19 LG OLED Tips, Tricks and Hidden Features

[@sgtoz]

Several of these are excellent. I've seen several videos and this one has way more information. Thanks.

[@karlsavage7495]

Manual pixel refresh absolutely should NOT be run on a monthly basis. Every 2000 hours is the recommendation, UNLESS you're trying to clear up some stubborn image retention.

[@ItsSamuelJones]

Yeah once a month is probably too zealous..

[@playnicegames]

@@ItsSamuelJones you shouldn’t use the manual pixel refresh at all unless you see a serious issue.

[@Episode_13]

In days please not hours?

[@Episode_13]

Days?

[@eklipz330]

@@Episode_13 You don't ever have to run this feature and it is advised that you do not because it wears away your OLED screen. LG automatically refreshes your oled screen and will run the full pixel refresh by itself after 2000 hours of use.

[@rashman9579]

Auto updates not always the best thing to do. Sometimes bad updates are released that are then patched. You don’t want to be stuck with a ad update. Always update manually once an update has been tried and tested

[@berad3574]

That had me cracking up! Set your tv to wake you up with all the terrible news 😂 Thank you, great video and very informative

[@Atlas_Redux]

Warning : I wonder how many TVs have been ruined thanks to this. NEVER EVER RUN PIXEL REFRESH MANUALLY. After around 10 pixel refreshes, the TV is dead. 20 is absolute max. That's why the damn thing has 30000 hours average lifespan, because pixel refresh burns your LEDs so it gets evenly used up every 2000 hours. What a horrible, HORRIBLE suggestion from someone who has no idea what he is talking about.

Actually, the "secret" menu was very helpful! Mine is attached to the computer and when it goes to sleep the LG screen shows images. Thanks to this video I was able to disable it and have it go black with no signal. Much appreciated!

[@Atlas_Redux]

No, he does one huge mistake. You should never, and I mean NEVER, touch manual pixel refresh. It severely degrades your image quality and is for burning out the LEDs evenly after each 2000 hours.

[@adamm6371]

Could you make a video about longevity and reliability of OLEDs in comparison with QLEDs ? Which TV will last longer without any problems with dead pixels, losing colours over time etc..

[@GenghisJan]

Don't need a video about that, the answer is pretty simple: The QLED will last you longer in 99.9% of cases (except if there's a manufacturing defect or anything...) The reason being, they don't degrade over time. Technically they can last over 10 years unchanged... Organic pixels degrade by design, although with all the new protective settings and newer OLED tech a lot slower than they used to. So an OLED may as well last you quite a couple of years *almost* unchanged, depending on your usage habits. A lot of static images on certain sections of the screen (news channels etc.) for hours on end are "deadly" to an OLED, the way I like to say it, an OLED is designed to watch movies, cinematic style, especially in a dark room image quality will blow you away - LCD is fine for watching mostly TV/sports. I'd still almost always go with the OLED, especially if you're watching mostly at night the perfect blacks, infinite contrast and popping colours are just a blast!

[@ItsSamuelJones]

Funnily putting burn in to one side. LED TV’s often have issues after 5 or so years. Dead pixels, dark spots where the backlight goes, they are also heavier and are easier to damage when moving. Other than burn in, OLEDs are remarkably damage resistant

[@GenghisJan]

@@ItsSamuelJones okay, didn't know about that (apparent) degrade in quality, cuz I still own LCD TVs that must be 15 years old by now and still run fine... Maybe they're more prone to issues now with all the Dimming zone stuff and being pushed to the max to compete with OLEDs :D

[@Atlas_Redux]

@@GenghisJan Just don't touch pixel refresh outside of the automatic every 2000 hours and you'll be fine. NEVER EVER DO IT MANUALLY, this video is misinforming as hell. It's the pixel refreshes that mostly degrades the image, but needed to even out usage.

[@cursedmonkey1033]

The tip about arranging order of apps is no longer correct. You must go to the far right in the apps listing, click on Edit App List, then you can move individual apps.

[@GenghisJan]

Yup, can agree with previous comments. Tip 4 is actually counterproductive, DON'T run pixel refresh manually, pretty much, ever. There's almost no scenario where it makes sense and it wears off the organic pixels faster than necessary. Tip 5 also heavily debatable. My advice: Disconnect your TV from the web altogether and use a streaming stick etc. And DISABLE auto update, cuz if you're happy with your TV and image quality, why risk breaking something/some settings with an auto update? Always do your research, what an update might add/whether you even need it and otherwise be happy with your TV as it is. Especially Samsung is known to actively degrade (!!!) image quality after a few years, so people buy their new sets.

[@ryans413]

Just too note the tv will run the pixel refresh every 4 hours of use. After 2000 hours of use the tv will force you to do a pixel refresh we’re the tv can not be used for a good 30 minutes. Do not go around doing the refresh manually it’s very hard on the panel and should only be ran if you see something wrong with the screen. Okay I would also recommend keeping pixel shift on this will make the tv slightly move the pixels so there not stationary this helps with not getting a stuck on or dead pixel. And I’d also turn on logo dimming keep it on low but when the tv detects a logo it’s will dim the logo part to prevent burn in.

[@Atlas_Redux]

Wrong. The 4 hour is just an auto shutdown that you can manually change the time of. When the TV goes off, it then takes 5 minutes to make sure all pixels are complete out of charge. It does this every time, no matter how long. The 2000 hours is a LED burner to even out usage of the pixels and SHOULD NEVER EVER BE RUN manually, only every 2000 hours, as after 10 runs the TV is nearly dead. Stop spreading misinformation, dumbass.

[@ryans413]

@@Atlas_Redux I’m not every 4 hours of use once the tv is on the set dose a refresh after you power the set off. The 2000 hour refresh is done once it hits 2000 hours and the tv forces you too do it the set will shut off and do it’s thing. That’s the one you can do manually at anytime if you like in the settings. But the tv will force you anyways once it hits 2000 hours. You can check how many hours the set has in the settings. And by the way what this dose is energize the panel with high voltage to help clear up any uniformity like imagine retention that’s not burn in but slight ghosting of other images. This should not be run all the time it weakens the panel. Everything I’ve said is is proper knowledge look it up. That’s how the set works and that’s what it dose.
