Hello,
I am using kodi on an ubuntu Server (headless) together with my new LG B7 OLED.
99% of usage I will be only FullHD content without HDR.
4K and HDR is a differnt story (currently VDPAU doesnt support my HEVC10bit files and files are stuttering with CPU usage at 100%).
No I am a Little bit confused how to set up Color Settings correctly.
Hoping that someone can tell me also using a LG OLED (2015 - 2018 model).
Here are my Settings:
TV-Settings:
- I have set HDMI-Input coming from PC (nvidia-card) on TV to "PC", however this Setting will disble some featrues like "real Cinema" and "noise reduction". As I have read only this Setting ("pc-mode") will enable Full RGB (RGB 4:4:4)?
- Blacklevel: "Low" (I think this has something to do with Color range like 16-235 and 0-255?)
- Color Camut: "Auto". Other Settings are "wide" and "Extended"
- HDMI-Deep-Color: "Enabled". (I think this will not take any difference as far only 1080p Content running or?)
Graphics-Settings (xorg.conf):
- There I have defined "RGB" "Full" with the following entries:
Option "ColorRange" "Full"
Option "ColorSpace" "RGB"
- Kodi-Settings:
- I have set to "limited Color range" (16-235)
Are These Settings correct and can someone tell me why? In General These Settings look best to me but I am not sure if there Maybe get something lost in the Deep Grey (which is then just black)
The second Question for me is if I am running only fullHD Content, should I do the upscaling on the pc (currently yes because Resolution is set to 3840x2160) or should I set Resolution to 1080p and let the TV do the upscaling?
regards
