I've been putting my LG C2 OLED to good use since I got it in October 2022. With over 2200 hours of usage, mainly for my PC and work-related tasks, I'm thrilled to report no issues at all! It seems like the days of old are long gone, and LG's OLEDs have made significant improvements compared to other brands.
Do you use oled protection stuff like pixel shift and logo dimming ?
Im planning to buy a G3 soon for mainly games and some movie time
I was looking this answer to pull the trigger thanks mate
Do you used to max your brightness at all time?
Yeah on the other hand imagine if you had burn in after just a half year of use. Let's see in 5 years.
@@nicknickname353 Certainly, I consistently utilize OLED power-saving features, such as keeping my taskbar hidden and maintaining a 50% OLED brightness level for routine office tasks. However, during gaming sessions on my PC and PlayStation 5, I opt for maximum brightness. Additionally, when viewing Dolby Vision content, I ensure the brightness is set to the highest level for optimal experience.
When you're not doing the silly test worrying about your TV. From my perspective on my C1 55" I think your TV looks amazing! I have been nothing but amazed with my LG C1 since I have had it. The videos I got to every so often even now look just as vibrant as they did the day I brought my new TV home with me. OLED FTW!
i just got a G2 55 inch last week, amazing tv... had it at 1400 euros brand new, i intend to keep it for like 5 years plus so your updates are amazing for my peace of mind haha
Hi Paul. I have a CX, and we do a lot of gaming, tv watching with channel logo and movies, none stop. A lot of hours on this one, and Iâm glad to say there is no a single sign of burning. I would not trade LG Oled for any other. Thanks Paul. Blessings!
I have a CX as well. I've ran a lot of PC games, with performance stats on the display and I'm not seeing any sort of burn-in.
Sadly mine had a screen defect after 2 years and 7 months and it wonât turn on,they told me the screen could be replaced for 1876 dollars which is ridiculous I got mine around 1500 dollars
Hi, can you tell me exactly how many hours? Thanks
@@SAM-ol5ip A new TV it is, then.
Thanks for you I'm still loving my G1!! Such a Fantastic TV!!
My 65â C1 is just over 14 months old and itâs performing flawlessly. Not a single issue with it. Used mainly for movies, sport and gaming. Wont buy anything but LG OLED from now on.
Hi Paul, I hope you are all well,
I had my 2000 hour notification and subsequent pixel clean a week or two ago, everything seems to be ok, touch wood,
Thanks for the update pal.
cheers paul
Love my G2
All good Thanks again Paul.
Nice burn in test video. I'm curious, what OLED Pixel Brightness level was the tv set on?
Great content as usual
@@reviewforthetube6485 dont be a hater because u hate ur crap life.
I don't have to finish the whole video to know the content TBH. He is doing same from time to time.
Thank you so much đ
I just wanted to say thank you
Love u tech giant!
My CX 65 inch is 3010 Hours and spend a ton of hours gaming around 10 hours day/+More and night, watch movies, Reg TV and so on. Have my CX for 2 1/2 years. Getting the LG C3 65 inch soon and giving my 65-inch CX to my mom and dad. Thanks the update vid Tech Giant.
Thanks for this test Paul. I've been considering an OLED as a monitor as the tech has been steadily improving and this test helps a lot.
You will absolutely love it. I have the C1 55" and it is by far the best TV I have ever had in my life! Zero complaints!
@@saintkenny9296 - Awesome. I had been holding out on getting an OLED but I think it's about that time đ
Agreed, you will love it. I picked up a B-grade 42" LG C2 from John Lewis to use as a PC monitor. It's gorgeous, feature-packed and gets more use than my 4k projector.
â@@Kryptic1046I was the same way like you, but I just got Sony A95K & it's everything. Get a OLED!
Hello Mr Techgiant!What video or what test do you use on TV?
Nice đ
Great test Paul, and good to know. Love my LG OLED, and so itâs also not missed a beat.
Using LG cx for ~2 years now as a monitor, zero issues/no burn in.
I had my cx for 2 years burn in already how do you not have burn in I am a heavy gamer and did leave my xbox lego up when I fell asleep
Our C1 just went over 2000 hours which trigger the big pixel refresh. We noticed improved uniformity after it ran especially with solid grays under 10 pct.
I'm at around 11,800 hours (as PC monitor) on my LG 55B9 and I too have no signs of burn in. In fact I don't think I have ever been prompted to run a manual pixel refresh either, but that automated one which takes only 5-10mins runs every night when I go to bed
What I have noticed recently however is dead subpixels:
Red ~ 15
Blue ~ 10
Green and White ~ 30
The red and blue are completely separate but the green and white ones match up with each other perfectly, and they're mostly along the left edge, some at the bottom and a few green/white across the top - all either right at the edge or within 5 or so pixels from the edge of the panel though
It certainly is a worrying amount to find, but given I use a messy arrangement of floating windows rather than docked/full screen they've likely been dead for a very long time without me even noticing. In fact it was your old video on dead pixels showing up in my feed that made me even look for them to begin with.
