Just so you are aware, if you have a stigmatism (and even when you wear glasses), you will be getting bloom on subtitles regardless of how good your TV is.
Add to that, beginning stages of cataracts, lightly abraded cornea due to no tear oil production, and dirty glasses, and I’m surprised the subtitles didn’t appear like headlights in fog.
I got an old 2015 model of a Sony Bravia (40"). I'm so surprised how well it's held up! I use this daily for hours. I watch lots of UA-cam, Netflix and play videogames. Sometimes for many hours at a time. I haven't even cleaned it in a while and I was still so impressed with this test!
The 60FPS version is much much better for the motion subtitle test. My Odyssey G9 did surprisingly well against the test, aside from the fully vertical dimming zones. That being said, the right-most dimming zone was lit up the entire time due to the branding logo in the corner.
Am I genuinely the only one who didn't know what I am supposed to be looking for in most of these tests? 😂 First of all I sometimes couldn't tell what segments are b-roll and which are tests. The "this motion should be smooth" one was clear enough, but it might help if you explained (for example) what blooming is so we can look for it? 😂
My Panasonic TC-P65ST30 plasma made in 2011 has been my living room workhorse. This test showed no issues at all. I'm truly amazed at how well it's kept up over the years. I remember when I bought it all the FUD about burn-in and how the plasma would leak out. The image would only be half as bright in only a couple years... Blah blah blah. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm still rocking my Panasonic plasma too! This thing still has beautiful clean motion and colors. I've never seen an LCD with better picture to this day. When I can afford it I want an LG OLED, but until then my st60 is amazing.
My 15-year old big screen Panasonic Plasma shows no burn-in, no dark spots, nothing. The only thing we did to it a couple of years ago was to put a non-reflective sticker on the front. It's still a space heater while it's running, but other than that I have no complaints. And it's *not* a smart TV, which is hard to find these days. I won't replace it until it petrifies.
@@bruceleach2543 a little update, that I'm sure nobody really cares about, but I just ordered my upgrade. I love my plasma but it's time for a new king. Just ordered a 77 inch LG C3 OLED. Super excited for it to come in.
Thanks for putting this video together! I do a lot of buying, repairing and reselling / donating old tech and televisions are some of the most items I came across. I tested this on my Hisense 50R6+ and everything looks pretty good to me, it’s not the fanciest TV on earth but for a 50” Roku TV that I got ~14 mo ago on Black Friday it gets the job done! I’ll let you know as I test it on some of my other units, and I’ll certainly be subscribing for more content
I got a Sony Bravia KDL-40R553C (40'') from april of 2015. Been using it daily as a computer screen (5-15 hours a day) and the only thing I've noticed (prior to this video) is a screen burn-in of the Windows Taskbar, a clear and very noticable line when the screen is gray. Though it is not that bad of a burn-in! Nice to see that my almost 7 year old TV still has no problems with frame-rate, banding nor DSE!
Thank you so much! I know your videos is a couple years old. I have a 2020 Sony A8H OLED. I I handle it with kit gloves. No image retention, minimal blooming, great refresh rate with your geometrical shapes. Thanks for the video again and it makes me feel like I made a great choice in a TV.
2009 Panasonic 42 inch 1080p 60hz NeoDPD plasma tv. No burn in or image retention, no dirty screen effect, hardly any blooming, motion smooth as it should be, and most importantly, though not in this test: realistic skin textures. I bought this tv new, 15 years ago and I'll probably cry if it ever dies beyond repair. To this day I haven't found a tv which is as relaxing to the eye to watch as this one.
cool my secendery monitor is a 10+ years tv and it work great but my main tv is lg 8k signature hisence wcq75 and tcl 120 inch and hisence 115 inch i have 2 home theter so that why 2 big tvs the 75 inch is in my bedroom and the lg 98 signatrue 8k is on the living room ppl say to me i spend too much on tvs but f that 😂😂
Ist this Test useful for OLED and what should I expect to see, if the screen isn't correct. I watch it right now on my phone, while looking for a new TV.
Ran this on my 1440p monitor and it performed very very well. Happy with it, my tv is an old LG with scratches and discolouration on the screen so definitely going to fail that one.
Hi, new to channel. I just tried the test and iv got 5 blue round patches and the dirty screen effect. It's a 6yr mid range Samsung, I thought I saw a problem but this just proved it. I'm greatful to you for the test, it really shows the problems. When I can afford it, il be getting a new TV..hope it lasts till then. Many thanks (Rob).
