If burn-in wasn't a problem, then LG wouldn't have to ship TVs with an option to help fix burn-in.
If burn-in wasn't a problem, then LG would cover burn-in under warranty!
They actually do cover it under warranty.
Where i am from they give 3 years.
@@bullseye6969 In some territories they may be legally required to.
@@bullseye6969, sadly not in my country, and now I have a 55" LG OLED B7P purchased at the beginning of 2019 *with a big burn-in area on the middle of the screen,* especially with the red pixels (in the middle of the screen, all red colors look much darker than they should, all yellow things look green since yellow is made up of red and green, and purple things look more blue since purple is made up of red and blue), plus the smaller burn-in areas left by channel logos and other static things around the screen 🤷🏻♂. It was partly my mistake for trusting that model despite being from 2017 (I thought this problem with OLEDs was the same for all TV models regardless of the year and that it wasn't so serious as some people said), but maybe I would have had the same bad luck with a 2019 model. 🤔

Based on my experience with my B6, I'm convinced LG tracks the total burn time of each pixel and compensates individual brightness. Sounds crazy but I saw rapid onset of burn-in of shows' logos only years after my kids stopped watching the shows. I could be wrong but I'm not willing to spend another $3500 to find out.
Oh wow so the burn in thing is an actual issue then?
I had b7 65' and had terrible burn in, after 4 years of normal usage. Never LG again thanks. I spoke to the LG technican and he said he has not seen to much models older than 5 years without burn in. So LG just fools their customers unfornutaley. They offered me to change the oled panel for 2.000 eur. Haha. I bought Samsung qn95 instead.
@@user-pv9pv4xf9c oh Jesus yes. On oled displays it's much more likley too happen and sooner.

Pretty new to your videos. I've seen about 3 so far. And man, this channel is awesome 👌🏾
I've had my 65" C9 for about a year now. I'll never use it as a monitor ever, but this video was ridiculously helpful.
Your level of explanation and analysis is insightful too.
Thanks
OLED's is just not good enough yet for stuff like office use. Text gets blurry, and the pixel refresher is beyond unacceptable for close viewing for longer times. You don't notice it as much when just viewing a movie or playing a game on a larger distance to the screen, but people might think they developed an eye disease when seeing the computer screen moving around every 5 seconds
FYI: The original remote can be programmed for long press 1-9 to switch to a specific HDMI.
Holy shit thanks bro haha
🤯 Thank you for sharing.
I’ve got that set up on my lg tv. Only downside is that I keep forgetting which device is in which input.
Holly smoke didn't realise that, thanks
That's a really nice trick. Is there a way to create a shortcut for live TV? It's only letting me create a shortcut for a specific channel, but I'd like to go back to the channel I was watching.