I suppose as long as they stay right next to the edge and are dead pixels rather than stuck on, I don't really mind.. if it gets worse I can just lower the desktop resolution slightly đ€·ââ
Wouldn't recommend resizing 4k content like that but everything I do is resizable anyway like web browsers, office apps, graphic/3D design and gaming
What are your speakers? Look really great
My LG C2 42 inch has 2810 hours and it's been fantastic, zero complaints. The HDMI cable is key.
You mean buying high quality hdmi will help maintaining tv for longer ?
@@shkarazad97 For many years I had been using an HDMI cord that did give a picture on the screen it was very unreliable when turning on the screen and getting that signal from my computer. I changed to a different cable and it works everytime I turn on my screen. Linus Tech tips has a video on HDMI cords and most of them fail many tests. I brought the one brand he recommended and I couldn't be happier and they aren't expensive either.
Am close to 1500hrs of screen time. Brightness and contrast maxed out. No issues so far on the C2.
Hey Paul thanks for the vid, I've just picked up a G2 and I've found 2 dead sub pixels in red and blue, not sure how common they are to find on the G2 out the box, if you had found any in your testing would you of put a warranty claim in?
I would try a Manuel pixel refresh first. Recently bought a c2 that had dark spots all over the screen. Pixel refresh resolved the issue.
Definitely try the pixel refresh. My C2 had shadowing happening really bad. Quick run of the refresh and it was perfect
I mean 2000 hours is like 6-7 months for me but that is decent results. Do you think Sonys enhanced processors and maybe features would help delay burn in on their displays better ?
No, Sony OLEDs are worse, I've had the experience
Not sure if LG stepped up their game, or if I won the panel lottery, but my G3 is the cleanest panel I ever had out the box!
Hello, Paul. How are you doing pal? All good in the hood I hope. Anyways, I hit my 2000hr mark 2 months ago on my 65inch LG G1. That's when it did its first ever pixel refresher itself, you know every 2000hrs. I always do a 5% grey scale & color test every month & its still looking like I just purchased it. Seriously, Paul. But I don't have my TV on all day, so that helps me a lot. But I'm still upgraded to that 65inch LG G3 hopefully on black Friday November. đđ»
Hi Paul
Iv looked In the TV information settings and for some reason the part that shows TV hours is not there I have the oled 65G2.
Would the information be hidden somewhere else đ€
what's your brightness settings giant? also very prominent pink taint on left side of tv
OK, so the refreshing algorithm seems to work and there are no uniformity issues, but it would be interesting to know how much overall brightness loss there is, since the algorithm works by dimming the less used pixels to the level of the more used ones. Even if there are no uniformity issues, the screen will get dimmer over time.
Nice test.
It's good to see that the panel protection tech works great. The panel of this LG G2 Oled looks clean, maybe cleaner than the average Lcd/Led, that's impressive! Well done LG! It's good to have peace of mind and no worries about the tv.
Thanks Paul.
According to some information i found online - Samsung is interested for the supply of LG OLED panels, Samsung wants to use LG Oled panels for their tvs! Negotiations with LG Display started, lets see if they'll make a deal.
It's not the first time that this happens, the previous time it was no deal 'cause Samsung made a hard bargain!
Paul always gets the best stuff and the cleanest panels!
Bought a C2 last week after my 55c6V started to burn (6-7 years old) - i was 50 50 in the shop with an led....but hey ive got it now....see how it goes i suppose!
Hi Paul, will you ever check for the latest LG OLED C1 03.34.80 update please? đ I don't know if I can use it. Thank you and good luck đ
all five of my oleds have got dead pixels, not just 1 or 2 , i mean they are everywhere all over the display. good to see the newer g series panels are doing better
What is latest model of them?
what is your brighness level? I think it depends on brightness, risk for burn-in happens on max brightness.
Iâve had my G2 for 3 months now and Iâve put on 169 hours on it and it looks great. My average usage will be around 800 hours per year of mixed use but itâs the only tv I game on.
How do I see the hour count? Have a evnia 42'' here right now to test and will probably swap it to c2 for glossy coating
Recently got a ps5. Using on my lg c9 needless to say I now want oled for my pc. Itâs just that good for gaming!
krp500m is my wet dream
That white screen looks pretty good. No pink tint on left hand side? Normally the 65â panels are notorious for it.
