LG OLED Official Owners Thread

[RyanMatthew]

I keep my OLED value at 40, too.

[smeemi]

Im getting my LG W7 65" OLED Wallpaper TV professionally ISF calibrated tomorrow. Has anyone had this done before on a 7 series LG and if so, what benefits did you get from it?

He's going to do a day, night, HDR and Dolby Vision setting. I currently use ISF expert bright room, ISF expert dark room, and cinema home for both HDR and Dolby Vision settings with all those LG additional settings like trumotion switched off.

What would you like? Before and after?

I don't have a camera besides my phone so I doubt it'll look much different.

Roll on tomorrow.. see what £250 gets..

Enjoy your tv no matter what you have your oled light set to

I’m just trying to do whatever I can to avoid image retention. Like I said earlier, it only ever happens with SDR blu-rays. I’ve never had any image retention with HDR or DV content from UHD discs, or even SDR content from my cable box. Only regular blu-ray discs and it’s getting frustrating.

You're being paranoid, crank up that oled light

Is technicolor mode the same as 'standard' mode or 'reference' mode?

Technicolor is the same as cinema or expert mode.

Hmm, I have no problem with image retention and I have gamed on for about 5/6 hours straight no retention, but I do my gaming on a pc monitor 144hz, I only watch Blu Ray or 4K HDR on my B7 so oled light 37 for SDR and 100 for HDR10 and 50 for DV.

So Technicolor is the same as ISF Expert Dark or Bright room in our 2016 models?

no it's not....it is a separate mode that was part of the firmware update a while ago. You could adjust settings to make a lot of the modes look very similar. I do not believe it is available on the 2016 OLED updates.

So you finally gave in to the dark side

picture modes

each are 'precisely different' :: 'its in the details' (adjustments)

rough guideline :: standard and vivid - Bright Room (generally) are for less critical viewing and lean more towards bright room conditions viewing or brighter picture and more (unnaturally) saturated colors

rough guideline :: (cinema - Technicolor - ISF Day/Night) :: they lean towards a more accurate/optimal picture quality (think :: calibration) :: although they do differ (a contradiction?), they share in common an inherent intent to provide viewing as 'should be expected' for the best possible picture quality :: so, if you scan through them, you will notice differences, but a similarly 'improved picture quality' :: of these, if using without modification to their respective settings, just use whichever you prefer for whatever reason(s) and enjoy your viewing

point :: Technicolor and standard are entirely different and have dissimilar goals

makes no sense :: the LG OLED (7-Series) displays have processes in place to essentially prevent 'burn in' (especially HD/SDR Blu-ray) :: unless you're unusually abusive (which seems you're not) you should not be experiencing any issues


Screen Shift (turn it on) :: it's intention is to prevent performance issues as you're experiencing :: once turned on, the process is automatic, working after viewing when you're not watching anything
Pixel Refresher (use regularly? - in your extreme issues, use it daily?) :: it's a more aggressive implementation that is manual' requiring that you initiate the process yourself - each time

Settings - Picture - OLED Panel Settings (go to) :: this is the location of these settings

note :: i highly recommend review/familiarizing yourself with the settings/performance of you Blu-ray player (that's all that i can think of) :: perhaps borrow a different player from a friend for a quick comparison/evaluation?

LG OLED (2017 & 2018) :: i see no need to wait; both of these years of production (especially) essentially 'will not result in burn in' given that your viewing behavior is not 'abusive/extreme', which is 'highly unlikely' :: normal viewing 'you will not' experience any issues

gaming? :: just be 'more careful' and 'proactive' with regards to monitoring your behavior and screen condition (see my recent previous post - #3599 - with regards to settings)

I really want an OLED, but this has me rethinking, or maybe wait and see if they improve next year. i also want to do 4k gaming at some point.

I wish I was, but there’s image retention on every single blu-ray I watch, and that’s it. Never wth gaming, never with my cable box, never with UHDs. Only blu-rays and even with my OLED light that low.

I have screen shift turned on, but have yet to use the pixel refresh feature. Also I’ve experienced this using two different players. The issues only ever happen with blu-rays and that’s it.

.

It sounds like a faulty panel then. Never heard any pro calibrator who works with oled making those same observations. Oled Light should be able to go higher than 16 wihout issues
.

[jibucha]

honestly, it makes no sense (highly confusing)

is it correct that this is with the LG (C7/UP970)?

personally, i am quite confused regarding this information

possibly? :: try watching your movies in movie mode on the UP970?

perhaps? :: try reviewing 'all your settings' on both display/player? (perhaps something might explain this?)

note :: nothing to add
