But only every 500 hours right? So sort of 0.2% maximum of the overall consumption of the TV. It's perfectly possible the AI running constantly to calculate panel wear, will add that to the running consumption

Ah ok that makes sense.
So is the better burn in protection and better efficiency from the WBE panel over the WBC panel now an irrelevant comparison for those who own the new OLED.EX panel with the 10min pixel refresh time?
Yeah that works to be fair but being that close I may as well press the button at that point lol
Nice, I shall try the toilet roll trick! Ty

I believe its the daily pixel refresher the one that triggers off if you have used the TV for more then 4 hours or so, the 500 hours one is the super long one.
Probably all similar at this point, hdtvtest did a nifty test between the older WBC and WBE panel and it cleared image retention like 1-2 seconds after. Sounds like the OLED.EX is more energy efficient when it comes to handing burn in that's all.

No way does the TV run for an hour after power down every night, it's a handful of minutes

Yeah possible the case we don't know what the TV is doing since its off and its just some software running in the background.
I think one way to possibly check if someone with the 60 minute pixel refresher option they could use one of those wall power meter checkers and after 5-6 hours TV use, once its switched off they could check to see if watts are being consumed for 1 hour

We do know, because a) I've been that nerd with a power meter like you saidYeah possible the case we don't know what the TV is doing since its off and its just some software running in the background.

40 watts during "off" after use btw, and b) There's a relay in the TV that you hear click when the TV is finished scrubbing pixels. I often turn the TV off, start tidying up before bed and hear it go CLICK a few minutes later! Disconcerting but also reminds me of turning CRTs on as a kid

I've used a watt-meter on the power socket the TV is plugged into to find out how much my LG C2 42" (oled.ex panel) uses in standby, and how often it does a pixel refresh, and how long it lasts.
These are my findings:
- Whenever the TV has been on for 4 hours or more, it will run a pixel refresh every time I turn it off. It will also do the pixel refresh when my PC turns it off due to energy savings, or when the LG Companion app turns it off.
- The TV uses about 25 watts for about 10 minutes each time I turn it off after it's been on for 4 hours or more (4 hours combined, so it will also do a pixel refresh if it's been on for 1 hour today and 3 hours yesterday, for example).
- After the pixel refresh is done, the TV will enter normal standby and consume between 0.5-1w of electricity.

My C2 is due to arrive today.
Is there a settings guide anywhere for desktop (Win11) & gaming?

If anyone is after a decent low profile wall mount for the 42" this is one I went for:
www.vogels.com
TVM 3405 Fixed TV Wall Mount | Vogel's
Vogel's TVM 3405 TV Wall Mount, Fixed, for TVs up to max. 77”/50/10 years guarantee, Black
combo of all of these for setting it up
rest is just auto hide toolbar, have no desktop icons and either rotating screensaver or just black. Oh and use whatever black theme in your browser
Also dont switch on hdr in windows all of the time, just switch it on when you are going to game in HDR. HDR windows doesnt look nice!!!!! Windows key + ALT + B toggles HDR on and off
There is a little app for switching on hdr to save you going into settings but cant remember its name.
Also LG companion app is good as well as well switch off your tv when you shut down your pc and switch it back on when you start your pc up or switch of your screen if you have gone away from your pc. Saves using the remote.

If using windows 11 the built in windows HDR calibration tool is worth running if you dont have access to equipment to calibrate HDR properly on the TV.
thats it I think. Somebody will tell me if I am missing anything. Should be a sticky on this thread lol

Awesome information. In that case its more energy efficient if its using 25 watts for 10 minutes vs the 60 minutes at 25 watts use.
Not sure exact capped energy prices vs 10 minutes and then 60 minutes with 25 watts though, but with our energy prices every watt helps at this point.

I do like that side bar so one can gain access to the hdmi side ports, nice design.
Really did not like LG putting the 4 hdmi ports on the left hand side if you have a desk its a pitta.

Top man,combo of all of these for setting it up
in case of issues
general setup if you are going to use any of the tv features
defacto setting up for PC use
how to set it up so it doesnt dim when resizing windows in desktop use
rest is just auto hide toolbar, have no desktop icons and either rotating screensaver or just black. Oh and use whatever black theme in your browser
Also dont switch on hdr in windows all of the time, just switch it on when you are going to game in HDR. HDR windows doesnt look nice!!!!!

Tanks for that
I think Win+Alt+B is the win 11 shortcut to switch into HDR and back out
