“Is there a burn problem with LG OLED TVs. Is there a way to avoid it? Is the problem similar to the old computer monitors or plasma Tvs where you needed to change the channel periodically to move any static logos.”

OLED is a self-emissive technology, which brings many significant benefits to image quality and performance. As with any self-emitting display, it is possible for users of OLED TVs to experience temporary image retention under certain conditions, such as when displaying a static image on the screen for a long time. Even so, this phenomenon is rare under ordinary viewing conditions and is not a malfunction. OLED TV offers a function called Pixel Refresher, which helps to prevent temporary image retention. This function can be operated automatically or manually. The auto feature will activate when the TV power is turned off, but only after the TV has been turned on for a cumulated total of four (4) hours or more, which need not be consecutive. Pixel Refresher will automatically run for several minutes after the screen is turned off. (Please note that failure to supply the AC power or disconnecting the power cord from the outlet will disable the auto feature.) In addition to Pixel Refresher, there are other functions available for protecting the screen from image retention. For example, a function that automatically reduces the screen brightness level, in part or in whole, will be activated when a static image is displayed uninterrupted on the screen. Once the static image disappears, the brightness level will automatically return to the previous level. This function is an intended function, and not a malfunction. ^CP
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven’t had any issues with this. I’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 a lot and haven’t seen any burn in. I think you would have to leave it in the same screen for hours to have that happen. The TV has built in screen savers and senses when the image has been on the screen for too longwithout movement and will switch to them.