My CX55 is just over a year old now. It gets a few hours of watching TV and various PlayStation games per day. So far I've had no issues with image retention, but am still nervous about it. Worth it for the spectacular image though.
I've seen the pixel refresh automatically run once in that time, but didn't notice a difference before and after as there were no issues with the picture at that time.
Vincent on the HDTV Test RUclips channel (who properly geeks out on picture quality) suggests not turning it off at the power after use, as it does things to refresh the pixels each time you turn it off. I've noticed you often do hear it click off a few minutes after turning it off.
Nice dig at DMVs. Much appreciated anywhere I hear gold plated stuff like that.
"Back to you Steve!"
that gave me a good chuckle
"The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long." ~Scruffy, The Janitor
That is only considering if it has the same amount of fuel/same fuel source.
@@Camelotsmoon not really. it's more about the length of the candle. presuming two candles of the same type burned at different intensities, the brighter one will get melted first
all those pixels will be lost in time like... Tears in rain.
Unless you blow one of them out
*laughs in led lightbulbs*
I was using the cx as a monitor but was annoyed by few things (Vrr glitch, no sleep mode) so decided to use it as a second screen for gaming/movies only so that it's off most of the time and I'm glad I did that because at least there is no risks of burnin.
By the way, it's very likely that they have an history for the service menu, so don't modify anything if you want to keep the warranty.
what are u using instead? I have a cheapo 43" TCL as my monitor. It's quite good considering I only paid $200 for it. Recently I got a new notebook that showed me my TCL screen really lacks saturation and color accuracy. I was going to get the 48" LG A1 but now I'm not so sure.
Some useful info here, thanks Linus 👍
So far my 2.5 year old 65 inch C9 has been great and I haven't had to deal with any burn in/img retention. I game 70%-75% of the time on it and the rest is 4K blu-rays and streaming shows & RUclips. I've only done the manual pixel refresher 2-3 times in total, I mainly try to avoid excessive brightness (vivid modes, ultra high brightness settings, etc) and it seems to have helped so far. Keep up the good work 🤘😎
Then how do you see anything? Even at 100% brightness the LG oleds aren't that bright. I see people online at like 50% brightness and you literally can see nothing in any dark scenes and everything is totally washed out.
@@drunkhusband6257 its plenty bright in my dark room. I even wear blue light protective glasses after a couple hours to protect my eyes from getting fatigued and itchy. I keep my OLED Light at around 75, my brightness at 50 and contrast at 78. Works really well for me plus I hate overly bright displays, they remind me of all the crappy lcds and leds I used to sell at Magnolia HT & Best Buy back in the day
@@plamenski5244 You must like looking at a cave then with brightness at 50. When I adjusted settings even with oled light at 100, since I didn't see any "brightness" setting that you are talking about, was still super dark.
Linus isn't really providing useful info. He negligently trashed his TV that he received for free and is now pretending like this happens to everybody for a clickbait video. I'm embarrassed for him.
@@GamerWordDotNet If a TV can't last more than a year or two it's trash...period
With almost everything on screen being so static, an OLED as a PC monitor is probably the fastest way to get Burn In versus other daily or so uses. I would sweat every time, I could never..
I have used my LG CX 48" as a desktop monitor for over a year now. Zero burn in. That's about 8h usage 5 days a week for work and any personal use on top of that. But I do run dark mode where available, auto hide the taskbar, use a black background, use a screensaver and run it at about 20-30 OLED light setting which is more than bright enough for me. These are all one time setup mitigations that you don't even think of after a while.
I don't expect this display to last me 5-10 years but I expect by the time it has issues I can replace it with whatever is the latest and greatest and still have spent less than some of the higher end LCD monitors on the market today.
@@kasakka if you owned a Android phone you would know about oled same thing applies
Someone should make mods for games to create non-static UIs that constantly move every 20 seconds or so.
@@kasakka how can you even see with 20-30 OLED light unless it’s in a pitch black room? I find the CX super dim unless it’s 70 OLED light..
I have used an LG B9 for 2 years as a second screen, used for gaming and movies. Maybe 4 hours of use per day. No issues, apart from a vertical band of pixels that shimmer every now and then in the same place, but goes away after turning tv off.
I chuckled along with Wendell when he said "Back to you Steve".
That will never get old.
"Thanks Steve!"
OLED burn in is one of human technological failures. Early adopters pay full price (before price drop 1-2 years later) to get a bad technology.
@@fynkozari9271 Any new technology will have hickups that won't be surfaced, until enough people use it for enough time. That's the downside of being an early adopter.
It's another problem, when warranty doesn't cover something that it probably should.
I've had a CX55 for a year. I use the panel for 12+ hours a day, most of the time is in Windows and the rest of the time is gaming and movies. I have zero burn in, and I've taken all the precautions to ensure it. I have a black screen set as a screen saver, activating in 1 minute of non use. Screen turn off is set to 5 minutes. I use an all black wallpaper, and TranslucentTB to make the task bar see through and keep it hidden. OLED brightness is set to 30 or less for most tasks, and only up to 80 for gaming/movies.
I've had Alienware laptop 13" R3 and only have it set for 15 minutes hibernate and a scroll of Steelers background/Black every 5 minutes and I don't have any burn in for 5 years now. Replacing laptop due to CPU age and low hard drive SSD space.
Mine was one of the ones with heat problems. The front of the screen that everybody looks at, tends to cool-off much faster than the hidden interior side of the screen. This rapid temperature change on one side of the screen causes it to flex a tiny amount. But it's just enough to cause it to crack around the bottom frame. When I turn the TV off, as it's cooling down, you can hear the screen popping and cracking worse. I'm not used to such garbage quality products. I remember when a family would buy a TV and use it for 20 years.
we're back to the 90's guys, we need screen saver again just like the CRT days.
Flying Toasters are there to save the day!
OLED TVs have that, my Philips TV asks after like 12 hours runtime if it can start the cleaning procedure or it does it when in standby. And after 2 minutes of a static picture an actual screensaver kicks in. All my Smartphones since the Galaxy S1 had OLED screens, I don't get how people still think that this burn in or better said detoriation won't happen when displaying static images like OS elements. This is why I avoid the laptops with OLEDs, even though they look amazing.
I wonder if my license for the trains screen saver that I bought almost 20 years ago still works! Or if it still exists even :P
I am just now coming to the realization of why it's called a "screen saver."
@@realredfox It's funny because none of my phones since the S1 have any burn in. Not the S1, not the S4, J3, S7, and now on the S10e.
Y'all seem to blast crazy brightness, use always on display, and avoid dark modes like the plague...
That old S1 has zero burnt pixels. Zero. I do not understand how to produce AMOLED burn in in 3 years on the Samsung AMOLEDs. Or maybe I do, because anytime I see someone's else phone it blinds me with 100% brigtness eye-searing face punch.
We were always told to run a CRT screen as dim as possible when we used our oscilloscopes back in the day. so I can relate to the whole burn in thing. It was common to find a scope with horizontal traces etched into them.
I've had a 48cx for 2 years downstairs and it's fine. But mostly TV and console use. I have a 55c9 upstairs as my PC monitor that's 3 and that's also fine. But it's not used probably for more than a few hours each week and I've got screen saver on 2 minutes. Start menu on auto hide and I view stuff in full screen. Like you I love the image quality. It's difficult to look at an LCD screen now!
3000 hours use on my cx48. Oled light set at 36. All safety measures in place.
It's still solid so far.
Give it time
@@Jordanfiend361 8500 hours here, still perfectly fine. I don't even hide the windows task bar and I can't even see burn-in with the windows logo. If you set OLED Light low then the panel will last, period. Linus had his set way over 50 which is a big no-no, especially in applications where you expected static pixels. He should have known better tbh.
@MMMHOTCHEEZE to be fair, Mr. Linus can afford to burn 1000 oled screens.
I'm still happy with my cx48. And keep the oled light at 36 to preserve it.
But it will be replaced soon with the new 42inch model when released.
Nah, the CRT screen burn in was just them trying to take a screenshot.
lmao yeah they imprinted it :D
The LG CX already has its own dimming settings that are nice. I’ve slept with my TV on I’m not proud of it but it’s all right I’ve had it for a year zero burn in. I would get the OLED Once you experience once you do there’s no going back for me

