Hi I only did this once, it could affect the TV?
Hey Tech Giant. Can you answer this tech question. At this video mark 2:24 your OLED has a white line flashing at the lower third of the screen periodically. I have the same issue happening with my PC connected. What is that? HDMI signal issue due to lower quality HDMI cable???
“Screen move” often hides parts of my pc taskbar - is it so bad to disable it?
@The Tech Giant Hi, I have got one year old lg oled c2 and a few times noticed pop up message : The pixel cleaning is required to watch videos on a clear screen. Do you want start now or turn off tv with the remote control to execute later. Yes, no. I alway say yes, because my tv is on about 15 hours a day. This means I made manual pixel refreshing? Please help!
My LG OLED makes irritating noises and I can't use the "smart" features because it requires that I give up my personal data to a third party data broker. These are things that will cause me to avoid LG products in the future.
I used it on the very first day i received the Tv, to know what is it and how it works, damn i didn't' know, thanks Paul, you are a life saver mate.
As an Oled babysitter, I had to subscribe to this channel to get over this TV before I develop BP problem.
Seeeee!! I would have been one of those people running this all the time thinking it making my OLED fresh. But ur anology of washing the car makes a ton of sense. Thank you for this. Glad I subscribed.
Just did the refresher for the first time in 2 years because youtube stuff is burned into my panel. I was amazed that it completely fixed it so i went to look up how it worked, found your video luckily to inform me not to overuse it.
Did the panel become clean as newv
does it make panel darker?
Just got my C1 yesterday and watched your videos about the C1. Very helpful man thank you for this.
As a complete new Oled owner, I've found you videos informative and very useful. Still got more to watch, Many thanks.
Thanks for taking time out to post such a lovely comment.
Hope you enjoy the new TV 🙂
Bro you're more informative then company. Thank you man
@The Tech Giant
I really love watching your reviews, very informative. I was hesitant about buying an OLED model, but after watching some of your reviews and bought the C1 65". Damn it is really amazing. I am really happy that I did not select the samsung QN85A over C1.
Concerning the burn-in, to my understanding LG designed he pixel refresher to run automatically after 4 hours of accumulative usage.
Great to hear you enjoy the content and it also helped you find a TV that you are happy with.
And yes you are correct about the pixel refresher
Subscribed and 👍 liked. Wish i saw your video earlier. I owned lg C1 since March if 2022. As we speak I am doing manual refresh now. Thats my 2nd one during this year. I havent seen any issues. But now since I know better i wont do it again. Thank you very much for a great video.
Mrs TTG now has her own channel!
ruclips.net/channel/UCtorkWo8aizRRMMWRjer26w
She will be doing her own thing with tech and will be starting off doing a few video covering her new hobby of building large Lego kits,starting with the new Home Alone House.
So be great if you guys could support her and subscribe to her 🙂
God bless her! I hope she does well.
You should get onto Linus since he has an OLED tv and I just watched his video on his the other day .

I have the 2022. LG OLED G2 77 inch. The TV popped up with a message to do the pixel cleaning for the first time since the TV is around 6 months old. I use mine around 3 to 4 hours a day maximum. I performed the pixel cleaning and it took 8 to 10 minutes and the Tv came back on. I’ll be sure to do this on a rare basis. This was a good video
After doing it my c2 display became way to dim
@@caringiscuring7011Co Ty piszesz .Jak to możliwe??
Thanks for this information. I was doing manual refresher once every 2 months
Thanks for this video Paul I just got a 48” LG C1 and this will now hopefully preserve my panel for a bit longer
Does your 48C1 still perform as expected ? Looking to buy it myself towards november-december.
@@JudgeFudge57 best tv I’ve had, especially for gaming purposes, 4K, 120fps, Dolby vision, still a fantastic tv and brings my Xbox series X to a new level
@@jamieburstow6236 Great to hear, mine will be use for the PS5, Series S and movies and tv shows only. I wouldn't expect it to run more than 15 - 20 hours a week so I think it could have a pretty satisfying lifespan for an oled.
