@@RobertK1993 meh at the end, its all about taking care of your tv. I took care of mine for more than a year now and i still dont have burn. Its funny cuz i used my tv as a main monitor in my pc.
I have 2 TVs one for my bedroom, 1 for living room area one of my bedroom is a 43” RCA RTU4300 and the RCA TV had no problems other than some motion blur. Price I paid at London drugs was $249.99 cad before tax. London drugs, retail price.$299.99cad but if you go over to Staples, they will charge you $449.99cad for the exact same TV I got the RCA either in 2020 or 2021 and I use it with my Xbox in my bedroom. I will warn you the speakers are junk they sound horrific, so I recommend if you buy the RCA TV to get a sound bar or something that has optical audio to get good audio out of it at least also, I never noticed the motion blur in the games. Also I never noticed the motion blur other than in this test. I also have a Sony Brvia X800G 49” that I got on Black Friday 2019 haven’t tested it yet
imagine watching this video on a 165hz monitor and being like WTF, why is all the motion so crap?! The monitor is using one of the most acclaimed 27" LG panels that is great, so it should not have such obvious problems. I watched the other video and there is still problems there from encoding or probably youtube compression.
95% of the time people can't notice DSE or banding in real world content and that's what matters, there's a good saying in the TV community: " If you look for a problem you will find it".
I agree - but this is a great deal for a brand new TV. If you just dropped thousands on a new flagship model then this test should be run to make sure you don’t have to return the unit. Ex: if you got a great deal on a floor model OLED.
I wish I couldn't see it. However working in retail being the lead TV sales agent I could spot a issue a mile away. Really had me hating my role as I could see issues on some very high end TV. Grey scales and DSE being a issue.
Considering TVs today are mass manufactured in such high units to keep the prices low and consumers happy, there will unfortunately still be high numbers of defective units, especially with LCDs as they require a lot more parts and manufacturing steps. Best thing to do is check the TV as soon as you get it, see if you're fine with the quality or not, and exchange it or keep it.
Since the test is at 30fps, it causes slight some jitter on my phone screen (just testing it to see if it got such weird effects or anything due to the fact it's running continuously for 13 hours per day ranging from PDFs to gaming to classes and even RU-vid). So maybe updating the video to run with 60fps might help more on that part
He already did and replied to a previous comment "If the motion was bad on your tv try this 60FPS Version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qXa6X4IzYko.html "
Those kind of test aren't that great in a video format, especially on youtube. Frame rate not matching your screen and video compression will create artifacts by themselves.
Sony XBR75X900E. It's over 3 years old now, used for many hours every day as both PC monitor (gaming, RU-vid, using it right now to write this) and used every night for watching a movie or two. It passed your test perfectly. No hints of burn-in or fading anywhere. I LOVE this TV.
I got the 55" tcl 6 series with Google TV. I had no issues with this. Turning motion settings on fixed the weird effect on moving subtitles (also noticeable in pan shots in movies without judder/blur settings on). Overall really impressed with the local dimming
No. Don't run any test on a TV you already bought and are happy with. Don't go in poking where you don't want to. It's weird that TVs have annual refreshes like phones. Enjoy your TV till it breaks- or more realistically, for a decade till new tech is just much better anyway and then, why not upgrade?
I agree, since I remember CRT TV's of the past for example had uniformity problems too. The dark corners are something seen a lot on LCD and Oled isn't perfect yet too. I would say every screen I had, had something. Usually you don't notice and you can ignore it unless you focus on it.
85" X900H did pretty well. I've got some slight issues with DSE/banding but it's only noticeable when there's a large patch of white and the shot is panning across the screen. Local dimming and motion did well.
LG 50 inch Plazma TV, 1080p 60hz purchased in June 2013. All I can say is, is that at the time of this comment my TV is still going strong like new and looks better than a lot of these 4k HDR televisions you get today; nice deep blacks. And cost me £500 then. My test was clear, it was pleasent seeing the colours.
Same. I have an old LG Plasma. 1080p. 60”. Only one lousy hdmi port. I don’t know what year, but it was towards the end of plasma production. Tiny bit of blooming with white text on black screen. Some burn in from playing red dead redemption. Not the smoothest motion by today’s standards, but of course great for cinematic viewing. Colors and gradients are absolutely spot on still after all these years, and I would be nervous to replace this tv with a new one with “better specs.”
