Here's what my C7 looked like after less than 2 years of heavy gaming:
Having said that, the image quality for OLED is so good that I replaced it with a CX...but with the Best Buy 5-year warranty this time.
That's only supposed to run every 2000 hours of use.I had all the correct settings on, and ran the pixel refresher daily. None of them will prevent cumulative burn in if you're not careful with fixed logos/tickers. I had listened to all the ' you won't get burn in if you have the anti burn in settings on' and 'the new models won't get burn in' so figured I'd be safe
I had this, and had letterbox burn-in. You could always see the bars at the top and bottom of the screen. but most prevalent on reddish hues.I had the Netflix logo burnt in on my 2016 LG OLED panel. It was only noticeable on a red/yellow background though.
I wonder for the people that played/used the TV for hundreds of hours and don't see any burn-in have done a red/magenta screen check to make sure. I thought the same until I did that and at that point I didn't care lol, but thankfully LG hooked it up.
That sucks and should be covered by LG, then! How many hours was the tv on service when the burn in happened? I'm now at 1,600 hrs with my C9 without burn in but had a panel change early on die some banding issues.

You're killing the TV by running it daily.
It does a light basic anti-burn in measure for a few minutes every time the TV has been on for more than 4 hours. The "pixel refresher" is a full-on 30(I think) minute cycle that happens automatically every 2000 hours, or you can engage it manually if you see IR.Honestly, I've got used to the little off-colour band at the bottom, and I couldn't be bothered with trying to get a replacement (especially in Covid Year Zero!).
I was isolating/working from home and Sky News was literally on from 7am till 5pm+. I wouldn't care, I wasn't even in the main room most of the time. Just thought it wouldn't happen to me - I'm super careful now though, and I don't regret buying one and I'll certainly be buying an LG OLED if I get a new one in the next few years.
Eh?! It's on auto so it runs every time the TV goes into standby if it's been on for more than four hours.
I know LG have their issues, but I don't think allowing an automatic process to run that actively kills the TV is one of them.
Sorry, when you said that you "ran the pixel refresher daily" I thought you were talking about manually running the "Pixel Cleaner" function from the menu.Eh?! It's on auto so it runs every time the TV goes into standby if it's been on for more than four hours.

Man that's dedication.Although I do baby it a bit. I turn off the screen if I legs the room even for a minute (saved it to the quick menu), and I turn it off for a second when YouTube or Netflix load their red splash screen.
Every year since like 2016 we hear "newer panels won't have X problem". Yet these threads continue to exist annually.
Truth is we won't know 2020 TV's are faring until 2023.
Heh, no problem. You had me terrified and checking the manual!Sorry, when you said that you "ran the pixel refresher daily" I thought you were talking about manually running the "Pixel Cleaner" function from the menu.
Not that you left the TV in standby so the automatic one could run after every four hours of use.
The "Pixel Cleaner" function is the one that the TV runs every 2000 hours.

Jesus Christ. I just… can't pull the trigger… I don't upgrade TVs often enough…Here's what my C7 looked like after less than 2 years of heavy gaming:

My concern is that I don't really use my Switch all that much, and there was a time when I noticed it was on and had some error message on the screen, and I don't know if it was like that for hours or days or what. I'm not too concerned with a lot of regular modern content, but old games with static HUDs and stuff potentially freezing when I'm away does worry me when it comes to OLED screens.I'm really interested in seeing how the Switch OLED's screen holds up with long, UI heavy games, like Xenoblade 2.
lol !Burn in is totally not a thing any longer, as long as you hide taskbark and desktop icons, dim logos, don't use too much brightness, don't view the same content, don't play certain games, don't play just one game, don't view movies with black bars all the time... the thread.
I mean black bars literally won't do shit to an OLED. Bright yellows are what you should be concerned with if anything but I'm sure you and your trolling don't actually care. For what it's worth LG is covering burn-in for 5 years on their newest panels so the fraction of people that encounter the issue will be that much smaller.Burn in is totally not a thing any longer, as long as you hide taskbark and desktop icons, dim logos, don't use too much brightness, don't view the same content, don't play certain games, don't play just one game, don't view movies with black bars all the time... the thread.

No. 12 months with a CX.

I also don't play too many games with HUDs.
My Samsung Galaxy S7 had the home screen and notificaiton bar burned into it after a year and a half. You could see it on a white background pretty clearly. Tried all the different videos to 'unstuck' the pixels but was never able to
