I love my 65” LG CX. I now have over 15,000 hours on it and no burn in. I’m retired and keep it on news networks a lot. The secret that I keep the tv from getting burn in is. - Crop out the news banner with vertical zoom or 4 way zoom settings. When I watch movies and sports I go back to original or 16.9 setting on my LG.
All these settings are in LGs Picture - Aspect Ratio Settings. I just don’t know why this isn’t brought up more. LG has these settings and I don’t know about the others.
Great idea to get those static elements off the screen
Got my C1 2 years ago,it has 11,482 hrs with no burn in.i play it with my series x,and also use it with my fire TV cube.All dimming features on service mode were turned off since the first week of usage.this OLED is simply a beast for it's quality
same here. tpc and gsr off. almost 9k hours and it looks good
I got almost 2 years lg c1 48" with WBC panel. More than 6000hours as pc monitor(i used 0% pixel brightness when i was on desktop) and zero burn in. But i found tons of dead pixels on right side of panel. I RMA TV and they give me new panel. This time its wbe/evo panel(pink tint when watching full screen white color from angle) so i am happy. I think most lg tvs will suffer from dead pixels than burn in.
I saw severe burn in on a 65-inch S90C a few weeks ago. Customer was using it as a PC monitor. It had the outline of their PC background (a beach scene) imprinted across the entire screen. Worst I've ever seen. I had conscience conflict -- my internal devil chuckled (you should know better), and my TV enthusiast angel cried (i thought we were past this).
First gen panel most likely. 2nd gen improved
Well on rtings longevity test S95C is looking good after 10 months LG G3 after 6 months has one of worst screen burn I have seen and if you live in UK go to your nearest Currys store they have digital ticketing on TVs every single WOLED especially Sonys has got the worse screen burn not Samsung.
That’s crazy they must’ve not been using a screensaver or ever changed their background I’ll be checking the S95B soon I’m also using this as a monitor. I’ll keep you updated on my findings.
We miss you and your reviews buddy
This is because QD tech gets much brighter then standard OLED, also the lack of a white sub pixel also plays part in that. And QD tech is new that’s why I’m staying away from it I’ll stick with LG the king of OLED. And there the most reliable due to them doing this for many more years then Samsung. Not only is Samsung OS trash the quality control is ass. Most of these big UA-camrs just like a unnatural image that’s why they love this but if you crank up the color on the C3 and G3 you can get that same oversaturated image, which is also not true to the way movie makers meant for you to watch movies. But to each their own LG is still the best and still the number 1 OLED makers. Also don’t forget Samsung updates that legit nurf the tv brightness so that you have to run and buy there next flagship tv 😂.
I have an LG CX with over 16k hours on it. Zero burn-in. It's been a beast.
I still have my doubts with OLED, I put it in the simplest way possible, pay more money and keep thinking about burn in and short life span of pixels or pay less for a nice LED and have a peace of mind? I chose the peace of mind and bought the X90l and I am really happy with it.
Since you've never had an oled you can't miss it. :)
My LG 65C9 is 5 years old and got 12623 hours on it. Pro calibrated to 100 nits and I game on it,no burn in at all.
is not about the amount of time using it, is how often you put static content on it, and most games these days use dynamic ui
I have the S95B owned for 1yr 2m "4451hrs" used for lots of gaming but more than I would like to admit.... lots of bright colored kids youtube music lol which typically have a saturated color water mark in one of the corners on the screen for the hours it's on & kids don't always remember to turn off the TV if they are done or just leave it on a static screen forever. I have always had max peak brightness, max backlight & all "screen protection" features off as well as I disabled the "ASBL" in the SM So far it has endured all the abuse and just keeps trucking no burn in what's so ever.
take a test . qd oled gen 1 are more prone to burn in than woleds
@PcGamingForFun take a test? Like color slides? If that is what you mean than I already have. I am aware gen 1 QD-OLED's are more susceptible to burn in I wasn't saying it was better or worse than the C1. Was just commenting on my current experience with an OLED TV. I also have an S95C now as well for my main gaming TV.
