Great news to hopefully lower panel prices,
Let's hope they improve uniformity on the larger 77" panels..
The latest examples of the cx 77" panels are shocking.
yeah that dude that checks panels needs to locate the light switch for that room..
@SimonST was telling me that John Lewis now also cover screen burn (stated on the website) on their added 5 year accidental cover planI would love to bite the bullet with an OLED, as a former Plasma owner. But I haven't parted with my cash because of the chance of screen burn and no guarantee that it won't happen. I have had image retention before on the Panny Plasma, when younger one left the PS3 on, but fixed it luckily after running some screen fix stuff on Youtube.
So I feel safer with an LED set, and sacrifice no true blacks. A new home awaits soon(fingers crossed, and I am looking for a 65".
Thanks for that. I can see that there is a get out clause they can use.@SimonST was telling me that John Lewis now also cover screen burn (stated on the website) on their added 5 year accidental cover plan
any small claims court would rip them in 2 if they tried to say you were watching stuff that wasn't to manufacturer reccomendations.Thanks for that. I can see that there is a get out clause they can use.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED?
If you don’t follow the manufacturer’s instructions and/or installation guidelines
I guess the point is, as it has been since OLED first arrived, that if you pay a few grand for a top tier TV you want it to last, you don't want to concern yourself about any extra costs to cover potential screen burn in or have to argue with the retail store management about whose liability it is if burn in happens, even though that store received a commission for the added product protection policy that they promoted and you bought.any small claims court would rip them in 2 if they tried to say you were watching stuff that wasn't to manufacturer reccomendations.
Even if its news channels with tickers on the bottom.. everyone needs to get the news right?
They just have no leg to stand on with that line.

LG and other brands have been given a lot of leniency with their warranties in recent years, just by making the wording legally ambiguous in their small print shouldn't absolve LG supplying a product fit for purpose, a product that the consumer should be able to use as they see fit, including viewing all types of content.
LG should be made responsible for replacing faulty panels, whatever the cause, for up to three years, which if you are prepared to invest time and money in litigation arguing about consumer rights laws protection you could be entitled to.
LG and other manufacturers know that most consumers wont bother doing this.
They probably just can't be doing with all the screen burn issues from desktop pcs.Am surprised LG has not worked from 27"+ size screens, really could dominate the entire computer monitor screen market well actually create it and make millions overnight surely.
48" is just a bit too big for PC or console gamers or for bedroom sized TVs, 40" or 43" is the right size imo.

Entire offices full of small 27" oleds all sitting with static taskbars etc all day long.
Myself I wouldn't be confident leaving bright static icons or bright static taskbars on for 40+ hours per week.Should the LG software tech like pixel refresher and pixel mover solve all those issues ?
Or guess its still a risky business venture given oled tech as you say

Not so bad for gaming I guess as most of the screen is changing frequently.
But if for productivity and you use the same app or whatever all day long every day I'd start to consider other options personally/unfortunately.
Panasonic seem very confident they have the solution to IR/Burn-in with the HZ2000. Is it time that LG, Panasonic and Sony team up to mass produce the heatsinks, hence lowering cost, increasing peak brightness of the OLED panels and reducing the incidence of burn in?
Sadly if this did happen, I'm betting it would further increase the prices given the HZ2000's current pirce.
Is this a common issue with LGs and other oleds with heat issues? I read panasonics use bigger heatsinks so have less failures.
Almost sounds like one needs to use some Silent Case fans or a laptop cooler strapped to the back of the oled screens !
