Managing

Protecting the OLED TV Screen

  • • Unlike general LED/LCD TVs, OLED TVs can display perfect black and produce clear images without light blurring.
    • Due to the characteristics of OLED materials that provide high-resolution display, image retention may occur or persist, leaving an afterimage on the screen.
    • Image retention is a common phenomenon in all OLED panels. Using the recommended viewing mode can minimise image retention.
    • Avoid displaying images that are likely to cause image retention, and follow the recommendations.

Images that are likely to cause image retention

  • • Screen with black areas on one or more sides on the top, bottom, left or right
    • Images whose aspect ratio is 4:3 or 21:9.
    • Screens with images fixed for a long time, such as channel numbers, broadcast station logos, game console icons, or set-top box menus
    • Other static screens or screens that repeat the same scene

Recommendations for Minimising Image Retention
When watching TV for extended periods, press the remote control Q. Settings button and configure the screen as follows.

  1. [Picture] → [Select Mode] → [Eco] / [Auto Power Save] (Depending on country)
  2. [Advanced Settings] → [Brightness] → [OLED Pixel Brightness] → Adjusting to Low
  3. → [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] → [Adjust Logo Brightness] → [High]
    • If there are black areas on one or more of the top, bottom, left, or right sides of the screen, press the remote control Q. Settings button to remove the black areas before watching.
    • → [Picture] → [Aspect Ratio] → [User Selection] → [Vertical Zoom] or [4-Way Zoom]
    • Turn off the menu for setting up external devices such as set-top boxes so that it is not displayed on the screen for a prolonged period.

Note

  • OLED TVs automatically lower screen brightness when a fixed image is received for an extended period and restore brightness once the fixed image is gone.
  • This is one of the features of the TV for minimising image retention and is not a malfunction.

Running Pixel Cleaning
OLED TVs are equipped with a pixel cleaning feature that detects screen conditions on its own to prevent retention.

  • Pixel cleaning automatically calculates the optimal execution time based on cumulative viewing time and runs automatically when you turn off the TV.
  • Horizontal lines may appear at the top and bottom of the screen during pixel cleaning.
  • The pixel cleaning feature works when the TV is connected to the power cord and main power.
  • Pixel cleaning can also be run manually by pressing the remote control Q. Settings button .
  • → [General] → [OLED Care] → [OLED Panel Care] → [Pixel Cleaning]

  • ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.

  • ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

  • ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

  • ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.

  • NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.

  • NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example,  cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.

  • NEVER place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be
    located between the television set and supporting furniture.

  • NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys

  • and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.

  • If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
