LG confirm the 4K 120hz HDR limitation of the Alpha 7 Gen2 chipset, so if you have any LG LED TV with that then maximum output is for HDR 4K 60hz and for SDR 4K 120hz over HDMI 2.1
The A7G2 is used on the SM9000, SM9500, SM9800 and B9 OLED models, what 2.1 features that gets you are;
* HDMI VRR 40-120hz range.
* eARC with HD audio though LG do not yet support PCM 5.1/7.1 over eARC making it a sub optimal choice for game consoles as PCM is the lowest latency format to avoid audio lag, there is rumor talk LG will add PCM next year.
* Dynamic HDR which despite the name is not a new HDR format but a standard for HDR metadata transfer apparently.
* Automatic Low Latency mode which LG brands as automatic game response, this actually does not auto switch to game mode but applies a temporary game mode to the existing picture preset disabling some of its video processing features. Currently only Xbox One consoles and PC AMD/Nvidia GPU drivers support this.
* Quick media switching allows a seamless switch from 60Hz or 50hz to 24Hz without the usual blank screen interval (requires support from HDMI device).
* QFT (quick frame transport) designed to lower input lag display latency, may or may not need support from HDMI device it is unclear.
IPS based panels like LG's do not have best black levels but they are okay in a well lit room. |
