My OLED has about 100 dead pixels but still works perfectly otherwise... I want this but just can't justify upgrading yet 🫤 it's such a great deal though.
Lol yea this is getting tempting. But my 2016 Lg E6 is still going strong. Would be happy if it just died so I'd have the excuse to upgrade😂

Is this similar to the Samsung frame tv with the lg's gallery design? My wife wants the frame, but I would prefer the oled screen.

Wow…that's sad about the dead pixels. Mine has many too. All I ever worried about was burn in, and now I have dead pixels. To me that is unacceptable! Something should be done!

Similar in what sense?

This is an ultra thin OLED model that is intended to be wall-mounted. The included wall-mount is very compact and difficult to do anything with once the TV is mounted, so make sure you have everything properly wired before mounting.

Also, because of that last point, you will definitely want cables run behind the wall to the back of the TV. It also has an extremely thin bezel design and is an incredible picture quality.

It does not have the same hard drive or access to painting/photos like the Samsung frame does from the manufacturer. With a little know-how you could set up something similar with a PC etc., but being an OLED you wouldn't want a static image for an extended period of time.

It is dramatically better picture than the frame, however, and unless your sole purpose for considering the frame is the artwork, I would consider this a better tv in every possible category.

Personally I have the 65 G1 and I replaced their compact mount with a slightly thicker tilting/swiveling mount. It's sturdier in the larger mount and easier to move around if I need access behind the TV, while remaining flush enough for my liking. I also installed an ambivision pro led back light and am happier with the end result since the TV is slightly displaced off the wall.

One can only assume you are joking, but only if you're looking for a new butler. If I were to attempt to force such a grievous insult upon one of mine, there is no doubt the other 12 would walk as well.

That said, I suppose there may still yet be a use for this microscopic screen on an Eyefinity setup for each of the silkworm habitats.

Wow, I had not heard about this issue with the OLEDs. I though dead pixels were a thing of the past. Very interesting. My first LCD monitor had one stuck pixel and it drove me insane. So I guess a dead pixel may not be as noticeable, especially on a 4K tv, but it is still disappointing on such an expensive model. I wonder how many OLED tvs develop dead pixels over time!

My oldest model from LG is a 65" C5, and it has no dead pixels. I also have a 55" E6 and the 65" G1, no issues with these either. Not sure if it's a significant concern or maybe I'm just lucky?

I'm upset as my LG 55" Oled only has 325 hours on it. It is close to 4 years old already but still it makes me sick to see this mess mainly around the edges of the screen. Have to be right in front of screen to notice them thou…but still. And of course LG won't help me on this because it's out of warranty!

So the dead pixels weren't there when you bought it but it developed them over time? Do OLED have this problem as they age with dead pixels increasing more and more?

I believe most OLED pixels on the LG panels are considered to have an 8-10 year life expectancy under normal viewing conditions. You may get more or less depending on personal usage.

Tv was perfect when I bought it from Crutchfield. First thing I do is check for dead pixels. This develops over time and still has me upset because I never knew Oled panels will do this. Just You Tube some videos on this topic…it's really upsetting!!

The LG G1 series is interesting, especially at this price. One of the biggest differences from the C1/C2 series is the 5-year panel warranty. The 5 year panel warranty "should" cover permanent burn-in as long as the TV is used in normal circumstances with typical home viewing.

https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/1...re-burn-in

Interesting article to take a quick read at. I'd say this is a huge selling point over the C series unless you get some sort of external warranty with C series.