Good information. I always wondered
If I was doing it too often. Thanks
Just got my LG C1 48 inch tv today, thanks for this very useful tip. Greetings from Holland....
Thank you for the heads up just got my c1 and i was curious whenever i should run this :)
I uncheck the care recommendations and the adjust logo brightness to higher, btw thank you good info
Excellent video and high importance of why pixel cleaning should be done when only required as programmed by the panel.
Cheers Paul mate,thanks for all the videos you bring for us,very much appreciated.
Always a pleasure passing in such information to you guys 🙂
Thank you Paul I went ahead and subscribed and liked the video. The information you provided was descriptive and your doing a good job! I recently bought a 48 lg c1 and my god is it gorgeous!!
Thanks you very much for the like and sub.
Enjoy the new TV 🙂
I agree...I just received my 48" C1 and hooked it up to my gaming PC, PS5, and Switch dock...and I love it!!!
Both my daughters thought I was nuts to go with such a large screen however now that they've seen it hooked up and in use...they agree it is not overkill.
btw - I use a very large harvest table as my desk so I have the space for a 48" monitor/TV.
Just picked up an OLED T.V.. the Instruction book was rubbish. I've been scouring Y.T. to figure it out. thanks for this video, one more piece of the puzzle learned.
Thank you for the informative videos...as this information is very helpful.
I just got a 48" C1 that I am using as a PC monitor with my gaming PC.
I've also hooked up my PS5 and Switch dock to the C1 as well...
and I love it!!!
Going from a LED to an OLED is like going back to my Samsung plasma, but in 4K.
My daughter uses our 10 yr old 65" 1080p Samsung plasma for her PS5 (previously PS4), and we still have had no burn in issues despite thousands of hours of gaming.
Same here! I am using the OLED as PC monitor too and what should I say... It is absolutely overwhelming playing Cyberpunk or watching movies!!!!
Great job, Thanks for your intel. OLED it was confusing, and it’s not the mistake of the factory, you just need to follow the instructions to use it properly.
Very good advice. Thanks Paul
Once again thanks for the great tip.. absolute legend. cheers Paul
This was so important info. Thank you!
Once again.Thanks Paul for your helpful advice. Glad that i have watched this Video.
You should be paid by LG. Just bought an OLED from them after being in a long doubt because I have read about burn in problems. But this video and you other about automatically and other user reviews give me the confidence to buy this.
Great content mate.Thank you for confirming that it takes 1 hour to complete I was wondering after 15mins as to why my LG tv wasn't coming back on.
No problem 👍
Just bought the A1 65” and am very happy with it EXCEPT… the so-called “manual” is just awful. It took hours and hours of hunting on the net to find the info I needed. Then I found you! Your work is greatly appreciated…. And PLEASE tell LG to get on the ball with their manuals.
going to buy A1 55 soon.
any issues with gaming if you play ps5?
Manual for a TV 👀 really?
Hi Paul, another great video greatly appreciated
Thank you. glad I saw this video on my recommended. I just setup my LG C1 48 today!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for this video, I have a relatively new LG G1 and was about to do a manual cleaning,
Again many thanks,
It's a pleasure mate. Always happy to help 🙂
Had a grey mark across the screen in a blob and used the Pixel Cleaning and it did the job, cheers 👍🏻
Wow this is actually really helpful, I just bought an lg oled and was thinking that we had to run this feature regularly, thankfully this video came in at the right time.
Great to know my advice is helping people such as yourself
@@TheTechGiantRUclips could manual pixel refresher mode reduce the brightness and picture quality of the OLED panel?
@@TheTechGiantRUclips Pardon me pls. So should everyone leave the option to run pixel cleaning while tv is off? Doesn’t that affect lifespan too? Is there a way to completely turn pixel cleaning feature off?
@Arondev sorry if you dont get my question. The video says pixel cleaning happens when tv is off in default. Doesn’t that affect the tv lifespan too? ( As video says pixel cleaning will shorten lifespan of the tv )
@Arondev okay nerd
Very informative pal. Thank you.
Very good information Paul!… thank you!! 📺
👍🙂
Thanks so much I just bought the lg c1 65” so glad I watched this first
No worries mate.