Mine has the pink tint. Only shows up on pure white screen so I'm trying to ignore it đź
I have had a 65â G2 and a 65â C2 panel and both of them have had a little pink tint on the left. The tint did fade a little after two weeks on the G2.
The 55â G2 was flawless out of the box.
So common yet didn't hear a peep of it from any reviewers..
I get a flash of green maybe every 10 hours of video (single frame & on a 50% window from center) while streaming on netflix and Disney plus native apps.
After 2 years my Oled C9 i started to notice dead pixel around the sides unfortunately LG in my country didn't help me at all they said to me is "if the warranty expired there's nothing we can do" :(
And also where can you see hours TV been used.Checked the whole settings,canât find on mine.
I started to have problems with LG Oled with Diablo 4 in under 120 hours of totally played!
Have you had any eye strain issues, headaches when watching Lgc2 tv..
How can I do the test on my c2 ?
Just keep rotating content from games to movies to tv to gaming again won't have no burn in problem at all had OLEDs for many many years now and you can pull up the hours with no worries
My C1 hit 2000 hours last week. Did the refresh and just did the same types of tests you did in this video Paul. And I am happy to report zero issues. That all being said. I heard that LG dropped 120 BFI on their 2023 OLED tv's. Have you heard that as well Paul?
That's great to hear mate.
As for news on the 2023 models.
I've done my very best to shy away from info about them, until I get my hands on one đ
@@TheTechGiantCZcams yeah mate would be like opening xmas pressies knowing whats inside lol
C2 didn't have 120Hz BFI either...
I have the same TV, and got a vertical white line after 6 months of use đ€Ł
Will work on retro consoles eg sega saturn or wii u or a dream cast or nintendo 64 xbox 360?
They will. I have to say though personally the motion on OLED at 30hz is truly awful.
The games shake back and forth when the camera pans creating a messy image that simply doesn't look good in motion.
60hz and higher gaming is great, 30hz is bad.
For retro consoles you REALLY need to get a plasma. You get perfect blacks like an OLED, it's native 1080p and it has amazing motion clarity at 30hz.
OLED TVs are definitely meant for modern consoles. 120hz gaming, can't beat em. Even 60hz is better than a LCD.
30hz on a plasma though has more clarity than 60hz on an OLED! At 60hz they are close, plasma is still better though.
Only at 90-120hz does OLED surpass 30hz plasma lol.
Look for a pioneer or a Panasonic if you have a choice.
Once you get a OLED and a plasma you'll have the best for retro and the best for new games.
Iv been babying my LG C1 OLED day one and have over 5000 hours on mine with zero burn in. I have had to use pixel clean feature to fix retention but thats about it. Otherwise its been great and still holds up today. Great TVs they are and cant wait to upgrade to the next Gen OLED TV.
Good to hear that it still looks mint with 5000 hours on the clock
@@TheTechGiantCZcams Should I choose LG 65G2 or Samsung 65QN900b?
Does it lose brightness over time?
I play a lot of FIFA on my G2 and was worried about image burn in (score HUD). But after about 6 months no issues
How can I know how many hours my C2 has ? I was looking for this information and I didn't know how to find it out
I am tired of noisy grainy image when i play a movie on netflix or amazon plz suggest how could o get rid of it
I have a C2 and I get the nosiy grainy images on some movies in the white or gray parts of the movies. Also on some of my games on Xbox Series X like MW2 or Dead Island 2. I get freaked out cause nobody else ever mentions it happening to them. I don't know if it's normal or not but either way kinda disappointing.
Im well over 2000 hours but, never got the pixel cleaning notification for my C2...
Soon to be G3 hopefully đ I have had my C2 for a year or so no idea how many hours itâs been
Yes, fingers crossed đ€
Check settings then about television and you will see the amount of hours after you scroll down
Hi, how to check TV on ours ? I have LG G2.
It all depends on what you listening. Screen Burn Is Still Real with Gaming. Yes Apex static energy white bars burned my OLED CX. Itâs burned.
Apex burns oled.
Will it work your oled tv
I bought a42" from a guy that put 1300 hrs on it.. It still looks stunning.. Except i think it's getting ghosting or something during my gaming
Just got my g2 65 today for $1,600 now setup lights and mounting đ
That's an incredible buy. You yanks get some incredible deals.
@@totalplonker824 u know it
I donât even use my TV for more than an 2 hours a day after coming home. So Iâd easily get at least three years of use with minimal burn in
Hello TG
Just had to have my new Panasonic Oled replaced due to a bright spot in the corner. It was occasionally visible in normal content and showed up even on 50% grey slides. A shame cus the panel was great otherwise đą
Hope you have better luck with the next one
My G2 started to have issues after 5,000 hrs. My C7 had issues after 7,000 hours.
How r they now? What is the problem u encountered?
@@SharedAccount-yz9zb It was burn in.