LG UJ634V here. This video confirmed everything I needed it to. The tv went really blue last year. No colours look good. Once pay day arrives it's going. 👍 Thank you for this video. It's really useful. I'll be testing all TVs on it from now on. 🙌
Thanks a billion! You saved us from a bad tv. Two days ago we bought a 65’ Samsung qled TV with some white spots on the black screen. Yesterday I returned it and changed it to a lg oled. No issues and the quality is way better!
Excellent test video! I just tried it out on my Samsung UA43TU8000WXXY. Yes, I did see some "dirty screen effect." and some motion blurring of the subtitles. But get this Mate.... About a year and a half ago in the place I was living, we experienced some massive devastating floods here in Northern NSW Australia. At the time I had the TV setup in an outdoor entertainment area. Along came the flood waters, and the TV was then inundated by the flood waters. The bottom 1/3rd of the TV was submerged UNDERWATER! for approximately 2 days! About a week later, I was getting ready to take it off its wall, mount prior to dumping it out on the road, ready for the council flood clean up. It was then, (as I had nothing to lose) I decided to power it up to see what might happen. I fully expected it to 1: either do nothing at all or 2: perhaps even catch on fire (I had a fire extinguisher nearby just in case it did actually catch on fire!) What then happened, and I could hardly believe my eyes, was that the screen powered back on!!! There was a lot of ghosting along the bottom of the screen for a few weeks. but it was still doing everything a smart TV should, and all the HDMI inputs where still working! The screen over the next few weeks dried out and became clearer and clearer to the point where it is no longer even noticeable. (Except for when running your video test) I still have this TV and it still works, just about perfectly, to this day! 😆
I have a LG Oled C1 , I only have it two months but so far everything is perfect, I watched loads of videos on set up to prevent burn in and picture retention
I have a JVC 37" LCD 720p HDTV from 2004. Its still my main TV, works flawlessly and has an amazing picture to this day. I ran your tests and they were perfect, the only test that wasn't quite smooth was the subtitle scrolling, however I was already aware of this and rarely affects viewing.
Wow I thought I was bad still using a CRT in 2016 but this is straight cringe lol. Weird to think there was once a time when those 720p TVs looked amazing to people in the same way modern ones do. Now 720 is just SD loool
LG C8 that I've had for going on 4 years now. No image retention or burn in despite the fact I play a lot of games on it. Very happy (and I'm a heavy user). I only ran it out of curiosity since my parents have a Sony X940e that somehow has image retention despite it being an LCD and a ton of DSE even on normal content.
I ran the video on a 1 year old CX OLED and it’s REALLY amazing, perfect colors and no banding, etc. The only strange thing is with the motion test. I usually watch things on Film Maker mode, with all “enhancements” off. In this mode the panning letters are very difficult to read, they simply become blurry to my eyes. In Standard mode it’s better, but in Sports mode it becomes very smooth. The thing is: I think the film maker is doing what it should, showing the panning text without smoothing it. Any other oled owner noticed the same?
Yes. This video is only 30 fps, and I also have motion interpolation turned off, so the panning text was doubled up and jittery, which is to be expected.
The 24p judder, as it's known, on most OLED TVs is horrible. My parents have the LG C1 48" and other than the panning judder, they really enjoy filmmaker mode and the tv overall, especially the inky blacks. My father edited a tv show he worked on in Canada for awhile, and can confirm, filmmaker mode is definitely the most accurate mode out of the box.
Just ran this on our 13 year old Panasonic 42" plasma tv, yes 13 year old, passed with flying colours apart from the text being a little wobble, fingers crossed it keeps going., We'll be picking your brains on what you recommend when it dies... thumb's up from us for your amazing RU-vid channel.
Awesome. I'm still rocking a Panasonic Plasma from back then as well. I'd love an OLED, but the Plasma keeps on trucking along! Hard to justify the "upgrade" when the Plasma is still so good!
If only you had said this test is not for oled TV’s at the start I would have skipped the video. All said thanks for the effort mate. Appreciate your work. No issues on LG C9 oled 77”
Just ran this on my Samsung Q60T and it was a very clean screen. Blooming was as I expected to be honest. The subtitle clarity when the subtitles were moving fast, were poor. I’m happy with the test for what I paid for the TV. Great video.
Sony Bravia 55' here, 5 year's old and of use.. Test Done, everything looks sharp, zero problems!! Great tv this one, want a 2.1 hdmi one but not in the near future I think.
What I noticed was when the colors changed on screen there was a dark horizontal like shape going across my screen but I soon realized it was from my own eyes rather than the screen itself. Kind of like a camera flash leaves a temporary dark spot floating in your vision.
