I want to ask that what is the ideal total power on time for a new lg tv. I bought one and it already shows 1048 hours. Is this possible for a new tv? Anyone have any idea?

Hi Rohit,

I was not even aware this was a feature, where did you find it and what is the model of your television?

I recently bought a "new" OLED65C8 and it indicated a "Total Power On Time" of 3999 hours.   I contacted LG Support via chat for an explanation and they abruptly terminated the chat, without explanation,  when I asked how accurate this metric was and what tolerances it has.

I suppose this metric could be an artifact from when the OS was imaged onto the new TV.  However, in the worst case, a shady retailer could be selling used/refurbished product as new.  But, if I'm not mistaken, this metric can be reset via the service panel.  If so, you'd think the shady individual would also reset the hours to zero.

I'll post again if I find any thing that is significant.

FWIW, after a subsequent contact with LG Customer Service,  providing a serial number and asking for any available history related to this serial, I was able to learn the following.

My TV was identified as a store demo assigned to one of the larger retail  chains.

I guess the take away from all of this is:

1. The "Total Power On Time" is a very useful metric to investigate

2. Some retailers do shady things

First thing I did was check this when we bought our 86UH9500 new back in 2017 - it was sold as open box which was really more like crappy, taped up box but never used.  Out of the box, it was obvious the set had never been used, all packing and wrap was in place, still had that new TV smell.  

I had trouble with the app you can use to check the up time in the service menu but also found it in the General/About this TV menu and it had 1 -2 hours if memory serves, if that.  Subsequent registration with LG confirmed the set was new, never registered etc. 

Interesting note: with an app or a service remote, you can actually reset the time.  I found this out by accident when I reset the TV after restoring changes a technician had made that made the TV unwatchable.

      At LG, the philosophy of Life’s Good revolves around promoting positivity and encouraging individuals to adopt an optimistic outlook on life. In alignment with this mission, the company launched the “Optimism your feed” campaign earlier this year. This initiative aims to break the cycle of negativity often perpetuated by social media algorithms, infusing online spaces with a refreshing wave of lighthearted cheer.

      The “Optimism your feed” playlist features a wide collection of original content aimed at uplifting spirits and spreading hope. By engaging with this playlist, users can teach the algorithm to curate their feeds with similar positive material. Within just three weeks of its launch, the playlist amassed over 1.2 billion views across various social media platforms, demonstrating its widespread appeal and resonance with audiences around the globe.
      While this campaign seeks to inject positivity into social media, traditional broadcast news often focuses on more serious narratives. In Mexico, for instance, news outlets frequently spotlight stories of violence and organized crime, fostering an atmosphere of sadness and anger that can overshadow positive messages. To counter this trend and promote the brand promise of Life’s Good through traditional media, LG Mexico partnered with Milenio Television, the country’s largest TV news network, to launch a local campaign series titled “Good News Is Also News.”

      To date, the series has showcased eight true stories of resilience and hope, reminding viewers that there is more to life than negative headlines. Good news exists – and it deserves to be shared. Filled with optimism and love, this initiative has resonated with the public, garnering views and positive feedback across social media and the network’s streaming platforms.
      The premiere episode features the inspiring journey of two members of the “Pinche Gringo BBQ” team, illustrating how passion and determination can turn dreams into reality. The second installment highlights a street juggler from Mexico City, known as “Corbatín,” who shares his own uplifting story.

      The third episode introduces Violeta, a teacher at the LG-supported NGO “Villa de las Niñas,” who, despite facing personal loss and hardship, bravely confronts challenges and embraces the future. Following this, the fourth story, “Just Good News,” emphasizes the power individuals have to fill their social media feeds with positivity and joy. This episode aligns with the global “Optimism your feed” campaign, focusing on how algorithms can be trained to deliver uplifting stories when viewers choose to engage with positive content.

      The fifth episode, titled “Seres Libres,” spotlights an animal sanctuary in Mexico City dedicated to rescuing and caring for abandoned and mistreated animals. This story illustrates how the Life’s Good message extends to all living beings, underscoring the importance of compassion and care for the natural world.
      The sixth and latest installment tells the story of Litine, a Haitian migrant who arrives in Mexico in search of a better life. His journey exemplifies how brave optimism can help overcome obstacles, as he continues to pursue his dreams with a positive mindset while working at a convenience store.

      Through nationwide broadcasts, Milenio Television has shared the optimistic message of Life’s Good with over 350 million people. This partnership encourages locals to embrace a positive outlook and apply the “Optimism your feed” initiative to all aspects of life – because, indeed, Life’s Good.

      I'm having this problem with LG Oled 65c16LA with WebOs Version 03.40.85
      When I turn off the TV, it goes into standby mode.
      After 2 minutes the red standby LED turns off and it is no longer possible to turn the TV back on with the remote or with the power on button.
      It is then necessary to unplug the power supply, wait a few minutes and reconnect it.
      So the TV goes back to standby and you can turn it on again. In use everything works.
      Is it a software problem? How can I solve it?
      Thank you

      I'm hard of hearing, and even with hearing aids I have to turn the volume so high that it deafens everyone else.
      It would make my life easier if I could listen on headphones while everyone else listens to the speaker.