Hi there, thank you for this handy video, I recently changed my 3 Yr old LG C9 in for. a lovely new Panasonic Jz1500, it's a wonderful Oled, which is just a bit brighter and has a few more options for picture settings than my older C9, I. needed a. break from LG as I've had so many although the C9 was my first oled, whilst waiting for the Panasonic to come I. had to use an older lcd, and I couldn't bear it after using OLED,, there's no going back, as for the test, my tv being Oled did wondefully, it's a very expensive TV as the C9 was when it was new, but it's a lovely upgrade and doesn't have the clunky home screen of the C1, thanks again for you're brilliant videos
Thanks for this test. I was pretty happy with my 75" Samsung QN90B. It did very well on the DSE test. It did have slight blooming on the subtitles and the smaller square. I'm pleased overall with my panel.
Me: clicking on this video thinking my tv will be fine, suddenly shows an older version of the exact Samsung tv I have (QN900C) with a huge dark mark in the middle 😮 0:42
Alright, so for those of you that are freaking out because your monitor isn't tracking smoothly even though you just bought it, let me just reassure you that this video is basically a giant misinformation piece. I tested the video on a brand new very high end monitor, and on my last monitor, and the test was the same on both, so I was curious, and well... If you go to 2:18 and go frame by frame you'll notice that sometimes the text does not move per frame, it is still for 3-4 frames at a time, and then continues to move, and that is causing the janky movement that you THINK is your monitor. Its the video, not your monitor.
@@Littlebrownchicken - Compression won't have any influence on frame rate, unless your computer is so slow that it can't decode the video fast enough. If you're noticing discontinuity during that part of the video, it's more likely that your network connection is just not keeping up with the video. Rewind a couple of seconds, replay it, and it should play smoothly (because by then it will be cached by our browser).
Just tested. Not an issue. Every frame has equivalent motion. It is likely your video codec being outdated, and reading the P and B frames wrong. Compression into P and B frames (FYI you too @RFC3514 ) does have influence on framerate in extreme cases, as it messes up what to draw and when. The video is 100% correct, but so are you, as this has nothing to do with your monitor/TV screen, and is a codec or driver issue on your end. Update video codec and drivers and you'll be golden.
Ive got an LG 37” TV made in May 2009, very slightly dim at the very left and right, and the grey screen had a small amount of dimming to the middle right, still extremely happy for how long its lasted and considering how many things have hit the screen
Thank you. *Second hand* Vizio D55-F2 model had its entire bottom row dark with dse, and about an eighth of the top right portion was dark with dse. The people we received it from gave it to us for free because it was just so distracting for them. We managed to correct some of the severity of the problem and have been managing, but after this video I’m just going to get and install new lights for the TV. It’s a decent QLED model and if I could upgrade I would but for now I’ll just get new lights and enjoy what I have. Thanks for the video
I have an LG 70UP7070PUE (70-inch 4K UHD). I'm closing in on 4 years of having it, and so far it's almost flawless. The only issue: when the grey screen was shown, I noticed some very, *very* subtle vertical dimming in the middle. Had to strain my eyes to see it. Super happy with this thing :3
Haven't tested this on my TV as I'm away from home but I did test it on my 16 inch Macbook Pro (M1 pro) and the result was excellent except some negligible blooming, which is understandable since it has a mini-led display.
Just tested this on a Qned85. It passed with flying colours! Barely any blooming like a lot of these reviews say about this tv. Such a good price too I’m happy with my purchase
Just run this test with my 6.5 year old LG 65UF950V. And I was truly surprised that even I use my TV as second work display for my laptop and also for my desktop computer, there was no burn-in or anything. And 60fps motion was also, well not perfect, but relatively good. Couple of days ago I ordered LG 86QNED81. Interesting to compare and see how 86 inch screen with edge-lit tech runs this test :) Thanks for this test.
Test was perfect, 100% ZERO burn in, 5 year old 2018 Samsung Q8FN 65" QLED TV. PHENOMENAL PICTURE QUALITY TV, 100% rock solid flawless performance from day one.
I have a Sony A90J 65” OLED I brought nearly 3 years ago here in UK. I discovered from your test slight dirty screen in bottom left of my screen but just slightly. Which is impressive for a 3 year old OLED that’s been on for 10 hours every day since. I’m moving this 65” Sony to the bedroom and going for a 98” TCL c855 for the lounge. Thanks for this test
I have a 75 inch Sony X90L that I purchased almost exactly one year ago (for delivered a week after Black Friday). Blooming has never bothered me and I think people make too big of a deal out of it,along with viewing angles. Everything about this TV is great,with one exception; it has mediocre motion handling. It's not terrible,but it's not great either,unless there's some settings that I haven't figured out yet. All that said,it did really good with this test.
