Disable LG B77 OLED upgrade message

I use a Roku 4k box for all TV playback and don't use the LG GUI/apps at all. Its promting me to upgrade the software every time I turn it on. But I don't want to agree to any more terms-of-service agreements. To be honest as good as the TV is I would not have purchased it had I know of the TOS agreements that I would be required to sign. Regardless, I did but I don't want to do any more. How can I supress the upgrade message on power-on, and is there any downside to this? Thanks

OLED TV ICC profile activates on Ultrawide as well.

I have my LG C2 TV and AW3423DW connected to the same GPU. I made an ICC HDR profile on my C2 using the HDR calibration software. But when I enable HDR on my AW3423DW, the C2's ICC profile activates there as well. The nits in HDR is therefor wrong.

Is there a way to get my C2 ICC profile to NOT activate on my AW3423DW?

Diagonal dark lines Samsung S90D

Hi,

Just noticed my new Samsung S90D has diagonal lines when viewed at a close angle to the side.

I spoke to Samsung support and they said since I can't replicate during the Picture test function on the TV that it is not a defect and is a normal outcome from the manufacturing process.

Definitely doesn't seem normal to me? Does anyone else have this issue? Just wondering what I should do now as I spent almost 1500 pounds on this TV.

First 4K & OLED with S90C: Questions and worries

Hey folks,

We've got our first OLED TV 2 months ago and was expecting extra great performance, which I'm getting on some scenarios but it is underwhelming on some other scenarios. I've read plenty of stuff, tried to tweak lots of things but still some question marks are in my head:

Am I doing something wrong? Are my expectations incorrect? Do I have to adapt to OLEDs?

I would really appreciate if you can share your opinions and suggestions to me. I have some bullet points which I believe hold true but maybe I'm mistaken?

- Filmmaker mode, despite the positive propaganda, does seem to stutter a lot on streaming and in general, it feels like a 24 FPS yellowish mode. I guess it is not intended for streaming quality?

- Intelligent mode, despite the negative propaganda, seem like to give decent results compared to all my tweaking with Standard mode.

- Motion blurriness/ghosting is REALLY bad. Sports I don't even have any expectations but even some movement such as hand waving, looks absolutely blurry. Dynamic, Standard, motion clarirty settings etc. does not seem to improve much. Is it really that bad or that's just because 4K streaming has low bitrate/FPS and the TV cannot provide? (Apple TV streaming is definitely better compared to Prime or Netflix 4K as claimed, BTW)

That said, playing on XBOX looks awesome. 60/120 FPS; it is always great and I don't experience any blurrines or ghosting. That makes me wonder if it's all because of the source material but if that's the case, what can I do to watch 4K stuff? Would running Netflix/Apple via XBOX improve over running it via TV's native apps?

Close-up shots looks great but whenever there is minor movement, I feel like watching a low res stuff. Is it just me being too sensitive?

Thank you all in advance. I just feel kinda sad after spending so much money and not getting the the performance I was dreaming of.

Cheers!

Information on Philips 550OLED808/12 line.

Hey everyone.

Unfortunately it seems like there is very limited information about the Philips OLED's to be found. I know they use LG panels but I'm interested in finding out which exact one as they look like a good deal. Pricewise I would expect them to compare to a LG C3 as it's a 2023 model. The most information I found so far is here but I'm not knowledgeable to extract out of this information which LG it compares to.

I'm also interested what the differences between the different versions of this line are so I know if it makes sense to spend a little more or I should go for the cheapest one.

If you think I will make a mistake by choosing these TV's please let me know and suggest a better option for my budget of 1500 euros.

Does turning on 144hz mode on my lg c4 tv and 120hz mode on the Spider-Man game on my ps5 make the graphics quality. Since higher graphics settings usually result in lower frames. Or are these settings just unlocking the game and tv to be able to reach these higher frame rates.

TV vs Monitor Question

So how do we compete 1440 at high settings to 4K at low to mid settings? Thinking about getting LG OLED TV (coming from monitor) and if I get a TV, gonna have to run games at 4K resolution (do have a 3090) but I do play GPU demanding games….Whats the visual fidelity difference? Should I just stick with my LG 27 inch OLED monitor??

Philips OLED TV pour issue when gaming

My Philips OLED TV has recently started dimming my colour when I start a game. I figured out if I go into my general setting then HDMI ULTRA HD & change it from “Optimal (Auto Game)” to “Optimal” then change it back it fixes the colour but this problem recurs whenever I start up a game & it’s getting annoying having to go into the settings to do this everytime to fix.

Has anyone had this problem & does anyone know of a permanent fix🙏

When the colour change occurs my picture setting don’t change at all, colour, sharpness, contrast etc are all exactly the same so I don’t understand what’s happening at all.

