LG OLED C1 TV odd behaviour after nearly 2 years

8K gaming and football in the sunshine, while earlier the TV was happy to never leave your mancave.

Dude, get a life.

I think you are confusing my post with someone elses - otherwise show me a qoute of me saying that.

Tell me you've only ever experienced oled tvs via youtube videos and forums, without telling me ...

All you are doing is listing off hyperbole from years past, said in reviews and forum posts. Degrade super fast? Not usable in a brightly lit room? Are you sitting with the sun directly on your tv or something?

The major downside is that you have to let the display do the pixel refresh. Just the same as us oldtimers remember from having a plasma display. If you have to have your display on 24/7, then no, don't buy oled.

"Are you sitting with the sun directly on your tv or something?" Yep, and it's awesome - when you don't have an oled that is.

The % they lose is kinda irrelevant - their sustained number is what matters.

Really? Maybe for your unique situation but not for most I'd think.

Are you sitting with the sun directly on your tv or something?

If he is than OLED is out anyways as that is actually bad for their longevity...

Yep, and it's awesome

I'd say it's not awesome but an odd situation but yeah oled won't work for that.

Seems like it is the Soundbar doing it, the moment I unplug the HDMI cable the TV stays in standby mode.
Doesn't look like there is any settings on the soundbar itself, only other thing I may try is turning off HDMI SIMPLINK on the C1.

Disabling CEC/SIMPLINK should solve that.

Well after awhile it all seem well and dandy, now the TV refuses to go into standby mode.
Tried unplugging everything and no luck, it just turns itself back on until I turn it off from the wall socket.
May try to do a reset by holding power button down while its turned off from the mains.

So never unplug your LG OLED because after every 4 hours of panel usage it runs a panel maintenance routine when in standby mode. Don't mean to eb an alarmist or a drama queen but since you've been refusing your TV to run this maintenance routine for its entire lifetime it's possible that you've accelerated the panels natural degradation. Hence the constant need to run the pixel refresher. HOWEVER! That's just ONE potential explanation which, obviously, is nothing more than a hypotheses..just a speculation on one possible root cause...
More likely than not is that it's not that bad at all. Just so you know there's no need to feel bad or panic over it.

Cheers and good luck!

What mine actually does is..if I turn it on from the wall socket, the standby light doesn't even light up until like seconds later and the pressing the power button on the remote does nothing until the standby light flips on.
Before the standby light would turn on almost immediately which allows me to power it on from the remote.

That sounds like aging capacitors, to me.

Well I'll know what to do next time when I do inevitable need to replace the C1 if I don't choose to get it fixed by LG technician.
As I mentioned above, it won't turn off(standby mode) in the morning I was using the TV.
