LG OLED Wiki FAQ — Auto‑Dimming, Burn‑In, PC Setup, Calibration

Quick Answers

How do I stop my LG OLED from auto‑dimming during static scenes?

Disable the protection features responsible for dimming: TPC (ASBL) and GSR. See Disable Auto‑Dimming (TPC & GSR). For a deep dive on TPC behavior, read Disable TPC Guide.

Why can’t I disable TPC/GSR on my C3/G3?

Many 2023+ models restrict consumer access to these toggles to protect panel longevity. See the limitation notes in Disable Auto‑Dimming.

Use a service remote (or emulated equivalent) and code “0413.” Change only what you understand. Follow the Service Menu Access mini‑guide.

Can I use an LG OLED as a PC monitor without ruining it?

Yes — set the HDMI label to PC for 4:4:4, use 4K 120Hz over HDMI 2.1, output RGB Full (0–255), and enable HiDPI scaling on macOS. Follow LG OLED as PC Monitor — Setup & Burn‑In Prevention.

Will disabling TPC/GSR void my warranty or cause burn‑in?

It can increase risk. Keep sessions short, use screensavers, ensure ventilation, and re‑enable if you see heat/image issues. Review the risk section in the auto‑dimming guide.

What are Screen Shift and Logo Luminance?

Built‑in mitigations that subtly move pixels and dim around logos to reduce static image risk. They’re safer alternatives when you can’t disable TPC/GSR. See the Protection Features Overview.

Text looks soft or colored on desktop — how do I fix it?

Confirm 4:4:4 chroma (PC label), RGB Full output, and correct scaling. Troubleshoot using the PC monitor guide.

Do I need 10‑bit color on desktop?

It helps reduce banding in gradients and is useful for content creation workflows. It’s optional but recommended if supported.
