![]() The key is not force limited interaction with specific pixels regions. This longevity along with using various tech and tricks can really extend the life of an OLED. The good news is modern OLEDs are on their second, third and even fourth generation and every generation the longevity has been improved. This will probably eventually happen to an LED display but it could take a decade or so before you would notice it. The image retention people see with OLED is in fact pixels that have pushed farther than the surrounding pixels and thus cannot brightly display certain colors. Just like SSDs have a limited number of right, an OLED has limited amount of light emissions before it begins to wear out. Well lets talk.įirst the term burn in in not accurate, in truth what OLED experiences could be better defined as burn out. So, if anything, manufacturers are increasing the rate of which the pixel refresher runs - they wouldn't do that if the thing was damaging panels, given their intention is to prolong OLED life (not the other way round).So, you're looking at your first OLED panel and you're filled with trepidation over the chance of burning in your $1000+ screen. And, afaik, LG has increased the pixel refresher frequency for 1,5k hours in the latest firmware updates, given my CX automatically ran it at 3,5k hours (first one was 2k). Those people need, at least, two pixel refreshers a year. So, it's safer to only run as many times as necessary, no more than that.Īlso, your recommendation of "don't run it more than once in a year" doesn't work for people who run the panel 4k (or more) hours/year. You also can't interrupt energy delivery while doing so, so, obviously, the more you do it, the higher the chances of a failed pixel refresher run. The reason they don't recommend running it excessively is simply because it takes a sh*t ton of time to complete and you can't do anything with your panel while running it. This is the proof pixel refresher is NOT damaging your panel. Your panel will NOT become brighter (it might have a minimal, non-noticeable-to-the-human-eye increase which is to be expected after one or a few pixel refresher runs, but no more than that). ![]() If it did, your panel would become excessively bright as a consequence of it increasing the pixel voltage too much.ĭon't believe me? Get any OLED panel and run the pixel refresher as many times as you wish. The 2K one is the one you don't want to run too often because the best way to degrade an OLED pixel is to increase the voltage.Īgain, the pixel refresher does NOT increase the pixel voltage more than it needs to. It's a stress test using each TV on their max potential so there's no adjustes to be done, Samsung was the one who created and assured that their TV could handle over 1300 Nits and 6 Hours Timer for Pixel Refresher.Īn Average person don't use their TVs in the same way that a Stress Test does ( i personally don't ), not everyone uses the TV setting the Max Limit for each Specs playing the same static image on the screen ( i don't have a single spec set on 100, my brightness for instance is set for 40 ).įor the results we can see that LG knows better their Screen and the Limits they can reach and dive in with it, while Samsung does not, they failed to deliver as promissed and create an over bright/satured screen having to wait too much for the required pixel refresher timer to start. The test is done by using the max limit of each TV specs and also respecting their official suggested timer for Pixel Refreshes/Maintenance modes. The results are not worthless at all because it's not even a competition to begin with, it's a test made for each TV performance individually, the only thing the OP did was to compare the results each TV got. ![]() I am hopeful that LG's MLA gets it to be competitive with QD-OLEDs on pure performance while QD-OLED gets made into more sizes and more affordable TVs instead of being the top of the top. Playstation and Xbox has nothing to do with this so you bringing it out seems like you're arguing against some strawman LG C2 toting PS5 fanboy that you've made up in your head.įact of the matter is the S95B is a shit product all around, while the A95K is amazing, and the LG C2 is a nice proven cheaper option that's still pretty premium. If your reaction to someone criticizing a product is "you're just a fanboy" then you're the one actually being a fanboy and lashing out at legit criticism. I simply have a general interest/enthusiasm in consumer tech in general and follow it, like TVs, consoles, PC Hardware etc. Oh boy there's so much wrong with your comment in so few words I don't even know where to start.įirst of all, ownership of any product doesn't make anyone a fanboy of it, nor does not owning a product make me a hater, especially with something like a TV since most people don't buy multiple TVs anyway. ![]()
