I have this 77" TV that I bought about 10 months ago, when I turn it off, it flashes a white light, almost like a flash from a camera. Do you have any ideas of what this is, is it normal, and should I worry? it only happens when the screen is off; the picture quality is still top-notch!

I found these three ultrawide monitors, and i'm debating which one to get. I decided that a 34" is essentially what i need as i need more space.

Here are the options:

1.) MSI MPG 341CQPX QD-OLED 34" UWQHD (3440x1440) 240Hz 0.03ms GTG Curved Gaming Monitor ($988)
2.) Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3423DWF ($970)
3.) 34 Philips Evnia 34M2C6500 QD OLED Curve HDR400 175hz 3440 x 1440p/FS, 2HDMI2.0 DP ($800)

Inclined to get the philips due to the price difference, but i see some bad reviews online about the monitor.

Which one would be the best value for my money? or are there better options? thanks!

A friend of mine is going to be giving me his old OLED TV soon. The only issue is that, unfortunately, the TV has some pretty nasty burn-in in the form of a giant Netflix logo in the corner. I understand that burn-in is permanent damage, but I've come across youtube videos that are apparently supposed to help get rid of it by having a scrolling RGB pallette that burns the rest of the pixels as well, making the burnt-in portion much harder to see.

I've never had an OLED before so I'm excited to get it no matter what, Netflix logo or not, but I just wanted to ask if anyone can advise on whether or not it's a good idea to try? I'm well aware that it would essentially be damaging the rest of the pixels to match the already damaged ones. Is it worth it or am I better off just dealing with a streaming service watermark on everything?

Hi Guys,

As title says, just wanted to turn off my LG C3 but it wont, I had to press the power off button like 5-6 times in a row to turn the tv off while everything else from remote works as expected.

I reseted the TV and issue was still persistent, only unplugging from the power did fix it, but now the TV turns on really slow, like 10-15 seconds.

No settings are changed after factory reset.

Hi all

Our LG OLED has suddenly out of nowhere gained a fairly obvious triangular shadowed area on the bottom left.

I can’t for the life of me think what’s done this - we were just watching Severance.

TV is only 2 months old. The sun does come through the window into this room but not that strongly and the TV is in the same place it’s always been. Plus the triangle is quite pronounced.

The pixels aren’t dead. I have the pixel moving thing on. We’ve tried it being off for a couple of mins at the wall then back on again.

Anyone had this? I’m so confused. For context the triangle starts at the left edge and is about 5” high, and the top edge then travels down to about a third of the way into the screen. It looks like a set square shape essentially. It seems to only really affect dark pixels. When it’s a light area of an image it’s much much less visible.

Thoughts very much appreciated as this wasn’t a cheap telly! I’ve read the FAQ but looks like a potentially different issue.

I have a 77” Samsung S90D QD OLED (not WOLED).

90% of the movies I stream look incredible but occasionally I’ll come across a movie where the dark, inky blacks will be a layered pixelated topography. I don’t know how else to describe it.

I’m assuming it has more to do with the quality of content than the TV settings given that it’s not present on the majority of things. But when it’s bad, it’s very bad.

My internet extremely fast and doesn’t greatly fluctuate speeds, so I know that’s not the issue.

My question is, if possible, what setting would I adjust to correct this? Or is just the nature of streaming high definition digital content that sometimes you get a dud of movie? Is it an upscaling issue?

I got this TV back in 2018 and after cleaning it sometime around September of last year I started noticing these vertical lines, which are most visible when there are dark, vibrant colors on screen (especially red). My worry is that I cleaned it (using Endust screen wipes) too shortly after turning it off and somehow damaged the screen. I've run pixel refresh several times since then and it hasn't helped. Did I permanently damage the screen or is there a way to undo this?

I've had this TV for a couple of years. I'm used to the usual Android TV quirks but lately I've been having some weird issues and basically the TV has gone to shit.

Using the inbuilt apps, it's started to buffer/lag massively. I know this is a TV issue as my Sky TV works fine on the same apps, and no other devices are having connectivity problems. I've tried connecting to my Wifi 7 router through the main network name and the compatibility band but still it's unwatchable. I know I can use a dedicated streaming box but don't feel I should have to when I paid for a TV that works with all of the apps included.

Another issue that I've only recently noticed is that when playing my Series X in 4K/120HZ in monitor mode to get the true resolution, I sometimes notice flashing red lines to the left of the screen. It's not the HDMI lead or SX as I've swapped both out and it still happens. I believe gaming mode halves the resolution so that's not really an option.

Is there any fixes to these issues at all, especially one that doesn't compromise picture quality? It's been a mostly reliable TV with no noticeable banding so will be a ballache to replace, but I do have a 6 year warranty on it.

I have read LG OLED TVs are supposed to do a "click" noise when turning them off that indicates a compensation cycle is being done to protect the screen. However, on my B4 48 inch, there is no sound at all when turning the TV off? Is that normal? Could it indicate the compensation cycles aren't working correctly? How can I tell otherwise?