We have the same TV. LG CX but mine is 55 inches. Been using it for a PC monitor for about 9 months now. I use it mostly for watching streams on Disney+ and HBO Max. Haven't seen a hint of burn in.
Tips for what I do include:
Lower OLED light (mine is 27).
Use in dark room.
Desktop background = solid black.
Hide desktop icons.
Do not put windows in full screen and move them every so often.
Auto-hide on the windows taskbar.
I bought an LG C3 Oled 48-inch, almost 2 months ago. I use it as a daily PC monitor (6-8 hours a day). So far so good.

LG CX owner with a year and a half of ownership and no sign of burn in! I run the pixel refresher pretty Often and I always keep the tv in either medium or maximum power saving mode so it’s not to bright and to avoid burn in! I love love love this tv!!!
This will ruin your TV. The manual pixel refresher shortens the lifespan. Your OLED do it automaticly in standby
I've seen this video before, and I'm watching it again. I bought an LG CX before Linus did. But to this day I still haven't experienced burn-in. It is my daily driver as a computer screen, and it is amazing. I believe the main issues here is that Linus didn't do the necessary prevention steps that are highly recommended for longevity. I mostly run my monitor at 50-75% where I enable HDR once in a while for movies, TV shows, and gaming.
This is why these things are TVs and not monitors. Realistically most people using these TVs as TVs are using them for mixed media content - movies, TV shows, streaming, video games. A few hour bursts.
All day every day PC desktop use is a very different use case that I never understood how anyone would recommend an OLED TV for at this point in time, and really kind of skews everyone's impressions of burn in/retention. Your average user I described above isn't going to have burn in issues. At least not for a much longer time.
Indeed. At first I was bummed out that I couldn't get a 48 inch version of the C1 but got a 55 inch instead so I couldn't have it on my PC desk, so I had it placed separately. It wasn't long till I realized that was a blessing in disguise.
I still have my PC connected to it, as well as my consoles. But knowledge of burn in is extremely helpful in preventing it from happening. I only use the PC for it when I'm going to play a game or watch a movie, and if I somehow need to do other things using the TV, I would make sure I'm changing what's on the screen very often to ensure nothing bright stays anywhere. If it is inevitable and I have to be on a window for a long time, I would just turn the OLED pixel brightness all the way to 1 or 3 from 100 as I can still see clearly and quality is not a need for the task. For movies for which I also prefer subtitles always, I have turned down the opacity of them in VLC so the white is more greyish and transparent, so it isn't bright and much less prone to causing burn in.
For consoles it's similar. When playing a game, if I want to take a quick break by pausing to check my phone for like 10 minutes or so, while on my phone I would switch through menus in the game every minute or so, or go to the home screen to make sure nothing stays on for long. If it's longer I would simply go to the settings and use the display off feature which I can turn on again by pressing any button.
I don't even need to do all this since I at best would use the TV like 5-6 hours a day and 3-4 hours on average, some days I wouldn't at all. But knowing about burn in I still take precautions, and because of it I'm almost certain I won't experience it. Heck even while playing games like visual novels I would try to go to the home menu or open up other menus for a few seconds every now and again. It isn't annoying to me at all, I like taking care of it as it's very expensive.
Also running it on 80 OLED brightness setting?! In dimly lit room I have 10-15 for regular stuff and 40 for HDR, its plenty bright enough.
@@igors_lv this is so true I have it on auto, but except for movie night with a good blu ray it's always at 20/40% maximum. At night even 10-20% or it hurts. Maybe 100% once in a while if I play in full day light on summer with the sun on the face lol.
Have it from 2017 and no problems so far gaming on it even with the pc.
I can appreciate that, and certainly it’s “different strokes for different folks”, but I could never justify this for myself because I’m too OCD and need my displays to be as close to perfect as possible at all times. So for computer stuff, I’m sticking to LCD with high quality local dimming instead until micro-LED or something similar can take the place of LCD (honestly micro-LED will probably also have burn in issues because of their size). It’s why I bought the M1 iPad Pro 12.9” when it came out because I realized there’s a chance these devices will transition to OLED soon, and I’d like to be able to just keep using my 1600 nits HDR display as a 1600 nits HDR display without being afraid it’s going to look like rubbish in 6 months for doing so. I can live with a tiny bit of backlight bleed when there are bright spots on the screen because it’s almost never actually visible beyond the light bleed that eyeballs and glasses lenses already create in super high contrast images anyway.
I can’t wait for a real groundbreaking new technology that gives us the best of both worlds at the same time. I do think the latest OLED screens are probably perfectly suited to TV and movies at this point, but you still have to accept a fairly limited lifespan if you want to actually be able to enjoy the specs you spent the money to buy. I mean if I was going to buy a 1000 nit HDR OLED screen and turn it down to 300 nits, I would just as soon save the money and buy a 300 nit OLED with a few replacements and have cash left over. I don’t mind spending money on good quality products, but I don’t consider something that has visible issues or visible degradation within a year to be acceptable unless it’s actually cheap, and the really desirable OLEDs are not cheap at all. That’s too rich for my blood.