Very useful video, thanks! I only got very slight burn un on the edges of my 2009 model, lcd digital Sony tv. I think its a Bravia Sony model but it dosent say. Baaarely noticable really but the test helped show what existed at all 👍
I have a Vizio 65" (model V655-H9 if anyone wants to know) that is a bit over 4 years old. That last "dirty screen" test was a total and complete failure. I've got more stripes than a zebra on this damn thing and the corners are dark enough for a mediocre ninja to hide in. Maybe it's time to look into replacing it, even though it isn't very old.
Running a Hisense 43P6. Only some small issues with dirty screen effect in the corners and the subtitles were ever so slightly blurry when moving across the screen at their fastest. Been ever so impressed with this tv and it's 5 years old. Best $600 AUD Ive spent on a tv!
I am just subscribed to your channel,and I have an LG UHD 49" TV model no.49UM70 that I have had for 12 months now,and it ran the image tests with no screen burns or issues.
Great video thank you1 I was happy to see my LG OLED C1 in quite good shape after 1 year. i noticed a bit bad motion handling only on the very small square on some parts only....however i have a question... Is it possible for a OLED to have degration on Blacks? Some people are saying that this is not the case since if it is black literraly the panel switch off these pixes. My tv was exposed to a very bright living room although i have always the blinds on and i am living on a cold country but still...so i was wondering if that affected somehow my black levels...i get sometimes the impression that i can distiguinse the black of the screen from the bezels(edge of the panel)
LG HU710PB RGB Laser projector , 120 inch screen . Perfect ! this is one thing projectors do extremely well . no dirt here ( vizio V-series and TCL TVs can be dirty )
This is the 60 FPS Version so those that had motion issues with the 30fps version try this and let me know how much better it does. READ MORE ABOUT THESE TESTS HERE bit.ly/3KiczlE
The 60fps version fixed the problem completely. On my external monitor, G246HL, it was extreme (the scrolling subtitle was almost impossible to read). This version runs perfectly on the monitor, Panasonic TV and MacBook Air M1.
Got my LG C4 55" yesterday. Couldn't see a single issue, not even a hint of DSE on it and the motion is flawless. I'm in awe at OLED coming from an low budget LED.
Thank you for this. You wouldn't happen to know why comments are now unavailable if casting to Chromecast ultra? Noticed this about a month ago. My 900h has some vignette some blooming, but colors and bright white look great. Motion looks perfect to me. Same as a year ago, with similar test. Hoping to skip over OLED, if this one will hang in there for 5 more years or so. Hate the remote, love the quick as... interface from this mid-range LCD. Upscales everything pretty well. Some content on Apple TV, and Netflix look awesome enough 4 now. The 2.1 is fixed. I'm good with this placeholder TV. (Fingers crossed)
Sony Bravia KD-50X85J. Did very well in everything except I noticed the very corners are noticeably a bit darker. TV was bought to use with my PC and PS5 back in early 22- so 4k 120hz. Used every day.
Tried it again on a rather old NEC Spectraview 2690. Another tough bastard. You only see the slightest end-of-fluorescent tube darkening, but way less than those dark corners on the Sony. More like a 10% brightness reduction in the blue from the edge to x=30, and then from x=30 to x=1890 it is totally stable, only to gradualy go down a bit towards x=1920. The darkening is so even, one could easily mask it in software.
Useful test. I've got an old one. LG webOS TV 55EG920V-ZA. Clean screen, runs a bit slow and has quite a bit of burn in now from console and PC use/gaming, etc. Still great for movies that don't put up solid colours, sky boxes, etc, 🤣
I've got a pretty old OLED JVC and it passed all these tests but the moving text smoothness. However, if I were to record my tv through my phone, it's hard to see what's on screen and it has a blue tint which gets worse if I zoom in closer 🤔
I ran this test on a 16 year old sony bravia KDL-26P3000 tv, the smoothness is still great and the display has no burnins at all but the colors have deteriorated a bit.
So I have a slightly different problem than what you show in this video. My TV is a 2018 LG 4K, it's nothing high end or special...but I like it. But my issue is similar to the dirty screen effect, except instead of dark spots, the spots are like a blue-ish/purple-ish hue...extremely apparent on white backgrounds. I've seen people say it's failing LED's, but I can never find a clear answer.
