Let us know your feedback on this new test. It is starting in 2 weeks, so we still have time to make some adjustments to the test conditions. Test #1 will continue to run concurrently to monitor the overall degradation over a long period of time. Also, sorry for the bad sound quality on this video. Our lab is currently in renovation and the sound treatment isn't completed yet.

This is the peak of tv-testing. Period. You guys are the best in the industry. We support you! Essential video. :)

What an awesome test..... You guys are simply the best out there! I can't wait to see the results and thank you!

Best tv test channel.

This is perhaps the most impressive test ever on you tube thank you

Absolutely mind blowing testing. I bow to you. Nothing else I can say.

WOW - that test is exactly what everyone was looking for! Really great job. Hope the results will shed some light into the OLED burn-in discussion.

This is why I go to you're channel to help me buy a tv. Thanks for all time you put in for all of us.

Keep up the fantastic work! You are so far ahead of other rating websites, I don't bother looking at them anymore. No BS, just actual testing. Thank you.

Les gars... vous êtes en feu. Merci beaucoup pour votre travail exemplaire. Grâce à vous, nous, les consommateurs, sommes mieux informés aujourd’hui que n’importe quand dans le passé. J’espère que votre travail est rentable.

This is great. Given the price of high-end TV's and the doubts surrounding OLED, a test of this kind is vitally important. It will be interesting how the manufacturers might react to the results.

Rting is the best source for TVs reviews. I learned a lot and hope we see more reviews for more brands

i didn't know oled had a screen burn problem until i came across your channel you have just saved me thousands of pounds thank you i will deffo keep an eye on how this test goes over the next few months i was planning to buy 3x oled 4k screens for my gaming setup so big thank you for stopping me in my tracks and informing me about this issue

i brought my oleded tv based on your ratings and its awesome that you guys are doing this test to help us prevent burnt in!

i stumbled upon this video as it was shown in my "recommended" section ... how can you guys only have 36k subs ? even the reviews in the website are just crazy good

You guys deserve more subscription

Excellent choices guys, best burn-in test I've seen. Thanks for giving it another try. I personally saw severe image retention on an OLED from 2016, running the same 3 minute demo for 11 hours a day, 7 days a week. The panel was mostly fine, but a clear image of the brand's logo was burned into the middle of the screen. I can't wait to see the results with more realistic usage!

You guys nailed it..... All the doubts about testing OLED screens for me are cleared. Looking forward for the results..... Best of luck....

You guys do a great job. I bought my current TV based on your reviews a few years ago and it's the best TV I've ever had. I look forward to seeing the results of these burn-in tests.

In fact I'm more worried about poor near blacks than image retention in OLEDs. I hope you guys consider some detailed assessment of the near black issues in OLEDs. In any case this about image retention is one very exhaustive test you guys are doing. If I could think of anything to mention, it would be that all OLEDs being tested here are from LG, but I know all the other brands offering OLED use LG panels in the end, so no issue. Only looking forward to your updates and the evolution of the results. Great job, well done guys! PS. Please consider evaluating the quality of near blacks in OLED. Perfect blacks are kind of pointless to some extent when everything near black might look terribly posterized/with bad uniformity issues

holy crap...this is a comprehensive test. I subscribed just to see the results of this test. Looking forward to exploring the channel more. What I want to know is how you're affording all of this (tons of TV's, electricity usage, etc.) since the channel isn't big enough to be making tons of money yet.

3 things. First, you guys are awesome for going to such great lengths for consumers. Second, if people have their t.v. on for 20 hours a day they need to reevaluate their entire lives. Third, I have an LG OLED B6 that I've watched hours of football, played games like madden and nba live that have static images, and tons of other content and have had no issues. As mentioned in another comment, LG has a screen saver that comes on after a few mins of no activity to avoid burn in. I've had the tv for 8 months and will probably buy another one in the future. You can't beat the range of color and true blacks that these tv's produce. Simply amazing. Thanks for the great video 👍

Thank you. I just purchased a 65C7P but i will use this to understand more of how to help prevent Burn-in

the amount of work that is going into these tests.. i salut to you.. i have the 2017 lg oled 55 7D so i am stoked for the new test! thanks again for the work i can only say thank you :)

Loving my OLED 3yrs now 1080p model best tv ever! Never owned an LCD TV went from CRT to OLED couldnt stand any LCD models. Now have a 4K VA tv as a PC monitor very good picture which suits a straight on view. I love my OLED TV so much!