I have 3300 hours on mine in 8 months. Over 12 hours a day. No burn in. Just use darkmode everywhere. Most apps have it available. Chrome has a mode that turns white pages dark also. I also use 30% brightness as there's no natural light hitting my TV. I have chrome windows open on it literally all day. Just don't be an idiot and keep full white windows at high brighness all day and it won't be a problem. I literally don't even think about it anymore.
LG said: "Burn-in is not a problem"
They didn't say burn-out was not a problem. - lol
xD
Technically it's uneven degradation, so I guess they know they can get away with it
Latley LTT videos have +20% more humor in openings and I like it. Keep it up. Nice
I hate ads in YT videos, but I do have to admit, those on this channel usually make me smile, while I sit through them. Well done, Linus.
This is why I keep my LG OLED as the secondary display, meant for gaming and content consumption with my IPS panel as normal PC functions.
Yea oled isn't for "normal" people. It's for folks who watch high end content in dolby vision+dolby atmos. Burn is a non issue in movie consumption.
Exactly. For content consumption (this included) I'm still using a Pioneer Pro plasma.
@@PeskyWabbit. It's for anyone who knows what they're getting and wants the things it specifically offers. "Not for normal folks is a gatekeeper" mindset
Its for people who can justify the bomb cost of buying a TV or monitor at huge cost knowing it will be guranteed e waste after a few years use.
Yeah, I think a swivel based mount would be perfect. You have the main monitor in front of you and the the OLED on top. And then when you want to game on the OLED, you would just spin the mount and now the OLED would be in front of you and the main monitor on top.
They wouldn't be on at the same time but you would always have it in an ideal position to look at.
Idk, just a fun idea that I had :D
It comforts me knowing that even people like Linus have the same struggles working through monitor menus that I do.
They really go out of their way to be terrible.
no fr, i thought i was a dumbass
Haha. Monitor settings are always terrible no matter what what brand
Its like a VCR, you just turn it on and deal with it how it comes out the box, much less painful that dealing with the OSD
@NimzyFPS I have an Asus monitor, and while the menus are better than my Samsung second monitor, it's still pretty shit.
I own a LG oled55b6v for about 6 years now and it has issues with burn in for the last 2 years; it regularly seems someone smears ink on either half of the screen but the buildin pixel refresher every time solved it completely... The tv still has an exceptional image!
Also am using the 48cx model as a computer monitor and still no burnin issues with it. 😎
You work for the company?
I have been using an LGCX55 for 2 years now, everyday, with no issues what so ever. Best monitor I ever had. Gaming, movies, and browsing the web too, in my free time. I don't do any work on it, I have a separate computer/monitor for that.
Using an OLED tv as a monitor is basically playing into the inherent weaknesses of OLED. Always thought this was a bad idea.
No doubt. I wouldn't even buy an OLED TV. Just knowing you have to baby your screen like that and still have to worry about ruining it is too much for me.
I have a digital camera with oled.. ok pretty old Olympus. Burn in included... But only visible when the image is nearly dark but this thing do not run for hours like a monitor
I'm choosing Neo QLED instead for my new monitor.
Cool, but why everyone putting them into laptops then? Also many more monitors are coming with an OLED panel ;/
I've had an OLED TV for years, no issue. Your comment is very true though as a ckmp monitor yiu have lots of static icons etc
Fun fact: you can get image retention on your eyes as well - just stare at something for a long time without moving and then look away.
or at anything bright
I do that with closing my eyes and staring at the sun. The reddish glow gets progressively red, then when you open your eyes, everything has a strong blue tinge to it.
Apparently it's caused by some colour receptors being overloaded and takes some time to come back.
Yes I tried stating at the sun and now all I see is white
@@yogetrekt8243 doesn't even have to be bright.
Your eyes and brain auto adjust just like cameras today.
It always happens to me. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming while staring at LED bulbs and when blink I see black dots shaped like the bulb
to enjoy an OLED as a desktop monitor, I use it as a second monitor for gaming and movies only. I always leave it on a completely black screen and keep a cursor on "Peek at desktop" whenever I'm not around to avoid any possible window pop-ups.
Make sure when using your OLED as a monitor you make the task bar auto hide, you use your web browser in full screen mode and get an extension for your chromium browser called scroll bars which allows you to hide them when browsing. In games, if you have the option make sure to hide your hud. Also it helps to set windows to high contrast dark mode. Set a screen saver to run after 30 seconds and if you must have a desktop background have it as a slide show or a moving one.
As I've stated, Ive used my b7 for years as a monitor.

