| Pixel Refresher |
The Pixel Refresher feature, built into LG OLED TVs, automatically detects
pixel deterioration through periodic scanning, compensating for it as needed.
It also senses any TFT (Thin Film Transistor) voltage changes during power off
to detect and correct pixel degradation by comparing it with a set reference value.

After every four hours of cumulative use
Pixel Refresher is automatically operated when you turn off the TV after watching it
for more than four hours in total. For example, if you watched TV for two hours yesterday
and three hours today (more than four hours in total), Pixel Refresher will automatically run,
deal with potential image retention issues and reset its operation time.
*This function does not initiate if the TV is not plugged in.
After 2,000 hours of cumulative use
After watching for a total of 2,000 hours or more (five hours per day for a period of one year)
the Pixel Refresher is automatically operated, and the function runs for about an hour
once you turn off the TV. You may see some vertical lines on the screen during this process,
however, this is not a malfunction. It is designed to remove Image Retention by
scrolling a horizontal bar down the screen.
The Pixel Refresher automatically runs according to your TV’s
condition or you can run it manually whenever you need.
| Manual Pixel Refresher — For Control of Image Retention Recovery |
Manual Pixel Refresher is also available in case you notice any image retention or when you get a reminder to run it after 2,000 hours of watching. Follow these steps for manual start:
First, long press the setting button on the remote control to enter the settings menu
[Setting] → [Picture] → [OLED Panel Setting] → [Pixel Refresher]
*Please note that the Pixel Refresher function will stop if the TV is turned on while it is in operation.
