Is flicker enough to replace under warranty?

What about IPS panels?

Thank you for adressing this! I thought I was going crazy.

i was going buy an oled monitor but thk to this video no anymore

Have you tested sky glass tv as screen burn in happened within 6 months

Damn, I was waiting for these monitors. What are we going to buy now?

I'll be holding on to my ips, tyvm

As soon as I started watching this I immediately thought to myself, it’s not going to take 8 months, more like a couple weeks or a month. OLED screens from the 90’s are no different from screens of today. OLED=burn in.

Failure rate is remarkably high.

Another solution is tearline offset with tools such as RTSS or SpecialK.

I have been using LG C1 since 2022 jan, and I have put in about 7000 hours of binge watching netflix and binge playing xbox because I am a newly graduated mechanical engineer that’s unemployed by choice and my TV has absolutely no burn-ins. It has that uniform display like it had on the first day.

Samsung and sony have partnered to make screens for t v's and computers and phones

It's the final nail in the coffin for me. Having increased risk of burn in was already bad enough. The fact that VRR is compromised on oled just ruins it for me. Yes there are workarounds, but those are not really workarounds but more like compromises. -Making sure you aren't having a huge framerate delta [ruins the convenience of VRR in the first place]. -Lowering the VRR range [with LFC it will work to some extent, but it's gonna cause microstuttering]. -Disabling VRR [should this even be considered as solution?]

My recommendation is and always will be to avoid OLED at all costs and options. Hi-End displays for both TVs and monitors using mini-LED LCD tech offer 99% the OLED experience -that even most experts admit being hard to distinguish- at a premium price but completely worry free of any image retention issue.

I completely understand a TV that will refuse to turn on so that someone could watch CNN. Those that failed, they actually just took their own lives.

JG wetworth its my money and i want it now!

Lesson: stop watching CNN. It's all propaganda nowadays anyway.

those cycles should be activated automatically.... at least we should see some message saying "your tv is about to explode if you don't cycle it NOW !!!" ..... and tv networks should STOP putting their stupid fixed icons on our screen.....

After having Sony A95K for nearly a year and a half there are visible burn-in marks near the edges of the display. I now can see that mini-led is a much superior technology if implemented correctly like in Apple's MacBook Pro line-up.

Wouldn't putting so many tvs so closely together also impact burn-in? As far as I'm aware, burn-in occurs through heat and under these conditions they'll probably get hotter, no?

Any TV that long on CNN would commit Seppuku anyway

Mini LED is better than Oled and QDOled anyway.

Replaced a 9yr old Samsung and hadn’t realised the screen had taken on a blue tint until I’d set up the new one

Anyway, thank you for talking about this unpleasant problem that nobody in the industry is part of.

I have the same problem with my OLED but still in VRR 120z when I go to 60z the flicker disappears.

This one of the many reasons i went with Mini-LED. I don't get any VRR flicker, even when local dimming is on. I hate OLED bias that seems to be everywhere on tech channels now. OLED is flawed technology, otherwise the manufactures wouldn't have burn-in prevention on the TV's. No one should have to baby-sit their TV. Buy a decent Mini LED TV, it'll last longer, is brighter, has better HDR and you won't need to worry about burn-in. I have my Gaming PC connected to my Mini LED and it's been brilliant. And for movies with good local dimming, you'd be extremely hard pressed to tell the difference between OLED/Mini LED. It'll last me until Micro LED becomes smaller and cheaper to produce.

Would love to see the electricity bill :D

Vrr gsync is completly broken things from born. We nees new working thing

I have vrr gsync flickering on my lg c3 48. But rtings says it is flicker free.

Watching this video in 144p thanks for reviewing

I have a phd in astronomy and am a oled enthusiast ..but did not understand much ..idiots

How big the variance/fluctuation in frame rate is necessary for this to be noticeable? Or is it more of percentage thing that depend on the maximum framerate of the monitor/TV?

I have a feeling that VRR on OLEDs may hasten burn in.

