My OLED LG 55C7P has what I call a burn in issue. In the upper left corner my wife noticed the DISH logo. You can hardly see it in the attached pics. I performed a pixel refresh but it is still there. Can anyone help me?
OK, thanks. Wonder how it could happen! I never see the DISH logo in real time. Must be running in the background.Do the Pixel Refresh a few more times. If it doesn't clear it, then it probably is true burn-in, and likely is permanent.
OK, will tomorrow. It is more like something bleeding thru from the Hopper. It is doing the pixel refresh thing now and we have gone to bed. Also tomorrow, going to leave the Hopper off and see if we still see it while watching something thru the TV. Will post back tomorrow.If it's possible for you to turn down the screen brightness a little bit without it making things too dark, I highly suggest you do so. I had to do that to my LG LED tv set after it blew out a few led's, and the screen would go black at random (shorted out the switching power supply, which shut down to protect itself). I had to tear the set completely apart, and replace the bad led strips. Not an easy job, as those screens are like holding a sheet of ICE in your hands, and hoping it doesn't snap.
I've never had another problem after replacing the bad strips, and then turning down the brightness.
Thanks Tampa8.Oled is more prone to image retention, or burn in (two different but related things) more than LCD. You may have image retention which is much more short term and you should be able to get rid of it. Like you I wonder how the DISH image even got retained. How often would it even be there in one in spot.
The OLED Screen Burn Debate - Everything You Need To Know
Got TV in November 2017. I did purchase a BB policy that ends 01/09/2020. Do you think it is covered? It is so faint it doesn't bother me, BUT my commander is pissed.How many months have you had it?

Yep, wife says that is it. Same dish that shows in the guide. We hardly ever use the guide. When we do it is not there long.Just had a thought, does the logo appear there when you have the guide showing? Might explain where it came from maybe it isn't how long it is displayed but that it is displayed in the same place often?
Compared to OLED, LCD doesn't suffer burn-in.Oled is more prone to image retention, or burn in (two different but related things) more than LCD.
Apparently not. It takes some fairly persistent images to cause burn-in and something popping up for a couple of minutes a day total should not leave a recognizable mark. If the time is measured in hours, burn-in is a foregone conclusion with OLED (even the latest models).We hardly ever use the guide. When we do it is not there long.
Yep, I see it in the DVR list too in my Hopper 3.Apparently not.

On my HWS, the DISH logo appears in DVR list as well as the guide.
Well, that was clear as mud. Good thing I can hardly see the retention or burn in or what ever it is. I guess will just live with it. Wife isn't bitching that much. I will check my BB extended warranty but doubt it is covered. I just don't get how the dish logo can show like that in the upper left corner. We hardly use the guide and not in the DVR menu that long. We watch CBS about 80% of the time and the CBS logo is not burned in. We presently have 7078 hours on this OLED.Oled is more prone to image retention, or burn in (two different but related things) more than LCD.

Thanks DWS44. I already have the phone number ready. I am going to call for the hell of it.This is interesting...haven't paid much attention to OLED, since I'm not a big fan of LG in general...but I thought burn-in had largely become a thing of the past.
Charles, I'd at least look into that warranty coverage. Probably a longshot, but you might get lucky with BB!