I've had my 55 LG oled for 2 months... im still in love no problems at all

Thank you guys for doing this test because I have an LG E6P that has suffered burn in due to my parents litterally watching CNN 24/7 non stop. I'm currently waiting for CES to buy my next oled just for me and personal use as a gamer and some one who streams alot.

Amazing service you are providing here. I am JUST about to purchase a 65 In Oled from LG and the burn in issue is bothering me. So will for sure decide upon your results.! Thanks guys. great Video, !!

I have the LG C6 since March last year. I use it at most 8-10 hours a day. Use it for different content that includes movies, shows, sports, live tv and gaming. No screen burns so far. Who watches the same content on screen 20 hours a day.

Brilliant Channel. Thank you for this! Why do you guys only have 35K subs??? You deserve MUCH more.

Impressive test! If I can give my opinion, I would suggest to use one of those oleds to do a more real life test: 5 hours of fifa+1 hour off 5 hours of video with no logo (to simulate a netflix use)+1 hour off 5 hours of broadcast tv with logo+1 hour off I think this kind oh test could reflect a more real life scenario, since probably most of the people will not watch the same content all day. Anyway thank you for doing these unique tests!!! Nobody else is giving us these useful informations.

So glad to see you guys put Oled to the test ...making it prove itself best of the best or just a TV one has to babied ..like plasma is/was. I feel you should ramp up the brightness on more of the tests to show just what happens to OLED when a customer TRIES to get the nits up anywhere near LED. Thanks for listening

People need to understand the difference between image retention and burn in. Great tests by the way :)

Impressive testing. Subscribed instantly to watch the results when they appear :)

I got the LG OLED C7V in 65” and I play a lot of games on my Xbox One X. I got absolutely no BI issues at all. The key is - I like to play most of my games with no HUD because it’s much more immersive. I tell you graphics in 4K looks like I’m playing games on my high end PC. It’s simply stunning. And with only 21ms. input lag the LG C7V is great for gaming.

I'll be checking in with your results, as I just bought same tv back in Dec. Looking forward to future videos!

GRATZ and THANK YOU for being the only site taking the Burn-in/IR issue seriously enough to make a long-term test. The "torture" test results speak for themselves. Really fed up of reviewers stating that this is a non-issue for OLED despite what some users are posting in the forums. I´m really looking forward to the results under "normal" conditions, as I do use my TV also as a PC monitor and this issue has stopped me from buying an OLED despite it´s superior image quality.

Afraid to waste money on OLED because of fear of burn in

You all are great reviewers. This test is so granular it likley puts the manufacturer tests to shame

Thank you for doing this, this is crucial information for all the people who are considering getting a OLED tv.

well done guys awesome test setup :-) going above and beyond the call of duty - can't wait to see the results, kudos

I was going to buy one as a monitor, glad I went with the x900e instead.

wow, this looks great, thank you very much for all your efforts! I'm interested in seeing the results as time progresses

I have a B6 and play PS4 PRO & XBOX and or watch Netflix a few hours a day. Zero burn in. Love it. Great content Rtings. Keep it up 😎

Exactly what I need before deciding to spend money on OLED TV. Looking forward to results :)

This is my favorite channel. You guys rock

Sounds like a very thorough approach. I probably won't be buying OLED until burn in is permanently resolved.

As a owner of a 2016 LG OLED (65E6P) television I can confirm that turning the OLED LIGHT down to about 40 does mitigate most burn in scenarios. This allows me to play video games with HUD elements and static content. I would like to see you guys run a test with that in mind on the 2017 models. So perhaps a 7th TV with CNN at 40 OLED LIGHT.

rtings is the best of tv testing

You guy are the best tv reviews and testers by far awesome work

i had my b6 since nov2016 and i game on it for about 2 - 3 hours. it now has burn in for first 3 - 4 months having the tv. i really wish lg's warranty covers burn in, but they don't since they know it will happen.