Do OLED TVs have the same problem？

My monitor work more than 8 hour a day. That monitor would be dead in one year. To pay so much for such a trash, i am very sceptical

ive had this issue for many years, causing me to disable VRR up until recently when i upgraded to a LG27gr95qe with hdmi 2.1. havent had the issue since

Thanks for your hard work. Other reviewers only mentioned how beautiful oled monitors were and never mentioned their intrinsic problems. They are not real reviewers, but just some paid advertisers

My friend has a Hisense 65inch U8HQ with like a year or less and the entire TV is now uniformly blue without spots or anything, just crazy COLD, I reset the TV but sadly it's really kaput, even the warmest option is very cold blue. I'm more inclined to OLED, it seems QD-LCD are being a huge cancer too even worse than OLED... ps: I have a Hisense 55inch U8KQ, hope it doesn't go puff or I will be mad🤬

I still have a hx850 from 2012 to my eyes it is still as good as day 1. I would loveto do a side by side comparison with a new unused one.

I used the s95b as my main computer desktop for 2 years. Max brightness. Pixel shift and auto dim on low. I finally have a light blue burn in on an all white background. It is hard to see. Time to retire it to only movies now. Got a mini led monitor now that the other tech has caught up. Half the price, brighter, great darks. No more annoying pixel shift. Thanks for all your testing. Because of your videos, I ran pixel refresh and enabled burn in reduction modes.

Pro talking. I like it. Nuanced but not overplayed like the "little brat" way of talking wich seems "in" at the moment. And yet natural. Sympathetic but also knowing. And that is as a girl. (When often this is very hard for many of them to pull off, cause of how their voices sound like.) Very well done... I will go and see what else goes on this Channel.

I remember RTINGS without stupid faces on thumbnails...what the hell?

Did you test with AMD and Nvidia graphics card? Is anyone of them better?

Great job Rtings!

for those who thinks projectors need to evolve more, just think about the best cinemas in the world, for example IMAX screens, they use the exact same technologi our laser projector at home uses. the blacks will never be really black in the cinema too, it's more like an IPS screen. and guess what? an 300" IMAX cinema is the more immersive thing in the world, even with very poor contrast ratio, not your infinite contrast oled in your room!

this series is just making me not buy an OLED screen. i will sitck with Mini Led with IPS panels. the best overall.

These tests are the only CNN viewership

YES, now I have evidence I can point to while I insist to those around me that the flicker is real and I'm not crazy! I was really hoping the list of solutions included more than just disabling VRR or capping frame rates though.. I've had an LG 55B9 for years now and had to disable VRR pretty early on due to flicker. Since then I just run the display at a fixed 120Hz with various combinations of vsync/fps caps depending on what works best in each game

On my side, the flickering is still there (Asus rog swift pg32ucdm). Even with a capped framerate and a stable frametime graph. For example forza horizon 5 with max settings 4k dlss quality and fg on. I'm getting 170-240 fps. I capped the framerate to 120 and it stays stable at 120 with no drops or spikes. But the flickering is still there and in some scenarios it's more intensive than uncapped. Interesting is, there are two different types of flickering. The first is always in darker areas with or without a capped framerate. It's not as bright as the second but it's always there and it flickers fastly. The second is a very bright flickering. It appears in longer intervals than the other one but it's much brighter and a lot more visible than the other one and it appears in darker areas too. Capped framerate doesn't help either. Another example is avatar frontiers of pandora. In darker areas and corners there is the bright flickering. I noticed something in the monitors OSD. If you look at the framerate the monitor shows you, you'll see that they're sometimes jumping around. In avatar frontiers of pandora I tried capping them to 60. They are always on 60 and no drops or spikes what so ever (checked with msi afterburner). But the monitors OSD says that the fps sometimes (not always when it flickers) goes up to 100+ and go back down to 60 FPS. Same thing in forza horizon 5. Fps capped at 120 but the monitors framerate jumps up to 200+ and go back down to 120. First thought it could be LFC but on 120 fps? Not sure. If anyone know something how I could fix that. Feel free to message me here.
