Sigh, so my girl watches a lot of cnn news.... and today I got home and guess what? burn in with a huge CNN Live on the bottom right corner..
bummer.. tv is about 4 years old but man... how do you OLED owners do with the news? just don't watch it a lot?
I'm bummed.. I really don't want any other tv besides an OLED but now i am on the fence....is there proof the new OLED tvs handle burn-ins better now?
pic below: abit blurry
sighh.
Can anyone please educate me on QLED's by Samsung? No burn in with those right?
I'm sorry OP. I gotta say this doesn't make sense. CNN cuts to commercials every ten minutes and the logo disappears. How could that have happened?! I'd be very disappointed in my TV if that happened to me.
I know your pain OP, for we are the same. Rachel Maddow ruined my TV.
OLEDs are incredible pieces of kit but a little too delicate, especially as a first-time owner. I can forgive some burn-in to enjoy perfect black levels. Now I just get my news through text and podcast form and turn off as much of my game HUDs as possible.
After 8 years of so most of us will want the next best thing.
i did but didn't help. this one is obviously a deep burn-in. i mean the tv is 4 years old but still... i guess if i ever get oled again, news channel will be a no no for me.
This is the only correct attitude with OLED.Similar situation. My OLED E6 has some faint burn in across with bottom from sports trackers like ESPN. It's only noticeable when my Xbox has that dark grey screen during an update. I would have no problem upgrading to a 77" CX but I love the 3D on my E6. It's the last model to include it so there will come a day when I lose it, but for now, I'll learn to live with the burn in.

Same here
I've had my current TV, a Samsung 1080p, for at least 7.5 years. I actually just bought a replacement not because it's had problems, but because I want to upgrade to 4k for this generation of game consoles. I've literally never had a problem with it.Sure, and specifically the bolded part, I don't.
But that's just not the reality we live in, electronic devices rarely last longer than a few years, some problems to some degree always happen here and there, phones starting to get problems, getting slower or the battery slowly dies out, or, haha, actually get f'n burn in too, like my Galaxy S9+ after 2 years, thanks to the f'n chrome browser.
Some stuff will always have problems at some point, no matter if the stuff I mentioned or the washing machine, mixer, fridge, car not working anymore after it was perfectly fine the day before, you can't avoid that. So I don't even try, it doesn't make sense to be scared about that kind of stuff. We live in a world were all kind of electronics can break down easily, if you want to avoid that, try to time travel back to the 80s and 90s were electronic stuff really was build for centuries.
But my 2000 bucks TV can break down after 4-6 years of daily 6 hour usage or I can spend the same amount of money simply on a week vacation. Looking at it this way, I think the TV would have been more than worth the money for the usage I've got out of it, at least for me personally.
Expecting it to work 10 years with daily usage just doesn't make sense in my eyes. Because nothing in the world will, without some problems appearing or wear.
Does my audio set up work with Hyperflex in 2027 if I bought it in 2024? Oh my God I'm losing it!!! š¬After 8 years of so most of us will want the next best thing.
The minimal burn in will let you buy that MicoLED with hyperflex in 2027.
I just got my OLED in this week and its such a huge jump for me. We just love watching sports and movies on it.
It will work but you will only get 9.2 surround sound at best.Does my audio set up work with Hyperflex in 2027 if I bought it in 2024? Oh my God I'm losing it!!! š¬

Damn RCA and their Hyperflex! šIt will work but you will only get 9.2 surround sound at best.
With hyperflex you get double that. In fact you need to upgrade your ears to notice the difference.
I've never had one, but seeing all those desktop icons on my friends TV gives me anxiety.
Plus the confused face that Tucker Carlson has constantly, faintly staring back at you like Samus's visor reflection in Metroid Prime.Hey could be worse. Could have been a Fox logo instead. *Bah dum tishhh*
I'd agree with this. I have a q80T and a LG C9. We have the qled upstairs cause my wife watches a ton of shit with logos in the corner. The blacks aren't perfect but I'm very impressed with the backlight and how little halos come into play with it. It's not perfect but it's damn good.No. I tried to get it to happen with a review unit. No burn in. Samsung even has a guarantee.
The QLEDs will get brighter than OLEDs (good for HDR), but their weakness is low light. For example, in Stranger Things, the scenes were it is just 11 on an otherwise all black screen, you'll see a slight halo around the illuminated area. The black areas are black, but the QLED uses a backlight, so it can't get pixel perfect accuracy when one is on and the one next to it is off. When the whole screen is black though, you'd think the TV was off because the backlight is off.
QLED is a very viable option with some minor tradeoffs.
This is true for major appliances these days, our national broadcaster did a story about it but it is not known to be the case for TV's (yet). It's a pretty easy strawpoll to find friends and relatives (particularly fixed income seniors) to successfully keep their LCD/LED TV for at least a decade.
Honestly anyone who likes watching channels that have logos always present or tickers...just avoid OLED. Having a nicer picture is great, but a TV shouldn't dictate your viewing habits and preferences to you. Quantum Dot or whatever looks fantastic and you can watch your news stations or play your favorite games to your hearts content without ever having to baby it.
I know too many people that are news junkies and I tell them to avoid the OLED temptation at all costs lest they end up like the OP here. If they aren't news or ESPN nuts then go for it. But if they are, hell naw.
My current TV is a last-gen Samsung F8500 plasma that is five or so years old (maybe six) and my TV before that was a nice Panasonic plasma. I've never had any issues with burn-in or serious image retention with either of those. Seeing how accepted it is with OLED has me not wanting to upgrade anytime soon though.How the fuck is burn-in still a thing in 2020? I thought we left that shit behind with Plasma TVs...
What kind of features does it have? Got a new CX and want to make sure those safety mechanics are activatedAll OLEDs can get burn in. I suppose everyone is recommending the CX because it has better burn in prevention features in options.
On the other hand, those options might not be as effective as people claim, and there could be a lot of assumptions on its effectiveness out there.
But burn in is inherent on OLEDs.
They'd be bad for gaming too though no? Especially with games with static HUD elements?
Burnt B6 owner here. With a bunch of Tetris 99 boards and a big color spill at the center.
Welcome to the club!
Yeah we had a lot of CNN on during the week of the election. I kept telling my GF to cycle through the channels to try and prevent it haha.
B8 and thankfully no burn in on my end. OP, definitely try and reach out to LG. Heard good stories about them replacing them for newer models. You might get lucky.
This is now the second free replacement I've gotten and my tv is about 4 years old now.
I think they're banking on lg just giving free replacements for the rest of their lives. I'm more apprehensive about the tech. Still haven't bought an oled because of this burn in problem.Wtf at people recommending another OLED after his previous one got burnin? Their viewing habits are what they are and as such another tv prone to burnin is the worst recommendation to give, yet everyone just skips past it like nothing happened.
OLED diehards are creepy sometimes.