Just remember. If you are returning the tv return it to the store. Don't wait to use manufacturer warranty. Especially with edge lit displays, the manufacturer won't cover light spots around the edges, or flashlighting unless you're convinced it's the most extreme example you can clearly provide on a non black or darker image of the screen.
Sony Bravia KDL-52XBR9 Only glaring issue I found was the motion of the scrolling text was quite jittery. EDIT: was a framerate issue. Looked fine on the 60FPS version.
I can see in the comments here that Subtitle Scrolling jaggies is a common "issue" found in this test, and switching on Motion Smoothing "fixes it". But turning on Motion Smoothing is generally NOT recommend by other videophile sources. So, pass this test or obey the other advice. Likely depends on what you're watching.
Stutter, the doubling of something as it's pans across the screen is not cinematic. Film makers try and limit panning speed to reduce it However, LCD and OLED sample and hold display is a lot more stuttery to the human eye. Suffering with excessive jutter is not worth it. These TV's cost so much partially because of the computer to help optimize the picture. These displays are meant to be watched first and foremost. Subjective evaluation is very important and not all motion is the same.
@@JxH The soap opera effect works better on more fluid displays (120hz capable ones) but as TVs have been capped at 60hz for so many years (with low end models still offering it as the minimum), and as there are still people who use motion smoothing, 60hz is still tolerable and smooth enough for users to get enjoyment out of it.
None of these tests highlight any faults just performance. DSE occurs on the majority of LCD screens, motion will only be smooth if frame rate interpolation is turned on, and blooming is a natural feature of full array local dimming tech. Implying these are faults is misleading.
I suspect you're right, but that really sucks ass. Why is newer technology worse than older technology? My 2021 Full Array LED had very noticeable banding on light backgrounds, which I can see when gaming. My 2015 edge lit LED didn't have that problem.
i have a 21 inch AOC tv from 2011 that was my aunt's but then she gave me it. I use it basically everyday in my gaming computer (i know that using this kind of display isn't exactly a good idea for games but idc) and it only shows little sand like diagonal textures and the edges are all kinda dark with a blue hue to it, but it's really hard to notice, so yeah, im impressed with this 13 year old tv, tks for the video bro
Honestly don't do any of this stuff unless you've got a screen burn warranty. No TV is perfect and you'll just keep looking for these issues once you've noticed them and stop enjoying the content.
So far I've only tested my bedroom 2016 LG E6P and it performed great. I'll check my living room 2016 Sony 75Z9D, my office 2016 Sony 940D and my 2016 my kids room Sony 750D at a later date and keep you posted!!! Thanks for another great test!
Thank you so so so much for uplpading this. I have this dse or banding effect on my tv and had a hard time explaining it to sony for my x85k. People run this test if you suspect any slight defect for your tv because it is subtle!
Living room Vizio looks great. No banding, no dark spot in middle just small ones on the corner as mentioned. Now on our bedroom TV I've noticed without the test for awhile that color in the middle of the screen looked Grey on people faces. On colors yellow and pink you can see a huge affected spot. The tvs were given to us so I'm not too worried about warranty, they are working so ehh lol. But very cool test!!
Thanks a lot. I used this test to check out if my budget gaming pc is up to the mark or not, mine just didn't pass the "This motion should be smooth test" and everything else was perfectly fine.
Thanks so much bro. Just bought a new expensive tv and this revealed 3 red pixel spots so now I have to return it, but I’m glad to be able to return it within the time limit. Thankful for your video.
I just ran this on my 77 inch LG CX and it came out completely clean. No image retention, no DSE and the picture still looks great after 3 years of use. I actually got the first one replaced after one week since there was a big black spot right in the middle of the screen that wasn’t quite visible but made itself shown in really dark scenes where that area was completely black instead of being dimmed down. It drove me crazy even though nobody else in the house saw it. I know it’s a 3 year old model but it’s still going strong and i was someone that upgraded TVs on a yearly basis, but this CX still looks great.
Toshiba 65inch qled TV and it's passed perfectly to my surprise no burn marks nothing or darkness I paid £500 for it in December and it's perfect I genuinely thought it might have something on it due to the price but it's perfect I'm happy 👍
I recently got a 48inch LG C1 and the test was good not issues at all, I would add that this TV is great for normal viewing but even better for gaming with so many settings specifically for gaming, I love it😊
55" Samsung q90t, nearly unnoticeable dirty screen effect. I knew it would have it upon purchase, but this tv was the best purchase for my needs, not upset.
