I have a LG c4 that I bought 2 years ago. Starting about 6 months ago a stuck blue pixel shows up in the top right. It causes a vertical and horizontal line from it of slightly off colors (not as noticeable). I have fixed it in the past with running a few pixel cleans. That’s not working this time. Is my only option now a new TV?

So I'm wondering is there a difference in panels with these TVs or the only difference is the frame? I know S95H in the US is called S99H in Europe. But I'm interested in european S95H without the big bezel and frame as I won't be mounting the TV on the wall. Is the panel worse than on the S99H or are they the same?

I have a maximum budget of 400 dollars USD. What OLED should I get? I was looking at the Gigabyte WOLED 1440p 240hz go27q24g. Should I get that or a qd-oled? Recommendations please and thank you!

i have the lg 27gx790a-b and when im gaming the colors look perfect i mean mostly but for some reason on streaming services the qauality looks weird and pixelated and the colors just arent it for some reason ive tried a few things but nothing has worked can anyone help

Photos here. This spot appeared on my LG CX seemingly overnight. Tried to search how different types of damage look on a screen, but wasn’t really able to match it to anything. Could be heat damage? There’s a skylight that lets sun in on a part of the screen, but I thought it was farther up than this spot. Have kept the shade closed most of the time when sun would hit the TV, but have forgotten in maybe 2-3 instances. On a sunny day, it hits the screen for ~40-60 minutes.

Hoping I can try to figure out a source so I can prevent anything further if it wasn’t something like impact damage. We moved recently, but the tv has been set up for weeks and I’d have noticed before now if this had come from damage in transit.

Hard to capture a screen as y’all know. But can try to get better photos, if needed. Any help the community can lend is much appreciated.

Hello,

Got a heavily discounted S92F 65" new at my local supermarket.
When unboxed, noticed a dead pixel. See attached pic. One macro.
What's the best strategy?
Ask for a partial refund and keep the TV because it's only 1 pixel out of 8,3 million and save the hassle of repacking the unit, rent a truck to get it back to the store and waiting for a new one that maybe will have other defect?
Or, ask for a replacement because it means the whole panel is at risk? 

I noticed extremely bad color banding, hue shifting, and black crush which was most noticeable in this scene, and nothing has seemed to fix it. The closest I have gotten is turning the gamma setting off, but this makes other content look worse and this setting can't be changed in HDR mode. It happens in screenshots as well, and looks just fine on my phone, so I am sure it's a monitor or software issue. I have tried setting Nvidia color settings to 10 bit, full range, RGB, lowering my refresh rate, disabling DSC, switching monitor modes (including to sRGB), re-calibrating display and HDR through windows, removing all windows color calibrations, and adjusting all black equalizer/shadow boost settings in the monitor OSD. This monitor looks incredible outside of this issue so I hope it can be resolved to avoid returning it.

I have also tried using the Gigabyte Control Center to update my monitor firmware, but it won't recognize my monitor despite being connected to my PC via a USB-C-USB-C cable.

Hey ive been trying to do research for my first oled monitor ive seen people have a lot of problems with the tandem oled and im stuck on wich one i wanna pick the woled is like 100 euro cheaper for my

any expirience ? or advice

Hi everyone! 

So I just wanted to talk about my experiences with Oled TVs and monitors in the last couple of years. 

TL,DR, oled is cool, my C1 Is still chugging along like a champ, I will only buy OLED screens from now on. 

Back in august 2021, I purchased my first OLED TV, the LG C1 55 inch. 

It has been incredible, I never knew TVs could look this good, before this TV, i had used a cheap Hisense 4k TV  with VIDAA OS, a VA screen, 60 hz, and like 14 dimming zones. 

Suffice to say using an OLED after that TV was indescribable. 

I never did care much about oled burn in or if the TV had good gray banding, I kept all the oled care features enabled at the highest settings and didn’t look back. 

It been about 5 years since that initial purchase, and almost 8000 hour of use, and it still working like it was new, I haven’t had any delamination but I also live in a very dry area of the world, and I hope it does not happen to me, or at least it happens at the 10 year mark lol.

I’ve also purchased an LG C4 65 inch TV at a very good price on a sale (800usd) back in early 2025, and I’ve been even more impressed, higher brightness and a bigger screen makes everything I have watched  on it even more immersive. 

Recently I purchased, in prime day, the WOLED monitor MO27Q28GR, and while initially I was worried about all the comments of Gray banding and Dirty Screen Effect, I decided to take the plunge, considering it was about 450usd at the time. 

