"A recent update makes changes to how Dolby Vision content appears on the C5 and G5 TVs. Specifically, it makes images significantly brighter and lessens shadows. Dolby Vision being too dark has been a common complaint from LG users, especially those watching in bright rooms where sunlight or other bright lights are shining on the screen. In before-and-after images, the difference is striking."
"One Reddit user shared an image of the latest version's changelog, which notes that "this update is a specific picture quality fix addressing user complaints regarding Dolby Vision brightness," adding that the fix resolves an issue where Dolby Vision content (usually in Cinema Home mode) appears significantly darker than standard HDR10 content. LG added that the update also impacts Cinema Home, Vivid, Game, and Standard modes, but doesn't affect Filmmaker Mode, which it leaves alone to preserve creator intent."
"That last part is important. While Dolby Vision strives to keep the "creative vision of content producers," it can sometimes clash with living room viewing situations. Giving people access to a better picture for their situation while leaving Filmmaker Mode untouched gives you the option to pick which one you prefer. Given that the C5 has a fairly impressive brightness compared to its counterparts, it makes sense that the upgrade would be most noticeable on that set."
A software update brightens Dolby Vision content and reduces shadows on LG C5 and G5 OLED TVs. The change addresses complaints that Dolby Vision often appears significantly darker than HDR10, particularly in bright rooms. The update alters picture behavior in Cinema Home, Vivid, Game, and Standard modes while leaving Filmmaker Mode unchanged to preserve creator intent. The brightness increase is especially noticeable on the C5 due to its higher native luminance. Users can verify the update installation by checking their TV software version.