S90C - Remote Range Issue

I just picked up a 65" S90C. I haven't messed with it too much, and just set it up this morning.

An issue I've noticed is that the included remote (tiny solar remote) has a VERY limited range. Like, I probably need to be within ~9-10" of the TV in order for it to be picked up.

Some things I've tested:

  • I plugged it in until until the light turned off, so the remote is fully charged
  • I've ensured that I'm pointing it right at the receiver
  • I've removed the plastic over the receiver on the TV
  • There doesn't appear to be plastic over the end of the remote
  • I took my old 55MU630D remote and tried that
    • This remote works from much larger ranges, including in the next room over

This testing leads me to believe that it's something about the new remote itself, and not a setting on the TV or something blocking the signal.

Did I just get a faulty remote? I haven't seen many people complaining about this online.

Automatic Dimming while watching football

I have recently purchased sony bravia 8. While watching football in Disney plus hotstar the brightness goes down automatically. My picture mode is set to vivid and brightness is max. I have tried turning off and on the ambient light settings but to no avail. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Samsung S90D ClearMotion issue

So simple question/issue I think: when I use ClearMotion for things like sporting events, the screen becomes darker. Is it possible to create a separate image setting with ClearMotion on and color settings turned up so it's brighter? I don't want to edit the settings with ClearMotion on and when I turn it off it messes up the settings I already had.

Hopefully that makes sense. It's kind of annoying that this option darkens the screen because otherwise my image settings are perfect for the room.

Is the ASUS PG32UCDM good for both programming and gaming for long hours?

Hey folks,

I’m a programmer who also spends a good amount of time gaming. I’ve been looking at the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM and wondering if it’s a good fit for both work and play. I usually clock in more than 8 hours a day on my PC, switching between coding and gaming sessions.

Anyone using this monitor for similar purposes? How does it hold up for long hours? Any advice or feedback would be awesome. Thanks!

LG C3 - Bought refurbished, says only 3 power on hours. Am I checking the right thing.

Did I get lucky? Or is there something else I should be checking to gauge the “health” of my panel. Thanks in advance.

Some technology question about pixel shifting/pixel wear in OLED monitors + a question about the G60SD

I am currently contemplating on going the OLED route for my PC monitor. I have an XG2431 that is defective(slightly darker horizontal lines through the image, black lines when not at 240hz, still in RMA window) and I really don't want to go through the pain of LCD again.
I understand the shortcomings of OLED and I understand (most of) the measures taken to mitigate them.
However there is one thing I don't understand:

Why is pixel shifting done at such great frequencies? From what I gather, burn in isn't expected for many years if you don't happen to abuse your panel. 3-5 minutes seems obscene to me in light of these timeframes. Why not instead do this every time the display goes into standby/dimming?

A fellow reddit-user told me that continuous on-time exacerbates pixel wear, beyond what is expected for the raw on-time(2x 5 min better than 1x 10 min?), however I could not find a single resource making that claim, though to be fair I did not dig through mountains on Google Scholar. It would also appear to me like that doesn't really matter given pixel shifting is more so designed to "take off the edge"(pun intended).
Is there anything to support this other than expected temperature accumulation?

My problem with all of this is that I am very motion sensitive. I don't care if my image is not centered perfectly, but I would probably care a lot if I was reading something and had the text jump ever so slightly every couple of minutes or I was holding an angle in CS and had everything move on me ever so slightly.
To be fair, its probably best for me to go to a store and look at pixel shifting in person anyhow.
I am basically asking these questions to understand if these issues are solvable in the future or are technology inherent(As I said, not about pixel shifting itself, but the frequency of it).

Now to the G60SD:
Does pixel shifting behavior depend on used settings on this display?
While I probably spend more than 12h per day in front of my screen, I would use really low brightness. My current one only goes down to 80 nits and frankly that's too bright for me for most situations, I would expect more like 50-70nits peak for me to be fine.
I have heard of other displays to only pixel shift when static content is detected or do so more often when a higher brightness is used.

I am thankful for any answers.

EDIT: I am unsure this flair really fits, but I think it is the least off one.

AW3423DWF redish rows of pixels

https://imgur.com/a/9yrP7IR

Anyone had a problem like this? Few rows of pixels at the top going roughly to the middle of the screen are brighter and a bit red. This just randomly appered one day. I know it's not picture coz it's not visible when it moves to the bottom due to pixel shift. Tried panel refresh, unpluging over night, factory reset, updated to latest firmware but nothing changes. Have this now for a month or two. It's not getting worse or better over time. So im guessing it's a radom panel defect. I have the monitor for over year and a half and had no problems with it before.

Wtf is this?

Ok, should I return this brand new Samsung OLED S90D?

When I removed the protective film, I noticed that corner was not glued to the screen from the factory. Now it looks like that corner of the tv is imprinted/stained.