@@ThatGuy-Noob_69 s95c is a solid choice. the only oled that didn't have burn in after 10 months of torture in rtings tests
@@whiskizyo2067 lol
Thanks kg. I decided to buy the qn95c after all your videos I watched
I've had my S95B for a little over a year and a half, it's my daily driver. Lots of gaming, movies and regular TV viewing. Sadly Apex Legends has left it's mark with the health bar on the bottom left of the screen. It's faint and not noticeable during most content but I first seen it when I kid was playing a game with a bright background, did a burn-in test n it's there. Sucks, the picture is phenomenal and 2nd to none when it comes to gaming. Don't think I'll ever be able to go back to an edge lit panel, just sucks that the price for OLED is a shorter lifespan if you're playing games with static images. My next TV will be an OLED despite knowing this.. lol hopefully they find a way to curb burn-in all together in the future
Wow
5000 plus in three years, I have nearly 6.5k on my C2 and I only had it 16 months lol. Do a lot of PC,PS5 as well, also internet stuff, they stand up well these days. S95B launch edition, 3 months, static image burn in, they wouldn't honour the warranty. Scamsung lol. Thanks for this KG, hopefully put people's mind at ease a bit.
Thanks KG! I never had burn in with my LG E6, LG G3, and Sony a90j. I owned the E6 for 5 yrs before I sold it and no burn in. I’m not a gamer and vary my content. It’s nice to hear from you that you’re not worried about it.
Whoa not having it on the E6 is an achievement I've seen a lot of burn in on those in the past.
I own a S95B 65 inch since September 2022 ! I watch TV, apps, play PS5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch ! For more than 4000 hours !!! And everything is just fine 😇🙏
No burn in or something else… I hope it’s going to stay like this for the next years ! 🤞 But I’m scared about blue pixels life… I read that they have just 8000 hours longevity life, this is so short… if that’s real my S95B is already at 50% of his life… 3 years for a TV that costs me almost 3000€ here in France is really bad and short… 😭
2022 lg 65" cs. I have put just over 5000 hours in just 13 months with heavy gaming usage some days 16 hours straight gaming. I just ran a burn in test on my oled and I must be very lucky there is not one bit of burn in or dead pixels, I never run more then 85% brightness i feel like that has helped it from any damages. The best part though is I actually got it for free because the shop sent me 2 by mistake😅 thanks JB HI-FI.❤
14,574 hours on my second panel on my LG oled 65B7P, and I have horrible burn in from warching CNBC. LG replaced the first panel under warranty, but I had to pay for labor. Debatimg on replacing her with a Sony A95L, X95L, LG G4, or seeing what Sony 2024 has to offer. I also own an LG OLED 77"cx with zero burn in, but I don't watch CNBC on that TV at all. I play a lot of PS5 and watch Netflix on my 65B7P, too.
I’ll be putting a G4 to the test this year.(My 1st OLED). I figure it will be powered on between 14 to 16 hours per day. This will be across a large variety of video games, movie streaming, cable and UA-cam.
365 x 15 = 5475 hrs per year.
My Q9FN has been pulling this duty since the end of 2018 and is still going strong. I really hope this TV will do the same but I have my doubts as my current TV is likely well over 20,000 hours.
Got burn in on my C1 from BF2042. It's light, so its not too bad and can only really see it on blue.
Next time I'll go mini or micro LED. 🤔
Edit:
What got burned is the primary weapon box and health bar. Wish there was a way to eliminate that from the hud or dim it.
Try running a pixel refresh yet?
@@TechWithKG
I did and it didn't do anything.
How many hours do have in BF2042? Like how many hours a day ?
If i were forced to watch CNN 15+ hours a day for a year, I'd kill myself just like these TVs do.
I was debating between an OLED and a Neo QLED for my living room and ended up buying the QN85A, mostly because of burn-in worries. After some time, it develop terrible DSE. A big slightly darker vertical stripe occupying the entire third quarter of the screen from left to right. Very visible on bright solid colors and distracting while watching soccer. A lot of LCDs from RTINGS' burn-in test are in terrible shape after the stress test too. Moral of the story is no screen is safe at all and avoiding the best tech available because of these fears is dumb.