I bought a super cheap, $500 (AUD) 60" 4K TV from an Aldi sale a few months ago. I wasn't expecting an awful lot, and was very surprised at how well it held up in this video. There was some VERY minor DSE, and I already knew that there was a bit of motion blur present (obvious when using PS5), but apart from that it's been excellent. Thanks for the video!
Still rocking the Samsung 65 in plasma from 2009. Passed all tests with flying colors. Such a shame that technology is a thing of the past. Far superior to even today's LEDs
Mine is an LG Super UHD. after the test I noticed the bottom of the screen, perhaps about a third. is a lot brighter than the rest. The colour test showed horizontal lines on the red, blue and purple screens. Any idea what the problem is?
My Hisense 75U8K has been used frequently since it was purchased Jan2024 and its screen quality looked great during the test. Motion revealed some ghosting though. Thanks for the test!
I have a 65" TCL Roku TV 65S405 it's about 7 or 8 yrs old and I have three dirt spots but barely noticeable. One in the upper left corner, one in the lower left center, one in the right center center. But as I said barely noticeable. Is this good for an almost 8yr old tv?
I have an LG LED TV. It had smooth motion on the moving subtitles but there was double images of the text offset by a few millimeters. IDK if that can be fixed via settings or what.
Ran this test on my 11yr old Panasonic G20 plasma, motion wasn't that smooth with the text running across the bottom, but no dirty screen and very minor image retention in the bottom corner from watching the BBC News channel. But barely noticeable. Great TV that is still going strong and produces excellent image quality in both HD and PS4 use. (Update: Motion is nice and smooth when playing back the 60 FPS clip.)
Hisense U7K 55inch... noticed a bunch of dirty screen on the previous 58 TCLs that I took back... I have a bit of shadow in the middle of the screen but only subtlety on the white but is a bit more noticeable on the grey... none on the rest... When should I actually worry and should I take this back to get a new one? I have only had it for 4 days I have 11 more days to return them...
I have a Samsung 46" lcd 1080p HDTV I bought in 2009 just before I moved to this house. Only had to have a relay switch replaced in 2018 still looks good.
Hi there, I happened upon your comment and I also have a 2006 Samsung tv(I think 32”) I found on street (on unemployment) no remote but works with a little screen burn, I am having trouble selecting with side buttons in menu mode any tips brutha?✌️🤘😳🤷♂️🙏
I have an LG C7T. This 60 FPS worked a lot better for motion than the 30 FPS. I noticed more on the pink colour that there was a You Tube burn in up the top right. I ran the Pixel Refresher in settings and it fixed it. Thanks for this video. Now I can monitor that burn in to see if it returns
About 15 yo Sharp Aquos LC-37D62U here, works almost perfectly. The only thing is that the corner are very slightly darker, but it's only noticible with white screen and you realy have to look for it. Also a little bit of brighness dimming when the small square is in the corners. Otherwise I am amazed by the quality of it compared to my much newer TCL tv
the subtitle motion on this is leagues better than on the 30fps video for my old dell monitor. the moving subtitles here are smooth and great looking, while on the 30fps they are almost unreadable.
The small white box at the beginning of the test appears dirty, with greyish tints when it's moving around, and it's the same in the 30fps version of the video. It's not my screen; it's the box itself. Is this normal? Other than that, my TV passes with flying colours. Also, my TV's blacks are truly black and it's not an OLED. I was looking for a black screen test since some games are quite dark. Any suggestions?
I got dirty screen on my oled LG Flex 42" i could only see it slightly on 95% grey .its not been used much so its kinda strange but i cant see it in another colors
Wow, clear difference between the U7K and Q7. The moving text at the bottom on the U7K looked like it was struggling but was sometimes smooth. I honestly thought that was part of the test. The Q7 was able keep the text moving smooth the entire time and now I realized that that was the intent.
Vizio M50-E1, that I just replaced the LED controller, because of dse. Still a problem, so not worth more troubleshooting, for me. Looking for a good, reasonably priced replacement.
2 years old 42" LG C2 got as a monitor for my pc. Autodimming turned off since the beginning, turned on at least 15 hours/day (except when i'm on holiday), gaming + movies + yt at least 5-6 hours daily, rest of the time running ribbons screen saver. Still perfect, no issues.
My Vizio P65 looks fine in the tests except the fast moving tiny square. The tiny square seems to be flashing a lot as it moves. The larger squares don't.