Hope you are enjoying the new TV.
Priceless Knowledge. Thank you!
My pleasure 🙂
I'm so glad I ran into this video. I bought an LG OLED a week ago and I've already run this "pixel cleaner" at least 5 times because of being paranoid.
5 times? than means your tv already worked 3-4 years.
@@darkslaerdark I think you're wrong
Thanks mate, very useful information, greetings from Australia.
I think you saved my lifespan cause I was about to run that thing a lot. Thanks
Sony Bravia OLED does automatically once a year no issues.
That is quite helpful tip, thanks bud 👍🏻
Thank you for this info. Had no idea.
My tv had vertical lines right out of the box. Ran the pixle refresher and it fixed it. Saved me from shipping it back.
You just saved my tv man , thank you.
That tee shirt.....
I'd definitely wear it.
Appreciate the info mate.
Thanks for the heads up bro!
Keep up the lg cx support!
Thank you for the LG knowledge ahah I was wondering about that. But this is good to know I was literally about todo it again for the second time this year ahah

Thanks for the tip I am just about to buy lg oled
Many thanks, I didn't know this until today.
Thankyou fir bringing this up good information to know
I’ve had my LG CX OLED since it came out in 2020 I believe it was and use it heavily for Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and watching television and still haven’t had the 2000 hour reminder to run the manual pixel refresh. If I do get it soon after 3 years and I run it and get another 3 years or more of constant use out of it then that’s pretty good going. Likelihood is that I’d potentially be looking to upgrade around then or slightly before if there are any significant improvements or additional features added to newer OLED televisions that the consoles could take advantage of for gaming
I Just liked the video and subscribed!! Awesome videos…Thank you for the heads up on my LG G1.

Thank you mate
*Good Job, Giant Tech* 👍👍
Have an older LG65C6P with severe image retention. LG Tech told me t run the manual pixel refresher 5 times. Problems with the panel and pixel retention became much worse after running it the 5 times.
Important info. Thanks.
Simply brilliant! Thanks A LOT!
You're very welcome!
Very helpful for me and my oled customers
Great to hear!
@@TheTechGiantRUclips :), ive a little question will you be doing a 42 "oled review and how does it work as a computer monitor?
Helpful video thanks and I have subscribed and thumps up keep up the good work 👏
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks Paul
that was well explained, thanks!
Enjoy watching your videos I'm planning on getting a 65INCH LG OLED early next year £1500 budget hopefully prices come down, as I've just spent £3100 on a new PC and currently still using a2010 Panasonic viera 50inch plasma 60hz lol been using it a a complete pc monitor since after 2011 stopped using the Benq 24inch monitor.My old plasma looks great no burn in, can't wait to try an OLED 65inch 120hz
For many Plasma owners,an OLED is the natural progression
Great advice Paul! P.s…lovin the T shirt 👏
thank you for the explanations
You are welcome!
Mann I just bought a 65 inch C1 and did this the very first day 🤦🏻♂️ I’m VERY thankful you posted this cause I would have definitely made this a regular thing I do thinking I’m helping rather than hindering it’s long term performance. A+ 👏 THANK YOU!
yeah, dont need to use it if you dont watch just one channel.
I have been using LG C9 as a computer monitor all through C19 home office since 2019 :P
And no burn in yet. I have activated "hide task bar" should be noted.
I got same one and pixels come up blue. What should I do to fix ?
I did the same 😅
Wait, why would you do it on the first day 🤦♂️
@@ThatPixelGuy Why not do it?
For someone who hasn't done extensive searching online about this topic, the way it's worded in the TV is that you are recommended to run it regularly, which implies every few days.
I’ve ran this a few times this year. I was told in the past that pixel refresher has no impact on the panel. Interesting info here. Thanks.
Technically the TV does it everytime you turn it off anyway.
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree Not everytime but yeah it does many times after watching the TV for a longer period. . .
@@BlackBullPistol Yeah true.. I had to run the oled refresh manually the same day I got my t.v because it had 2 very noticeable vertical banding lines on the left of the screen. I seriously had no hope that it would help but I ran it before I went to work came home and it was completely gone. I couldn't believe it... the panel is completely clean now so I really lucked out!