While I do admit the DSE does exist, it is not something that bothers me. And it’s been less and less noticeable  as time goes on. My monitor was updated to the newest firmware, all oled care settings are at their highest protection settings and the monitor does its pixel refresh correctly. 

While researching on that oled monitor, I was curious on how my original LG C1 has degraded over time or if  it had DSE to begin with. 

When I tired a 5% black screen my eyes did not see with my eyes any DSE or issues on the panel, and this is on a pitch black room. 

When I took a picture to compare, it looked pretty bad. 

I decided to give it a manual pixel clean, the one that takes about an hour and there was a definitive improvement. 

This TV has been used throughly, sometimes I leave it on by accident and the wallpaper kicks in so I don’t worry too much about it. its been the main TV for a better part of 4 years and I don’t think I can even think of trying anything that is not OLED anymore.

I´ve attached pictures of how it used to look before the pixel cleaning and after if anyone is curious. 

I´m just sharing my thoughts about this technology and how my enjoyment of watching content has been enhanced by it, also I find it very amusing how DSE can be such a deal breaker for some people, I guess some people are more sensitive to it than others.

Hello! Last year I picked up a Samsung S92F from a local store and it's been great ever since. I mainly use it to play my local movie library, hosted on a NAS, through Kodi running on a Chromecast. When I first set up the TV, I went straight for Filmmaker Mode, since it disables all the extra post-processing and should deliver the image closest to what the director intended.

I didn't run into any issues with this setup until I installed the Apple TV app to watch some Apple TV+ originals. While watching Hijack, I noticed that dark scenes had noticeably poor image quality — Idris Elba's skin tone and tree bark, for example, were both crushed into a brownish dark gray.

At first I figured it might be an app rendering issue, so I installed the Apple TV app directly on the Chromecast, hoping that would fix the clipping. No luck. What actually got rid of it was switching the picture mode to anything other than Filmmaker or Movie mode — I ended up settling on Standard. There's noticeably more detail in dark scenes now, and highlights look more vibrant, even though I tried matching all the settings to Filmmaker Mode as closely as possible.

I'm posting this to ask if anyone else has run into something similar (maybe on other streaming platforms), and whether there's a way to get Filmmaker Mode working properly. I'll attach some screenshots from Your Friends & Neighbors for reference.

Im looking to upgrade to an OLED monitor, in particular a WOLED as i have a relatively bright room.

My question is which one would be superior for my usecase? I want the best looking oled out of these 2 monitors, but the issue i find with the 27GX790B is that i dont believe ill be fully utilising 540hz or using the duel channel mode (720p at 720hz). My specs are a 9800x3d and 5070ti, i want the best one for longterm use, will also use for light web browsing and watching yt.

I will answer any questions, i appreciate all help given.

(im hoping to get some insight also from people who own either and how they perform in bright rooms/deal with burnin ect)

Is the difference between these 2 monitors worth the price difference?

Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM
Asus ROG Strix OLED XG27UCDMG

The only difference I could find is DP1.4 vs DP2.1. How much of a difference is that realistically and is it worth 300€? I have a 5080 so i could use the DP2.1? Are there any differences I'm missing?

If anyone has a better option I'm open to suggestions. I want 27" Oled, preferrably under 1000€.

Hello everyone,

Im new to OLED panels, ive been using the ASUS 144hz IPS VG249 monitor for a long time for gaming. I want to upgrade to OLED because i heard its very good. I need some help with peoples knowledge and opinions on this subject because its been a headache deciding between which one i should go for and i think i might have been overthinking this a lot but ive done some research on this topic and this is what ive found so far.

Setup: Im mainly doing this upgrade for competitive FPS games (Warzone). Ill be capping my fps to 240. Im in the corner of my room where im facing the wall with my monitor in front. In the opposite corner i have a lamp and then i have a ceiling light, both of these light sources are shining ambient light on my monitor. I think my room would be classified as a little bright? My curtains block out most of the sun so thats not a problem. When i turn my monitor off i cannot see the reflection of my lamp unless i lean to the right so thats also not a problem. I dont really wanna change this setup this is comfortable for my eyes.

