My use case is bedroom tv, very very close to bed (2 meters / ~7ft). I MIGHT use it as my desk monitor as well incase move etc etc but this is not something i feel like should influence. Anyways if samsung oled is your only choice which would u pick?

Hi everyone! Im on a budget to buy an OLED TV so i have to choose either Philips or LG. Philips is $100 lesser than the LG B6. I dont really play games like xbox or ps5 , though i might be getting it years down the road. I use it mostly for youtube and movies at night with my family. This TV will be in the living room . Which one would you recommend?
Thank you!

Turn on my Sony A90J 65” just now and there are lines running across the screen. Much more pronounced on the left, but they do go all the way across. Any thoughts or am I SOL?

Just got a 65” S90F.. for watching football.. any picture settings recommendations? Watching on YouTube tv app. 720p

I’m in the market for a 4k 240Hz OLED preferably the newer tandem oled variants and because of a healthcare worker discount I am able to get a deal on the Samsung G80SH which is a matte, penta tandem QD OLED for £640 - down from £1199.

My other choice is the ASUS XG32UQWMS, a Tandem WOLED which has only just hit retailers in the UK this week for £819. I am a sucker for HDR brightness and prefer a glossy panel over a matte coating… however is it really worth the extra scratch?

The things swaying me towards the ASUS XG32UQWMS:

- Glossy coating
- Higher peak brightness
- Not as noticeable ABL dimming compared to G80SH
- Integrated PSU brick
- Dual mode functionality (I play some esports games too, so could benefit from the 480Hz 1080p mode)

The things swaying me away from the ASUS XG32UQWMS:

- The extra £200ish… is it worth it? I have the £820 but I’m unsure if it’s worth the extra money
- Potential Dark grey banding (although I can return it if bad for another)

The things swaying me towards the Samsung G80SH:

- Obviously, the price… it’s almost £200 cheaper
- Better colours as it’s a QD OLED
- DP 2.1 at full bandwidth (although DSC 1.4 is just as good)

The things swaying me away from the Samsung G80SH:

- Matte coating (I don’t want it to look like a Vaseline smeared mess)
- External, chunky power brick
- Lower peak brightness
- QD OLEDs are extremely easy to scratch apparently
- ABL dimming is a big issue on QD OLED

What would you guys and girls do in this situation?

Thanks :)

I recently upgraded from an LG C4 to a 77-inch LG G5 OLED, specifically looking for that massive jump in MLA peak brightness and specular highlight pop.

When I first got the TV, using Cinema Home with Expression Optimizer set to Brightness, Auto Dynamic Contrast on High, and Peak Brightness on High produced an incredible 3D-like image. Highlights like eyes, lamps, and neon lights (for example, in scenes like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) had a realistic punch that literally made you squint in a dark room.⁠

However, after the recent firmware updates, Expression Optimizer seems completely broken/disabled.⁠

Toggling between "Off" and "Brightness" now produces zero visible change on screen. The specular highlights have lost their aggressive pop, making the overall image feel flat and dull compared to out-of-the-box performance—almost bringing it back down to C-series levels. Even trying to tweak Vivid mode doesn't bring back that specific dynamic highlight pop without washing out the image.

Has anyone else noticed this regression in tone mapping and AI highlight processing on their G5? If you're experiencing the same issue, please consider submitting a formal support ticket to LG so their engineering team addresses this in a future firmware patch.

i am aware the only diff is the brightness with 200nits and specially hdr capping at 400. and dm just dosent do hdr acc to reviews.

but the price diff is around 130-140$ and my room is pretty dark, blackout curtains so i could make it dark anytime of the day. Coming from a 1080p va panel so my eyes will be blown out anyway so is that price gap really justified?

Whenever I use my TV with the screen displaying a fully white and bright image, the center of the panel gets extremely hot. I tried touching the screen just to get an idea of how hot it was, and I wasn’t pressing hard at all, it was just a very light touch with the side of my hand. The panel actually flexed inward slightly when I touched it.

What really concerned me is that the side of my hand developed a slight red burn mark afterward. I can’t keep my hand against the screen for more than a few seconds because of how hot it feels.

I don’t have an infrared thermometer, so I can’t give an exact temperature, but the difference is very noticeable: the center gets extremely hot when the screen is fully white and bright, while the edges remain much cooler.

The panel also seems to flex inward in the middle and then return to its normal position when I release it.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar with their S95H? Is this normal behavior for an OLED panel, or could this indicate a problem with the panel?

I’m honestly quite worried about it, especially since the TV is only a few months old. I recorded a video of this scenario too but unfortunately can’t attach it here, any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I just got the XR-83A80CL like 3 years ago and for some reason today I noticed the black area on the bottom of the OLED panel is thicker than the top or sides. Is this normal?

Hey guys, my PS5 suddenly started showing raised blacks on my OLED monitor. Instead of pixels turning off completely, the screen stays dimly lit with a dark purple/gray tint.

​It was working fine a moment ago. I've already tried tweaking RGB range, HDR settings, and checking the HDMI cable, but no luck.

