Important Information for
Preventing Image Retention
OLED is a self-emissive technology, which brings many significant benefits to image quality and performance. As with any self-emitting display, it
is possible for users of OLED TVs to experience temporary image retention under certain conditions, such as when displaying a static image on the
screen for a long time. LG OLED TVs incorporate dedicated functions that protect the screen from possible image retention.
If a static image persists on screen, screen brightness is automatically reduced in specific areas of, or across the entire screen. Once the static image
disappears, screen brightness will automatically return to its prior setting. This is not a product malfunction.
Examples of Images that may Cause Image Retention
•
Still images or fixed images containing certain information that are displayed uninterrupted on the screen, such as channel numbers, station
logos, program titles, news or movie subtitles, and headlines.
•
Fixed menu or icons for video game consoles or broadcasting set-top boxes.
•
Black bars shown on the left, right, top, or bottom of the screen, such as in images with a 4:3 or 21:9 ratio.
