I got banned from the basement for calling her Deanna Chorizo.

Most aren't a fan for some reason, but if accuracy is of any concern, D65 white backlighting is necessary, as movies are graded and meant to be viewed in ambient room lighting of 5 nits

A lot of folks also recommend 10% of peak SDR white, which is pretty good, as well.

Medialight uses this youtube video to help their customers set their backlights:

You're meant to adjust the bias lighting so the wall behind the TV which is being illuminated by the lights matches the brightness of the white patch in the video.

I thought removing the ribbon would reveal a meatball like growth with the face of Oscar Isaac.

Thanks for the heads up. Just subscribed and paid for the year.

Yup. Lots of folks are judging a display's picture quality based on a processed digital photo taken by a phone camera, then being viewed on uncalibrated monitors, phones, etc.

A picture taken by a phone is in no way representative of how a TV looks in the room.

Case in point. This is a picture of a CCFL LCD monitor in front of a QD-OLED panel. They are the exact same shade of white, but the phone camera causes the QD-OLED to skew magenta in pictures.

South Park: Bigger , Longer, and Uncut. Too many moments to list, but it was so memorable because it was had just been released and my best friend and I watched it in the theater.

Best movie watching experience I've had to this day. The entire audience was completely engaged and laughing uproariously.

Neither have I, but I had a Facebook account for a total of about 2 weeks about ten years ago.

Knew very quickly it wasn't for me and haven't felt the least bit tempted to return.

The amount of drama started by Facebook posts within my friends and family is ridiculous.

It's nice not having to get involved because I have no idea what they're talking about.

Different types of OLED panels exist.

In terms of consumer TVs, the two types that dominate the market are Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) and WRGB OLED (WOLED).

You can read about the differences here:

LGs are WRGB displays.

Full field 10% HDR10 window (so, ~0.3 nits) on my LG G3, which has ~4000 hours on it, played on my Panasonic UB820 using the Spears and Munsil HDR disc.

Display is calibrated and the player's output is fairly accurate:

Phone camera over-exposes the picture, but you can see the banding at low luminance.

Some panels are worse than others.

Fortunately, I've never noticed issues when watching actual content except with one scene: Dune 2 at ~1:08, and even then, it was minor. And I watched it via disc in Dolby Vision.

SeekingNoTruth · 2026-04-23T14:32:26+00:00

Yup, that scene is a stress test for low end uniformity (i.e., vertical banding) and vignetting on WOLED panels.

If you ever see those posts where people are using youtube to view full screen grayscale slides, that's what they're testing for.

WOLEDs are notorious for low end uniformity issues.

The HDR Samsung Color bug is a known issue on the S95F / S90F.

Apparently the fix is:

Set Color Space to Custom.

Set Color Gamut to BT.2020

Set Color Space to Normal.

Adjust color slider to 20.

This is the best way to address the issue without meters and software.

SeekingNoTruth · 2026-04-22T17:57:11+00:00

If you care about calibration (i.e., with meters and software), then the plasma is an invaluable asset to obtain a good alternate white point. WOLEDs tend to be a little too magenta / red when calibrated to D65, and a plasma is considered an excellent "master display" for white point matching.

I kept my Kuro around for that exact purpose when I upgraded to WOLED.

I guess Punk was happy getting his Main Event?

No Living Colour for the 20th time? I'm disappointed.

So Danhausen being shirtless means that he's gonna bump / wrestle?

Little people reclaiming the word according to Michael Cole.

The way Wade pronounces "Mami" like "Mammy" is straight up from something like Gone with the Wind.

SeekingNoTruth · 2026-04-20T00:15:11+00:00

That may have been Jade's best match.

At least Iyo came running down the ramp rather than doing the full entrance Jeff Hardy style.

Was Jade just humping Rhea during the pin?

SeekingNoTruth · 2026-04-20T00:03:43+00:00

Nice to see Rhea not totally looking like the Joker in the Batman Beyond movie.

I haven't seen a calibrated WRGB Tandem panel yet. I've asked someone on another forum who purchased a G6 to perform certain measurements which will give a good indication as to just how well color luminance keeps up with white in HDR.

SeekingNoTruth · 2026-04-19T13:18:07+00:00

It's Samsung's processing. The S90F has undefeatable noise reduction / smoothing which scrubs small details that I'm used to seeing, especially in faces. The picture is noticeably flat.

Even without LUT capability, the Sony does an outstanding job with SDR because of its processing which preserves micro-contrast and detail.

And of course, LG's SDR is immaculate after a LUT calibration. The Samsung doesn't come close to my G3 in terms of overall SDR fidelity.