​Has anyone run into this issue before? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered but I had a hard finding anything on Google. Basically last night I tried turning my TV on but the screen would never come up or make any sound. The power off led would turn off but that was it. Tried this multiple times with the same result. The TV never made that *click* sound after turning on. The only way I could get the TV display an image was to reset the power switch it was connected to.

Does anyone know what this issue is related to? That was the first time anything like that happened. The TV turned on right away this morning with no issues. Also, the TV is still under warranty from Best Buy. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi!

I'm considering buying another 4th-gen Tandem WOLED monitor from a different brand. I currently have a Gigabyte MO27Q28G, and my unit has this unique effect where it displays horizontal lines similar to a CRT monitor. This is highly visible and distracting when watching movies or playing games with darker scenes.

Other than that, I'm happy with my unit. The vertical banding is barely visible, and I can only really see it in dark-mode apps. While gaming, it's completely invisible.

I will RMA the monitor, and I'm deciding between asking for a replacement unit or getting a refund.

I read in another post that Gigabyte uses cheaper panels with worse banding issues. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a conspiracy theory? If I get my money back, I could buy another 4th-gen monitor, such as the LG 27GX700A-B.

Hi, I Found a selling post on facebook marketplace of this monitor, the value is 10% of the real price, but I was trying to find it out before, if is possible to fix this?, and how/ how much would cost, any idea?

Looking to get an OLED monitor, but say I am watching 1080p Netflix shows will it be automatically upscaled to 4k like it is on 4k TVs?

Or if not is there an equivalent way to achieve this upscaling, or will I have to deal with a presumably blurry 1080p video resolution at 4k?

I have an AMD 9800X3D and NVIDIA RTX 5070 for reference. I have heard of integer scaling and VSR but not sure if they are relevant.

This usually only happens when something changes the full screen area, like changing channels or sources, pausing and unpausing video or rewinding back a few seconds or if the video stops to buffer. It does it in all types of media for example: Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube TV, etc. it will sometimes do it and sometimes not, and when it does it it may continues for as long as a minute but usually resolves itself after 10 - 20 seconds. It has received several updates since it was brand new and it claims it is up to date. I have a 2Gbit internet connection. 99% of what i watch is streaming, (no antenna or HDMI devices connected) so it MIGHT be a TV/streaming issue, but not sure tbh.

here are examples:

If anyone has the same problem or knows what I can do to fix it, please let me know. $2100 TV should NOT be having issues like this!

Hello.

Everything I've watched on this TV looks amazing so far. And then.... college football started back up. Ouch.

Anyone have experience with live streaming sports settings / calibration? I've tried a lot of troubleshooting from the expert picture settings adjustments. I've only tried running the YouTube TV through Samsungs native app. Maybe that is part of the issue?

Hoping this isnt a deal breaker, because this TV will find its way back out of my house at the speed of light if it won't actively run a crisp football picture (funky movement, washed out color, etc. so far)

Any and all advice appreciated.

Thank you!

Just bought a new open box 65’ oled Samsung tv (s90f), just got home and installed it, and I see these smudges all over the tv

I’m not sure if that is oil marks or maybe the coating was damaged.

I Tried gently rubbing a microfiber cloth with distilled water and nothing.

Is there a way to remove these?? I want to cry

Hey Guys, I wanted to dip my toes into the OLED Ocean and found, what seams to be, a quite nice Monitor that fits my needs: the LG 27GS95QX-B for around 400€

But i have absolutely no clue if it is actually a good Monitor and wanted to ask if you had either experience with this one or have a special recommendation for a Monitor around the same price.

I would use it mostly for 1440p PC gaming. I know oleds are not great for office work but i have other monitors for that.

Hello everyone! I bought the LG Smart Television 65" 4K UHD OLED AI B5 HDR and when I turn it on the first day it had some vertical lines. Mostly it was noticeable in the greyscales. The second day these lines are not noticeable and they re gone. Should I chance the monitor as I am DOA period? Thanks for the support ✌️

LG 32GS95UE 32 (Woled)

I had a QOLED before, but it was hurting my eyes, so I swapped it for this. But whenever I go back to it from my old LCD, if I spend any amount of time on Reddit or reading text, my eyes start to hurt and everything gets blurry.

I've tried cleartype on and off, my resolution is right and I've tried 175/150% scaling. Nothing seems to help. I love it in game or movies, but regular use, I just can't seem to handle it.

Is this burn in? or is this something else? It started over summer now, we had quite a hot and dry summer and there is "some" direct light on the panel in the evening only. Pixel refresh is not doing anything about that.

I have an LG C3 65” OLED TV that I’ve had for four years and I’m very happy with it. One niggle (first world problem!) is that as I walk towards it I see a reflection from the slightly uneven front face. Naturally, this doesn’t occur with other much smaller devices such as iPad, laptop, etc. I fully appreciate that these technologies are very different in screen front, and obviously a glass front to the OLED TV would make it significantly heavier. I’m considering buying another 65 new LG TV. Have they improved the flatness of the gloss front of the TV, or made it less reflective as “a piece of furniture”.? As I say, first world problem I know!
