While this isn't the reason I do not own OLED for gaming monitor, it does after be said burn in definitely is a limitation that hopefully one day can be sorted for good.

For me right now it's all about the size on offer stopping me putting OLED into my PC desk.

Sigh. Linus states he ran his C48 at 80% OLED brightness, for chrome/excel work. Thats mind blowingly bright. I run mine for work at 10% OLED brightness, everything still looks sharp but is very comfortable for 8 hour work days. For games and HDR content, I run 80-100% brightness, as I'm sitting much further back and want the full IQ.

Linus also failed to take any OLED safe measures, such as chrome extensions to make the whole theme black, including new tabs, tab bar, bookmark bar etc.

The fact that linus could just run pixel refresher, and all the 'burn in' completely disappeared, speaks volumes to the robustness of these panels.

As for size, get a 90cm or deeper desk, and the 48" version works well. Or wait for the 42" version coming early next year.

Desk isn't an issue, my desk is actually quite big motorised. It's the actual size of the monitor.

Anything bigger than 32" for me is to big for pc gaming.

Note I said for me.

I'd agree with this. I've an old 43" TV in the spare room and experimented gaming on it at a distance of 1m-ish, and I just couldn't take to it. Am resigned to keeping my 27" IPS until 32" OLEDs suitable for gaming are available.

Yep give me a 32" or 27" OLED any day and I'll switch tomorrow depending on the price Haa

Is there a fast way to switch between picture modes? Can I set up a hotkey like it's possible for inputs?
I'd mainly be switching between Game Mode and Energy Saver. Having to click through all modes is ridiculous.

If I had kids, I'd be selling them if there were 27C2 or 32C2 lol

Okay okay, I'm joking. (Maybe, perhaps, maybe not.... I have some issues)

27" way too small for 4K to be worth it

It's not a burn-in in this case. Just usual image retention, that's why it disappeared after the pixel refresher running. Everyone can find such a "burn-in" on their OLED after 5-10 hours of displaying mostly static elements (use dark-grey background for checking that, otherwise you probably won't see anything). But after everyday refresher cycle all the retentions are gone.

it was burn in and it didn’t completely go. It’s just made it better. If you watched the video they explained how pixel refresh works and it’s not a solution you can keep using. Linus’s is definitely a plonker and caused the burn in by not being carful but it does show that it does and will happen.

Mine runs it automatically every day. If it doesn't it moans at me. Am I not supposed to just leave it on auto?

Black Dog · 15 Oct 2021 at 10:01

I would leave it on auto and make sure you leave it on standby and not turn it off at the plug. It will automatically do it after each power down.

Toekiller · 15 Oct 2021 at 11:14

That's pretty much what I do.

Black Dog · 15 Oct 2021 at 13:29

How come it moans at you if you have it on Auto?

it’s runs a quick pixel refresh when you turn off the tv. The one Linus did was the manual one that takes about an hour and lg say this should be done every 2000 hours.

I've got all the 'safety' settings on my C1 turned all the way up. Yet to see any image retention let alone burn in despite about a 100 hours each of Forza, Asscreed and Blender. Mostly used in 2 to 6 hour chunks. The auto dimming thing is mildly annoying in apps but no worse than using a laptop on battery power.

Is it saying it was interrupted? I started getting a message like that every day after about 2000 hours. I think it didn't go away until I did a manual software update with USB.

Might want to do a Pixel refresh when it happens..

I'm keeping an eye on it but truthfully I'm not overly worried.

I just bought a 48" C1 yesterday. What a screen!! When you think decent mid-high end monitors these days are in the high hundreds, this is somewhat of a bargain.

What's the recommended settings? I've changed HDMI1 to PC, enabled the gaming optimizer, done the custom resolution, anything else?

3840x1620 120hz is looking damn good.
