LG C1 user here. Put nearly 13K hours into this TV and it’s still just as amazing as it was when I first bought it back in November 1st, 2021! No signs of burn-in nor various uniformity issues whatsoever. Then again, I use it for movies (mostly through 4K Blu-rays and my iTunes/Apple TV movie purchases), sports (mostly soccer, basketball, and F1 racing) and gaming (in my case both the PS5 and Xbox Series X), so a little bit of everything, lol.
@@coloniellizardt4191 wow that’s amazing! I’ve had my C2 since July 2023 and I only have 1k hours on it, same as you only for movies/gaming (PC + PS5) but I play competitive games on my 240hz monitor which is why I don’t have that many hours on it. For anything story tho it’s on the C2 cuz it just looks so good. With my usage I don’t think I’ll ever see burn in lol. I also use it at relatively low brightness since I always watch movies or play in a dark room. 30-40% SDR and 50% HDR.
For anyone doing this test on their phone : Make sure you’re in a dark room skip to 95% greyscale, set your brightness to about 35% and zoom the video fully out in portrait mode so that your screen is 100% covered. If you’ve had your phone for at least a year, you’ll see burn in. It doesn’t show at 100% brightness at all.
ok if you got a new oled screen and have those vertical lines on greyscale, i advise you to wait couple of months. I was worried whey i bought my expansive monitor because the lines ware really noticibe but after 3 months and a couple pixel cleaning cycles it went away compleatly. Give it time and take care.
This is a really important comment. RTings did a video on this topic and doesn't consider these artifacts actual permanent burn-in. I ran a manual short compensation cycle after noticing a few vertical lines on the gray scale at 95% and they disappeared next time I turned on the monitor.
I have seen before on my LG 55CX where on a grey screen the uniformity is awful, looks really muddy, but I believe every 4 hours of power on time an OLED will do a small self clean automatically.
iPhone 12 mini, slight red haze around the edge of the screen and battery slightly burned in. I have auto lock turned off. My iPhone 6 lasted until last year with auto lock off and it probably had at least 100 dead pixels over its entire display. Became too slow.
Sony Xperia 1 iii (3.5 years old) - I have a large blob of brighter light, with a ring around it that is darker than the rest, visible from 60% greyscale and onwards. Other than that, no visible burn-in.
LG C2 here, used for gaming, movies and TV shows. Had the TV over a year and so far so good. (No Burn in detected) My old LG OLED had some gnarly burn in but that was an early gen TV so it was gonna happen. (it still gets used as a TV where the burn in is less noticeable)
you shouldn't be bothering with these tests if you're unaware of these flaws or don't notice them/mind them in the first place. you should only be here if these flaws bother you, not because someone told you that you should care. ignorance really IS bliss.
I’ve not got an OLED tv, but just ran this test full screen on my iPhone 15 Plus in a dark room and it’s flawless, even on the 95% slide. I guess it’s more of an issue for larger panels though.
Make sure you’re not testing this at 100% brightness, my 13PM has burn in that’s not visible at all in regular use but shows up on this test with ~35% brightness. If I test it at 100% then it’s impossible to see.
actually it isnt burn in, i know exactly what youre talking about, and i saw the same thing on a new oled monitor mind you, then i switched to my IPS monitor and ran it again , it did the same thing, must be something with the video/the streaming of the video or something.
It must be due to the video quality. I've noticed the same thing on my oled c3 and I panicked! And I tried to lower the resolution of the RUclips streaming and I have noticed that the squares get bigger😂😂 that means it is embedded on the video
So my iPhone 12 mini’s burns after 3 years are visbily in the greyscale over 90% and of course it is the battery, WiFi and others in the areas beside the notch and the white bar at the bottom of the screen 😂 . That is actually a massive step up from back in the day where my s7 samsung had visible burn in during normal use a year in.
If you switch your phone into light mode for like a year, it’ll actually “reverse” the burn in and if you time it just right it’ll look uniform again😂😂😂
Can anyone clarify if each slide is absolute flat in color? Or due to RUclips compression, there are certain inconsistencies in some of them? I see some at 95% on my OLED tv, but am not sure if that’s burn-in or RUclips compressing the video. I can’t really test it on my phone because there’s already burn-in on there, lol.
Whats with the 4 shapes at the top of the screen above 80% there like squares made of 4 blocks, 2 black and 2 grey, are they part of the video they dont show up on other greyscale videos
I'm sure these are to mess with people. Saw on my TV, then also on phone in the same places. They moved when I spun my phone from portrait to landscape, so clearly not burnin!
I returned my newly bought TV based on this video, screen uniformity was bad and some banding... Just received my replacement but I'm too scared to run it again .. what should I do? It seems the replacement is better at first glance but still too scared man
How does the screen seem in normal use, and is it LCD? If it is, often a small amount of DSE is unavoidable, so I would be happy with the new screen and not run the tests if it was me lol.
You're doing a fantastic job! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
lol same.. I definitely don’t feel like dealing with taking my brand new LG G3 off the wall, dismantling the wall mount and packing it all up and then lugging it around to try and return it. All because I watched this RUclips video, that would be insane. I refuse lol
@@tactical_philanthropy yeah that’s my point, I know it would bother me to no end if I ran it. So best to just avoid it and just enjoy my TV instead of feeling like I got ripped off or that my brand new several thousand dollar TV is broken.
If i see some vertical banding from 50% to 90% on right side of the screen should i consider returning it if its not visible while watching real content/playing games?
The banding is either youtube bit crushing the video, or auto contrast settings. Color banding is not a defect of hardware, it is a result of content streaming.
@@James-xo2jh Hey bro I notice the same "banding" / "splotches". The splotches are very apparent when the screen is at it's lowest brightness and you receive a call when the phone is locked. It's not too visible when you receive a call when the phone is unlocked though.
There's noticeable burnin of some windows taskbar icons and groups of dead pixels on my LG C9. I never used it past 60 brightness since I usually watch in a dark environment. Also, it's strictly used as a display for a htpc so the taskbar is rarely visible (switching movies, downloading, copying or deleting stuff etc.). It's only 4 years old. My older LED TV was abused for 10 years and I only upgraded because I wanted better picture quality, otherwise looked brand new. Quite disappointing big reviewers love to advertise burnin is not really an issue we should worry about it when it clearly is.
My question here would be can you see OLED screen uniformity while playing content? I know with the test here you can but without this test is it noticeable?
As on OLED owner for about 2 years now (LG CS 55). No dead pixels, no burn in, uniformity is perfect. I guess i had a bit luck too...knock..knock. Edit: phone check s20 fe. At 15% grey noticeable bar till 90%. I don't care it's an old phone.
4673 hours, here. I've been using my 65" C1 as my primary monitor for nearly three years now *(edit:* I compute from a recliner: keyboard in lap and mouse on armrest.. so much more comfortable than a desk). I disabled every "OLED care" setting, including ASBL (TPC & GSR) in the service menu and still, there are *zero* signs of burn-in. The only preventive maintenance I do is autohide the taskbar and set the wallpaper to Slideshow with a 30 minute interval. Anybody who is still afraid to buy an OLED is a damn fool. Well those people can go ahead and enjoy their washed-out IPS; while I sit here with my infinite contrast ratio and vibrant HDR, laughing at those idiots. Seriously, you haven't experienced HDR properly until you've seen it on an OLED. Hell, you haven't experienced a *monitor* properly until you've had an OLED.
Right now I use an galaxy a51 that used to be my mother's. The screen is incredibly burned, the worst part is that the burn-ins shape the tiktok UI 💀 Anyway, the navigation buttons are definely visible, even on the wallpaper, the difference when the Grayscale showed up most likely could even be seen on camera