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree Nice that it solved your problem cuzz it is supposed to fix issues like this that's why it was made in the first place :-)
I wish that these terms were standardized for Oled tech itself, my AW3423DW has both pixel refresh and panel refresh, pixel refresh is different for the monitor than is panel refresh, whereas I look at the LG menu you show and pixel refresh seems to be the same as panel refresh.
I'm just thinking about removing icons from my desktop and just using file explorer, I already have my desktop background as true black and downloaded a nifty utility to change the task bar and window panels to true black, so, that should help preserve the panel life already. Hell, I hardly use icons on my desktop as is, so, it's not like I'll miss anything.
I ran it when I first got my CX but not since I have had no ir and do watch a lot of Freeview channels some with logos.
OLED owners should unlearn the old habit of keeping the TV running all the day with no one watching anything in particular.
Even non oled owners, it saves them alot of power.
@@i_invented_swag852 True. Yet, in OLEDs, we waste power AND ALSO spoil the TV faster.
I mostly listen only to the audio. Then why keep the TV screen ON always? I have a BT transmitter-receiver and a BT speaker. I connect the device to the Set Top Box and carry around the speaker. When I sit before the TV, only then I switch on the TV screen. This is more convenient that using the TV's built-in BT connection.
Before I forget - FOLLOWING YOUR ADVICE, I POWER ON THE MAINS IN THE MORNING AND KEEP IT THAT WAY TILL BED TIME.
@@skbachoti you can also keep the TV on with the screen off. When I listen to podcasts on RUclips and I don't care about the video, I just say "turn of the screen" to the LG assistant and it turns of the screen without turning of the TV.
I just bought a $1,000 Oled gaming monitor and I'm super paranoid about burn in lol
Thank you!
Las Vegas here. Thank you for that info. I love your videos as always. I haven’t bought an OLED just yet. I’m still enjoying my Sony 55” XH90, but I’m considering purchasing an OLED next year if I decide to move and get a bigger living room for a 65” OLED and put the Sony LED in my bedroom😅 My next tv will be gear towards movies and the next Gen gaming systems. Sony A90J look like the best tv for this year. I’m going to see who takes the top spot next year 😁
Thanks mate.
great advice!
Thank you. Thinking of buying the C1 65 inch.
I should be testing out the C1 any day !
@@TheTechGiantRUclips spoke with a store seller and told me to buy a Qned samsung because of the burn in on oleds. Have a baby and will be looking at the tv for hours on end when I look at other children and their tv usage. Can you advice if its a good buy to buy the C1 65 inch? I would hope a tv on this price level can be used for five +years, but beautiful things often need expensive service.
THANK YOU IT JUST POPPED UP ON MY C1
Thanks for the info Paul that was good to know. Just regarding your subs hopefully it won’t take to long to get to 100k I’m subscribed to a channel called spare change this guys been on the go for years puts in an incredible amount of work and only just has more subs than you, I’ll guarantee you’ll get to 100k before he does
Thanks tech giant! 😊
Gonna leave this comment here because I think it answers a lot of the questions in the comments...
There are 2 types of pixel refresh, which LG does not explain in their menu (and they don't provide a manual). Every time you turn your TV off with the remote and leave it in standby, if 4 hours of use have passed since the last refresh, it automatically does a soft refresh which takes a few minutes. The option in the menu is for a hard refresh which should be done manually after every 2000 hours of use and takes 10 to 60 minutes to run. But it doesn't explain that in the menu, it says to run it "regularly" which most people would translate as "often".
It gets worse though. I turn my TV off with the button, not the remote, because I'm using the TV as a monitor for my PC, and then I power it off at the mains. So the auto refresh isn't running and every few days I got a pop-up asking me to allow the refresh to run now (which I skip because I want to use my computer) or to run it manually from the menu. So I've ran it from the menu about 5 times since buying the TV on Black Friday. There are no warnings that this is bad. Every few days, it is literally telling me to run the refresh from the menu and in there it says to run it regularly.
