NEVER ! Do this with an LG OLED,here’s why 

Hi paul sorry off subject but have you had any issues with the c1 connecting to a dennon avr over earc at all,

But if I have an electrical storm in my area and it hits my tv while it's plugged up. Then my tv will be gone. I can't afford a another LG c1 oled. Love the tv. So I've been unplugging it when I go to bed. I haven't been putting it in stand by mode. But I do get notifications when it's time to have a pixel refresh. So I let that happen and then the tv is refreshed and ready to go.

I like the way you are always informing people how to avoid problems with their OLED TVs. Good looking out Tech Giant.

plug in some USB powered LED's into the tv's usb ports, they light while its doing the cleaning cycle. problem solved....

This might help t say Cumulative.. Que, Mule, late, iv.

His biceps are OLED panels...

😂🤣😂

🤣

i have.upped his steriod usage

I don't see the point of releasing any new models. 4K seems to be as far as we're going. Earlier reports of 8K seem to have died a death.

You learn something new 😉

@@TheTechGiantRU-vid Hello, ty for video, very informative! Since my english is not native, have I understood right that standby means always plugged TV (even if it is turned off, just plugged into a power socket?)

“Standby” is initiated by pressing power button on the remote to power off-but keeping plugged in (after 4 hours of screen time). Correct?

@@MisterCaution thats what I ask too....

Exactly. Happy I learned it way before getting my CX 👍🏻

Thabks for the sub 👍🙂

😂

Very good idea👍

That's good to know! 👍 I just wish they would use the standby light as an indicator, like it would turn green while the refresher was running, and turn back to red, when we could unplug the TV.

I would love to have my bias lighting come on and off with my LG C1 but USB port doesn't seem to be strong enough, i.e. lights don't come on when plugged into USB port with TV powered on. I found I have to use a USB power brick from an old android tablet plugged into the wall and use a USB extender to attach the bias light to power the lights........

@@DubHead69420 perhaps something will come in a firmware update in the future, I agree it would be nice though

So THIS is why they never turned off at the same time. The things you learn. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you very much for saying goodbye so 👍🙂

There is no problem in switching off at the wall. Just let it sit in standby mode for 10 mins before you turn it off/unplug it. Best of both worlds.

It is true that the newer OLED’s are far better protected against burn in compared to older models.

@@TheTechGiantRU-vid I do hope so, and thanks for the reassurance. The LG support also said to me that the new G1 model is even more protected, but for various reasons, not only price alone mind you, I will stick to the C1 instead. At any rate, I cannot complain about my E7P. After my retirement I spent a considerable amount of time watching my movie discs and streaming, high quality broadcasting, and my E7 never let me down. Of course, 4 years is not such a long time for permanent damage, but the TV info reports more 13 thousand of power on time. I did not realize I have used this TV so much until recently!

I still power down the unit entirely and remove it from a power source after use (i.e. I turn the power bar it’s plugged into off) because of electricity bills, usage, etc. Hope it doesn’t come back to bite me.

@@TheTechGiantRU-vid I just got LG C1 6LA 48 inch I believe it says 2021 model. Does this mean I possibly have better protection again this Oled burn in on this model? Oh actually, didn’t this tv release in 2021? So your talking c1 2022 model ? I’m new to all this and to be honest my last Samsung Q7OT 55 for £1000 had nasty problems couldn’t display black or dark low lit scenes properly. I don’t know what it’s called and I’m not talking about blacks being dull or not deep black. I’m talking it should be a pitch black night sky. My screen is a mix of mainly blue purple some black and it’s like all messy moving ink like and of course the whole night sky on my 55inch is a messy distorted mess and on os5 games it was even worse. Res evil biohazard. Most of the game is pitch black or bear pitch black and should simply be black. I wouldn’t even mind if it was straight up grey but oh no now the screen is same mess of blue, purple, distorted like when a pitch light get turned on a say a baseball pitch and as camera focus on the bright light, surrounded by pitch black, it that nasty mess and like a circular rainbow distorted effect covering the whole screen. I don’t know if it’s a bad quality, a fault, maybe my tv was dropped. All I know is it was hideous. I’m so worried my c1 will be the same and to be honest, all I want from this bloody C1 after my Samsung nightmare, is for c1 to simply work. Just display, colours properly in daytime, night low light etc I really couldn’t give a crap about 4K hdr or peak brightness. I’ll just be over the moon if it just works. I know if it don’t, I’d rather send it back and watch a 13inch black and white tv before I go through this crap again. I genuinely don’t know if many of these TVs are faulty, flaw that manufactures don’t care about or simply, these TVs are fragile, they can travel half way round the world , be stored for years e en before you get it and after all that, it’s only expectable for many to fall over, get dropped, fall over in transit etc and then become faulty due to force of impact. Rant over 😖😭

thanks for the tip, but question though: So let's i stopped watching the tv around 11pm **daily**, it remains plugged in standby mode, and then decide to unplug at 6am.. do you think it's still a good habit? Or should I keep it plugged forever?

sony also?

and if you miss that plug in some usb leds - they'll light up while it does it, in case you miss the click.