Using LG 48CX as a PC monitor, all motion interpolation disabled and this 60FPS is so much smoother. After 2 years use no issues. If anything this test highlights how good LG OLED panels are. I think Gigabyte use OLED and their OLED are 50% off at the moment. (Q1 2022).
So I ran this on my new c2 OLED because I saw banding. The banding cleared up after a few days but I noticed the moving squares are very jittery. I ran this on my 4 year old QLED and it is smooth. Even though the banding cleared up on the OLED is the jittery a sign of a bad panel?
"watch this at least once a month" that's a genius way to get viewing numbers and to keep them growing.
Also don't forget to change the oil in your car every 3 months.
You gotta respect the hustle lol
Just so you are aware, if you have a stigmatism (and even when you wear glasses), you will be getting bloom on subtitles regardless of how good your TV is.
yeah i was thinking exactly that lol
An astigmatism*
Add to that, beginning stages of cataracts, lightly abraded cornea due to no tear oil production, and dirty glasses, and I’m surprised the subtitles didn’t appear like headlights in fog.
Thanks!
I have it
This video taught me two things:
1) I cannot see well enough to determine if my TV has a problem
2) I am developing cataracts.
I have the same problem I swear to God

2015 is NOT old in tv times. A good quality screen, especially Sony Bravia, must be used for 10 years for something like this to happen.
How can I test this in my Sony X90K tv
2015 is ancient as far as TVs go
That's LCDs for yeah and they can last much, much longer than that, my LG from 2011 is still kicking.
The 60FPS version is much much better for the motion subtitle test. My Odyssey G9 did surprisingly well against the test, aside from the fully vertical dimming zones. That being said, the right-most dimming zone was lit up the entire time due to the branding logo in the corner.

Can we adjust fps ? Or is that a silly question

Ist this Test useful for OLED and what should I expect to see, if the screen isn't correct.

@@Littlebrownchicken - Compression won't have any influence on frame rate, unless your computer is so slow that it can't decode the video fast enough. If you're noticing discontinuity during that part of the video, it's more likely that your network connection is just not keeping up with the video. Rewind a couple of seconds, replay it, and it should play smoothly (because by then it will be cached by our browser).
Just tested. Not an issue. Every frame has equivalent motion. It is likely your video codec being outdated, and reading the P and B frames wrong.
Compression into P and B frames (FYI you too @RFC3514 ) does have influence on framerate in extreme cases, as it messes up what to draw and when.
The video is 100% correct, but so are you, as this has nothing to do with your monitor/TV screen, and is a codec or driver issue on your end. Update video codec and drivers and you'll be golden.
Just ran this test on my brand new QN95A and it came back clear, thankfully. This is my go to test video. Thanks
Lucky you, mine is looking awful compared to the Q85R that I had !
2:19 the short shaking, when the text leaves the left side is intended? It does drive shortly back and forward before it disappears.
Just ran my new QN95A and it was really good. No DSE thank god. This is defo my go to test video. Thanks
Ive got an LG 37” TV made in May 2009, very slightly dim at the very left and right, and the grey screen had a small amount of dimming to the middle right, still extremely happy for how long its lasted and considering how many things have hit the screen
Thank you. *Second hand* Vizio D55-F2 model had its entire bottom row dark with dse, and about an eighth of the top right portion was dark with dse. The people we received it from gave it to us for free because it was just so distracting for them. We managed to correct some of the severity of the problem and have been managing, but after this video I’m just going to get and install new lights for the TV. It’s a decent QLED model and if I could upgrade I would but for now I’ll just get new lights and enjoy what I have. Thanks for the video
I have an LG 70UP7070PUE (70-inch 4K UHD). I'm closing in on 4 years of having it, and so far it's almost flawless.
The only issue: when the grey screen was shown, I noticed some very, *very* subtle vertical dimming in the middle. Had to strain my eyes to see it.
Super happy with this thing :3
My brand new ASUS ROG SWIFT OLED PG27AQDM - did perfect, will try again in 3 months. Remind me if I forget :)
TCL C825 is mine. I have it for 3 weeks now and I use it at least 5 hours per day. right now all the tests are good. The color in the end are perfect.
Haven't tested this on my TV as I'm away from home but I did test it on my 16 inch Macbook Pro (M1 pro) and the result was excellent except some negligible blooming, which is understandable since it has a mini-led display.