LG need a good beating for this.
Basically: turn your TV off with the remote and leave it on standby and the TV will automatically take care of the pixel refresh itself. Avoid using the menu option unless you notice a problem with the screen or if you believe you've used the TV for over 2000 hours since the last manual refresh.
You won't destroy your TV by running it from the menu a few times. I've done it 5 times over a few months and my screen is still perfect. But I'm going to stop doing the manual refresh now and just let the auto refresh run when the TV is in standby.
Hi the loving the channel and my new LG C1 tv. A quick question, after following your tips and tricks video I checked battery power in remote and the iled panel all ok/enough...but when I checked RF/HDMI cable it said NG. picture seems fine and they are new fast speed cables. Any idea what coukd cause that. I don't have an rf antenna as all through SKY Q. Any advise? Thanks again!
thank you
I just bought a Lg c3 2 days ago..last night I ran pixel refresh thinking it’s something I should do… wooops. Now I’m scared I’ve wrecked it
Great video. However, it would have been nice if you went into more detail explaining what exactly pixel refresher does and how it correlates to shortening the life of your display. Also, how does it compare to those YT videos you run for 10+ hours that claim to fix burn in? Anyway, I just ran mine on my LG C3 42" I've had for about 6 months after i noticed burn-in from a video game that has some static images (high brightess white text). Thankfully it fixed the burn-in and looks good as new. I'll definitely be more careful with static images in games and hiding UI elements. Glad the pixel refresher did work and only took about 10 minutes to do so.
great info
Glad you think so!
Magic, thank you!:)
Good info. Thank you. You'd think LG would put a warning on the TV screen.
I agree they should
@@TheTechGiantRUclips Hey I have question as well. I just picked up the LG C1 77in a few weeks ago. Great TV! However for the longest time when playing Warzone on PS5 or Cold War I could never get the TV to output at 4K 120hz. It would do 4K 120 @ 1080p. Have the latest updates on TV, PS5, and both games. PS5 is set to performance preferred. 120hz turned on via console.
I’ll add I’m also using the 2.1 HDMI that came with the PS5. Finally today I thought I’d turn off HDCP. Whenever I turned that off on the PS5 I can confirm both warzone and cold war now output at 4K 120fps. The only issue is RUclips and other apps won’t launch because I had to turn that off. Have you ran into this?
Thank you sir for the valuable information.
Definitely an essential bit of viewing for an OLED owner, however all Manufacturers should put a warning and multiple prompts so owners know it’s not something that can be done constantly with no consequence.
I totally agree with you on this. I didn't see any warning message about frequency of pixel cleaning. I was glad to see this video, now I know.
What's up dude😎and thanks for this Huge warning in this helpful video 😄👍Watch out OLED owners🤣
I am currently in search of a new tv. Not really a tech or even more a TV guy . My wife loved how these oled looked in a shop.After a 1min search i found about the burn in danger.
Tbh this is absolutely outrageous and shows the standars we currently have.
20 years ago that kind of product would be canceled . Spending 1k or more for something that almost certainly will have a damaged screen (cause what is actually is)
is outrageous. When we transitioned to led and tfts etc we would get a burned pixel or hear about them. Me personally i only got a single burned pixed on a 2002 pc monitor.And since then
i had like 15 tv and pc monitors.
Also, what you pointed out makes it even more outrageous because if this function according to Sony must not be performed very often and LG or other brands perform it "automatically"
means the product itself is designed to reduce it's life cycle forcing you to spend the same or even more money sooner than you expected.
Instead of actually fixing the problem, they added a thing that might be not be working in favour of the customer. Thats ingenious ! ;D
I am almost 40...and this is outrageous. lol
I ran this once on my TV however when i turned it off it did not last an hour. It seemed to take the same amount of time as the auto refresher, even making the clicking noise after about ten minutes to indicate it was finished. I had the TV on for more than 4 hours before i tried manually pixel cleaning too so i am just wondering if there is a safety feature on these TV's that only run the short pixel cleaner even if you try running the manual one, if it has been turned on for more than 4 hours?
They do do do they? :)
Great analogy btw
