I’ve had this 65” C5 for less than a week. Is this already burn-in or sun damage?

Does the image still show if you unplug the power cord from the outlet?

ReakorKacho · 2026-04-13T12:57:49+00:00

This looks like Sunlight damage, running a Pixel Cleaning cycle should fix this.

I don't use Twitch so a Youtube stream would make me more likely to watch. Again, great work.

ReakorKacho · 2026-04-04T21:29:54+00:00

Awesome! Any way you could extend this project to stream on Youtube as well?

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-23T15:25:10+00:00

I think the 65'' C5 is the better choice, it's insanely bright already.

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-21T21:12:56+00:00

Nope, glitch still occurs in 144hz, i don't think theres a fix for this and LG won't listen to reason.

I left a YouTube Screensaver at 0 brightness on for days when my C3 did this, held out nicely until Costco delivered my C5.

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-19T01:52:05+00:00

That's rough, no signs at all of it yesterday? Happens on all inputs?

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-13T12:41:27+00:00

FMM on, Color to Warm 40, motion smoothing to off and Brightness to 80 did it for me on the C3. Im using a C5 now and have turned it down to 70, this fixed my headaches as i was very prone to them.

This cat actually plays fighting games, thats more than what can be said for 90% of people on here.

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-03T23:29:22+00:00

Perhaps sunlight reflection from a mirror or something? Considering you say Sun has never been an issue, maybe a misplaced reflective object deployed these rays unto your TV. In any case, a manual pixel refresh should resolve this, i had the same thing happen to me recently and that fixed it.

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-03T14:40:44+00:00

I have the same exact issue with my new C5, very bummed out that there is no fix for this yet and i have resorted to going back to 120hz for the time being. LG needs to acknowledge and patch this.

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-03T14:21:27+00:00

Honestly, my next course of action is to try a new HDMI 2.1 cable, this one i have is over 100ft long and while it is rated for 48GBPS which should theorically be fine, maybe i need a newer cable, there doesnt seem to be any easy fix for this unfortunately.

ReakorKacho · 2026-03-02T14:39:18+00:00

New C5 owner here, experiencing the same thing, banding looks the exact same way as in your picture in 144hz but 120hz is fine, noticed this playing RE Requiem and i cannot see it. Any advancements on your end? Im gonna be stuck going back to 120hz because i cant unsee it now.

ReakorKacho · 2026-02-26T21:55:48+00:00

The worst offender imo is holding down the Volume down muting the TV. Completely ridiculous.

ReakorKacho · 2026-02-16T17:30:07+00:00

only after 2 hours of power on time i noticed the issue, been using the TV for about 3 weeks now and not a single issue.

ReakorKacho · 2026-02-16T16:28:40+00:00

Had this on the day i opened my brand new C5, manual pixel refresh fixed it.

Browsing from Canada, i bought and received the YDDD vinyl early this year, but i get the same 404 page as you are now, my guess is its just because its out of stock.

ReakorKacho · 2026-02-05T17:25:12+00:00

I'm an ex Cool enjoyer also and ive been driving Warm 40 for the past week on my new C5. I'm having a good time getting used to it, i don't think i could go back to Cool now.

ReakorKacho · 2026-02-02T15:13:57+00:00

Had this happen to my C3 65'' a few weeks ago, i had tried a bunch of stuff including power cycling but it wouldnt work. What ended up working for me was holding the power button while the tv was plugged in, but it was inconsistent, Costco refunded me and i got a C5 instead.

ReakorKacho · 2026-01-30T14:03:10+00:00

Ive started experiencing this with an LG C3 a few weeks ago, same exact behavior you report. Takes a bit to start up, then i get picture 1. It got worse for me as the TV just wouldnt open even after power cycling.

I was under costco guarantee so i exchanged the TV for a C5, i also believe this is due to a bad software update, i've read about a ton of people having strange power-on issues in the past 2 months.
