It could be the HUD from a game, or the logo or ticker of a particular channel. If anyone needs proof of CRT, plasma or OLED burn in all they need to do is put an all white image on the screen of a TV that has been heavily used to display content with some sort of static image. The best static elements to avoid burn-in are semi-transparent white/black. If you watch hours of content with colored static UIs on the screen every day, stick to LCD. To me OLED burn-in is a fully understood risk, it's been deeply tested, and there aren't any major unknowns. News tickers, especially CNN, are well known to be a guaranteed source of burn-in after enough hours. I don't think anyone(paying attention) ever believed that burn-in wasn't "real", only that it doesn't happen if you take care with what you watch, which is true. It is well known what colors burn-in fastest on LG TVs: Red, followed by Green. This is one major reason LG is the only manufacturer of TV panel sized OLEDs(the other being yields). The LEDs do produce a given spectrum and the filters eat a certain amount of the light so aging is indeed still uneven, but MUCH less so than RGB LEDs. LG TVs use an array of white LEDs behind color filters. And just leave the words "adjust/adjustment" out of it a slider or button choice makes that obvious! Titling options is not rocket science, yeesh.There's no blue OLEDs in an LG TV and they're not comparable to phones, which do use RGB OLED. They should call it luminence or brightness, and stick to that ONE across all products. It's ridiculous for users to have to deal with this confusing inconsistency. Since you want the TV to adjust (change) the luminance as much as possible, you set this to a HIGH adjustment level. To avoid burn-in with "B", you are actually choosing the LEVEL of ADJUSTMENT to APPLY to the TV's default luminance (aka brightness). Since you want the brightness (aka luminance) of the logo to be lessened from the TV's default, you set this to LOW Logo Brightness. "A" should really be written just "Logo Brightness", because "Adjust" is simply the user's action! To avoid burn-in with "A", you are choosing the AMOUNT of brightness logos will have. Each has the same end function, but describe opposite things, you see. Regards,It appears to depend on what your TV has: " Set Logo Luminance Adjustment to high from the OLED Panel Settings in the Picture Menu."įrom what i've read so far in few articles and forums, High should be the preferred setting instead of Low. On LG website is mentioned:You can reduce the risk of Image Retention by manually changing certain settings on your TV. This will have your TV detecting logos (like the one burned into my C7), and lower the brightness on those to stop burn-in there. " Then, make sure Adjust Logo Brightness is set to Low.

Then, make sure Adjust Logo Brightness is set to Low. This will keep the LG OLED TV adjusting the screen in tiny amounts at regular intervals to help prevent burn-in. Then, select General, select OLED Care, and Select OLED Panel Care. Again, hold the settings button on your LG Magic Remote until a spinning wheel comes up. Outlook: Enable these LG OLED burn-in prevention toolsĪll that said, there are a few settings to enable. Or after you notice image retention.Īnd using the Pixel Cleaning/Refresher tool too often, I'm told, can lead to problems of its own. "Regularly," it seems means after 2,000 hours after watching. Reading the words "Manual Pixel Refresher is also available in case you notice any image retention or when you get a reminder to run it after 2,000 hours of watching," my mind was both blown and changed. For example, if you watched TV for two hours yesterday and three hours today (more than four hours in total), Pixel Refresher will automatically run, deal with potential image retention issues and reset its operation time." That page says "Pixel Refresher is automatically operated when you turn off the TV after watching it for more than four hours in total. And this is when I got more confirmation that Nick was right. And then I found a page on LG's site that explains more about the Pixel Cleaner (or as it refers to it, Pixel Refresher). So, I asked Nick to reach out to his reps at LG about my concerns (we will update this article if and when we learn more).
