8. Precautions for Protecting the OLED TV Screen

Unlike regular LED/LCDs, OLED TVs produce images that emit light for each pixel, achieving a perfect black colour and delivering clear images without blurring.

Due to the nature of the organic materials used to achieve high-resolution image quality, OLED displays generally experience image retention on the screen, which can be a persistent phenomenon. This phenomenon is observed in all OLED panels, and although recommended picture modes can minimise image retention, current technology cannot completely prevent this from occurring.

Displaying the same image for a long time or repeatedly displaying the same image can cause image retention on the screen, which is a common phenomenon in OLED panel products due to the nature of the product. This product has a built-in screen protection feature. Avoid displaying images that are likely to cause image retention, and follow the recommendations.

Images that are likely to cause image retention

Images with black areas on the top and bottom and/or the left and right sides of the screen.
Images whose aspect ratio is 4:3 or 21:9.
Images that are fixed for a long time, such as program number, station logo, game console icon, set-top box menu, etc.
Other fixed screen images or repeatedly displayed images.

Running [Pixel Cleaning] to Protect the OLED TV Screen

Recommendations for Minimising Image Retention

Note

When the screen is showing one fixed image for a long time, the screen brightness will be automatically reduced and then restored once the screen content changes. This is a normal function to minimise image retention.

The model and serial number of the product are located on the back and on one side of the product. Record them below in case you ever need service.
