I'm glad you're getting closer to how you like it. Those are some very showroom style settings, but each to their own.

I'm sure you know you'll need to change the settings for each input and when you HDR content. Also the TV will get much brighter when you feed it HDR content.

Also worth noting that those settings will mean you have a higher chance of suffering from burn-in at an early stage

I'll give them a shot and see what it looks like. I can always revert back to my other settings. Thanks for your help though

Head over to AVForums as there are usually really useful threads on there regarding picture settings.

Be mindful that all panels and environments are different, so what may work out best for someone might not be the same for you.

I found the picture settings on Rtings suited me, with a few minor tweaks.
What particular issue are you finding? Is it not bright enough?

The best settings are what looks good to your eyes, I tend to increase the contrast, colour and OLED backlight higher than professional settings.

If youre used to a poorly setup TV before then vivid might look close to what youre used to but the whole point of watching 4K films on an expensive OLED is lost in Vivid etc. Start with Cinema but maybe reduce colour temp from Warm 2 to Warm 1.
For gaming you cant really go wrong as colours are not meant to be accurate - but again reducing the colour temp to Medium can help.
Dont touch brightness as this just washes things out.
The OLED light setting helps in a bright room but in HDR will be set higher anyway.

A couple of things you can do is:
- Make sure eco settings are off
- make sure peak brightness is set to high
- enable dynamic tone mapping

Otherwise OLED might not be for you. If possible swap out for a high end LED TV from Samsung or Sony

For some reason it's not letting me go into advanced controls to change the settings you recommended changing

I tried during the Netflix app and then I also tried during my Amazon cube on hdmi 2 and still not able to go into advanced controls in picture settings

From the main presets, don't choose Vivid. Start with a different one like Standard or Cinema

Out of interest what are your settings please?

Pretty much the polar opposite. From what I can remember:
Oled light = 60 SDR. 100 HDR
Contrast = 85-100, depending on the movie
Brightness = 50
Sharpness = 5
Colour Temp = Warm 1 (I used to like Cool, but trained to get to Warm 1)

Dynamic Contrast = Off most of the time. Sometimes I change it to medium
Tone mapping = On
Smart resolution = medium
Peak brightness = high