Exceptional work guys keep up the good work, waiting for your results, new proud C7 owner here :)

Fantastic test guys. Very interetested in how it turns out. I'd also be curious if you guys could run the TVs through any correction tools the TVs offer (like the old scrolling black on Plasmas) and show a before/after to see how it affects the burn-in.

Excellent and very informative video , thank you. I have a LG E6 and thankfully I don't have no burn in, but 'll be careful from now on not to leave any static image 's on for to long.

Thank you so much for putting together such a thorough test environment. I'm currently in the market for a tv and am trying to decide what to buy. This will surely help a lot.

This is the best website for tv and everything related content, congratulations, im thinking in buying a new tv set and was looking at the oled b6.

Didn't know you guys had a KZfaq channel! I love your website; I'm definitely subscribing!

Had my OLED B7A for almost 3 months primarily used with streaming shows and gaming and had zero retention issues. Games with static images have had no burn in. Usually game for an hour to an hour and a half at a time.

Thank u so much for doing this! I have the LG c7 and being careful. Can't wait 2 c the results

Great test set-up! I've been waiting for this for a long time. Subscribed today!

This channel deserve more subs! Great work guys!

Hi guys, I strongly suggest watching content with letterboxes. I've noticed that I'm getting burn-ins from those, but mostly on top. I have the OLED65B7P and since the bottom part is darker, I'm assuming LG did this intentionally to prevent burn ins from logos like CNN etc, I don't get the bottom letterbox rectangle burnt in. I have to do the Pixel Refresh process at least twice so it eliminates this almost completely. Then a little bit of Call of Duty WW2, and it's gone eventually. FYI, since your testing this on Fifa and Call of duty, these are 2 games where I constantly see the vertical and horizontal banding which are known issues for these OLED models. In Fifa it's bad as the soccer field's grass lines is always panning left to right and vice versa. In Call of Duty WW2, if you play the prologue zombies game, this is where you see all the lines for all the banding on this TV model. I appreciate these videos and taking the time to this these things. Merci Cédric!!! thanks to the whole team at RTING.COM

Subscribed!! Awesome idea. I am huge fan of oled technology. Using phones only with oled screens. I never had any burn in issue. But TV is different story altogether. I think burn in on TV would be limited to labs or experiment. If you change channel for even one min per hour and change channel for different reasons (that is more likely in real life usage) you won't see any burnin. I would like to suggest 1) put atleast one tv in your office or home where people change channel frequently. 2) Design one micro controlled to change channel every 2 hours (movie lenght).

Very interesting, looking forward to seeing your findings throughout the year.

Wow what a great channel . Stumbled on this by accident

Awesome work you guys are doing in Montreal. Keep it up!

Great! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the results!

Looking forward to see the test results! I would suggest to have one more C7 and that you run the same test like you did with LG B6 to see if there is any improvement between these two models.

I HAVE SUBSCRIBED JUST TO FOLLOW THIS OLED BURN-IN TEST. Good work guys. Much Appreciated for your hard work and real world results. Also, if you could simulate PC Web browsing usage, that will be a great addition to your TV tests - E.G Static Chrome tabs or Windows task bar burn-in.

Perfect that you hearing of the people who criticize you! I'm impressed :)

You just got my subscription. I’ll be fascinated with these results - in part because I’ve just bought my own B7 (65 inch) just before Christmas, and as a fan of F1 racing, movies and gaming your results may be indicative of what’s ahead. The only thing I would suggest though is more and more gamers will be playing in HDR which will, if set up correctly, increase the OLED backlight to 100%. So a 60% backlight setting may be kinder than the reality?

I severely burned-in an LCD TV even though that’s not supposed to be possible. Usage patterns are so important! In my case I think the mounting position and my climate allowed the panel to overheat and made pixels highly vulnerable to permanent change even with quite short periods of displaying white.

I can only imagine how much work you guys put into these tests. Much much appreciated. My only suggestion is splitting the set up into 3 LGs and 3 Sony A1Es. Sony claims that their oled TVs burn in less than LG.

So much scare mongering in the industry over oled tvs. Great to see some extensive testing to objectively show what the case is. (I have a LG B6 OLED I recently bought and love it - have no problems what so ever) I haven't seen any after images either which used to bug me about plasma tvs

I just bought an LG OLED TV and you guys are trying to rain on my parade.