What are you doing here? I literally just came from one of your videos. I thought i was still on your channel!
I had a 55 inches FullHD OLED, I bought it in 2016 but the model was from 2014. I began noticing a slight burn-in in the subtitles section of the screen after about 5 years of use, 9000+ hours of activity. I mostly watched movies and series in it, some ocasional gaming and no TV at all. I gave it to my sister now, and in the last moments I used it, I remember it had 17000+ hours of activity (7 years of use) and the burn-in was only noticeable in a bright scene with no subtitles, I saw it once a week tops. Other than that, image was still crystal clear. Now I have a 65 inches C2 with all these protection features, the old one had no protection at all. So I expect this one to last much longer without burn-in issues. 😄😄😄
I think the difference is entirely because you can pull SUCH long hours in an office with SUCH bright elements which are just always always on and never changing. Even speedometers or health bars in a game are just not bright on in the same place for 8 hours every day, you're going to go into a menu or finish a race or have a loading screen and generally the trend is to "minimalist hud" these days anyway.
RUclips's compression is absolutely murdering the dark images of the display in this video
Remember the old saying: "Screen burn-in is a Terminal illness."
Punny
Not if you use teletype!
I'm so glad I stumbled across this I was looking at the lg c1 as a gaming TV and my inky worry is the burn in
I have a laptop with OLED and have zero burn in and I'm amazed. Same with my CX, no burn in.

My only use of my 2017 55” LG OLED as a computer monitor has been for brief shared casting of my MacBook Pro’s screen onto the large display. I first became aware of those Lime Green static elements contaminating areas of the bottom of the screen (AND a large blob amidships that probable represents the ghost of my favorite cable news talking head) about 2 years ago. Several attempts at using LG’s built-in pixel refresher, and in the past few days a parade of many of the “burn-in-fixer” RUclips videos have not helped, and to add to that, one must add concerns about the deleterious effects of even using those videos; i.e., is it one part accelerating the demise of the entire panel in exchange for 3 or 4 parts beneficial housecleaning? As I approach the threshold for driving my 5 year old multi-$K purchase to Goodwill, I wonder if there’s ANY reliable source for accurate information regarding just HOW much better things would be on a current LG OLED than they were back in 2017😢
I just bought my very first OLED TV (55” LG B2) for our living room, and I’ve been having a lot of anxiety about it burning in, especially because I use it for PS5 gaming mostly, and this video has helped me feel much better about it. It seems like the modern newest OLEDs only have major issues when they’re used as a main monitor. I really love mine. I’m so glad I bought it!
I am thinking about lg c2 42 as my pc monitor..... but i am kinda backing off now due to this buring out thing
I bought my 55 b2 a few days ago too. Hope this never happens. I'm using mine mostly for movies.
I have the same TV and gotta say, for the $1000 I paid for it, the 55" 4K 120Hz OLED display is definitely worth it.
@@43SunSon same. it would be my main monitor and i sit hour on hour sometimes even 15h on it i think its to risky

No, content with black bars is likely to cause burn in, because the black bars dont wear the pixels but the movie does.

