But if I have an electrical storm in my area and it hits my tv while it's plugged up. Then my tv will be gone. I can't afford a another LG c1 oled. Love the tv. So I've been unplugging it when I go to bed. I haven't been putting it in stand by mode. But I do get notifications when it's time to have a pixel refresh. So I let that happen and then the tv is refreshed and ready to go.

[@90lancaster]

As I am sure plenty of people will still want to unplug it to protect it from lightning strikes, power surges and pointless energy use. It's good to get a reminder that it is there though. But I will just add that it will go through a more elaborate process after 2000 more hours of operation and you can also just tell it to do it yourself. So some might like to do it manually themselves then turn the TV off when it's done. Obviously anyone with any sense is going to unplug their Television if they go on holiday for 2 weeks too. But I guess you can always put your TV on standby wait 15 minutes and then unplug it and have the same effect.

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

@@90lancaster I never ever unplug my TV. I could go away for 3 months, and I'd leave it plugged in. Never once had an issue. What do you think leaving a new OLED plugged in on costs a month?.... $1? $2?.... Not worth even thinking about plugging and unplugging it. Especially considering it disables the pixel refresh which is the most likely thing of all to damage your expensive OLED TV.

[@90lancaster]

@@BuckMcAntlerson It refreshes ONCE and then sits there doing nothing much other that keep a little light on. As for standby power - yeah it's higher that I expected it to be which is why I was suggesting unplugging it if you leave home for an extended period. It's not going to chemically degrade if it's not plugged in for 2 weeks. I dread to think what your energy bills are like if you don't ever unplug anything.

Glad to learn this useful advice for my b8 series oled. Another reason why I have the mains hidden is to prevent the kids who couldn't care less about properly turning off the TV and simply shutting the switch. Now the kids have been reinforced with the idea to not leave the TV unattended without the red standby indicator or a parental lock would be imposed for the next viewing session. It works and certainly glad the TV does what it need to refresh the pixels.

[@vincentrobinette1507]

We used to have to do something similar with the old Plasma Screen TV's from decades ago. It was a manual operation, to turn on the screen refresh, and the screen just looked like static snow. If you looked at the pixels up close, you could indeed see a programmed pattern. It was especially problematic in the AV business, where a screen would display a time stamp, or a logo for extended periods of time. Very hard to erase the after-image.

Wow. This is a very important feature that I wasn't aware of. I have an older LG TV that has stopped working, so I'm looking at newer models. It's good to know that feature exists and that it only takes about seven minutes to complete. That should mean it's still OK to turn off the T.V. at the socket, when going away.

[@spikeygoc]

This video was recommended. Pure luck it was. Excellent info. I never knew, I am going to be buying an LG OLED for my new house. I would turn it off at the mains to stop idle power draw, as I do with nearly everything. You have a new sub.

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

Thabks for the sub 👍🙂

[@marcevans6913]

Of note, if you have Bias Lighting installed and it is plugged into the TV's USB port, this lighting will stay on when you turn your TV off and the automatic pixel refresh is active. Once it has finished the TV will completely power down and the Bias light will go off, so this is a great visual indicator for when it is doing this cycle. It would then be safe to unplug if you so desire.

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

Very good idea👍

[@DubHead69420]

That's good to know! 👍 I just wish they would use the standby light as an indicator, like it would turn green while the refresher was running, and turn back to red, when we could unplug the TV.

[@BullyG1]

I would love to have my bias lighting come on and off with my LG C1 but USB port doesn't seem to be strong enough, i.e. lights don't come on when plugged into USB port with TV powered on. I found I have to use a USB power brick from an old android tablet plugged into the wall and use a USB extender to attach the bias light to power the lights........

The automatic pixel refresher that LG Oled TVs do after being in standby usually takes no more than 10 minutes and during that time the TV consumes about 50W/H. After that, my LG 65BX is permanently consuming around 36W/H. That's why I disconnect it from the mains after at least 15 minutes in stand by.

[@mikecrandell494]

😂

[@therandiked]

Leaving TV or anything else stand by waste energy ( electricity) does not sit with our targets reduce wastage. So Oled TV makers should put an option to run these manually or reminders when TV turns on. Also I keep the TV stand by and then turn the wall switch off (similar to unplugging) before I go to sleep ( but this is done by a smart switch if I am not watching TV after 11.30pm it turns off and back on at 7am even if I am not watching brining the TV to stand by mode )

One tip for you gamers out there. When pausing a game. When I had LCD I used to leave the tv on the pause menu for 10 min, 20 min, maybe an hour... but now with OLED, make sure u put the tv in standby while the game is paused. A Habit I changed.

[@UncleManuel]

It doesn't really have to be plugged in all the time. When you switch off the TV the relais either clicks instantly or after like 5-7 minutes. In these 5-7 minutes the Pixel Refresher runs. So you just have to wait for that click and then can safely turn the power off. 😎🤟

Spot on with the answer at 2:00 minute mark. I was always wondering if it will stop you from using it or just skip that cycle if you switched it on when it started.

