One thing I appreciate about your videos is that you don't put obnxious music between segments like so many other channels on Youtube.
-
Excellent advice for OLED owners who didn't realise that thier OLED TVs need to left in standby to run there compensation Cycles!

Had my C1 for 2 months or so and I always turn the plugs off before bed. Thankfully I’ve just watched this video and won’t be switching it off from now on.

The automatic pixel refresher that LG Oled TVs do after being in standby usually takes no more than 10 minutes and during that time the TV consumes about 50W/H. After that, my LG 65BX is permanently consuming around 36W/H. That's why I disconnect it from the mains after at least 15 minutes in stand by.

We used to have to do something similar with the old Plasma Screen TV's from decades ago. It was a manual operation, to turn on the screen refresh, and the screen just looked like static snow. If you looked at the pixels up close, you could indeed see a programmed pattern. It was especially problematic in the AV business, where a screen would display a time stamp, or a logo for extended periods of time. Very hard to erase the after-image.

Your biceps are growing faster than LG releases their new OLED panels.

Of note, if you have Bias Lighting installed and it is plugged into the TV's USB port, this lighting will stay on when you turn your TV off and the automatic pixel refresh is active. Once it has finished the TV will completely power down and the Bias light will go off, so this is a great visual indicator for when it is doing this cycle. It would then be safe to unplug if you so desire.

Glad to learn this useful advice for my b8 series oled. Another reason why I have the mains hidden is to prevent the kids who couldn't care less about properly turning off the TV and simply shutting the switch. Now the kids have been reinforced with the idea to not leave the TV unattended without the red standby indicator or a parental lock would be imposed for the next viewing session. It works and certainly glad the TV does what it need to refresh the pixels.

Wow. This is a very important feature that I wasn't aware of. I have an older LG TV that has stopped working, so I'm looking at newer models. It's good to know that feature exists and that it only takes about seven minutes to complete. That should mean it's still OK to turn off the T.V. at the socket, when going away.
-
The only time i unplug it is if there is a big storm happening as I get worried i might get a lightening strike or something that could surge through the TV.
-
Unreal mate!!!! Just picked up a C3 77’’ and was worked about long term use, this is a MASSIVE help!!!!!
-
It doesn't really have to be plugged in all the time. When you switch off the TV the relais either clicks instantly or after like 5-7 minutes. In these 5-7 minutes the Pixel Refresher runs. So you just have to wait for that click and then can safely turn the power off. 😎🤟

Wow... I was not aware of this important feature.... Thank u so much I just brought LG C1.... Please keep on making such videos...helpful for us...
-
This video was recommended. Pure luck it was. Excellent info. I never knew, I am going to be buying an LG OLED for my new house. I would turn it off at the mains to stop idle power draw, as I do with nearly everything. You have a new sub.
-
Spot on with the answer at 2:00 minute mark. I was always wondering if it will stop you from using it or just skip that cycle if you switched it on when it started.
-
That’s very valuable information Paul. Thank you!
-
Recently purchased the G1 and was going to check the pixel refresher but as Paul said don't need to do anything.👍 thanks.
-
This happened to me last year, it was unplugged during a standby pixel refresh. After plugging it back in and switching it on, the screen had noticeable thin horizontal black lines on some parts of the display. After several days of use and a few standby pixel refreshes later, they had completely vanished.
-
I unplug mine during thunder storms and during power goes on and off"like do to high winds,this can go for hours,then I plug the tv back in" .Sorry I payed big money for my 65inc CX. Thanks Paul letting us know about this,and I will keep this info in mind in the future.
