Hi. Does the S90C support NVIDIA G-sync? I understand it is not NVIDIA certified, but what does that actually mean? I’m upgrading from a LG B1 which officially support G-sync, will I notice more tearing?

I purchased the C1 and it is very dark, darker than the B1 I previously purchased. Its an ok tv, but the brightness is very disappointing, especially coming from a C9. I can no longer make out details in dark scenes.

Keep in mind is seems unlikely the B series is going to get Dolby Vision 4k 120Hz so should that ever be a thing on the PC your going to be left out. Also the B1 has only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and the extra brightness makes the difference if your going to be using black frame insertion, there is so little between the price of the B1 and C1 just get the C1 unless your at the extreme edge of your budget or getting the B1 for extra low cost.

Currently PC don’t get dolby vision in games or at all, so it will only affect XBOX and XBOX can’t even truly reach 4K 60HZ let alone 120HZ

The support checked and the Nano90 does support VRR, I have two options to choose from: I can add 500$ more and get the nano90 or slightly less and get the Samsung Q70T. I didn’t plan on spending the extra money but I rather spend more than keep the SM9000 which is just mediocre (as I wrote before), I saw a couple of reviews that claim that the nano90 is a big improvement. VRR was important since we play XBOX and plan on getting the new XBOX on Christmas. What would you choose?

After a few angry discussions with costumer support I was offered to pay an additional amount and get a 2020 Nano90 replacement. Does the VRR work on the 75" nano90? The SM9000 is a very mediocre TV (horrible blacks, poor brightness, blooming), will the nano90 improve these problems? How much money is justified to pay for this replacement?

LG response: “In response to your message, please be advised that according to the product page of the 75SM9070PUA manufactured to be used here in the US (https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-75SM9070PUA-4k-uhd-tv), the unit supports 2K/4K HFR, ALLM, and eARC and is yet to support VRR.”

We can’t confirm this, you would have to contact LG directly.

I will. You have to add a warning on the review

isn’t it always the other way around? the smaller and cheaper sizes should have less features enables

That appears to be the case. As you pointed out, LG’s website states in the fine print that “VRR support varies by inches.”, which is strangely written, but would imply that some sizes don’t support VRR. We had seen previous reports that the larger sizes weren’t G-SYNC compatible, but we had assumed they still worked with HDMI Forum VRR.

Can they really do that? write a strange comment (on some of the websites) and that make it ok to write VRR support when only half of the size support that?

Can we confirm with LG which sizes support VRR and which don’t?

Weirdly enough on some of LG’s website there is a comment that “VRR support varies by inches” but on other it does not show, see two opposite examples: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-75SM9070PUA-4k-uhd-tv https://www.lg.com/ca_en/tvs/lg-75SM9070PUA

Could someone help be by finding out what that means?

Just to confirm, you have “Instant Game Response” enabled on the TV, and HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color enabled for that port?

Yes on both. The input is also set as “console”

Could it be that the 75" (75SM9000PVA) does not support VRR while the other sizes do?