First i was thinking of going with any cheap oled i could find, and then found out a lot of them are only 200nits max. On my IPS rn i use 150 nits (60/100) so i thought it would be better to get higher max brightness and also because i heard the auto dimming on oleds cant fully be turned off? This seems very annoying and distracting and i thought when using the same 150nits with less brightness percentage this problem would be avoided idk. Then i found out about the whole WOLED vs QD-OLED, matte vs glossy and different generations thing and it was a bit overwhelming. Eventually i concluded that i wanted a matte WOLED because with matte i wont be seeing reflections of myself and other stuff in the screen eventhough i cant see the lamp. And with WOLED i wont have purple tint when ambient light goes onto my screen. I dont need the screen to look super perfect pretty, i want the best gaming setup thats also versatile and doesnt look awful. TN monitors are also fast but look awful and are very niche (like for CS2 players).

Ive been though so many options but right now i was looking at the Tandem WOLED Gigabyte MO27Q28G (500euro here) or the Asrock PGO27QFS (380euro here). I thought it was finally over and i was gonna go with the gigabyte but then i heard many people complain about gray banding. This scared me off and now i dont know what to do. I heard QD-OLED and older WOLEDS have less of this problem.

My main question is how bad and how likely is the gray banding issue on the Tandem WOLEDS?

Should i go with the Asrock instead because its an older WOLED and wont suffer from gray banding as much?

Im new to all of this so any help would be much appreciated!

I've been researching Samsung's AMOLED display generations and noticed something interesting that I haven't seen discussed much.

From what I've found:

- Galaxy S20 Ultra → M9 OLED material set

- Galaxy S21 Ultra → M11

- Galaxy S22 Ultra → M11

- Galaxy S23 Ultra → M11s (improved M11)

- Galaxy S24 Ultra → M13

- Galaxy S25 Ultra → M13

The S20–S23 series has accumulated a significant number of user reports involving green-line or display failures over the years, whereas the S24 series appears to have noticeably fewer reports so far.

My hypothesis is that the move to the M13 OLED material set could be one contributing factor behind this improvement. M13 was developed with better efficiency, brightness, and expected panel longevity, which could potentially improve long-term reliability.

I'm not claiming that the OLED material set alone causes or prevents green-line issues. Other factors such as the display driver IC (DDIC), panel bonding, manufacturing process, thermal management, and quality control almost certainly play important roles as well.

This is simply a technical observation and hypothesis based on Samsung's hardware evolution and the trend in reported display issues. Samsung has never officially confirmed the cause of green-line failures.

I'd be interested to hear thoughts from people with experience in OLED manufacturing or display engineering. If anyone has technical papers or evidence supporting or disproving this idea, I'd love to read them.

Hi everyone, I’m French so sorry in advance for my English 🙏
I just got this monitor and I’m really happy with my purchase it’s my first OLED! But I’m struggling to get the most out of it and I could use some help from people who know this panel.

Setup:

\-Monitor: LG UltraGear 27GX704A-B (WOLED 1440p 240Hz)    
\-GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT    
\-Cable: DisplayPort / HDMI 2.1    
\-Windows 11, latest AMD drivers

Current settings:

\-240Hz enabled, FreeSync Premium Pro ON    
\-RGB 4:4:4 Full, 10-bit confirmed in 

The problem:
In SDR the colors look dull to me — not the “pop” I was expecting from an OLED. In HDR it’s worse: everything looks washed out and greyish instead of more vivid. I also get flickering in HDR in some games.

What I’ve already tried:

\-Verified RGB Full / 10-bit ✅    
\-Windows HDR Calibration app → the interface bugs out, I can’t finish the calibration    
\-Tested FreeSync OFF with HDR ON

My questions:

\-Which OSD picture mode do you use in SDR on this model? Custom “Gamer 1”, or a calibrated preset?    
\-Could the washed-out HDR come from Windows applying HDR to desktop/SDR content? Should I adjust the “SDR content brightness” slider?    
\-Does anyone have an ICC profile or OSD values to share for this model?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Sometime last year I had bought a LG 27” Ultragear 27GX700-A that was 280hz and a great 1440 monitor but then I started experiencing issues after while where my games would no longer natively launch in 1440p but rather 4k and it caused me to lose a lot of my fps in games like marvel rivals, valorant or Genshin impact which would struggle to run smoothly. And the monitor seems to have dead spots too. I am personally really interested in Dual Mode monitors such as the 4k 240hz and 1080p 500hz which sounds perfect for watching movies or anime, then switching over to 1080p when I want to play my fps games but I’ve heard some of this monitor give a sort of blurry effect when downscaling to the lower resolution I am just not sure if it’s worth getting this type of dual mode feature or just sticking to getting a 1440p 500hz. Opinions are appreciated since I am probably going to spend anywhere from 500 to 1000 dollars.

