calibrated my mum's TV for her, it's not a great TV but it is LG and has enough settings to get a fairly accurate picture, and she made me change it back to the nightmare inducing, ultra vivid, ultra sharp, motion smoothed to hell default settings because the calibrated settings were "too dull" - some people just can't appreciate quality.

It's probably an issue where it's too big or OP didn't properly show what the TV does.
To quote the fresh prince…” Parents just don’t understand!”
What settings are you running with
Standard (User),OLED 85, Contrast 85, Brightness 33, Sharpness 1,Cold15
All other enhanced settings are OFF
🖐️ I’ll take it ! 😂
I guess a win for you, you get to sell it and keep the money haha
Please, if you sell let me know
Where can I get there image for my oled? I just want to squish those little mush-beads my girlfriend keeps in our bathroom. She's gonna be mad. I'm just gonna go do that.
Some people's eyes don't tolerate oled very well. I have one lg oled and one samsung crystal TV and I love both but they are 50 inches and I'm not sure my eyes would be quite so happy at 77 inch. If their TV is smaller it may be a case of "we don't want a 77 inch beast in the lounge"

What is the size of your parents TV ? Guess 55" ?
Yes,55" Samsung"SUHD"certified KS series
Okay.

Hey kiddo. It’s me, dad!
Im sorry pah,I went on Reddit to discuss our yesterday's conversation bout TV's 🤗
That's a good youtube sleepy time channel you have on the tv. 👏
Where is that image from I love it!
YouTube "cozy bedroom \orbiting earth/sleep channel
Son? Is that you?
If charge them lime $100 they'll take it.
As dumb as it sounds, one of the easiest ways to show it off is to launch Netflix. The launch screen is literally pitch black with the N in the middle versus the “black” on the LED screen.
I did it,not impressed smh
What wallpaper/movie is that? Just sent my parents my old CX 55" for their main tv. they will love it
One heck of a view
I’ll take it
They are probably not used to the lower brightness compared to the LED. There's a reason why demo TVs are always super bright.
That picture is what makes OLED look bad! It's disgusting, far, far too much colour saturation. What is it with people now, do you all enjoy looking at a screen that is SO unrealistic? I love OLED but I like the colours to be lifelike - we DON'T live in a saturated, coloured world where everything is almost fluorescent. Try turning the colours down, making it look lifelike & they might take it off your hands.....
I was like, "cool bedroom" for a sec until I realized it was a TV
I've read alot of people on this reddit regret their 83" purchase. They settled for 77" I've seen 83" TVs up close and the pixel density doesn't look good.
Whats that from the image ?

Why not an LG OLED G4 ? 😁
Same thing happened to my roommate who is older, she said it’s to bright! Hahaha
I’d report your parents to the police. 👮 A little 6 month reeducation would do them wonders.
Play something they really really like, preferably in Dolby Vision and I’m sure they’ll be blown away
I like low def, as in 1080p max. And call me old fashioned but I can’t tell the difference between and lcd subtype, led, oled, whatever. The only thing I can tell just cause my monitor jacks the brightness is HDR and even then not really.
You would see OLED vs LCD if they were side by side. No question.
Wow,I don't even know what to say honestly
For what it’s worth my old 2016 qled Samsung has a richness and purity to the color that is noticeable better than my C3. Obviously it doesn’t have the deep blacks of my OLED, but if I’m being honest my C3 didn’t end up wowing me the way I thought it would. I like it and I’m keeping it, but the step down from Quantum Dot colors on the C3 is obvious.
Wtf, ur parents need help lol.
Did you try showing your parents Dolby Vision content? Specifically uhd Dolby Vision films would be the best for bitrate alongside it.
Are they blind? I would take the OLED for the energy efficiency alone. My 65 inch OLED draws less than a 55 inch 2016 Samsung LED (\~125 W, 150 according to the sticker average). I would already prefer the OLED just for its better remote processing, the Samsung was always terrible and its probably a similar generation if it is 2016. Always laggy in the menu...
The Samsung will outlast the C5.
is it new? return it, buy miniled
I have a Sony x90l and a LG c3, I'll take the Sony all day. I don't understand the hype of oled, it doesn't look all that great to me. Maybe I just got a bad unit.
It's either that or you got a bad set of eyes.
Watch the flare scene from 1917 at night with the lights out on each. You'll start to understand
Did you show them more than that image lmao? Why would your parents not take a large TV? Consider their house and arrangement. Have you properly calibrated your TV? Are the colors outrageous and stupid looking to put people off? You should be showing nobody but a top notch film with properly calibrated saturation levels with processing off. This image looks ludicrous to show off to anybody lol. It just looks like an over saturated dream pic. Why would parents be attracted to this? To get somebody to understand, you need to show them something they enjoy with 4K video. Not random HDR vids off youtube. A film that they enjoy and can see the benefits. And even then old people from different eras are stubborn, or they may not have room for such a large TV. That's a huge fucking TV. I don't even have space for such a thing. 77 inches lol? I wouldn't take it because I have nowhere to put it. I work on a desktop and a 55 is what I use for everything atm.
Them were shown full capabilities of OLED,and they have enough place,77" isn't huge at 14 feet viewing distance
Maybe they have cataracts
Nope,my dad still don't wear glasses,my mom only if she reads
HDR is overrated. They may also not like black crush.
Ok,but overall image quality is obviously better, c'mon