[@paulorobertoelias8425]

Thank you for this video. I have a reasonable amount of knowledge in this area, but I am not an engineer. My LG 65E7P is now 4 years old and as of lately it produced a permanent damage on the screen, which can be visible on both magenta and red uniformity tests. Unfortunately the LG authorized service asked me 30 000 Brazilian Reais to replace the screen, i.e. approximately 7 224 US dollars, whereas a new one, namely the 65 C1 model, costs around 10 000 reais, that is 3 times less. In addition, the LG support said to me that the new C1 has more protection against this type of damage, and I suppose I will have to bet on it when I finally replace my TV. OLED screens will normally suffer from picture retention, which is not exactly a burn in damage. However, whenever one turns the TV off the problem will disappear. I believe that in my TV there was a permanent pixel failure, but no tests were done to prove it. Finally, when the damage is permanent, not even the Pixel Refresher feature will sort it out. By the way, my TV was always in the standby mode whenever turned off. This should be a standard procedure for all appliances, since it keeps the power supply pre-charged for future use, and avoid components faults. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year. Please keep safe!

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

It is true that the newer OLED’s are far better protected against burn in compared to older models.

[@paulorobertoelias8425]

@@TheTechGiantKZbin I do hope so, and thanks for the reassurance. The LG support also said to me that the new G1 model is even more protected, but for various reasons, not only price alone mind you, I will stick to the C1 instead. At any rate, I cannot complain about my E7P. After my retirement I spent a considerable amount of time watching my movie discs and streaming, high quality broadcasting, and my E7 never let me down. Of course, 4 years is not such a long time for permanent damage, but the TV info reports more 13 thousand of power on time. I did not realize I have used this TV so much until recently!

I’m new to all this and to be honest my last Samsung Q7OT 55 for £1000 had nasty problems couldn’t display black or dark low lit scenes properly. I don’t know what it’s called and I’m not talking about blacks being dull or not deep black. I’m talking it should be a pitch black night sky. My screen is a mix of mainly blue purple some black and it’s like all messy moving ink like and of course the whole night sky on my 55inch is a messy distorted mess and on os5 games it was even worse. Res evil biohazard. Most of the game is pitch black or bear pitch black and should simply be black. I wouldn’t even mind if it was straight up grey but oh no now the screen is same mess of blue, purple, distorted like when a pitch light get turned on a say a baseball pitch and as camera focus on the bright light, surrounded by pitch black, it that nasty mess and like a circular rainbow distorted effect covering the whole screen. I don’t know if it’s a bad quality, a fault, maybe my tv was dropped. All I know is it was hideous. I’m so worried my c1 will be the same and to be honest, all I want from this bloody C1 after my Samsung nightmare, is for c1 to simply work. Just display, colours properly in daytime, night low light etc I really couldn’t give a crap about 4K hdr or peak brightness. I’ll just be over the moon if it just works. I know if it don’t, I’d rather send it back and watch a 13inch black and white tv before I go through this crap again. I genuinely don’t know if many of these TVs are faulty, flaw that manufactures don’t care about or simply, these TVs are fragile, they can travel half way round the world , be stored for years e en before you get it and after all that, it’s only expectable for many to fall over, get dropped, fall over in transit etc and then become faulty due to force of impact.

@@theexpatgunner I suppose if you are having it set that high I don't have a very efficient home but it regulates around 16c and I'll put the heating on if I feel too cold and set it for the rooms I'll be in

But what happens after 2000 hours?

[@missfabrsa]

I just bought mine, thank you for this advice,also we hv occasional power outages, I hope it doesn't affect 😫

[@bolajibaoku7683]

Gosh you are a Life Saver. i usually unplug my LG CX and my screen just died. i had to replace the screen at a huge cost . In Nigeria though. You are so experienced, Everything u say about Tvs has been true for me

[@adedayodayo2002]

Hi

[@histubeness]

Can the problem occur after unplugging just few times, or does it take several times? --I ask, because eventually there will be occasionally neighborhood power outages, which is essentially the same as unplugging. Can't do much about that.

[@Archemik99]

It's going to happen every time there's no power to the tv at all.

[@johnshawdocherty7594]

Thanks for this m8 just got my C1 good to know this stuff will tell my family also not to unplug unless needed

Good to know as all my AV gear is on a hive system and schedule to turn everything off at 11pm, i'll now ensure the C2 is plugged into the direct mains going forward. Then again i have only had the 65 C2 since yesterday, now it is properly set up, what a great tv.

I have a LG 3D 42'' tv , I have been unplugging it all the time and it's been 12 years , it's still working as good as new , not forgetting the electricity saved , specially today .

[@dentaldoc1460]

Wow so helpful. I have my oled tvs on a smart outlet with the power off when not in use in order to keep the kids off them! This may have saved my tvs! Thank you!

[@aaronsharp3858]

Exactly the same entire house automated didn't think about pixal refresh when i replaced my tv so its plugged into a smart socket like yours my automations also turn off the tv at the socket so it hardly gets too run the features im also at high risk of burn in due too plenty of static pictures from things like computer GUI and video games Gonna run off too change the code now and potentially save my tv from permanent damage

[@costiqueR]

I have a 3D LG OLED for 5 years now, and I am very pleased with the picture quality. Hope to have it for at least 5 years more...

[@brucekazakos8647]

Paul Great advice thank you. So Never buy an OLED from the display shelf,even if it`s the last one there.

[@cokesucks]

Dang. I've been flicking my power conditioner/power supply off when the TV is not in use. I figured I was protecting it during storm season. Thanks for this video.

Useful into, thanks big guy :)

[@strontiumd6789]

I have been unplugging mine at night but I’ll leave it about 10 mins after turning off the Telly to do that now so the refresh can take place. Thanks for the tip off.

It can takes up to a hour to do the pixel refresher

Just realizing that the middle of the screen looks less brighter than the sides of the screen. I been changing the different modes but the problem seems to b there. I'm not sure if this is a problem of the tv or that's the way it should be. Thank u for the help.
