- Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation around the TV. Do not block the ventilation openings on the back of the TV.
- Avoid Static Images: While OLED TVs have features to prevent burn-in, it is advisable to avoid displaying static images or logos for prolonged periods. Utilize screen savers or turn off the TV when not in use.
- Power Management: Unplug the TV from the power outlet during lightning storms or when it will be left unattended for long periods.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LG OLED G1 TV, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

- Remote Not Working: Replace the batteries in the Magic Remote. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV.
- Picture Quality Issues: Check the picture settings (e.g., Picture Mode, Brightness, Contrast) and adjust them as needed. Ensure your content source is of high quality.
- Smart Features/App Issues: Ensure the TV is connected to the internet. Try restarting the TV by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
- Auto Dimming: OLED TVs feature auto-dimming to prevent burn-in. If the screen dims after prolonged static content, this is normal behavior. Adjusting picture settings or changing content usually resolves this.
