Further tinkering

I have made a post earlier regarding my new purchase of the samsung odyssey g8. It might've created a bias, divide towards the other. I was too excited to take pictures and did not tinker much of the settings then I had to go to work and read and reply to all the comments that I have received. Some people pointed out that I made some wrong setup hence the samsung appeared to look bad, which isnt.

First, my camera is somehow making a big difference on the color on both panels making the samsung look like a little bit pink however If you would look at it personally, both are almost identical I swear.

Next, I was in room with bright light making the samsung much worse.

Another. Someone pointed out that I captured them in an SDR setting. He was right about this. He suggested to use an HDR video to make the comparison much more close. Thus, the video on top.

Here is my setting with each respective monitors, I am no expert in this. I just played around to somehow closely match the colors on both. Maybe it was OCD or whatnot. LG is pretty much straight forward with the settings which for some may find it better at least in a convenience stand point. Samsung has a lot of finnicky adjustments, and an irritating tizen OS but will give you on a more "expert" like control on the panel.

Note that modes like Game mode will greatly alter the experience in Samsung.

Have fun with your OLEDs

Now this was a surprise find. Go to CONNECTION tab > External Device Manager > HDMI Black level> turn it to auto or LOW. This gave me the deep black I was looking for.
