There are a couple of handy options to help with screen burn for the 2021 LG OLED's. I'm not sure if this is available on the older models. Click Settiings / All Settings / Support / OLED Care / OLED Panel Care and set Screen Move on and Adjust Logo Brightness up to High. The TV should also automatically run a Pixel Cleaning routine periodically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only occurs on the football UHD which is strange so I just set it back to 10 bit for all other UHD channels. No idea why this occurs though 🤷♂️ Happens with all TVs. I think it might be to do with HDR. Edited December 1, 2021 by hughesie27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why this occurs though 🤷♂️ Hughesie is correct in saying that it's related to HDR. If you don't have a setup box capable of HDR, your UHD TV picture will look dull if the setup box is set to 10 bits as the extra bits carry the HDR feed I believe. Check if your setup box is HDR compliant. If it's not, ask for an upgrade. As you say, the workaround is to set it to SDR (8 bits). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an option to create a custom mode you could make your own one and ramp up the backlight/OLED light, brightness and contrast settings. This should make it fairly similar to watching a standard LED tv in a bright room (unless you're talking almost so bright it's like being outside, or have the sun beaming directly on to the set) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really an issue now for us but can’t lie was pissed off at the time. Oled is the correct answer though as the picture is tremendous.

hughesie27 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Newer OLEDs are have brightened up a bit since 2022 models. You can look online for their 'nits' rating. You want one that's reaching 700 nits at least to be usable without curtains closed. Also need to consider if any lights in the room will reflect on the screen as OLEDs have a very glossy type screen. Your phone probably has an OLED screen, they'll be brighter than a typical TV will be capable of though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I've bought tellies (not very often) my approach is: 1. What size fits the space I'm putting it? Where mine are fixed kind of dictates a maximum - chimney breasts and alcoves. I've ended up with a 48" as the main telly and a 49" in the second room. Neither is overpowering. 2. What's the best tech that I can afford? The 48" is the main one. I bought it when 4k was new and OLED was just coming out. I could have gone OLED for about 4 times the price but 4k was bloody impressive and was going to cost me about £1500 anyway. I'll have it for about 20 years so start slightly ahead of the curve. The 49" is in a room to be used mainly by the kids so I'm not giving them better than I'm using. Got that telly a couple of years after the "main" one but went to about £6-700, still with HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have limited space on the unit that it'll be sat on.

I’d also purchase from somewhere that included a 5 year warranty, probably not Curry’s. Many online places do including Sony direct but locally John Lewis and Costco do as standard.