Run it on my Panasonic JZ2000 Perfect pass. TV is half a year old or something. What was amazing, was the intelligent frame creation during the motion test. Turning it full on and full off are worlds of smoothness an flicker. Thing is, that you sometimes want that "flicker" on. Love this TV :)
I have a $250 55” 4K Philips and it passed this with flying colors. 3 years old. I feel like I made the right decision! Very impressed with the bargain brand.
I have a LCD 52” Sony Bravia TV. It’s max resolution is 1080p and running at about 60Mhz refresh rate. I’ve had it for just over 10 years and everything was totally fine. Except for the scrolling text at the bottom but a lot of comments chalk that up to RU-vid’s own limitations. But RU-vid or not that was the only time when something seemed off it was very jittery.
i have used a Vizio E32-C1 as a computer monitor for about 7 years now. crisp graphics or fonts have a bit of jittery motion at 30fps, and get a tad bit blury at 60fps. There is a small amount of burn-in along the top of the screen where my browser tabs/url bar would be, but its only visible on the one grey screen during the test. I do use a dark theme on browser so that could be helpful. overall im thoroughly impressed that there is not anything more as this screen probably has thousands (possibly even tens of thousands) or hours with a browser window open
Sir i got this tv sony kd55AG9 2 yrs ago a free replacement my original oled sony was destroyed by a software update i ran your test there was no issues 👍👍👍 i do carry out the standard maintenance built in to my tv thankyou ever so mutch
Bought an LG C7 OLED and LG home theatre kit for over £3k when it came out as I was assured it would cover me for years. Within a year the burn in made the tv unwatchable. It even had the mute symbol burnt into it on the screen. I didn't use it (in my opinion) any differently to any other tv I have had in my life and within a year it was ready for the trash. Sent it to Currys (retailer) and Lg (manufacturer) under their "5 year warranty" only to be told it doesn't cover burn in as they have insisted that I must have used the tv incorrectly. Like I just watch it muted constantly for the mute symbol to burn in. I will never buy another OLED, until burn in is no longer an issue/possibility, they're not fit for purpose imho.
Got a 65° LG C1 thats 14days old Today and there is abselutly Nothing wrong so i am stoked😁 and its one hell of a upgrade i got from a direct led LG UJ701V where there where Blue and yello areas all over becourse the leds just couldt anymore.. Thanks for the upload mate
Run it on a Lg oled b9 55 bought in 2019 with intense usage , such as gaming and streaming apps and I had zero image retention or dirty screen ,and I can tell you that I watch 99% of video content using subtitles . Very pleased with my oled tv and I can assure you that nowadays it’s almost impossible to have permanent burn in in this type of technology.
Good test. I have an LG C7 I bought a few years ago and the only test that showed some degradation is the Hot Pink screen. The test did show minor burn in but nothing to be concerned about. Realize this TV was used heavily for gaming. If that is all that has degraded over 5 years of use I couldn’t be happier.
54” Panasonic Plasma, I would say it’s about 13 years old. Everything checked out pretty good. Slight stutter in motion but overall still kicking it…. Will keep until It blows up…
77 inch Sony A9G OLED. Had for about a year or two now. Had to set cinimotion to custom and smoothness to max to reduce stuttering of scrolling text but passed with flying colours. (Honestly didn’t know what settings to adjust and many videos didn’t help me notice a difference when tuning the settings. This helped perfect the settings adjustments. Thanks!)
My sony inzone m9 had zero dirty screen effects every colored screen looked great and very little blooming on low diming. I've had this monitor 1year now. I can say very pleased
2014 55 inch Vizio M-series has no issues. I use the Computer mode with no adjustments. The scrolling wasn't perfectly smooth because the "reduce judder" is set to off because I cannot stand the soap opera effect but if turned on it smooths out even on low. I love my 2014 Vizio. I am looking at new 75 to 85 inch TV's but don't want to be disappointed in a new TV vs my current TV.
I have done the test on my tv witch is a Panasonic th-37px80b and it was amazing there was so Motion blur and the colour was so clean it was perfect better then I have seen from any tv and this model is from 2008 wow
using this to calibrate colors on my new TV but watched this on my laptop first. Surprisingly tv was fine but laptop has a bit of bloom on one side that i never knew was there. So this video definitely works!
Samsung "70 class 7 series. Absolute amazing t.v.! I recommend it to everyone now. I paid $1,100 (with professional mounting included) and is probably cheaper now as its been a year since I got it. Base without mounting is I think below $1k Not had one issue and is literally the best t.v. I've ever owned
My OLED C9 did very well. But the part with the text on the lower side of the screen while smooth in terms of how it moved, the inside of the words was blurry or just not 100%clear.