Just tested this on a Qned85. It passed with flying colours! Barely any blooming like a lot of these reviews say about this tv. Such a good price too I’m happy with my purchase
Just run this test with my 6.5 year old LG 65UF950V. And I was truly surprised that even I use my TV as second work display for my laptop and also for my desktop computer, there was no burn-in or anything. And 60fps motion was also, well not perfect, but relatively good. Couple of days ago I ordered LG 86QNED81. Interesting to compare and see how 86 inch screen with edge-lit tech runs this test :) Thanks for this test.
2:26 My Lg24mp400, has a blur when the test moves, what it means?
Test was perfect, 100% ZERO burn in, 5 year old 2018 Samsung Q8FN 65" QLED TV. PHENOMENAL PICTURE QUALITY TV, 100% rock solid flawless performance from day one.
I have a Sony A90J 65” OLED I brought nearly 3 years ago here in UK. I discovered from your test slight dirty screen in bottom left of my screen but just slightly. Which is impressive for a 3 year old OLED that’s been on for 10 hours every day since. I’m moving this 65” Sony to the bedroom and going for a 98” TCL c855 for the lounge. Thanks for this test
I have a 75 inch Sony X90L that I purchased almost exactly one year ago (for delivered a week after Black Friday). Blooming has never bothered me and I think people make too big of a deal out of it,along with viewing angles.
Everything about this TV is great,with one exception; it has mediocre motion handling. It's not terrible,but it's not great either,unless there's some settings that I haven't figured out yet.
All that said,it did really good with this test.
My "dirty screen effect" is literally that my screen is dirty😂 Thank you! Didn't really notice it. Cleaning it now
I have a lg 65 inch CX with ~2500 hours on it. Passed this flawlessly with exception of some very minor blooming.
its an oled........ there should be absolutely 0 blooming
Very useful video, thanks! I only got very slight burn un on the edges of my 2009 model, lcd digital Sony tv. I think its a Bravia Sony model but it dosent say. Baaarely noticable really but the test helped show what existed at all 👍
I have a Vizio 65" (model V655-H9 if anyone wants to know) that is a bit over 4 years old. That last "dirty screen" test was a total and complete failure. I've got more stripes than a zebra on this damn thing and the corners are dark enough for a mediocre ninja to hide in. Maybe it's time to look into replacing it, even though it isn't very old.
Running a Hisense 43P6. Only some small issues with dirty screen effect in the corners and the subtitles were ever so slightly blurry when moving across the screen at their fastest. Been ever so impressed with this tv and it's 5 years old. Best $600 AUD Ive spent on a tv!
Got a Hisense Vidaa 50 inch 4k UHD tv and it held up very well passed all the tests.❤
I am just subscribed to your channel,and I have an LG UHD 49" TV model no.49UM70 that I have had for 12 months now,and it ran the image tests with no screen burns or issues.
Great video thank you1 I was happy to see my LG OLED C1 in quite good shape after 1 year. i noticed a bit bad motion handling only on the very small square on some parts only....however i have a question...
Is it possible for a OLED to have degration on Blacks? Some people are saying that this is not the case since if it is black literraly the panel switch off these pixes. My tv was exposed to a very bright living room although i have always the blinds on and i am living on a cold country but still...so i was wondering if that affected somehow my black levels...i get sometimes the impression that i can distiguinse the black of the screen from the bezels(edge of the panel)
LG HU710PB RGB Laser projector , 120 inch screen .
Perfect !
this is one thing projectors do extremely well .
no dirt here
( vizio V-series and TCL TVs can be dirty )
This is the 60 FPS Version so those that had motion issues with the 30fps version try this and let me know how much better it does.

On the previous vid, my LG C9 had judder on the scrolling text, but it's much smoother on this version. No other problems.
3rd time is a charm!
@@SpuddySpud I had the same situation
The 60fps version fixed the problem completely. On my external monitor, G246HL, it was extreme (the scrolling subtitle was almost impossible to read). This version runs perfectly on the monitor, Panasonic TV and MacBook Air M1.
@@SpuddySpud same
Got my LG C4 55" yesterday. Couldn't see a single issue, not even a hint of DSE on it and the motion is flawless. I'm in awe at OLED coming from an low budget LED.
Thank you for this. You wouldn't happen to know why comments are now unavailable if casting to Chromecast ultra? Noticed this about a month ago.