@@Caddy666 Allright good info. The more - we ppl knows, the better 👍 Oh and I hope you guys got that - Pro Tip. Was just a damn joke from me 🤣

@@kamilo1571 Great to know 👍

@@JN-hg5wn wait so you mean the whole tip was a joke? or just the Pro Tip part.... also your tip, is this confirmed?

You're welcome!

As I am sure plenty of people will still want to unplug it to protect it from lightning strikes, power surges and pointless energy use. It's good to get a reminder that it is there though. But I will just add that it will go through a more elaborate process after 2000 more hours of operation and you can also just tell it to do it yourself. So some might like to do it manually themselves then turn the TV off when it's done. Obviously anyone with any sense is going to unplug their Television if they go on holiday for 2 weeks too. But I guess you can always put your TV on standby wait 15 minutes and then unplug it and have the same effect.

@@90lancaster I never ever unplug my TV. I could go away for 3 months, and I'd leave it plugged in. Never once had an issue. What do you think leaving a new OLED plugged in on costs a month?.... $1? $2?.... Not worth even thinking about plugging and unplugging it. Especially considering it disables the pixel refresh which is the most likely thing of all to damage your expensive OLED TV.

@@BuckMcAntlerson It refreshes ONCE and then sits there doing nothing much other that keep a little light on. As for standby power - yeah it's higher that I expected it to be which is why I was suggesting unplugging it if you leave home for an extended period. It's not going to chemically degrade if it's not plugged in for 2 weeks. I dread to think what your energy bills are like if you don't ever unplug anything.

Hi

It’s not an issue you’re fine you don’t have to watch these recycled burn ins videos

It's smart to unplug everything when a storm is near. A long time ago lightening went through a telephone jack which was connected to my computers dialup modem. The modem no longer worked and the jack even had a black scorch mark. The GPU video card was effected with messed up colors as well. The CPU seemed to survive though. 😁

Got same issue. The lines just appear sometimes, and sometimes not. Hope it fixes by itself, so I will know that I should not unplug this tv when turned off immediately.

@@edgarascernikas2238 tai kaip suprantu tas automatic pixel refresh atsijunge kai isjungi TV is rozetes? Galima ji ijungt vel kad automatiskai toliau darytu savo darba kas 4+ valandos? Ir ar pats jus dabar laikote TV pajungta istisai prie 'mains' 24/7? Mano anglu ne pati geriausia ... Dekoju uz paaiskinima is anksto!!!

I just got an horizontal line on my screen after pixel refreshing

They should allow a manual mode to initiate pixel refresh if you've disrupted one by unplugging or whatever and need to clear the resulting issues.

got horizontal lines from top to bottom and I always left my screen on standby the companies tech people I bought the television from after complaining about the lines told me to do a pixel refresh 5 times I did this and the television stopped working altogether so I generally do not know who to believe luckily it has been fixed as it had a 5-year warranty the tv only 23 months old with 70 hours on it I barely used it

Glad I could help

Unplug after 10 minutes I would or 15 minutes to be sure. Pointless and expensive to keep electrics on.

Interesting, because I live in an apartment and bought a 55" LG C1 5 months ago that I never unplugged (I had a crappy old 720p Sanyo before) and *didn't* notice any difference in my electricity bill. Could've fooled me. Also, I love this TV. It's why I bought a PS5 and then renter's insurance. lol

@@whocares_bear I dont think you have a smart meter. Then you'd see the costs pile up.

video is partly bs and clickbait. when the tv accumulated 4h and finished its pixel refresh (~7 mins), which you hear by a click noise, you can obviously unplug it.

So it means when you turn off the TV, we should not plug it off right ?

*OCD

@@iqadwolf2554 he didn't even bother to mention how long you should leave it on standby. Leaving it on standby costs electricity

@@chloetv1 yeah bro

Very good point,and something I wouldn't have thought of 👍

Good choice!

