Maintenance
3.1 Pixel Care
LG OLED TVs feature a pixel cleaning process that runs automatically when the TV is turned off after a certain period of use. This helps maintain picture quality and prevent image retention. The webOS Re:New Program ensures your TV receives software updates and feature refreshes for up to 5 years, which can include optimizations for pixel management.

3.2 General Cleaning
To clean the screen, gently wipe it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the screen. For the TV body, a damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Be cautious of the screen's surface, as it can be susceptible to scratches from sharp objects.
Troubleshooting
4.1 Common Issues and Solutions
- Screen Glare/Reflections: OLED screens can be reflective. Position the TV away from direct light sources (windows, lamps) or use curtains/blinds to minimize glare.
- Remote/Interface Navigation: Some users may find the Magic Remote's D-pad and wheel navigation takes getting used to. Practice using both the motion pointer and traditional D-pad for optimal control. If the voice command button is accidentally pressed, simply press the back button to return to your content.
- WebOS Initial Setup: During initial setup, webOS may present various content options and subscription services. You can configure the TV to boot directly into a preferred input device if you wish to bypass the webOS home screen upon startup.