I tried to clean it with window cleaner but without success.

Should I return it?

LG TVs asking to log on when you already are to install an app

I just wanted to share this so if people need to know how to fix this it might come up in a Google search. When I was troubleshooting it didn't.

If you're trying to install an app and your TV asks you to log in when you already are, don't use the search button on the home screen. Instead, use the "Apps" app then search there.

I'm not sure it why it's like this, but that's what I did to bypass this error.

I hope this helps anyone that needs it.

MSI MAG 271QPX or Ultrawide oled 1440p

I'm looking for a monitor and debating which I should get, there is the MSI MAG 271QPX available for around 670 euros its the 360hz one and seems to use the newer panels, or I'm debating on going ultrawide for the first time. The MSI MAG 271QPX seems to be using newer oled panels that are more resistant to burn in and non ultrawides seem to have better support for games.

I don't really want to aim for a 4k oled since theyre all 1000+ and 4k seems pretty expensive to run and constantly have to look for gpu upgrades along with the newer games.

Burn-In in Dell Alienware AW3423DWF /DW?

I know there are many posts here on the subject but I haven't seen anything new lately, people have had the DWF or the DW for a very long time, and I would love to know from your long experience with the screens what the current situation is when it comes to burn in (and how satisfied you are of course)

So I received the AW3423DWF two days ago, and I'm still bothered by the screen burn issue. I debated whether to buy the MSI MAG 341CQP or the Gigabyte MO34WQC (which received Black Friday discounts and were at a similar price) but in the end I went for the Dell because from what I saw there is a consensus that it is excellent. Some places say that QD-OLED computer screens are more susceptible to burn in and some say the opposite.

I'm going to be using the screen for both gaming and studying, internet, movies, etc. which means there will be a lot of static stuff displayed on the screen for a long time. I did that after a minute without moving the mouse, the screen turns off, but when it comes to studies in ZOOM, this is not always the case and the screen can stay on for a long time (of course, I activated DARK MODE, but this does not apply to everything)

Although the warranty provider in my country says that it includes burn in, but I also do not want to build on that (there are always those who will try to make excuses and not provide the promised service, etc.) and I also plan to stay with the screen well beyond the 3 year warranty.

It is clear to me that screen burn-in is inevitable, but unlike my C3, this is also a different panel (QD-OLED generation 1) and it is also a computer with much more static things that can cause burn-in

So from your experience with the DWF / DW, do you have burn in? What is the nature of your use? How long have you had the screen? Regardless, are you happy with it?

thanks!

LG 32gs95ue no longer automatic pixel cleaning after going into service menu?

I went into the service menu a week or so ago for the first time to disable the edge screen dimming, and I was extremely careful not to touch anything else.

However, I haven't gotten any prompts for image/pixel cleanings when I power off since then. Is there a fix for this? Am I doing something wrong?

Any help is much appreciated.

Image quality: native apps vs chromecast apps

Hi, I have lg g2 oled and chromecast with google tv 4k. I am comparing the image quality between using webos native apps and apps from tivimate.

Question: did you notice any differences in image quality when using apps from external device like chromecast compared to lg webos native apps? Are there any downsides of using chromecast regarding image quality?

Thanks

Panasonic LZW2004 with many Problems

I am desperate... my Panasonic lzw2004 which I have owned for just over a year is having problems.

Not only does it show strong colour gradations even in the background image of the settings, it also has other problems.

When I start the ps5 and it brings the TV out of rest mode, the picture occasionally appears green.

If I activate hdr while playing, the screen remains black, while the HDMI 1 text jumps back and forth between different colour tones.

Sometimes the TV forgets that the PlayStation is connected to the HDMI 1 port (it doesn't really matter which 1 and 2 support HDMI 2.1). Then I have to set the mode from mode 3 (high-resolution formats & high frame rate) to mode 2 (high-resolution formats), whereby VRR can no longer be activated.

The panel & motherboard have already been changed 2 times. Therefore I do not understand what the Problem is…

Samsung 65S90D builtin chromecast or external 4K chromecast

Hello everybody,

Tomorrow I will pickup up my 65 inch QD Oled Samsung television. Currently I use a 4K external chromecast to make my current TV smart on itself (7 year old LED). But after tomorrow I will have a television which has all built in apps I need. Or even Google TV.

Now is there a reason to use one or the other? I want to make most out of my Television and Soundbar..

Thank you.

OLED monitor with good brightness controls

I have a vision impairment that creates some unique challenges in using computer monitors. I find the contrast ratio of OLEDs helpful, but they can be very bright. I tried an early OLED monitor and found the image quality degraded when lowering the brightness. It _might_ have been a defective display. It was returned.

Are there any OLED monitors that can get pretty dark?