iPad Pro M4 with Tandem OLED checks good. No Vertical Banding or uniformity issues.
Noticed some interlacing lines or flickering on iPad M4, maybe due to dual layer OLED.

It’s definitely an issue, my LG 55CX gets used for gaming/youtube/Windows pc quite a lot and no issues, but doesn’t mean to say it doesn’t happen.
My button navigation bar got a slight retention, thanks god I found this out early and switched to gesture navigation.
My question here would be can you see OLED screen uniformity while playing content? I know with the test here you can but without this test is it noticeable?
Depends how bad it is. I found mine playing games
Legit thought there was a white line during 0:00 on the side of my phone but turns out it was a fullscreen bug
Could you make this video in 32:9 aspect ratio so I can test out my monitor ?
yeah
As on OLED owner for about 2 years now (LG CS 55).
No dead pixels, no burn in, uniformity is perfect. I guess i had a bit luck too...knock..knock.

2 years in LG A1, and no one burn in, but using this just to see YT and streaming movies or series..

Better if the transition was smooth gradation instead of instant.
Yeah seriously I've been looking for such a video, but none are to be found.
Good idea! I'll get this done and updated at some point. If theres anything else let me know so when I get round to updating I'll add it in.
Numbers on greyscale are wrong 100 percent should be the brigthest frame.
how so? that would make it very difficult to see any issues.