I have 6000 hours of use on my LG C9 that I got two years ago-I use it for all my pc games and movies-and I have zero burn in. Literally all this can be avoided if you just turn off the TV when you’re not actively using it. When I go take my dog for a walk, I turn off the tv. Bathroom? Turn off TV. Getting a drink?

I can't deal with a product where I have to nurse it longevity. It'll drive me nuts constantly checking whether I'm causing damage and never enjoy using it. I'll barely use my projector for worrying about the bulb life and almost avoid my RC hobbies for worrying about puffing lipos lol.
You probably also not have any pot plants or teflon coated pans at home ;) In seriousness, if you have a second lcd screen, you can just use the lcd for menial tasks like browsing and use the oled for games or movies. The CX I use has a black desktop, no icons and the task bar is hidden. Over 1.5 years in it is still in great condition. I also only turn up the brightness on rare occasions. On this note I also set up the tv to not receive too much interference with sunlight or reflections, this helps a lot. But I understand that not everyone has the leeway to plan it that way.
I'd agree with you about using an OLED monitor, but worrying about projector life and lithium batteries? Dude, everything you use has a finite life. If you don't use it, it's just a waste.
And often, you overestimate how fast things would degrade. It's better to use stuff normally, at least the first time around. Then if it dies too soon, you can replace it and recalibrate your usage pattern. Better than not enjoying anything ever.
@@mkports y'all think I'm joking. I do worry about wearing out my Teflon pans. This shit is debilitating. 😞
@@polycrystallinecandy man I'm not shittin you. I will get so obsessed over my phone and laptop battery health it's sometimes to even fun to use them.
You need to get a cast iron pan and a bottle of flax oil and/or walnut oil. Just get that pan hot in a fire or a self cleaning oven, sand with steel wool, coat as thinly as possible with flax or walnut oil, and let set for a few days or let sit in a hot but not too hot oven for an hour until oil polymerization give a teflon like surface. You'll find it inexpensive and rewarding because you're making your own beautiful finish to cook on.
If you have issues with text looking wierd, its not the super resolution feature. It is the input tag switching back to "HDMI" icon by itself. To get the correct picture clarity you have to go to the Home screen of the TV, go to "edit" in the top right corner and switch the input type to "PC" with the pc icon. Then the picture will look normal. Its a common bug with this TV and is also required if you want proper Gsync and latency.
I don't think this actually does anything. All it does is change the icon when you go to select inputs. How does this even work? Why would changing the icon to PC make it look different?
@@omgwatit's a quirk of the CX, setting the icon to a "PC" disables a lot of the postprocessing that hurts PC use.

@@PinkAgaricus well of course they do lol
Heh, yeah, though while I probably wouldn't notice burn-in within 12 months as easily as Linus (or at least, I wouldn't care about it as much) I would expect a more expensive monitor to last as long or longer than my current LCDs, which have been chugging along just fine for the past 8-10 YEARS. Sounds like they could potentially end up being worse than said monitors after a fraction of that time.

I do have all the safety features on the tv offers to prevent burn in too. Also I changed the settings to a warmer color in all video formats which is also better for your eyes.
Well you can set the number keys as shortcuts to HDMI inputs so you do have dedicated buttons for each input. I have the newer C1 65' model and they have the same remote so I know yours can do it as well.

I still have two samsung plasma TVs in my house that are about 10-12yrs old with zero burn in. I bought a 65in LG C1 and have been running it on 100% brightness since the day it was released. No burn in yet thank god (I refuse to watch content with static images such as logos, and I refuse to fall asleep with the TV on) but if it happens it happens.. If the day comes I'll probably switch to mini LED and deal with the blooming. I think OLED looks great, but at times depending on the content I wish it was brighter. Good luck with your OLEDs peeps!
Definitely need more product follow ups, especially on positively reviewed products. They don't need to be this in depth, but at least quickly review the item and explain any differences in opinion over the timed duration.
It's the problem with reviewing products. Right out the box, first impressions shit could be great. But covering longevity and durability becomes a problem because well, you don't have time for that.

