If you are experiencing burn-in issues on your Samsung OLED TV screen, please keep reading.

What is burn-in?

Burn-in is a visible mark that is left on the screen and remains no matter what you are watching or doing. This may be caused by leaving a fixed image on the screen for a long period of time and can be particularly noticeable on OLED TVs.

Note:

  • Some features, such as reservation, recording, and voice recognition, may not be available during Pixel Refresh.
  • Run this function when you are experiencing image retention on your screen.
  • If the problem persists, contact Samsung Service for help.

Avoid playing video games that display fixed images for a long time

Most video games have some form of a user interface that gives you more information. This could be the speedometer in a racing game or the crosshair and health bar in an action game. If these features stay in the same place or if you play the game for a prolonged period of time, burn-in could happen.

Note:

  • If you are having trouble with your Samsung Smart TV, you should always check to see if there are any software updates available as these may contain a fix for your problem.
  • Device screenshots and menus may vary depending on the device model and software version.
