Thanks for send those through. Just followed the C3 variant. @Baddass if you have any further input for the C4 42" that would be great.

I don’t I’m afraid as we never reviewed that model. A lot of the general settings and approach should remain similar though as you’ve hopefully found

Well, I'm glad I told you all about it here and now you all can get a nice CX replacement for free :D

Those pixels are never seen during regular usage, they sit on edges of the panels, but as any dead pixel - they tend to spread with time.
You dont have to prove that your usage is affected - simply, LG has this policy that dead pixels need to be replaced - so that is cool way to refresh your TV after years of use.

Mine was bought at Richer Sounds with their 6 years warranty and mine was replaced after over 5 years.

Probably be like mine was and in a few days they will contact you saying they are writing it off as initially they said they are sending a technician round to mine ... I assume the CX panels are no longer being produced which is why they just write them off . As mentioned they offered me a few options and replacements and even offered me a 83" C2 which I turned down , they then offered me a C4 in 77" for free and also the option of a voucher which I took for £2200, ended up putting another £2300 to that and getting a G5 after considering what to get ...

Funny enough my mate with the C8 didn't notice his dead pixels until I showed him the screen burn on mine with the YT test and he then done the same test on his which is when he noticed quite a few dead pixels but until that point didn't notice them .

Keep us informed what the outcome is on this .

Update for the lads, the technician came around today as booked. Took a quick look at the screen, saw the dead pixels, snapped a pic of them and the serial number and said I'll get the report sent over to JL straight away.

I mentioned to him that online multiple people have had the same issue and then technician report stated 'not economically viable to repair' which led to getting a voucher/refund/new TV.

So fingers crossed this gets procesesd quickly, since prices on the C4 are looking tasty.

Main dilemma is whether to stick with the 48" or go down to 42". I've really enjoyed 48 and don't find it too big, and I sit around 85cm from the panel. I do have to turn my head a little to see the corners.

This is how my windows are set up 99.9% of the time, whatsapp discord and email always open and chrome in the middle, +/- my to-do list bottom right. I use FancyZones so the windows all snap to these preconfigured sizes. My worry is that it'll all become a bit too small at 42". And my wall is easily big enough to fit the 48".

Stuck pixel developed on my C2 42", raised a tech visit with JL for this week, hopefully goes ok as the company they are sending out has a mixed bag of reviews.

Well, so you would be in better position, as getting refund/voucher is best.
I ended up getting panel replaced and now have new 48" for sale, as I bough 42" and its SO hard to sell it - problem with courier that will insure 48" TV. :(

Engineer has been out this morning and confirmed its got 10 dead pixels in the same area, took it with him as they are going to put a new panel in so looks like they can still get them for the 42" c2.
