Any using an LG Oled just as a pc monitor ?

I watched it last week on my B7A 65 inch and it was amazing.


Other HDR movies are also amazing. There was one movie where they were shining a flashlight through a window and the extreme contrast actually made me cover my eyes with my hand when the flashlight angled towards me.
 
I tried it, but I just can't go back to 60hz.

Here's a video of me dicking around with my remake of Final Fight on a B6 55".

Again, I'm not sure on the time thing because I haven't left anything up that long. With the OLED light level turned down, 30 minutes or 2 hours might be just fine but I don't know that there's any hard data on this subject. In addition to the pixel shift/orbiting that runs all the time (and no, you don't notice it), I read that the panel does some sort of "screen refresh" cycle after it's powered off in order to eliminate any image retention. But I've never seen any image retention on mine, so I can't say that I'm benefiting from it or that it's needed in my case. Nice to know it's there, though.

Since it's so big, I no longer use my web browser maximized. I resize the window to make it smaller (probably about the size of a 32" monitor), and just move it to a new location a few pixels up/down/left/right every now and then so that everything is shifted from its previous static position. Again, I don't know for sure that I need to do that, but it makes me feel better. :) I thought about doing the full screen F11 thing, but you're still going to have the scroll bar on the right hand side. Plus it's just kinda hard for me to use that way. With a browser running full screen on a 55" panel, your eyes (and possibly neck) are going to get quite the workout scanning everything so I resize most apps. It's awesome for games and movies, though!

As for desktop wallpaper, I just set mine to "slideshow" using backgrounds of my choosing and I let them cycle every few minutes. I typically use dark desktop backgrounds as I find them easier on the eyes with large displays.

Exellent reply.at what brightness/back light you use it?

Just take a look at the rtings burn-in test if you are concerned about it. It takes literally weeks of 20-hour-per day run time with a static logo to cause it, and red burns in first.

The easy solution is rotate your wallpaper, autohide the taskbar(especially if you have red icons in the same place all the time, like the Firefox logo), and keep an eye out for any game UIs with bright red, non-transparent UI elements that you play for more than 8 hours per day. Most have color blind modes, transparency, or color configuration that will let you avoid this anyway even if you do play very long hours.

Otherwise don't worry about it. Especially don't worry about it if you only use your display in the evenings for a few hours at most.

Thank you
I had never played a game 8 hours straight in my life 1 or maybe 2 hours(unlikely) its the most,but i do use tje browser alot beacuse of my work(so that my main concern ) i was thinking maybe i should plug in a second cheap led to do my work in it?if so i own i a gigabyte 1080 can you set it one screen at 4k and the other at 1080 res?
 
I have owned a LG 55" C6 and LG 65" B6 (2016 models) for over a year now. Both have had hundreds of hours of gaming with static HUD elements on them. I have ZERO burn in and the picture quality is just unmatched. Of course YMMV if you decide to display static images on the screen for excessive lengths of time at once.

Do you own a LG B7? If so for how long

No I don't. I game on a 144hz monitor and I'm waiting for 120hz support for OLED before I buy one, because I don't really play console games and I can't go back to 60hz. Hoping for 2019. The 2018 panels already support 4K 120hz(for HFR streaming/broadcast video) but HDMI 2.1 isn't ready :(

I once had a full screen static image on my B6 OLED for about 6 hours because we had an emergency and I inadvertently left a movie paused on the screen. It had developed some light image retention, but after running the built in "Clear Panel Noise" mode it all cleared up.

Of course this is based on my experience, and you may experience something else. There are a lot of variables that can influence the chance of screen burn in such as TV settings and content being displayed. Once in a while I'll have a gaming session where I play 6-8 hours in one sitting and don't have any issues.

thank you for your Reply
 
This last question on the Rtings forum freaked me out

Guys??



Any solution to the yellow tint that OLEDs suffer, I’m on my 3rd replacement now and it has a yellow tint in the middle and the right side, and it goes away if you look at the TV from the sides.

There's unfortunately no solution for the non-uniform tint issue; all OLEDs have it, though it varies from unit to unit so some have it worse than others. This non-uniform tint isn't usually as bothersome as the dirty-screen-effect of some LCD TVs, which is why most OLEDs score very well on our grey uniformity tests.

I just got my C7 and finished setup last week. I can't speak to longevity or if this issue develops over time. I can say, the first day I had it plugged in, still default (crazy) brightness and settings, HDMI CEC was enabled and my stupid PS4 restarted while we were out in town - came home to the PS4 home screen after who knows how many hours... no issue with image retention on that at all.

As far as color uniformity. After getting it all set up and using it for a few days now, I haven't noticed anything. I'm coming from an older Samsung side-lit LED, and the color uniformity on that was awful - lots of backlight bleed in the corners, pretty poor angle viewing. At least my OLED panel, right now, is crisp and consistent across the entire screen, and consistent from all viewable angles.

Maybe I just won the panel lotto on first draw, idk.

The color consistency combined with the black level - it makes all other screens look washed out on darker scenes now (I will admit in the store, the newer QLEDs are competitive on brighter content to my eye). It's hard for me to go back to my other LED screens now. I haven't hooked my PC up to it (even the 55" is way to big to fit at my PC desk, and I'm too lazy to move the PC into the living room/wife would kill me), so YMMV on PC as a source as the OP indicates. Just mostly speaking to my experience with any color inconsistencies.

No, I haven't experienced any uniformity or tint issues with either of my two sets. However, I do know that some B6 users complained of receiving sets with banding in the past. But then again I always read/hear about some people complaining about banding with many TV sets - its not exclusive to OLED sets.

Wich sets do you own?how about I R?
 
exlink said:
Don't know what to tell you. I haven't experienced any burn in from games after numerous 4-6+ hour gaming sessions despite this guy in the video saying I would. Hell, I haven't even noticed any image retention after my gaming sessions either.

on LG b7 right?
 
I have a B6 and C6 which were the previous generation 2016 models.

Like I said in prior posts, I can't guarantee you won't get burn-in since there are so many variables that can affect your chance of getting it. But in my personal experience and at my professionally calibrated settings; I have not had ANY burn in whatsoever after hundreds of hours on each set - including numerous 4-6+ hour gaming sessions.

There's temporary image retention, caused by a charge build-up in the pixel cells of the backplane, and permanent image retention, caused by degradation of the emitting elements. "Clear Panel Noise" and its brethren are designed to get rid of the first type.

LCDs are also susceptible to the first type, and it can become permanent if not allowed to dissipate. Though whether or not it occurs in the first place is a lottery due to poor quality control on electrical specs.

I have a B7 and my experience is the same as this, FWIW.

Can you tell us how to calibrate it like that,like the values
Click to expand...
 
Values are specific to each panel. What may look amazing on my TV may just look okay or good for yours. I hired a professional calibrator who used specific hardware and software to calibrate my TVs.
 
Wow 55" would be quite the monitor! Is anyone ever going to make OLEDs between TV and smart phone?
 
I tried an LG 42 (46?) 4k tv as a monitor that was connected to a system at frys a few weeks back and it was just too big for desktop use. I have a dell 30" at 2560x1600 right now and I don't think I could go much taller as I would be looking too far up too often. A 55" would be unreal as it would be as big as my desk and I'd need a two level desk to work with anything in the upper part of the 'monitor'. :eek:
