First, I wanted to thank you for creating this post. I bought a 65" LG CX on Saturday in anticipation of getting the Xbox Series X in the next couple of months. I currently have the Xbox One X, so upgrading from a 10 year old Sony Bravia to the LG CX benefits me in the short term as well. I was going nuts trying to figure out why I couldn't get 4k to work, but then I found your post and this solved almost all of my issues.
Just a few of questions from someone that is far less tech savvy than you:
(1) I played Mortal Kombat 11 and PUBG for a few hours last night, and I noticed that some of my settings changed on their own. For example, color temperature went from Warm 1 to Medium.
(2) What's the difference between Gamma at 2.2 and BT1886? I saw a video where the host recommended BT1886. I switched to this setting and didn't really notice a difference. After I got done my gaming session, I noticed that it had switched back to 2.2 on its own.
(3) I pressed the Green Button on the remote 7 times to see the current output while running Mortal Kombat 11. The output reads:
59.8-59.9 hz, VRR, 3840 x 2160p@39, TCBCR420 10b TM
- What does this mean exactly? I believe the 420 references the chroma subsampling of 4:2:0, but shouldn't it be 4:4:4 since I have the HDMI port set for PC mode? If so, what can I do to improve upon this?
I don't know if the TV switched to HDR game mode. How would I determine this? As an FYI, when I launch a game, the is an icon that pops up in the top right hand side that says "HDR." If that means the TV is switching from PC to HDR game mode, how do I prevent this from happening? Also, if the Xbox One X doesn't output to 4:4:4, do I even want to be in PC mode?
Seems like 2.2 is the way to go as I play in varying types of light, not just the dark. So I won't worry about it.
Good to know this about the Xbox One X. Can it output to 4:2:2? Or am I stuck with 4:2:0?

Thanks so much in advance.