Been doing that since 2004. Lost my real nice Toshiba Tv prior to that due to lightning strike.

@@llordell7585 I was out of town when a thunderstorm hit Dallas. I was wondering why my television wouldn't turn on, even though the power light was on. I looked down at the power strip and it was slightly melted. The television worked for another 3 months, before the voltage regulator died.

Yup!!! Do you even hear it click right after turning it off from time to time after a few seconds?

@@JRBowling1997 if it doesn’t need to run a compensation cycle it will click shortly after you turn in off. (Couple of seconds)

Leaving the heating on all the time is way less efficient 😂

@@alexblacksmith5605 in my experience having a consistent maintained temperature of 22-24°C in the winter for an older home is generally more cost effective and efficient then shutting the system down and starting from cold each time. Since taking this approach the cost has decreased by almost 30%,… but I guess it all depends on the property and heating system in place.

@@theexpatgunner I suppose if you are having it set that high I don't have a very efficient home but it regulates around 16c and I'll put the heating on if I feel too cold and set it for the rooms I'll be in

@@alexblacksmith5605 exactly lmao

I was wondering the same, I turned it off not sure if it affects

Doesn't matter if you ask for screen saving concerns. It only really affect how quick you get into the apps and such, and maybe if the TV updates them and the OS in the background. Quick start increases standby power consumption of course.

It can takes up to a hour to do the pixel refresher

@@Derek_Dkickz thanks for the extra tip off!.

Sorry I didn't post the link to that video,but I was in a rush to sort the original version of this one sorted,but glad to hear you found it and it got you up and running 👍🙂

@@TheTechGiantRU-vid Np 😉

I think you may have got a bit confused about the 4 hour thing. It's not that you have to wait for 4 hours after it has been put into standby,the automatic pixel refresher will activate once put into stanby after 4 hours of accumulated screen on time. Hope this makes sense. But in theory,after it has done it refresh,so around 7 minutes or so,you could switch it off at the mains. But from what people have been telling me,many were just turning it immediately off at the mains and going to bed etc.

Burn ins are not an issue don’t have to put a TV in standby mode just turn it off go to bed Tamar turn it on watch it enjoy it turn it off

@@alambe7275 No offence but I doubt you know better than LG. If you do then I'd suggest you give them a call and tell them what they say on there own site is incorrect.

@@alambe7275 If burn in wasn't an issue .. then LG wouldn't be running background tests .. would they!!

William where are you at test are performed to make sure things are running properly after that you don’t have to keep talking about it and fantasizing about it and making videos about it every week every day every year

I'm not sure I understand, how does having a message on your screen help with a pixel refresh? The only real solution for yourself is knowing how long a pixel refresh takes and how long before it starts after switching your TV off. Then from there you know when to unplug it.

@@warreng5257 a message - ok incorrect choice of word, should be prompt with yes/no option. No need to unplug things in this country as wall outlets have a switch and for extension boards there is a choice.

What are you talking about? Every house in the US has atleast ONE switch to their outlets

@@adolfoarias a switch to each socket?

@@warreng5257 no, thats why i said ATLEAST ONE. They’re usually turned upside down indicating its setup to a light switch

It's a pleasure mate 👍 Merry Christmas 🙂

@@TheTechGiantRU-vid Merry Christmas 😁

So how often do you recommend running it?

The basic cycle that's run in standby doesn't deteriorate pixels so it shouldn't be a problem. And it's a good thing to have the maximum brightness down a bit to increase the lifespan of those dear pixels.

@@camj3557 I believe Sony recommends a full on pixel scrub once a year. This is different than the small automatic cleaning the video is talking about after 4 hours.

Who needs Google when you've got me 😄

@@TheTechGiantRU-vid 💯💯🤣

It's going to happen every time there's no power to the tv at all.

Welcome to the channel mate. Great to hear you enjoy the content 👍🙂

Exactly the same entire house automated didn't think about pixal refresh when i replaced my tv so its plugged into a smart socket like yours my automations also turn off the tv at the socket so it hardly gets too run the features im also at high risk of burn in due too plenty of static pictures from things like computer GUI and video games Gonna run off too change the code now and potentially save my tv from permanent damage

Thank you 😊

No worries

Glad it was helpful!

Happy to help decent people like yourself

@@TheTechGiantRU-vid Here is a heart back from me to you ❤ 💪😎

A pleasure as always 😉