I was on the fence for months about OLED. Was certain I was going to buy a B7. I believe here on rtings they give the B7 a score of 1.2 out of 10 for image retention and burn in. At the last minute I decided against the B7 and went with the sony x900e on December 27th. Maybe in a few years I'll go OLED. We'll see how the technology improves. I've been more than happy with my Sony LCD so far.

I like this test I think you guys do real good reviews and test. I will be checking in on this test.

best tv test channel you guys are the best

Love this, I definitely want an OLED tv but burn in is my worry, as I play video games with HUDs, watch news & sports with a HUD as well. Still hoping for a micro LED 4k TV in the near future, that would have great color spectrum, response rate & no burn in issues

Thank you so much for your hard work, you guys are the best among the best.

Is this content in HDR? I'm wondering if the extra brightness (especially on HUD elements) would cause more degredation than SD content. Your control test w/ TV's 1+2 indirectly addresses this, but I'm mostly just curious if you're using HDR content (cod WW2 is available in HDR, so if not, why not?) Also did you use the pixel refresher to verify that that isn't just temporary image retention? Great tests though guys. You're generating invaluable consumer information, and we should all thank you for it.. Cause I wasn't about to buy 5 more c7s to do it myself!

Thanks for doing this. I work in film and use OLEDS regularly so I’m very curious about these cheaper consumer models

If you simply want the best picture quality then get an OLED and take care of it. If you are okay with a slightly lower quality picture in order to avoid burn in, then get a QLED

Great test! I hope in games, you include at least few percent of other content like menus, windows desktop / console menus, lobby, etc. Not just the gameplay itself.

I’m doing the exact same test with my new (not so new now) OLED B7 and with this I wanna say that this is a super real life test 😂😂 and I really don’t know if I wanna see the results or I just turn on my TV and put a solid color test 😂😂 you are the best guys, and I’m afraid cause the retention is worst in the B7 than in the C7 😰

Just came across this channel y damn it's GOOD. Great job you guys

I have a B6P with 14k hours and no burn in. I have only seen screen retention one time when using Hulu the gray back round had a slight image then quickly vanished. I gamed on it bout 6-7 k hours no issues as of yet. And I just picked up a c7p and I am not worried one bit about burn in

Thank you for this!! I love you guys channel and what your doing. Very thorough 👌👌

Good deal. Looking forward to the results

You guys are doing a fine Job...thanks for the info provided.

this new Test will be really usefull, thx for the adaptation

I would love to see how these displays respond to any attempt at corrective action afterwards. Sorry if I’ve missed this having been explained before.

You always do a great job,and we can't thank you enough for it. But you never talk about the main issue a lot of people facing it the yellow tint or Pink tint.

Been using my c6 oled primarily for gaming for the last year and half with no burn in, or any other issues whatsoever! And I have hundreds of hours on games like witcher 3 and cod. What I do get is massive wow factor everytime I turn on the TV and looking at eye watering games that no other display can match honesty, especially when that hdr comes on (horizon zero dawn).. The only, and I mean the only thing that I would change is have more hdmi ports, that's all really!

This is exactly why I went Sony 930E over the LG C7 - I game. A LOT. Didn't want to worry about any amount of burn-in on screen. 930E looks pretty amazing, even in a dark room.

I own a LG C7 OLED. I’m really curious to see this. Also, great work thus far

i have seen a comment where the user reported the shadow outline of a head and shoulders in the center of the screen. Also there is another open box unit that displays burn in of LG's own screen saver images. So even repetitive images as in LG's screen saver can degrade pixels as well.

Well done. This will really help me determine either buying the OLED or Sony 900E since I am looking for high quality HDR functionality for both gaming and HDR 4k content.

Could you test a method I've seen used on mobile phones to "fix" burn in by letting it display a negative image for a long time "inverting" the damage. You could use the old TVs from the previous test and see if the damage could be "undone". I know that what it is actually doing is burning in the remaining pixels, but i'dd rather have a more even picture than a permanent watermark.

Thank you for doing this! This is really impressive stuff. Great work!
