The following applies to the LG OLED C9, CX, and C1 HDTV's

Requirements

The following hardware and software is required to perform color calibration on the LG OLED TV's. This is my set up.

Software

Calibration Software

The Calman Home for LG software is a very accurate and cost-effective solution for home user calibration. It's practically turn key. [Calman Home for LG]

Calibration test patterns

If you're using the LG internal pattern generator, then you'll need these Calman stimulus patterns. Download and place these on a USB stick. Please each pattern in its own directory. If you're using an external pattern generator, then you won't need these.
If you're planning to calibration shadow detail (optional, tedious, but beneficial), then you'll need these other patterns too.

  • Calman stimulus patterns. If you're using the LG internal pattern generator, then you'll need these. Download and place these on a USB stick. Please each pattern in its own directory. If you're using an external pattern generator, then you won't need these.
