    It's not exactly easy to burn in an OLED. They have pretty aggressive brightness limiter to protect the display. It's not something I would worry about at all.

    It's that limiter that drives me away from OLED.
    I'm on my 2nd LG OLED for my office TV, this C1 65" I've used as a HTPC screen in here, and played tons of games, mostly just blowing up Digital Combat Simulator for others to see while I'm in VR, and a few other strat games like Cold Waters. I've played a fair bit of CS GO on it too just to screw around. No burn in, none at all so far, and I've had the Win desktop page up for a fair bit here and there as well (obviously I've taken steps to minimize the screen sitting still in such cases, screen savers coming on very fast/etc, and the LG TV's own defense enabled).

    So I've finally got my TV setup and started watching some shows on it for first time today longer than a few mins, and theres a weird dust burning smell. Its a smell like when you havent turned on something in a real long time dust burning kinda of deal? Like when your furnace hasnt been used all summer and the first fire up of winter smell? Yall getting the same smell?

    Normal?

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Maybe spray the vents with some air duster? Could be just sitting in storage for a long time?

    So long as it's not burnt wires.

    Even if you don’t take any precautions, I don’t think you’d get burn in. Like I said, the self protection features are there to ensure that doesn’t happen.

    It’s really too bad the OLED’s don’t have a baller mode that removes all safeties and you just need a new one every 2-3 years

    $12 for a LG service remote can get you into service menu and you can go to town.

    May be this is why Costco warranty won't cover burn-in.

    Service remote only disables ASBL. ABL can not be disabled at all.

    ASBL fixes 1/2 the problems, when the TV thinks it's a static image, which gets triggered for long scenes of bright/dark. You still have the issue of dimming for bright scenes, particularly HDR content. Regardless, turning off ABSL still voids warranty.

    I've gone down the same path. I love the perfect blacks of OLED, the vibrancy of the colors. I also love the bright highlights that adds realism, which OLED is inconsistent with due to dimming. There's no perfect TV haha.

    Probably right. I do wonder though how anyone could tell you put your TV into this mode with a service remote, if you just put it back before any warranty tech/shop/whatever took a look at it? Does it leave a "digital or analogue" trail or footprint of what settings have been used? I don't know, but would like to before I start messing with the service remote I just ordered.

    Rage2 - what TV are you using now for the other end of the spectrum from the OLED/Blacks? Sony or Samsung/QLED or some such? I'd really like to see the LG/SONY OLED tv's right beside the QLED and other non OLED Sony types.

    The fact you cannot turn off an obviously annoying feature when spending this much money on a TV is ludicrous.

    I have the same thing on my 10 year old plasma and it's a simple on/off option in the setup menu

    Still sad we'll never see a 4K plasma TV. Makes me wonder how the tech would have fared if it got the same R&D $ that LED/OLED got.

    I’m on a x950h now. There are better displays, Vizio in the US (they pulled out of Canada) but from what I’ve been seeing their software is shit now, and Samsung but no Dolby vision is a deal breaker. So 3rd best tv I guess.

    $1,500 for a quality 65" TV is a good price in my books

    Final clearance aka open box or display models. X90J is more recent but as rage2 said before, it’s the x900h equivalent

    X95 is the 2021 version of the x950.

    I called Visions and asked if they would ship it but no dice. Not really interested in going to Edmonton for a TV but if I could find that model for a similar price in town I would get it for sure!

    Still a demo that has been burning on the floor for 10+hrs /day? Not cheap enough IMHO.

    Deals on receivers have been pretty slim pickings. Best I could find in my price range was the Denon X1600H for $719 (reg. $899). Not advertised, all the usual retailers are still full price

    Trying to help a family member out with a last minute TV search and see this thread pop up a bit. I've personally had good luck with Samsung and saw this deal. Search is 65", nothing too crazy and probably somewhere in this range or less if a good deal. Anyone have some better recommendations than the link above? I'm a bit behind on TVs and this request caught me off guard. Thanks!

    Personally I'd rather a Sony X90J or the Hisense 78G
    They're both cheaper too