My 900h has some vignette some blooming, but colors and bright white look great. Motion looks perfect to me. Same as a year ago, with similar test. Hoping to skip over OLED, if this one will hang in there for 5 more years or so. Hate the remote, love the quick as... interface from this mid-range LCD. Upscales everything pretty well. Some content on Apple TV, and Netflix look awesome enough 4 now. The 2.1 is fixed. I'm good with this placeholder TV. (Fingers crossed)
Thanks for your efforts @all things tech
Sony Bravia KD-50X85J. Did very well in everything except I noticed the very corners are noticeably a bit darker. TV was bought to use with my PC and PS5 back in early 22- so 4k 120hz. Used every day.
Tried it again on a rather old NEC Spectraview 2690. Another tough bastard. You only see the slightest end-of-fluorescent tube darkening, but way less than those dark corners on the Sony. More like a 10% brightness reduction in the blue from the edge to x=30, and then from x=30 to x=1890 it is totally stable, only to gradualy go down a bit towards x=1920. The darkening is so even, one could easily mask it in software.
Useful test. I've got an old one. LG webOS TV 55EG920V-ZA. Clean screen, runs a bit slow and has quite a bit of burn in now from console and PC use/gaming, etc. Still great for movies that don't put up solid colours, sky boxes, etc, 🤣
I've got a pretty old OLED JVC and it passed all these tests but the moving text smoothness.
However, if I were to record my tv through my phone, it's hard to see what's on screen and it has a blue tint which gets worse if I zoom in closer 🤔
Panasonic gx306 43 inch LED tv : only issue found was the dark marks on corner not very much as your example but it is there
I ran this test on a 16 year old sony bravia KDL-26P3000 tv, the smoothness is still great and the display has no burnins at all but the colors have deteriorated a bit.
So I have a slightly different problem than what you show in this video. My TV is a 2018 LG 4K, it's nothing high end or special...but I like it. But my issue is similar to the dirty screen effect, except instead of dark spots, the spots are like a blue-ish/purple-ish hue...extremely apparent on white backgrounds. I've seen people say it's failing LED's, but I can never find a clear answer.
Thanks a ton...for a second i thought of returning of TV. After I played this 60fps video I am ok now regarding that subtitles part.
I bought a super cheap, $500 (AUD) 60" 4K TV from an Aldi sale a few months ago. I wasn't expecting an awful lot, and was very surprised at how well it held up in this video. There was some VERY minor DSE, and I already knew that there was a bit of motion blur present (obvious when using PS5), but apart from that it's been excellent. Thanks for the video!
So your PS5 cost more than your TV?
@@Dataclysm Yup. Will hopefully upgrade to a good OLED panel eventually.
@@KrisEganPhotographer Likewise I've wanted a nice one like that for awhile
Still rocking the Samsung 65 in plasma from 2009. Passed all tests with flying colors. Such a shame that technology is a thing of the past. Far superior to even today's LEDs
My TV did well, its a LG CS 55 inch.
The Dolby Vision test page looks awesome too.
My 2years old philips oled shows no sign of anything, and i didn’t make it easy on it… so many times i ignored the panel refresh
Mine is an LG Super UHD. after the test I noticed the bottom of the screen, perhaps about a third. is a lot brighter than the rest. The colour test showed horizontal lines on the red, blue and purple screens. Any idea what the problem is?
My Hisense 75U8K has been used frequently since it was purchased Jan2024 and its screen quality looked great during the test. Motion revealed some ghosting though. Thanks for the test!
How's the HDR in movies and games?
19 Sony 55" A9G OLED. Passed perfectly!
I have a 65" TCL Roku TV 65S405 it's about 7 or 8 yrs old and I have three dirt spots but barely noticeable. One in the upper left corner, one in the lower left center, one in the right center center. But as I said barely noticeable. Is this good for an almost 8yr old tv?
LG 65 CX. Perfect! TV has had a lot of use
I have an LG LED TV. It had smooth motion on the moving subtitles but there was double images of the text offset by a few millimeters. IDK if that can be fixed via settings or what.
Ran this test on my 11yr old Panasonic G20 plasma, motion wasn't that smooth with the text running across the bottom, but no dirty screen and very minor image retention in the bottom corner from watching the BBC News channel. But barely noticeable. Great TV that is still going strong and produces excellent image quality in both HD and PS4 use. (Update: Motion is nice and smooth when playing back the 60 FPS clip.)
Same experience with my 2013 Panasonic Plasma, 30fps motion text looked weird but 60 was perfect
Hisense U7K 55inch... noticed a bunch of dirty screen on the previous 58 TCLs that I took back...
I have a bit of shadow in the middle of the screen but only subtlety on the white but is a bit more noticeable on the grey... none on the rest...
