2017 LG OLED

[5star_pundit]

Brand new set, checked TV 0hr used. unless they factory reset and send to me.
Anyway, my 2nd brand new set 1to1 exchange was even worse than 1st set... there are dark colored patches in the middle and sides of the screen. very visible from YT app right out of the box. Rejected right away and shop contacted LG direct to work something out with me.
3rd exchange was just panel replacement, no dark patches and I do not want to run anymore slides but still can see some banding even from the light grey amazon loading screen.
tired of changing so just enjoy and living with it.

how do you check the nos. of 0hr used ? is it by select the LG secret menu ?

Settings -> General -> About this TV -> Total Power On Time

If you get dark patch at middle and side. I believe that's a demo set. My guess is the burn in effect of OLED.
I was told those demo OLED set need to be swap out frequently to minimum these symptom. Not sure if thisbis other promoter try to downplay OLED TV.

this is the pic I took, it is aldy like this out of the box.

My 65c8 which just received last sat has no visible vertical banding issue but has dead pixels! Noticed 3 dead pixels at green screen check. Called LG and they will arrange 1-to-1 exchange with me.

Hi Bros, need help with HDMI (ARC)

I have my LG OLED55C7T and LG SK8Y soundbar, I connected a working HDMI cable (unsure of specs) from the TV port label HDMI 2 (ARC) to the soundbar port label (HDMI OUT ARC). I then proceed to change in my TV sound settings SOUND OUT > External Speaker OPT/HDMI ARC, as for the soundbar I changed the source to HDMI/OPT. but there is no sound output from my soundbar.

Can bros here advise which went wrong?

LG OLED got so many issues? Like that better stick to Sony top range LCD.

 

[jacpat]

was seriously thinking about OLED but now probably get LCD/LED till the technology more mature.....

Make sure soundbar source select to right hdmi.

i had selected the source at my soundbar to "HDMI/OPT". no sound.

does it have to do with my unknown spec. HDMI cable? it is a working cable and i used it to connect my laptop with another LCD TV.

My friend has a c7 with sj soundbar.. it works perfectly, no reason why a c8 with sk soundbar can't.

Refer to the sk soundbar manual again and check if you've got everything right.. last resort is to buy another hdmi cable to check

edit: did you turn on SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC) in tv settings?

According 2 manual u shld select “opt/hdmi arc” as source. Not sure tats wat ur selected “hdmi/opt” is same. If u r sure u had checked all settings r correct den the last resort is try another cable. Refer 2 manual pls. Good luck

Also make sure right HDMI port on TV is used. Usually only one HDMI port on TV support ARC.

Solved. I bought the Elecom brand HDMI cable with high speed Ethernet.

You may need to provide more information.
New setup or old and now having the problem?
Connection direct or through switch?
I believe this may provide other members some idea for your solution.

Usually only one HDMI port on TV is ARC capable. You need to connect yoUR sound bar to the port support ARC. Also, check the HDMI cable is 2.0 type.
