2017 LG OLED

Eh! Don't get tricked by the link. It's a 10 year 'no screen burn-in' warranty.
But the thing is this; LCD based TVs are using inorganic materials. They almost NEVER ever get burn-in.

You will never be able to use the screen burn-in warranty even after 10 years. That is just a way to promote their TVs like as if they have a 10 year TV warranty. But it is not hor. Read properly and don't get tricked. Marketing people are always the worst in any industry exploiting even warranties to manipulate the masses who are not reading in between the lines. Careful not to fall for their marketing scheme.

Also, take note, the Samsung QLED Q7F has a 5 year display warranty.
Plus, as you can see Samsung's aggressive marketing includes changing the name from Quantum Dot VA panel TV displays to QLED in the hopes to again confuse the masses who are not very tech savvy. So just be careful not to fall for their manipulation with words.

Have a read here in regards to Samsung's nonsensical 10 year screen burn-in warranty which will never even happen at all and as I have explained, is just a marketing trickery to confuse the uninformed masses of the tech world and especially those who don't understand how organic and inorganic display technologies work.

Yeah ive had bad experience with Samsung FHD ones, so im a bit skeptical now.

Nevertheless, very insightful! Thanks bro!

Wishing one day, oled will become cheaper, bigger, no burn in, and 100years lifespan.

You will definitely change a new TV before 100 year

Qled never burn in, 10 years warranty cover Simi ?
Give me 10 years warranty for all then I might consider
, Mb dead n screen dead will definitely come before 10 years

Technically it does not matter.
But if giving addition warranty without price increase or still price competitive with another brand. I would not see the reason of not taking it for rest in piece of mind.

Whether this is a LED panel or OLED panel. The panel cost remain the most expensive part to worry once TV is out of warranty. Is a buyer choice of whether to go for a new one or choose to replace it/repair it with no cost to extend the useful live. Every year your TV life extension and you are out for better TV in term of specification/price available in the market.

Important to buyer is not to behalves like salesman and be open mind to choose all available technology in the market. The moment you have decided, your money is out from your pocket!

So never buy by impulse. Do research (technology) , visit more store (price/offer etc), and most important as a buyer you purchase what like and not because salesman push you to buy it.

It will, as China has started to produce OLED/OLED panel. You will never know what panel you get until one day, you need to repair it.

Biggest problem in Singapore consumer law is we do not have a regulation/law to insist manufacturer to specifically mention place of manufacturer, source/type of part etc.

So when you purchase something, eg. Make in Singapore, Assemble in Singapore, design in Singapore etc all means different thing. Never believe in sales talk like panel in made in Korean/Japan etc as they also do not know what is the real thing inside.

Yups, the sales are bad..so now they are coming up with qd-oled to compete against oled.. https://www.avforums.com/news/samsung-working-on-qd-oled-tv.14676

You have to understand different about hard panel and soft panel and why/how burn mark can developed.

If a maker put up some statement at their official web site. This is more than just a sales talk as it carries weight, and backed by brand name (ie not a salesman talk anymore).

This remind me when I was shopping for the OLED TV. A salesman told me there would not be a burn mark, then he ask me if I notice those Channel 8/5 logon now disappear once a while, finally he told be the TV has build in function to "clean" the screen after each power off or activate it manually (it will takes a longer time to power off after you hit the power button).

This helps, and I decided no OLED for the time been! Why do the maker made this function available to end user to start with? (ie if the function is useful, it should be turned on at all time, other then longer power off time, what else is affected?)

May be not 100 years. 10-20 years (as in old CRT TV) will be nice!

If you want wide colour range with deep blacks, go for OLED.

If you are afraid of screen burn in, avoid OLED. Go for LED or LCD.

Previously, a lot of people have this concern on plasma tv to have screen burn in very easily. But having used plasma tv for the past 10 years, I have yet to see a single burn in mark on my screen. It really depends on the user. If you use the tv to watch shows and not using it as some static display monitor, it is very unlikely to have screen burn in. Besides, technology has advanced so much now since the plasma tv days, having screen burn in for OLED is almost negligible now.

So go do your own research and trust your eyes. At the end of the day, it is you sitting in front of the tv and not the salesman. Different salesman have different agenda depending on what offers they had at that time and which stocks they need to clear.

No issues with my plasmas which have been giving sterling performances.
Unless you only watch FTA television, it's fine.

Hi all, looking for some advice: I want to buy a TV with Dolby Atmos and have the LG 65" C7 in mind which is going for about 4.6k now. Does it make sense to buy it now or to wait for the 2018 LG models to come out? Will the C7 still be available then and are C7 prices likely to go down further?

When 2018 models come out surely the price will be high and the only difference is the processor. C7 will still be available until the stock is clear and they will not take in C7 anymore. And yes, the price will definitely go down when new models are out.

Think so ...I wrote what is on the invoice.. initially I ask why no 4k but then I see again the colours are fantastic.. that porbablt what he paid for rather than 4k which he doesn't watch such content in the first place..

my only concern abt a7 is the lack of hdr support. but other than ps4 gaming, not much content supports hdr anyways.


native 1080p also easier to drive.

This LG OLED TV at SilverKris Lounge (T3) might not be a good example of burn in issue since this TV has been used for general TV broadcast, not movies, days and nights for years. However, if you only watch general TV program,you don't need OLED TV.

Usually it will same price as current model, but current model will price drop further till stock is full sold out.

Hmm yeh I guess, if he's not watching 4k content on Netflix or uhd blurays, he's not going to be seeing 4k. I don't think starhub/mediacorp will be moving to 4k in the next 10 years.

Most cases of burn-in in televisions is a result of static images or on-screen

elements displaying on the screen uninterrupted for many hours or days at a

time – with brightness typically at peak levels. So it is possible to create burn-

in in almost any display if one really tries hard enough. And even if burn-in

does occur from extreme usage, it can usually be mitigated by watching a

few hours of varying content.

to prevent burn-in issues, there is a screen saver feature that will turn on

automatically if the TV detects that a static image after approximately two

minutes.
