Have you read eddys faq yet? I wouldn't touch brightness or contrast on hdr content, otherwise it won't be tracking the etof, hdr isn't about the overall image being brighter, in some instances its actually darker, the specular highlights/sunsets/reflections are what make the difference.Fire TV 4K stick.

Motion is fine to me, never seen any stutters and better than my panny oled and the 3 other lg oleds I've owned before it. Not sure about custom picture preset as I only use pro 1 and 2, you havnt got clear motion on have you?Motion looks quite bad to my eyes. It's worse than my LG C8 OLED.
Blur reduction - 10
Film Smooth - 0
This helps a bit but could be better. Btw, I am okay with 24fpa telecinic judder as I am used to it but on this I am seeing stutter.
Also any idea why Custom picture mode even at 50 is super bright whilst True Cinema, Cinema, Professional etc. are noticeably dimmer at the same values as Custom?
To be fair i have blur reduction on 10 as its the only way to get motion resolution to 1080. Im a stickler for having it off too but i don't see any detriment on the dx902.Same here, I have all processing off always, not even on low or custom...

Fald costs too much to make unfortunatelyGood point on clear motion. Let me check once I am back home. Maybe that's why it was quite dark as that's what happens when we turn on Black Frame Insertion on the OLEDs.
50 on this looks like 75-80 on OLED.
So far I haven't noticed any blooming and light spillage on the black bars which is a huge relief.
It seems like LED-LCD tech has gone backwards since 2017 as there is barely any TV that exceeds Sony ZD9 or this one.

You need contrast at 90 for starters, brightness at 50-60 is correct for daytime viewingTrue Cinema / Cinema / THX / Professional 1 / Professional 2 - reset to default, set backlight and contrast at 50, and is still 20-25% dimmer than Custom, normal and dynamic at the same setting.
The difference in brightness is quite dramatic as if the someone put some light filter on the path.
Clear motion set to off.
What am I missing?

I won't be home until later but I'll have a lookAt first I expect the brightness to be similar in all modes at the same picture preset.
25% difference between custom and professional mode is massive. It's night and day. How does it look in yours mate?

I've noticed this too.
Probably a big no no amongst the purists but I use custom for content which I artificially apply HDR to using the 4k firestick.
I'm not really sure of the cause of Normal and Dynamic have a brighter image, but True Cinema gives the correct luminance for HDR across the range.
I suspect the Normal/Dynamic boost the brightness to give that big impact that grabs attention, but won't be correct to the director's intent.
Fire TV adaptive display mode is a mess and only other option is forced HDR which is okay for HDR but can be a hit or miss on SDR
I've had issues with the adaptive mode on the firestick so started using a Roku SS+ more.
I mostly use the forced HDR on animated stuff, older shows like Star Trek which use a lot of soft lighting, and CGI heavy movies like Avengers.
Also really helped with Vikings on Amazon which is just a dull grey mess otherwise.
Looks like I made a mistake by buying the Fire TV stick. I would like it to send the signal as is.
Adaptive completely messes up pretty much everything in YouTube (blown out highlights, over saturated colours) whilst I don't like forced HDR on SDR as it definitely looks fake to my eyes.
I've only had issues with iPlayer and HLG in adaptive mode. Don't watch much YouTube, but I had a different version working perfectly previously.
When Amazon had their spat with Google and there was no YouTube app I was using smart YouTube app (think that's what it's called). You can find instructions for installing it online. That worked flawlessly in adaptive mode. It might have also made YouTube add free. Worth a look