I've had a 2020 65" LG CX OLED since end of 2021. So less than 2¹/² years later, my set developed a thin black vertical line right of center. Started intermittently, but within a few days became a permanent fixture.
Because I had purchased an insurance plan - due to concerns about burn-in, and the overall reliability of organic LEDs - I am getting a comparable replacement.
Although I was offered another LG OLED, and considered a Samsung QD-OLED, I chose a Samsung neo Q-LED.
My reasoning is I don't want to have to deal with OLED issues again. I've never owned a TV that failed in such a short period of time.
Also, the vibrancy of the LG never matched the color of my 10-year-old Sharp Aquos. It's like the difference between flat paint and glossy.
Hoping the Samsung doesn't disappoint.
I got burn in and LG replaced the entire screen for me, and it was 6 months out of warranty. Was really impressed with their support.
My LG is burned to FUCK and they told me to fuck off. 3 months out of warranty. In the trash it went, NEVER again.
@@ross-carlson make sure you get the 5 year warranty with a reputable store. I got my c9 with a 5 year warranty and it got a central burn in patch after 1 year. The store (Curry's pc world) swapped the panel for a CX panel. So far it's been 1 more year and no problems.

Everytime when I'm itchy about getting an OLED tv as my monitor, I come back to this video
I’ve been using 48CX since June 2021 and have not thought of using it as a PC monitor. But I play RUclips videos a lot, like at least 12 hours/day. I’ve heard things before, and I am concerned about the product life too, but fortunately, so far I am satisfied with this great TV. XSX goes exceptionally well. I hope I can use it as long as possible. By the way, I’ve run the pixel refresher every once in a while, but I guess it’s not a good idea, according to Linus and his guest? That’s too bad.
12 hrs a day! Like a full time job bro :)
update?
Thanks for this Linus. It doesn't affect me, but I always feel good when someone in the media steps forward and and admits their mistakes and works to correct them.
The subtle verge pc build video nod, with the "that's right, we've got it!" Made me breathe heavily out my nose.
i’ve had a CX for over a year now and use it for PS5 gaming and media consumption. i’ve used it as a pc monitor for about a week max but never had any issues with burn in
I own a 2012 Panasonic plasma (ST50) and it has this Pixel Orbiter / Shifter, which is always turned ON. If you take a close look at the screen (2-3 feet) u can see that pixels are shifting and the image looks blurry. But if u sit far away from TV , the picture looks absolutely normal. So if you are using a monitor, pixel orbiter/shifter does not make sense cos as Wendel mentioned, images will not look sharp as the pixel keeps shifting. So I bought a BenQ 4K monitor which has no issue in working for longer hours. OLED TV makes a lot sense since you sit far from TV and Pixel shifting will not affect your "Experience" in anyway and can be worry free about the burn-in as well.
We still use the Plasma in the living room and there is no match on the picture quality compared to modern LCD TVs like QLED, Mini LED, etc..

Felt that. I came away with the impression from those OLED videos that burn-in was not much of an issue anymore. A lot of less-savvy people will have felt that as well, and i am shocked to even think that until now, OLED is still going through first adopter hiccups as newer tech like microLED is emerging in the consumer space. Should’ve never recommended this for general consumer use w/o elaborating on the hassle AND the fact that LG OLED will last realistically only 1-2 yrs. Having to go through any of these hassles of managing burn-in is just an absolute deal-breaker, not everyone has the inclination or time, or even headspace to deal with that- im already anxious of a lot of stuff, i dont want to add my freaking monitor to the list of things I worry about. That OLED vid gets a retroactive dislike from me
I’ve been daily driving with a CX OLED for a year now. One thing that has REALLY helped- using Wallpaper Engine with the RGB Japanese Clock w/Spacing wallpaper. It’s basically a scrolling “Matrix Style” wallpaper that constantly refreshes pixels as in “rains” down the display, changing characters each time it does. I’ve also enabled hiding the taskbar…and making sure I don’t have windows sitting open static too long. I’ve only had to use the Pixel Refresher a couple times for an icon I accidentally left on it (have all my icons on a secondary monitor), and so far it’s been the best monitor I’ve ever used.
Sounds like a lot of work just to make sure that the display doesn’t die
Searched that thing after I read your comment, how can you use it without feeling in a horror movie everyday? It's a very unsettling wallpaper.
How are icons a problem? I'm always using one thing or another in full screen, the desktop is rarely seen and only when I have to open something else. What am I missing?
@@Vilmar22 when the monitor is 48 inches you don't always use fullscreen so some icons might be constantly on display.
Black is the only thing that doesn’t damage the pixels, since they’re being damaged whenever they’re on.
This is why I like the long term reviews. You see stuff like this that doesn't show up on out of the box reviews
Why? It's a dumb video, he messed up and got burn-in. I have 1500 hours on my LG CX as a monitor and have zero.
@@DriveCancelDC but if I haven't watched this, or most long term videos, I would have never known. No out of the box reviews I have seen so far have mentioned burn in, only the long term ones. Even if it was them saying "I hear a lot of people having issues with burn in, I have not had any issues so far"
Worked for a certain Big Box retailer...blue - anyway - every single time the LG rep came in with the new lineup I would always bring up burn in and every single time "its not an issue we took care of it" - yeah . . . thats why you cover it under warranty, and have built in software to help mitigate it and clear it up. Would NEVER use an OLED for my primary display on a PC.
Glad you’re bringing this up. I spent a little extra to get a 5 year warranty including burn in for my LG CX.
Same, haven't had any issues after almost a year in but given the burn in chance, spending a bit more to make sure you can get a replacement is worth it.
Ditto, did the same thing with a burn in warranty through best buy.
Now if my screen burns, which I've already taken precautions to make sure it's not likely to happen, then I'm still covered.
Either way, I win.

