Mini or Micro? OLED is still going to beat out a Mini LED display.
Mini. That depends on the software.Mini or Micro? OLED is still going to beat out a Mini LED display.
It has nothing to do with software. Mini LED is still LCD with all the issues that come with the tech over the last two decades. It won't stack up to the black levels view angles, etc that OLED offers. OLED will still be better by the nature of both technologies.
They want £200 to have it replaced unfortunately.I had this problem happen too and I was four years out of warranty and LG replaced it for free. Not only that, the replacement panel was a 2020 panel. It's better than the one I had before, no more banding.
So it's definitely worth a try. I just contacted them via their support chat on their website.

In a few tests, HDTVTest has shown that in game mode, LED based screens have reduced backlight performance whereas OLED looks exactly the same in game mode and non-game mode... That is the reason why to me the LG OLEDs are the most desirable TVs for gamers.
This is me too. I fear I'd start replacing every panel in my house and I think I have something like 5 or 6.I think I'm better off never seeing one in person. I know I'll want one.
My cheap 4K set still blows me away. Though I do see where there could be improvements.
I can play games in the hundreds of hours and I watch a lot of CNN so burn in anxiety would be a thing for me as the anxious person I am anyways.

Your fear is real. We got a 55" CX back in November and put it in the living room. The 55" 1080p Sony LED that was in the living room went into our bedroom, replacing the 40" that was in there. The problem is I don't want to watch anything available in 4K HDR on the bedroom TV now. I have seriously thought multiple times about buying a CX for our bedroom as well. It just looks that good. I won't do it as its not necessary and its a significant amount of money to spend, but its really, REALLY tempting.
Yep, especially with newer sets is my understanding. Heck, I shared a Panasonic plasma with two stoner roommates in college who would often fall asleep playing games and don't have a hint of burn in on that set to this day (different tech, I know). One of them passed out with RDR on 360 on all night and nothing came of it.My C9 is spectacular, will have it for years to come. Burn in not an issue if you use your set like a sane person.

I don't think this is a fair thing to say to be honest.My C9 is spectacular, will have it for years to come. Burn in not an issue if you use your set like a sane person.
I think if you have a 2019 or above set these issues are not as big of a deal.
Check the fine print. I bought my C8 from them because of the warranty they bundled with it, but said warranty explicitly states it doesn't cover burn-in. I bought my CX from Best Buy because their optional warranty (a cool $1000 for 5 years) was the only one that did.
What model is this? I've played hundreds of hours of Destiny 2 on my TV without issue. I have an LG C9. I think if you have a 2019 or above set these issues are not as big of a deal.
This is a very similar story to mine. I was set to buy the mid-range Sony X900H and was checking it out at Best Buy, and my wife saw the CX and we instantly fell in love. Spent way more than I was expecting to, but it was worth it.I was at Costco earlier and of course had to go through the TV section. I was staring at this 85 inch Samsung before my girlfriend yelled over to me to come look at another TV.
It was the 75 inch LG OLED and my mind was blown, it looked incredible. One of these days I'll stop the $3000 on one for my living room.
B6? It's old. I bought it 3,5 years ago now. This started like 2,5 years ago but it didn't bother me that much. Super stupid about me to not reach out to them immediately.
The Destin burn in isn't what I see as strange. It's the mute icon, that MOVES to prevent this. You know it's a bad panel, when that happens.
I don't think this is a fair thing to say to be honest.
Also as mentioned before the 7 series and below were more prone to having burn-in than the current sets.
Maybe they assumed from the video title without watching it that it was about MiniLEDs surpassing OLEDs in picture quality and not what the video is actually saying; which is that market research firm is projecting MiniLEDs to surpass OLEDs in market share.Huh? Why did you waste my 7 minutes of my time with that video as a reply? Nothing about it disputes my point.
I think this is TV dependent. I have an older Samsung KS9000 and as far as I can tell, there is no degradation in image quality and/or brightness when switching to game mode.In a few tests, HDTVTest has shown that in game mode, LED based screens have reduced backlight performance whereas OLED looks exactly the same in game mode and non-game mode... That is the reason why to me the LG OLEDs are the most desirable TVs for gamers.
BTW- Another unspoken issue with the B series is that burn in can happen from the internal components over heating after prolonged use, even without a static image on the screen. This is what happened to mine. I had burn marks not from an image but from the components inside over-heating! :o
Stop putting the blame on the user. It's a failing of the technology.My C9 is spectacular, will have it for years to come. Burn in not an issue if you use your set like a sane person.
The KS9000 is an edge-lit display so it doesn't really have high-contrast local dimming performance to lose when you enable game mode, like the full-array local dimming displays do.I think this is TV dependent. I have an older Samsung KS9000 and as far as I can tell, there is no degradation in image quality and/or brightness when switching to game mode.
If I have to pause a game to like make dinner or something, would it be possible to just turn the TV off to prevent burn in?Just mix up your content and don't have it on full OLED brightness for SDR content all the time.
On 2017 models and older especially, really try to avoid anything with static coloured logos / elements on the screen for long periods - red and warm colours in particular. Rolling news programmes are generally by far the most common and worst offenders to leave on for long periods with OLEDs. But it is a cumulative effect, so watching for 5 hours on one day is the same as watching for one hour a day over 5 days.
On later models, the red subpixel was beefed up and dynamic logo luminance adjustment was introduced to significantly reduce the risk.
But just use common sense. If you're leaving CNN on for hours every day - don't do it on your OLED.
If it's mainly your nice TV to watch various TV and movies on... you're going to be fine.
Yep, if you're coming from a plasma, you'll want to go with OLED.as someone who has never owned an OLED, but is a big fan of plasma (and still owns one as a gaming TV) is OLED my best option in achieving a similar or better image quality and contrast ratio?
Unless you have a voltage-tweaked Pioneer 9G Kuro, it's likely that most mid-range to high-end TVs will have better contrast than your current plasma TV.as someone who has never owned an OLED, but is a big fan of plasma (and still owns one as a gaming TV) is OLED my best option in achieving a similar or better image quality and contrast ratio?

I have the same TV. Theres only 3 zones, I don't think you can compare it to modern TVs which have hundreds or thousands of zones and must be way more computational intensive and are able to drive deeper blacks. I haven't seen an LCD/LED tested in game mode on HDTVTest which hasn't had reduced backlight performance in game mode yet.I think this is TV dependent.
