Today, you asked: If you live in a high-humidity environment, can you have an OLED?
Very steam for my TV?
Sean, our island Knight Nard Ohna, writes: I have recently bought a G -4But I did not consider humidity. Like a lot of old houses on o’hu, there is no A/C in my house. Should I be very worried about humid air in my home for longevity of my OLED and will it be worth buying a dehumidifier for this?
First of all, and I think anyone who was watching my Golden Year T66 speaker reviews may know a little about it, but I have a lot of family relations for Ohu. My father’s parents served in Pearl Harbor, my grandmother was one of the first female aircraft mechanics of the army, my father was born there, and my grandfather is resting in the Panchboel cemetery, more properly known as the National Memorial Cemetery of Pacific. I have spent a good amount of time on cruise vessels in the islands and in the high-humidity environment and I can tell you: if you have not experienced real humidity or even away from it for just two years, you forget. You may have memories, but your body forgets. Humidity can be a problem – not only for people, but also for all organic things – and it includes organic light emitting diode, which OLED TV uses to create a photo.
Humidity is not great for electronics in general, so already we are starting in a loss. OLED compounds are organic and they rapidly reduce high humidity environment, not only due to moisture but also due to quick oxidation.
However, an OLED TV is not going to die immediately. You will probably not notice a problem within a year, and perhaps two. After that, there is no guarantee because although you cannot see the issues immediately, chemical rupture is happening at a faster level than low humidity.
Scientific letters are published on this subject. Three Indian scientists published a comprehensive report about the impact of high humidity on the OLED display in the Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Therefore, if you live in a high-haloca environment and there is no climate control that controls humidity for the area where an OLED will be placed, then get a dehumidifier. This is a smart investment. As a bonus, the room will feel slightly cool, even if the temperature is similar to a adjacent, more humid room.
High heat can negatively affect the OLED display, but we are talking about long -term risk for high, direct heat. It is one of the several reasons that keeping OLED outdoor is generally a bad idea. Direct sunlight, even on a light day, can damage an OLED panel. Being a problem, do not worry so much about the heat in your house. OLED will not get hurt until you are painful from heat, and until the heat is too long, it should be cured until the heat is too long. The direct sunlight for a very long time, however, is not great, but most of the olads will not find much inside a house because the sun lasts throughout the day.
Possible light projector damage?
Here is another OLED safety question of Paolo, which writes: A 6,000-Leong-Long-Thro laser projector, directed on a motorized floor-razing projector screen with 0.4 mm acoustic pores, has any risk of damage to the laser project. Sony A95k QDI-Oled TV Immediately behind it? Unexpectedly, light on the panel when using projector and screen
I have to be very careful here. I want to say that I should have anything for your QD-Ald TV, because I have not measured and do not have difficult data to support my principle. However, with clearly revealing, I can say: I have extreme doubt that your OLED is at risk for damage.
First, the laser light source in your projector has been given the status of not exceeding 250 millivates. These labels can sometimes be wrong, but I think we are in the security sector – even if the projector has class 3 ratings and related warning stickers.
Second, if the projector is a single-lusted projector, it is a blue laser with a phosphor that is imposed on it, so that it can project a very pure white light. This phosphor makes the light source to spread immediately. If it is a three-liser projector, that power is being spread between red, green and blue light sources. This means that not all laser power is going out of full force all the time, unless it is not white. Still I am not worried.
Third, the light scatches both in the projector and as it leads to your screen. This means that the light beam will be quite weak at any single point on your OLED screen, until it reaches there and will only be for 30 seconds or less. Then, as long as your projector screen is up, the pinpoints of light that are obtained through the pores will be really weak.
In short, no, I am not worried about it. I think the 5mw laser pointer in the Point-Blanc range is not causing damage, so the possibility of damage to your projector is thin for anyone.
Remote wrangling for two close TVs
Anmar writes with another OLED question: We bought one LG C1 TV A few years ago, from which we are very happy, and your reviews were very helpful in making that decision. Because of this positive experience, I am thinking about buying the upcoming LG G5 for my parents. However, both TVs will be close to each other, and this may mean that a remote may accidentally indicate both TVs. Is it possible, and should I consider buying another brand, such as Samsung or Sony to avoid this issue? When I researched the issue, I wondered that there was a lack of a consistent and simple solution.
You are perfect to guess this potential problem – I experience it here in the studio all the time. I had a TCL QM7K set, and when I pressed the power button on the remote, QM891G 115-Inchr burnt the room as if it was these holidays.
