The LG internal pattern generator enables integrated calibration of supported LG OLED and LCD TVs (and select projectors) across SDR, HDR, and Dolby Vision modes. When used with Calman, it provides accurate test patterns directly from the display, simplifying setup and ensuring consistent, reliable calibration results.
Note:
HDR and Dolby Vision calibration with the LG internal pattern generator is supported on all LG TVs 2019 and newer. However, Pre- and Post-Calibration measurements for HDR and Dolby Vision still require an external pattern generator, except for HDR measurements on TVs using the A9 or A11 processors. Dolby Vision pre- and post-calibration measurements cannot be performed with the internal generator.
Refer to the table below to confirm your model’s supported capabilities.

Note:
To use the internal pattern generator, the display must already be in the correct picture mode (SDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision). You can switch the display into the required mode by playing content in that format on the active input—for example, an HDR10 or Dolby Vision Blu-ray disc, or the gray screen media files provided below.
Right-click and choose “Save As” to download the grey screen media files from the links below…
Chrome Users: If you experience download errors, at the top right, click Downloads and choose to Keep the downloaded file.
You can load this content onto a USB drive and play it directly on the TV using its built-in media player.
Connect to Your LG TV
- Make sure the Calman PC is connected to the same network as the LG TV.
- On the LG TV, go to Menu → Network and note the TV’s IP address.
- In Calman, open the Source Settings tab and select Find Source.
- In the Find Source dialog, choose LG and select the correct model year and processor.
- Enter the TV’s IP address in the connection dialog and click Connect.
- If prompted, enter the 8-digit passcode shown on the TV.
- (This step is skipped if you have previously connected to the TV as a Display.)
