Kids pushing oled screen, how fragile is it?

[Zero80]

Hello.

I have a oled LG 55" c8 from 2018.

Today it happened for the first time that my soon 3 years old kid suddently pushed both hands with force right into the front of the screen while it was on.

No pixels went down and the front glass is not cracked. Question is how worried should i be about the TV, how much can it take, and is it possible to damage it even it’s nothing wrong to see on the outside?
No harm to see and TV should be good?

I have no idea how the Oled works and how fragile it is behind the glass, but from earlier i know LCD screens seems to take some beating without issues. Is oled more fragile?

Anyway i think she understanded it and it probably wont happen again but im still worried.

Best regards Ray.

It looks as though you dodged a bullet there but yes, modern LCD and OLED screens are very fragile so take steps to make sure as far as possible it doesn’t happen again.

Wouldn't worry, my daughter is 11 years old, disabled with no speech or understanding, she regularly beats the sh*t out of my oled with excitement, slapping both hands on it.
never been a problem..

used to look bad on my old lcd as entire screen flashes white when knocked.

Bet she loved that E6 even more than I do Should cancel your A9G and put it back in the living room for her Or if you want to be a really good dad, buy mine off me for what I paid originally so she can enjoy it in non-portable size, and I can get myself a HZ1000, a PS5, Series X and a modest PC

But yeah I wouldn't worry, especially if she hasn't hurt herself, doubt she's used anywhere near enough force to damage it.

Thanks for the replies!

Yes safety first offcorse and our kids is much more valuble then a expensive TV.
But im the kinda guy that taking good care and worry it would take damage, i treat it with care and it shocked me, then i know it could take a beat without be damaged inside, would guess it’s very advanced behind the glass, what i fear most is pixels that light up different colors, but again i doubt it would happen again since she understanded it was wrong thing to beat.

I'd be more concerned over it tipping; as it's presumably stand mounted if your 3 yr old can reach it - unless early baller!
Not sure if C8 has anti tip holes on back to secure strap to wall to? Maybe worth looking, as kids were known to cause tipping with flat panels with lethal results and hence EU Law to add and mention in instruction booklets - when we used to get them...

Peppa Pig has much to answer for - that exciting piece of prime meat.

Tis why I always wall mount mine

Yes it wont tip forward since the foot is very wide and some kinda stand in front of the tv, and it’s placed a bit higher up then usual, so they can only reach the bottom of it