When should I actually worry and should I take this back to get a new one? I have only had it for 4 days I have 11 more days to return them...
Sony X900F I’ve owned since 2018, only thing I have are slightly dark corners, but thats it, no other issues, kind of surprised honestly.
the first test (white ball) is flickering hard on the side on my QNED 916PA Mini-LED with Local Dimming Low to High, this is not normal or?
I have a Samsung 46" lcd 1080p HDTV I bought in 2009 just before I moved to this house. Only had to have a relay switch replaced in 2018 still looks good.
I did this test on my old 42 inch samsun pdp and it still kicks ass. There is a reason I have held onto this old tank since buying it new in 2006.
Hi there, I happened upon your comment and I also have a 2006 Samsung tv(I think 32”) I found on street (on unemployment) no remote but works with a little screen burn, I am having trouble selecting with side buttons in menu mode any tips brutha?✌️🤘😳🤷♂️🙏
I have an LG C7T. This 60 FPS worked a lot better for motion than the 30 FPS.
I noticed more on the pink colour that there was a You Tube burn in up the top right. I ran the Pixel Refresher in settings and it fixed it.
Thanks for this video. Now I can monitor that burn in to see if it returns
About 15 yo Sharp Aquos LC-37D62U here, works almost perfectly. The only thing is that the corner are very slightly darker, but it's only noticible with white screen and you realy have to look for it. Also a little bit of brighness dimming when the small square is in the corners. Otherwise I am amazed by the quality of it compared to my much newer TCL tv
the subtitle motion on this is leagues better than on the 30fps video for my old dell monitor.
the moving subtitles here are smooth and great looking, while on the 30fps they are almost unreadable.
So these subtitles go across the screen smooth then jitter for a split second then back and forth. Tv is Samsung s90D any thoughts?
The small white box at the beginning of the test appears dirty, with greyish tints when it's moving around, and it's the same in the 30fps version of the video. It's not my screen; it's the box itself. Is this normal? Other than that, my TV passes with flying colours. Also, my TV's blacks are truly black and it's not an OLED. I was looking for a black screen test since some games are quite dark. Any suggestions?
I got dirty screen on my oled LG Flex 42" i could only see it slightly on 95% grey .its not been used much so its kinda strange but i cant see it in another colors
Wow, clear difference between the U7K and Q7. The moving text at the bottom on the U7K looked like it was struggling but was sometimes smooth. I honestly thought that was part of the test. The Q7 was able keep the text moving smooth the entire time and now I realized that that was the intent.
Vizio M50-E1, that I just replaced the LED controller, because of dse. Still a problem, so not worth more troubleshooting, for me. Looking for a good, reasonably priced replacement.
Ran it on my Samsung Tab S8!! Display is legit👍🏽
LG B6 oled from 2017: banding (4 vertical lines) and burn-in (UA-cam and the back logo)
mine failed on the subtitle part and the white big boxes. it kind has like white streaks. idk what they are called. i have samsung 55 UH 4k BU100 tv.
TCL QM851g 65 inch here and was quite flawless impressive.
2 years old 42" LG C2 got as a monitor for my pc. Autodimming turned off since the beginning, turned on at least 15 hours/day (except when i'm on holiday), gaming + movies + yt at least 5-6 hours daily, rest of the time running ribbons screen saver. Still perfect, no issues.
Thanks, it helped me! 🙂🙂
My Vizio P65 looks fine in the tests except the fast moving tiny square. The tiny square seems to be flashing a lot as it moves. The larger squares don't.
I have an old 1080p monitor from like 2010. Still working. I am honestly impressed
Using LG 48CX as a PC monitor, all motion interpolation disabled and this 60FPS is so much smoother. After 2 years use no issues. If anything this test highlights how good LG OLED panels are. I think Gigabyte use OLED and their OLED are 50% off at the moment. (Q1 2022).
Sony A80J OLED 3 years old. No Bloomning, no dirty screen and no burn in. Been playing video games everyday with uid.
I have a panisonic tv 4k ultra hdr when I do test yes I see abit but when I play the programmes or films the picture is very clear it a lcd TV
Sony XR55A80LU 55" 4K OLED came out great no issues 👍
Great tool and video. Thank you!
So I ran this on my new c2 OLED because I saw banding. The banding cleared up after a few days but I noticed the moving squares are very jittery. I ran this on my 4 year old QLED and it is smooth. Even though the banding cleared up on the OLED is the jittery a sign of a bad panel?
