The replacement was found in deuterium, a hydrogen isotope that provided a more stable bond for the carbon atoms. That original process also used carbon-hydrogen bonds in the organic element that, as image scientists found out later, were relatively quick to deteriorate. However, they cost a mint because of the low yields of the manufacturing process and the overhead of R&D. That's because OLED offered great black levels and fantastic color saturation.

Need a new OLED TV while you wait? Check out the MLA-equipped LG G3 OLED or cutting-edge Samsung S95C OLED that uses a QD-OLED panel.Early OLED TVs were seen as the torch-bearer for plasma TVs after manufacturers moved away from their production. I've got high hopes for next year's model - we'll find out how many of them LG can implement before the TV makes its appearance at CES 2024. It’s a tall order - especially on top of all the other proposed changes - but it’s something I think LG might be able to pull off with the C4 OLED.

To LG’s credit, it swapped the panel technology to the C-Series in the past without increasing the price, first when it switched to the first-generation EX OLED panels and then again in 2022 when it brought OLED EVO panels to the C-Series. OK, I know I’m asking a lot here, but I don’t want the price to go after these new features have been implemented: One of the most appealing parts of the LG C-Series in the last few years is how affordable it’s been - and I don't want that to change. Improvement #5: The price of the TV to stay the same A solar-powered remote would not only save me a fortune on batteries, but it’d be great for the planet - something that companies like LG are striving for themselves. Why? Because batteries aren’t great for the environment, and at the rate I go through them for remotes around the house, I might as well start my own electronics recycling business. Look, I love LG’s Wii-inspired Magic Remote as much as the next reviewer, but honestly, I’d trade it in a heartbeat for one of Samsung’s solar-powered remotes. It's basic, but a solar-powered remote like the one that comes with Samsung OLED TVs would be a huge addition to the LG C4 OLED. Sure, these updates only took about 20 to 30 seconds, but it just feels so unnecessary to wait for them in a world where auto-updating apps exist. Nearly every time I went to use an app during my review of the LG B2 OLED, it needed an update. Unfortunately, that lesson hasn’t quite made its way over to TV manufacturers.
#LG OLED BURNIN UPDATE#
One of the best improvements Microsoft and Sony made to the Xbox Series X and PS5 were the ability for games to update themselves when you’re not playing them. It’s a small change, but it’s one that would mean a world of difference when it comes to everyday use. Instead of simply turning on the screensaver after two minutes of sitting idle, maybe implement a pop-up that asks “Are you still watching?” after five minutes instead. I want LG to trust in deuterium to do its job while still allowing the user some protection from potential overuse. What I’d like to see in the next generation of OLED TVs - in particular the C4 OLED - is a compromise here.

That said, LG still uses some pretty draconian techniques to prevent burn-in. LG has made some huge strides in this area over the last few years since the introduction of its EX panels that use a stable hydrogen isotope called deuterium.

Burn-in - or, more broadly, pixel degradation - is an issue that we’ve been writing a lot about here at Tom’s Guide.