Hi all,

I'm on my 3rd OLED Panel, the last tech that came out to swap it didn't do a very good job. It's been about a year, and during certain scenes in movies/TV shows the back panel of the TV/Speakers buzz and rattle. If I push on the back of the TV it stops it.

I suspect they improperly torqued the screws, and may have misaligned the speakers (maybe the speakers aren't in the rubber grommets like they're supposed to be?) How difficult is it to remove the rear panel, and check the speaker alignment, and see if I can retorque all of the screws properly?

Thanks!

We have a Samsung 77” 4K OLED Smart TV, purchased at Best Buy in April 2024. When doing a routing clean, we followed the manufacturer instructions and used a microfiber cloth with water (bottled) and it left a noticeable mark on the screen. We have contacted Samsung and after much back and fourth, routine “we see there is a mark on the TV and so sorry for your inconvenience” type of messages and subsequent calls which were routed and re-routed, the long and short of it is that we were told there was no damage and then told to pay $200 for a technician visit but then nothing could be done. Hard to accept that a $2k 8 month old TV cleaned according to manufacturers instructions is supposed to have this level of marking and we are supposed to just accept it. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix the appearance or address this with Samsung or Best Buy? Thanks in advance!

Edit just to clarify the instructions said to use water and a microfiber cloth, which is what we did.

Hi,
On my oled screen subtitles appear overly dark across all apps (Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video), even when set to bright colors. Issues persist despite:

• Adjusting in-app subtitle settings (color/opacity).
• Resetting TV subtitle/accessibility settings.
• Tweaking OLED brightness/contrast (SDR/HDR tested).

Any firmware fix, hidden settings, or known workarounds? Thanks!

Purchase a 55CS (Europe) back in August ‘23 and yesterday I noticed this. What can this be? Dead pixels? It has this weird green (?) tint. And it’s only on the upper left side of the screen. Should I send it to warranty? Thanks

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a Samsung OLED TV that I’ve barely used (maybe 5-6 hours total at most). Today, I noticed these green triangle shapes on both sides of the screen, coming from the center of the screen.

The triangles are only visible under certain lighting conditions and from specific angles, so they don’t affect normal content or dark scenes.

However, it’s still annoying considering the TV is practically brand new and has been covered most of the time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have a dark finished basement needing a 65” tv. I ordered a 65” LG C4 for $1600 with tax. I just found a $600 used 65” CX w 9500 hours of use on marketplace. Is the brighter C4 worth $1000? I’d like to spend the rest of the budget on a good sound system

Usage: streaming TV & movies, casual console gaming.

Just curious to see how many of you this bothers?

Hey all,

Unsure if this is the right place to ask this. I purchased a Samsung S93D 55" TV. This TV is listed as having HDR10+.

However whenever I play HDR content on YouTube (I have Premium and select 2160p60 HDR) or via Amazon Prime Video, nothing suggests the content is playing in HDR. My old TV, a Samsung AU9000D would show a message saying HDR and the settings would change to reflect this. However the S93D gives no reference that HDR content is actually playing.

This is using the TVs built in apps.

I've changed to Filmmaker mode but nothing. In Picture > Expert Settings, HDR Tone Mapping is greyed out regardless of the content and Gamma only gives BT.1886 and 2.2, HLG and ST.2084 are greyed out.

So I am not convinced it is actually decoding HDR content at all. I am unable to find a way for the tv to display the signal it is receiving and what decoding it may be doing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Edit: Read that the Steam Deck supports HDR so plugged this in via a dock, HDR Enable showed in the Steam Deck settings so enabled this and now my TV settings have changed to show HDR on the picture mode.

So HDR doesn't work on the TVs built in apps? Is that meant to be that way? Seems a bit odd and I don't know if I wish to purchase a Fire TV or Roku when the TV has all the apps built in

Tiny bright green stuck pixel dot

When certain colors are displayed on my OLED computer monitor a tiny bright green dot appears on the upper left of screen. On the the link above you'll notice some dot inside white outlined circle. It appears to be "stuck" in the color in question, is that normal thing with this kind of monitor?

Hey,

Can a device like an Apple TV or PC affect the settings of an OLED TV?

If for example the Apple TV or PC / console shuts down by itself due to their own energy saving settings can this change a TV's own Energy Saving settings turning them On?

Or can these devices bug the TV's settings changing the image profile? (for example changing from Filmmaker Mode to Standard without the user doing this)?
I know that each input has its own settings and that SDR / HDR and Dolby Vision have their own image profiles I'm not referring about this.

Thanks for any clarification :)

Hi there, so I have a question. I have the opportinity to by an used 55" LG OLED55C7V for around 250$. Its from January 2018. Do you think its worth it? What should I check when buying?

They say OLED screens consume lots of power and lessen the battery charge. But I wonder how much difference in battery life compared to Non-OLED are we talking about? Half ? Or something like30mins to 1hour less?