I love my OLED tv, but I was still very nervous about using one as a monitor precisely because of burn in. This confirms my fears.
Thank you for going to the trouble of checking it!
using it for watching esport is bad enough to make burn-in/ghosting
Oh man, I cannot keep this for myself, these guys have no idea what they are doing.
I am using OLEDs for years as PC-Monitors, at the moment a 65-inch LG CX and I never had burn in.
You have to know how to use your tools.
Let me give you a guide:
1. Do NOT use a desktop wallpaper with an OLED, it is totally wasting the lifetime of the pixels for nothing.
2. Change the position of your task bar every week! Bottom, Left, Top, Right and so on....
3. Don't disable your automatic brightness limiter. (I actually love the ABL, because otherwise I get headache when working with documents for a long time.)
4. Activate Pixel-Shifting
5. 80% or even 60% ,,OLED-Light" like mentioned in this video is way too bright on the desktop. I don't know how they work with this, I get a freaking headache.
- Just use 30% brightness for daily desktop-use, 10% brightness with artificial light around you and 0% when working in the dark. (I use mine 8 -16h a day for work with no burn in!)
- Of course, if you are watching movies, or playing games, then you can go to a higher OLED-Light setting. (Never use the brightness setting, use OLED light!)
- If you don't know the best picture settings, use the SDR Settings RTings measured to be the most accurate.
- I actually only go above 50% OLED-light when watching something in HDR. More is unnecessary for SDR-Content and wasting your display for nothing.
6. Always use dark themes where possible.
- Dark pixels do not wear out OLED pixels at all, so why not using dark themes on the desktop...
That way I never had burn-in even when using my OLEDs for years.
Yes, for me, OLED is the best looking display technology, but you have to know how to use it right.
I am still disappointed when looking at every other PC-Monitor against my OLEDs.
When doubling the brightness of an OLED you quarter the lifetime. So using it at 20% brightness will increase the lifetime of your TV by about 16 times against 80% OLED-Light! So brightness is very important with OLEDs as a monitor!

Best Buy sells warranties that specifically cover burn in. I’m getting a new TV every 5 years because I just force burn in a few months before my warranty is up.
I got an LG curved OLED from 2016. I have 6800 hours-ish and I have burn in. Mostly only noticeable with reds and yellows. But I can clearly see health bars etc from video games. It sucks but 5 years is solid and OLED is the best display ever. I couldn’t go back to anything else. I’ll still use this a little while longer, it’s not unusable by any means. May upgrade soon, and with OLED tech having come a longer way since 2016, it will be nice to upgrade. I’ll miss curved though, seems the curved tv trend came and went unfortunately. Curved looked great for gaming.

@Puji Astuti what
I've seen old data terminal monitors with burn in so bad you can see exactly which kind of mainframe it was talking to, and the department it used to be in.
I've also seen an old ViewSonic CRT that was used for a time-card system. You could see even the clouds in the background crystal clear when it was off.
My experience with my BX Oled after a year is good so far. I use it as a TV Monitor for office work and such, but I also game on it and watch Netflix and stuff on it, it's basically my TV in my room which I use for everything.
Until now, no burn.
My settings for Office Work are 0 Oled brightness in gaming mode, it's somehow brighter on the desktop than let's say Netflix, idk why but 0 is good enough.
Gaming settings are 100 full blast Oled brightness with HDR if available in HDR gaming mode.
For daily Netflix series I use the "dark room" picture setting, thats the last one in the menu.
And for Movies, Netflix and so on where HDR is available, I use HDR in "expert bight room" mode.
all in all, looks like this different content and settings are enough to keep burn in under control :)
Yayks. I game on CX55 and I love it. Best thing ever to happen to gaming (paired with RTX3080). Have it for one year now. I try not to have static image, I have auto hide for taskbar and sometimes I shift my browsers window a bit around, so the browser logo and bars are not on the same spot. Also I don't have brightness at max. I can only hope for the best. But once you go OLED you can never go anywhere else. If I get burn-in I will buy OLED again :)
