Default OLED Light

Just purchased an LG OLED 65CX Series tv. Just wondering what is a safe number to set the OLED Light at? Reason asking is scared of turning up too high and having a risk of burn in. Right now have set at 80.

Hey. It's been said that the most you need to have is up to 50 for the OLED light as you get enough of a good use of your OLED. Anything higher than 50 has more of a risk of your television in getting a burn-in. For more check out this thread:

Yeah room isn't very bright even during day. Turning the backlight down to 50. Thanks for your guys answers. First OLED I have owned and don't want to mess it up. Was able to get a warranty that covered burn in for two years.

I just purchased a 77CX, my 3rd oled. Oled light is set at anywhere from 50 - 90 on SDR depending upon what I'm watching and if I'm using BFI. HDR content is set at 100. Based on my past experiences, I have no issue or fear setting oled light this high.

SDR Content should be limited to the lowest level OLED light that matches your room's lighting to have a clear image (in my opinion the real risk of burn in will occur here).
- Dark Room Setting - 20
- Light Room Setting - 40

Trust me, it may feel weird at first but you WILL get used to it, and getting a more accurate representation of the original image rather than having a bunch of false lighting/procesing (like eating natural food and tasting the actual ingredients vs the salty and carby sauces of fast food)

HDR should be 100, Dolby Vision should be 50 from what I remember

Just wondering if the/your Light Room Setting is for a room with light/sunlight from outside or only lamplight?

I live alone so i can control my lighting completely - but I have a large window next to me which i tend to close the blinds halfway during the day when watching, nighttime viewing i turn on a side to the side of my living room which is dim and slightly affects the experience but nothing to really worry about - tbh it's been a while since I used the brighter preset since getting used to the darker oled light setting

Thank you for replying. Sounds like my situation. Watch mostly when it's still light outside, so use Bright Room Setting the most. Have it at 50 now with sunlight coming in. Will slowly try and reduce it to 40.

I keep mine at 30 in a completely dark room. I've had my panel for 3 1/2 years with no burn-in issues.
