Lg oled burnin12/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Read how our streaming editor was worried about burn-in on his LG C2 OLED - and why he would advise you to not do what he did.Looking to buy an OLED TV for the first time? Check out our guide to the best OLED TVs.I really like both, I can say that my LG TV after years of usage is as new, 0 burn-in despite being used with static HUD in games etc. Been saving for some time for a PC screen upgrade (much needed) and, once you use OLED, its hard to look at LCD again lol. If you’re careful with them, OLED TVs shouldn’t suffer any sort of burn-in or image retention - or, if they do, you should now have a few ways to get rid of it. I have both a PC QD-OLED display and an LG TV. Unfortunately, given the lower cost of OLED TVs these days, the latter might be the cheaper option. Start that up, and you should see a major reduction in the size of the burn-in spot.Īfter that, if there’s no reduction, you’ll probably need to call a professional or outright replace the TV. Again, go back into the settings and find the feature (it’s called Pixel Refresher on LG OLED TVs and Panel Refresh on Sony OLED TVs). This is also the time you’re going to want to try the pixel refresher feature that comes built into OLEDs. The recap: Most people shouldn't worry about OLED burn-in. In the future, if you leave the TV on one screen for an extended period of time, the TV will periodically shift the image so that the pixels don’t retain the image. Here's a section of a 2018 LG C8 OLED TV screen displaying a gray test pattern after 5 hours watching CNN on the brightest (Vivid) mode. UPDATE REGARDING A NEW TEST: This test ended on November 2019, but weve just shared the details of a new Longevity Test were working on For more informati. Whether you have an LG, Sony or Samsung OLED, look in the menus for a pixel shift setting - make sure that’s turned on. So what happens if you’ve accidentally left on the TV for a while with a logo in the corner and now it won’t come off? Here’s what you need to do. Hopefully, MicroLEDs will be a thing by then and you'll have the best of both worlds.(Image credit: Tom's Guide) What should you do if your TV has image retention? But based on my B6P usage, with moderate care you should be able to get a good 5+ years out of an OLED panel if cared for. I will say OLEDs are awesome at both displaying images and for being insanely fast for gaming purposes, but they "do" require a bit more care then most PC users are used to. I can't personally speak to those, though I have seen people over at avsforum claim to have used B7P's as PC displays since launch with no sign of burn-in.Īlso note despite playing a ton of strategy games, I've never had a problem with any overlays burning in, especially since I turned down the OLED light.]Ģ: All black screensaver with just a few minutes turn-on will help extend lifetime a bit same with a short (15-30 minutes) turn off time. [Note: The B6P was before LG put in a lot of extra anti-burn-in tech into their panels. Higher temperatures increases OLED degradation, and reduces life span. I've been running on 30 for four years since then, with only very minor panel damage despite using the set for several hours a day every day for four years (and most of the damage since then can be attributed to almost two years of WFH, which is OLED's "worst case" usage). I believe heat is a factor in OLED TV burn-in (burn out). I ran mine at 100 for a year, and that resulted in my windows taskbar (which I hadn't set to auto-minimize) to permanently burn in. Long time LG OLED user here (B6P) here are the lessons I learned the hard way:ġ: For the love of god, TURN DOWN THE OLED BACKLIGHT! This is without exception the easiest thing you can do to extend the life of the panel. ![]()