Do you own a laptop with OLED screen? Share your honest battery feedback please.

I have a 65 inch LG OLED from 2017. Recently it has started going black intermittently during streaming specifically streaming animated TV shows (I noticed this a lot when my daughter is watching Bluey). The sound continues to work, but the screen goes black. It is not just the content that goes black, because menus and settings options also will not appear during this black period. The black screen lasts about five seconds or so and then the TV continues to work as normal. I typically stream from an Apple TV. I replaced the HDMI cable and it still occurs. I tried streaming from the Disney+ app through the LG TV and the black screen also happens, so it appears this is an issue with the TV and not a specific streaming box or HDMI cable. I have tried turning screen shift off and doing a factory reset for settings for the TV and the issue persists. Has anyone else encountered this?

Edit: it's also not just Bluey and not just Disney+. It happens with cartoons on Netflix and Hulu as well.

On my LG B4 OLED, most of the time, everything looks fantastic and works as expected. However, sometimes, when turning it on, it will randomly starting dimming up and down, fluctuating in brightness. It's really bad and distracting. Turning the TV on and off a few times will fix it, and it won't happen again for as long as the TV is on, so it's not ABL/ABSL. Reading through a few posts on here, it seems to be a software issue/bug due to an update, and disabling "Quickstart+" is supposed to fix it. However, even with that setting disabled, it's still happening.

For other LG B4 owners, are you experiencing this? Is there anything else I could try? Assuming it is actually a software issue, does LG have a good track record with fixing this kind of stuff?

Hey guys. I have this Samsung OLED S90C and today the screen started to present a white spot, even with the screen turned off.

Is this the famous burn in? I bought the TV a year ago.

Hello. I'm looking to adjust HDR settings for my MSI 321UP monitor to make sure it looks as best as possible. This monitor isn't popular, so there aren't a lot of guides out there. From my understanding it is the same panel as the 321URX however.

I've seen HDR guides for PS5 where when adjusting it at a system level, you are supposed to go until you cannot see the sun and then go one more click further. However, it seems this applies only to TVs that have HGIG and/or DTM, neither of which are on this monitor. Does anyone here have experience with this?

Also, on a monitor system level, I am looking at HDR 400 and Peak 1000 to see which one is better. I've been told the 400 is closer to the artist's intention and the Peak1000 has issues with the MSI 321 brand. I do not have a way to update firmware, I am at 009.

And finally, which Game or Professional Mode to use. I've seen many reports of using the "User" setting, but equally as many say the "sRGB" mode. I primarily play in HDR, so adjusting contrast, brightness, etc. is not possible with this monitor while in HDR. I also tried the "Premium Color" option, which looks better than both "User" and "sRGB", but it apparently over saturates the image. But when switching back to "User" or "sRGB", everything looks much more grey and dull.

Thank you for any and all help.

I bought an OLED 65 inch LG tv on Facebook and all of my yellows are looking green. Skin tones don’t look very good either. We did transport the tv lying down on blankets for about 20 minutes but I feel like that’s not the issue? I didn’t know anything about OLED previously so I didn’t think to check that specifically, he just turned it on for me and let the screen saver run which looked great, but it was a blue and green screensaver of a lake with trees around it so it would have been hard to tell. They seemed like really nice people who wouldn’t have done something like this, so I’m trying to figure out if it’s somehow my fault.

Photos of the tv now that I have it and photo he sent me to show me where the burn in was:

https://imgur.com/a/IO8Yab7

Update:

Was definitely scammed. I know in stupid for trusting these people, but I didn’t know anything about OLED really except that sometimes a repeated image can get burned in. My friend who has the same/a similar TV sent it to me and told me it was a very expensive TV for very cheap so I trusted him too. He didn’t tell me anything about testing the reds or anything like that. I did actually test it at the guys house but it was just screensaver image that looked great. Tried to get my money back and he told me it was my fault for moving it, which after some research I realize is just a lie. Definitely not actually nice people, they just seemed nice. Luckily only spent $150 on it which I split with my partner.

Here’s a pic of the color test I did which confirmed the burn in and which he said happened because I moved it wrong haha:

This averages to nearly 6hrs a day of screen on time. No possible way. I travel for work for weeks at a time and on the days I’m home I do game but there no way I’m gaming or watching 8+hrs a day every day if you account for the days I’m gone when the tv gets zero use.

Can this number be wrong?

Gorgeous TV by the way, however after 24hrs…I noticed a small half circle of dead pixels in the bottom right corner along with 3-5rows of dead pixels across the entire bottom, it could of been there from the start idk.

You can hardly notice it majority of the time especially with our viewing distance by now that I see it, I can’t “un-see it”

I’m still within my return policy and wondering if I should get the same TV or something else. It’s my first OLED and I love it but I’ve had a variety of high end 4K LED and Full Array and never had an issue. So I’m just kinda scared to get another.
