OLED TV Owners Thread (OLED Gang): Purchases, Recommendations and Updates

[Rice N Beans]

The pixel refresher got rid of any burn I started seeing on the OLED (the PS Sign andsome other shyt)

Pixel refreshing is nice to have (especially since uniformity can masks degradation), unfortunately the burn-in it is something that is part of the technology.

As far as I know, Samsung has a little leg up on reliability as their QD layer allows better light conversion, thus doesn't need to drive the LEDs as hard and making them last longer. But everyone should get a warranty on an OLED TV they buy.

On another note, I was at a store nearby and looking at the OLEDs. Just makes me want those Micro LEDs to pick up more steam. Can't wait for that to come out since it will solve almost all issues aside from sample-and-hold inherited "flaws".

That's not burn in that's image retention, which happens on every TV

burn it's literally burned in, you can't get rid of it

It was more than just image retention.
The entire outline and image was suck on the screen for a while
The pixel refresher is there to prevent the burn in

The pixel refresher works but most people don't use it even though it automatically runs when ou turn off the tv after using it for a while

Image retention stays for a while, burn in is burned into the screen those are dead pixels

pixel refresh is there to prevent burn in from happening not repair burn in, it prevents burn in by rearranges the pixels so an image can't burn in

Call LG for options on getting it replaced. IIRC, after a certain number of pixels, they'll replace the panel for free.

Technically it's not free because you have to pay labor

Never heard of a warranty fix having any charge.

I just had it done a few months ago from LG

Must have changed. Weak, but still good. I'm sure Sony is raping fools.

Hell yeah, beats having to buy a new one

Samsung shytting on their flagship product









I know Quantum is suspect, but he's in the right calling Samsung out.

Dynamic Mode still hits 1500 nits and can be tamed to look like the old Movie mode if you go on AVS Forum.

All the other modes got nerfed to just over 1000 nits which puts it right above the Sony QD-OLED and the LG G2.

It’s still the brightest OLED you can buy just not what it was before.

I knew shyt was fishy. I'm good. My C1 is fine for now.

I got the Samsung, a CX and a C8 and its killing it both of em.

But there's no real reason to upgrade a C1 for a few years unless you just got money to blow and want something brighter.

That Samsung foolery is a dealbreaker for me. Makes me think the tech isn't what they said it was.
