- Refresh rate: 50 or 60 Hz?
- HDMI colourspace: auto, rgb, 420, 422 or 444?
- HDMI colourimetry: auto, BT 2020 NCL, BT 2020 CL or BT 709?
My tv: LG OLED C9 4K TV
Thanks in advance!

Well that depends what you use your box for.
Are you using satellite which has 4k channels.
Are you using iptv which has 4k channels. Very few do.
Unless you have access to lots of 4k channels, personally I would recommend setting your box to 1080p as most skins are only HD and not 4k.
Some skins can get confused when switching between HD and 4K.
Refresh rate: auto or 60hz for modern tvs
Colourspace: Auto
HDMI colourimetry: Auto -
Mode: 2160p
Refresh rate: Depends what country you are in, for Europe 50hz is usually correct, but you could use Multi and it should switch then depending on the content you are viewing.
HDMI colourspace: 444 is best, but your tv will probably default to 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 (you can check this by pressing the green button 8 times quickly on your LG TV remote)
HDMI colourimetry: Auto -

You don't want 60hz set for uk / europe channels as they are broadcast in 25/50hz and it causes frame skips / judders.
60HZ used mainly for US stuff, but there are exceptions, so Auto would be the best setting if you view both often. -
Obviously never used openatv metrix skin then, that breaks if you even look at it wrong
They may have fixed it in later versions, but its an sd skin, on a hd box, showing a fhd video.

There is an option to update Metrix to 1920 but i've not used that skin other than limited testing.