@@DeepDishPizza ah okay, so now do u still have them around? If yes, then how do they hold up today and is burn-in causing any hindrance or problem during the watching time?
@@SharedAccount-yz9zb Yes the burn in was bad and was hindering me from watching anything. Therefore, no more OLEDs for me ever again. My neighbor has 900 hrs on his C2 and he also has burn in. He doesnât watch news or anything. He paused an image for less than a minute and then it burned in. Same issue I had.
This test seems to be a bit early for a lifetime test as I understood it was. Who would expect Oled burn in only after 2000 hours? heck these newer oled can do everything between 60k to 120k hours right? myself running LG Oled 48" 4k 48GQ900 as PC monitor and done 1700hours with NO regard of static pictures nor brightness reduction. this is my first Oled monitor so I will be be a bit carefull stating facts here. nevertheless I believe there is a high and unrealistic fear in Oled burn in in this modern market. I dont think people realise how much 60k hours is or even 100k hours considering seeing people taking all these precautions to prevent the burn. I will atleast for my self enjoy the awesome Oled picture at its fullest at every moment, instead of restricting the screen and such as I believe it will last long enough to prove its value :)
Idk why a tv might have a burn issue in the first place?! 2000 hours is very low, bcs when u buy a tv u intend to have that tv for 3-5 years right?
On the same image? Weird way to watch TV.
@@kafka0622 wtf 2000 hours means in different channels bruh
@@kafka0622 2000 hours overall wdym in the same image?
@@BLUE...RED....BLACK000 My point is that 2000 hours with normal behavior (i.e. not playing the same game or watching the same channel with an overlay) this is exactly what you should see. Doubling the amount of hours with the same usage patterns will likely give the same results. No burn in. This guy games a lot on the TV and yet still no burn in.
I think about buying an OLED. Although some owners complain of auto dimming that can ruin TV experience. Is this true ?
I've had my b9 oled for around 3 years. Never noticed it.
@@adji69 That gives me hope. Besides, nobody would buy if it was a major issue.
I have 10k+ hours on a C1, still looks the same.
I wonder what the average lifespan would be on a C1
I know its obvious but those test you can find on CZcams if you didnt already did the test there, and 2000 hours should be take years to reach in screen on time
ItÂŽs interesting for science, but as long as you donÂŽt notice anything in normal watching thereÂŽs no need to think about it.
Pleased to report I just passed - 8000 hours - on my 2020 65 inch LG CX and no issues - yet. Use = all tv mixed viewing / no gaming . . . yet.
Nice one
Well, youd hope that there is no burn in after just 2000 hours. 2000 hours is not much at all for a display.
2000 hours how about 80,000 hours. *laughs in plasma tv
Clean up did not make much of difference your test video quality. It could mean there was no appreciable degradation after 2K hours, to begin with. And, that should be a good news for all LG OLED owners.
I use screen at least 12-15hours a day, OLED is just not for me )
a little too early show us this at 8-12k hours as thats about how long oleds typically last also it isnt âburn inâ like on crt it is permanent pixel death big difference
my lg tv has7956 hours
I don't know about OLED but I did burn a Plazma tv using it as a monitor for years. Moving the icons and search bar around once in a while will help prevent it, make sure it goes to sleep quickly and choose static images that don't have alot of contrast for example don't have a white search bar and a black wallpaper, use a high hud opacity in games ect, just common sense stuff. It takes alot of negligence to burn a screen
I shouldn't be watching this having just purchased a C2 lol
GTA 4 definitive edition is coming soon!
Sta cemo sa tim starim GTA 4 da radimo Stefi brate??đ
Dude, burn in typically doesn't appear until at least double that amount of time - 4000+ hours minimum unless very badly abused. I wouldn't assume anything at this point, it's too early. Varying your content could keep the burn in away and you may never get any, or in another year or two if careless too often you could still end up with nasty burn in on that TV.
Crap...I average 80hrs a week on my S95B I just got last week...will reach 2000 hrs in 25 weeks...only 6 months time and Im using it for everything, probably more normal TV, except for a PC monitor...
How are you liking it as a monitor?
So 2000 hours would be only about year and 2-3 months for me in terms of my usage which is about 4-5 hours average (sometimes 8-10 sometimes 1-2 so we can average it to about 4-5 hours).

If an OLED, especially new gen OLED, burns in within 2000 hours, it is simply a defective panel from the factory. New OLEDs should be designed for 8hrs/day minimum, 3000h/year minimum usage in mind, and expected to last 9000-15000 hours before burn in happens.
Pushing 6000 hours on c1 no problems next few months will be use it more just had heart surgery the best choice I've made on a TV
Had a Samsung before burn in on it done with Samsung TV'S