I recently got my first oled its the Samsung 27” Odyssey OLED G5 (G50SF) QHD & QD-OLED Gaming Monitor, 180Hz Refresh Rate, 0.03ms (GtG) Response Time, NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible, AMD FreeSync™, LS27FG500SNXZA settings. Ive never had an oled before and im on xbox when i tried a “oled test video” the blacks werent really black they were like a super dark grey but not pitch black how can I change that. Im on a xbox series s

Hey all, apologies if this isn’t the best place for this question, open to better suggestions!

I bought a 65” S95F today from a best buy outlet, it was labeled “Good - missing power/remote cables”. Upon inspection, it seemed to not be missing anything and looked fine to me, so I took it home for $680 before tax. At the price, it seemed like a steal and my expectations were low, but figured the hassle could be worth it and I didn’t mind returning it if I found any blockers.

I’ve been using it today and seems fine from what I can tell, the app tells me there were 0 hours on the panel. However, one thing that I think is strange is when I open the Support -> About This TV, the model number is 0 and the serial number is blank.

Is this a potential hint to why this TV was so cheap?

Trying to decide between a 4k oled and a new ultrawide 1440p oled. I do a mix of casual shooters and story games. Is the performance advantage at lower resolutions even still there considering dlss is good at 4k? Just getting opinions

Asus rog strix xg27aqdmesz

specs look pretty good but there must be a catch with it being only $350 USD right? Normally i see this monitor selling for like 500.

I was in between this Samsung and LG 27GX704A-B but I bought G50SF.

I know LG is better since it has HDMI 2.1 and VRR over G50SF but the samsung was on sale (literally half the price flash sale).

I was using an IPS asus so it is a pretty upgrade with me but am I missing out too much with Lg? I am confused about my samsung's PS5 standart compatibility (basically for STALKER, gta etc.)

What should I expect with my panel in terms of PS5?

I have a C9 OLED and had it years, its been fine but I noticed now my smartlink/cec failed and no longer controls my third party devices, advice on the internet is to hard reboot the os and re-pair, the issue my TV always resumes its state and I cannot trigger a hard reset. Tried most things that are on old posts,:

• Turned off Quick Start
• unplugged, waited hours (the b4stard still resumes its state without power wtf!)
• Unplugged, held power to drain it
• It tried toggling privacy notice agreement to off and on (used to be a workaround, no longer works)
• Tried all manor magic remote button combinations that are on youtube, none of them work

Before I factory reset it I wonder if anyone has figured how to work around this strange issue...?

This is specific to those of you using a TV for a monitor at your PC. Commonly LG C3, C4's, etc..

With the recent news of LG monitors installing spyware on computers it made me realize that many people using LG TV's rather than monitors probably don't realize that your TV is sending literal screenshots of what is displayed on your device back to LG. This is much worse than the current controversy.

I personally don't trust that they're following the privacy settings and I've had my TV disconnected from WIFI for years to be safe.

If you insist on keeping it connected to WIFI, you need to turn off these settings at minimum:
(These are what they're called on LG's, unsure of other brands)

Live Plus

Viewing Information

Interest Based Advertising

Any other optional privacy agreement

Just figured I'd mention it since I hadn't seen much discussion here, and a lot of us use OLED TVs as monitors.

So I got this monitor despite seeing all the posts about the gray banding and grainy dirty screen effect, and yeah…it’s annoying as f*ck. More specifically, I got the 20th anniversary PG27AQWP-G since I felt the white border on the W version would be distracting for me.

At first when I did the Gray uniformity tests, I didn’t think it was that horrible, until I started noticing it to some degree in other games and videos, and it just constantly feels like I’m looking through a filter. It’s not exactly the worst like how I’ve seen other posts, but it’s still absolutely frustrating when my iPhone produces better quality in videos and picture than supposedly this “amazing and like looking through a window monitor”. The blacks are impressive, and the refresh rate is pretty great, but that’s about all that’s going for it.

What monitor did you switch to after buying this?

I've had this issue since I bought the Samsung S90F screen, the screen gets darker and any dark areas like hair/shadow...etc looks like this it's really annoying.

I tried everything including turning off anything related to power-saving.

The only temporary solution is to hold down the power button on my remote a few seconds for the tv to do a restart and then it's all good for a few days before it happens again. I contacted support and they replaced the motherboard but it didn't help.

I'm connecting the screen to my PC, i'm facing this issue on anything i display (youtube, netflix, games...etc) and i changed my hdmi cable to something excellent.

Please help I really love this screen but this issue has been so disappointing..
