I own a 3 year old Vizio and when I game in Dolby it really pops, it’s bright and looks absolutely amazing. This tv in Dolby on the same games is DARK and has a brown tint to the picture, nothing pops! What’s going on with Dolby iq?

    The comparison summary states that GameOptimizer mode on the C3 lowers the brightness too aggressively. LG has updated C3’s firmware multiple times and addressed other ABL related issues. Can we confirm if this still exists? Also, is there a possibility to see this issue side by side (B4 vs C3)?

    This, exactly. I’d be very interested in this comparison, or at least a confirmation that the ABL issues in the C3 have been addressed via firmware.

    Hi, we updated the firmware for the C3 to 13.40.75 including WebOS 2024 and found no noticeable improvements in Game Optimizer (or out of Game Optimizer) in HDR Real Scene Brightness when compared to the original measurements in the review. Regarding your ABL concern, we don’t expect the behavior to change either, given that the C3 already performs close to related “4” series SKUs (C4, B4): it’s very similar in full frame performance to the B4, just able to get a bit brighter in smaller slides, which is what we expect.