Many remember the pair on their televisions through Bluetooth, and some commands are executed only on Bluetooth. This includes LG OLEDs. However, most remotes still use infrared (IR) for basic functions – the power button most specially. Some remotes enable many functions on infrared, with Bluetooth in the form of backup. In this way, if you go out of the line of vision, you can still control the basics of a TV – even when infrared signal cannot reach the infrared “eye” of the TV.
The biggest problem of most people in this situation is powering on TV. You want one TV to be turned on, but not the other. I can also hope that if TVs are quite close and running together at the same time, then you probably want the same programming on each.
Even if, here I have the best solution: Shield the infrared signal of remote from TV No Want to operate it. Infrared signals are very basic and most manufacturers do not modify them year -direct. So, the power button on a remote for C1 is likely to have an IR code similar to the power button for a C4 or C5, even if the remote looks different and has different buttons.
Is this a high -tech, clever, sexy and convenient way to handle the problem? No, but it works. There is no better solution that I know about, and this is probably because people often do not go into this problem.
Is it worth getting a separate TV brand to avoid this issue? I will leave you. If you have two TVs from the same brand, you have to mold the remote signal from the set you are not watching. If you buy another TV brand, you will need to use a different style remote with a different on-screen interface.
New brand for better photo?
Slovakia writes life: I still love my old Panasonic GZ950 OLED since 2019, but this year I finally decided to upgrade. I am considering LG C4 Or C5 too. Will I see a significant upgradation in picture quality or do I have to target for the flagship model? I am also worried about motion processing and color handling, because I hate Soap opera effectPanasonic handles it perfectly, and feels like a strange, special film that I like to see in other brands.
It is difficult. The LG C5 will be particularly bright than the Panasonic you have, as it is particularly bright than the LG C4. LG C4 can be a bit bright than your GZ950 – I think your panasonic was tested to produce up to 700 notes in 10 percent window and about 165 notes full screen white. LG C4 made around 800 nits in 10 percent window and perhaps a little more full screen.
While LG C4 has made 1,000 notes in small areas of the screen, LG C5 can do 1,000 NITs at 10 percent window. I haven’t tested it yet, but I think it will white-shine full-sphere compared to the LG C4, which means that it will be bright for SDR materials. LG has said that the C5 promotes a brightness compared to the previous years.
The processing of Panasonic is actually special, though. I like LG’s processing a lot: it has come a long way and can look very cinematic. However, the best processing is reserved for G series.
I want to ask: Why not consider another Panasonic OLED? Are they not available in your area? I think Z85 will do a good job for you.
Will there be a significant increase in picture quality? It depends on your sensitivity. I would say that as long as you are not unhappy with your current TV, do not replace it yet. Whenever time is right for you, fun and fancy new TV technology will be available. Remember: Your OLED TV is already amazing. This can only be more terrible in small increments.
Watch washed
Mark O’Hara writes: I have bought only an LG G4 OLED, which upgrade from LG C2 OLED. The quality of the picture is a difference of one night and day, but I have difficulty finding the sweet space for the picture settings. I typically like a bright and cool type picture and usually use a vivid preset in my home on my C2 and other TVs. The vivid setting is closest to what I like for G4, but it almost seems that the brightness is too much and the color washes accuracy and expansion. Many people talk about Filmmaker genreBut this setting is very little for my choice. To adjust to fix this problem or any other recommendations on which picture settings on Vivid Mode? Also I should enable settings like AI Picture Pro?
Some people do not want accuracy, and they do not want accuracy at the cost of glitter, which is why many types of vivid modes prefer. If people do not like vivid mode, TV brands do not put one in TV. They will have a store mode preset and it would be good.
The reason for this is that it is washed because it is washed out. TV is taking that white subpixel in your G4 at the point that it is washing the color to achieve white glow. In addition, the blue color channel in the RGB balance, which produces white, raises the way of the juice.
What can you do here? Select the vivid, but return the glowing setting slightly down so that it is not washed so much. By supporting the brightness setting, you are not losing all the benefits of the TV. If you return the blue channel in the 2-point white balance adjustment for the profit section, you may find it easier to the eyes. , When you make the blue color slightly back, you will not throw other colors meaningfully as they can be the same. Start with small adjustment and keep it back until you think it is easy to see. However, start with the brightness setting first, though.