Oh well, that's the risk you take with OLED TVs. I try to protect my TVs as much as possible from burn-in but I am aware that it can happen along with image retention.😊
i have c1 wbc and by just using it for 7 month gaming like 2 hours a day. msi afterburner stats are burned in 😤 on red sub pixel only i take the blame as i didn't change the stats color to black right from the start. I've come to terms with oleds if you master the art of protecting it it's just going to dim over time nothing more. the motion handling is the only thing that keeps me with oled . can't stand any motion weirdness or blur or ghosting on leds. if anyone know a led tv that don't do that i appreciated it if you mentioned it. right now the only oled that withstands the rtings torture test is s95c ! has no burn in after 10 months of stress testing!!!
That's not normal, 2 hours a day for 7 months is only 424 hours... These panels are way more durable than that, some people have 1-2k hours on a single game and not even the HUD elements are burned in, are you sure your TV is doing the pixel cleanings after 4 cumulative hours? I've heard of TV's bugging out and not triggering them...
@@Tectosaurus Ya I've got A LOT of time in Halo and none of my hud elements are burned in..
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.
Thanks for sharing this!
I have got an LG 48C1 with more than 10000 hours, i use it as a monitor for work also for gaming and moves. Unfortunately i have got some burn in mainly at the bottom of the screen because of the task bar thats a strong one and also have several other spots with slightly visible. But honestly i am not able to see it even if i am concentrating intensely on it while i am gaming or watching films I can only see it when i make an oled test.
My C9 is used for PC, PlayStation 4 pro & 5, and TV
I played the division 2 for 8 hours continuously for months
up to date accumulated hours 7050 I have several died pixels and several died subpixels all of them luckily on the edge of the panel
All good I will keep using it even after I upgrade to G4 this year God willing, inshallah
My C1 has burn due to Genshin Impact😪
Wow I was going to buy one OLED monitor to play genchin
When I first saw the title I got a little worried because I am having my 77" a80l delivered tomorrow(there was a 2 week delay). I had a 55" lg oled when they first came out and I did get burn-in. I had several logo's(espn, discovery, fox sports, etc) so I stayed away for a long time. But now the tech is so much better. Do you by any chance have a video for a80l settings? Thanks for all your work.
another reviewer showed that there is a lot of dead pixels. can you look for that? and what size tv is that. tht is also very important. 55+ much tougher to burn out and u will use that at less brghtness
8500 hours on my 48" c1. Looks brand new
Can I buy LG G4 55, without worrying about burn in. so much praise for G4.
No burn in here.
Thanks
I would like to see any Samsung burn-in
Checkout rting S95C and G3 accelerated longevity test. You will get your results and if you’re in the UK go to currys store. With digital ticketing on their screens Samsung is only one in most store without any screen burn.
Why?
@@trewright1482 I am curious to see how the qd-oleds are holding up. Not really a fan of Samsung however I expect others are going to be using those panels in the near future
@@A_Burly_Gnoll QD OLED seems to be more prone to burn in. It's def not "less prone to burn in than LG OLED" as they originally claimed Especially when viewing large white windows, like computer work. It has to use all 3 subpixels to make white, so it's hard on the display. RTINGS had issues with their QD OLEDS within the first year.
I have the 2nd gen LG OLED 4K and it still looks like it did in year one.
It has any kind of dead pixel
I have the c1 and have 7367 hours on but alot of the time I have the TV playing rain sounds with the screen turned off in the oled care settings when I sleep does the TV on but screen being off do anything to the screen definitely could be a dumb question
But when I do burn it test I don't see anything
Very nice kg❤
What ps5 games you play?
I got over 10k hrs on my C1 and not even a little burn in. My screen looks just as new as the day I bought it. I do have slight vertical banding that I only notice on a gray scale, however it’s not noticeable when using the tv.
