tired of your LG TV flickering just when
0:02
you're trying to relax you're not alone
0:04
But good news we're going to fix it fast
0:06
In this video I'll walk you through
0:08
step-by-step fixes from simple setting
0:10
tweaks to deeper checks Let's start with
0:11
the basics Unplug your LG TV directly
0:14
from the wall Skip the power strip Then
0:16
press and hold the physical power button
0:18
on the TV for 15 to 30 seconds After
0:21
that wait at least 5 minutes before
0:22
plugging it back in 30 minutes is even
0:24
better if you've got the time Now turn
0:26
it on and see if that annoying flicker
0:28
is gone Still flickering no worries
0:30
we're just getting started Try plugging
0:31
the TV into a different wall socket
0:33
preferably one you haven't used before
0:35
and again skip the extension cords or
0:37
surge protectors while testing Now take
0:39
a look at your cables Unplug all HDMI or
0:42
input cables and give those HDMI ports a
0:45
quick clean using a can of compressed
0:47
air Once clean try different HDMI ports
0:50
If you've got a spare HDMI cable you
0:52
trust swap it in to rule out faulty
0:54
wiring to figure out if the flickering
0:56
is coming from your TV or something
0:58
connected to it Unplug all HDMI cables
1:00
and other input devices Then open the TV
1:03
menu using your remote If the menu
1:05
flickers even when nothing's connected
1:07
that likely means the panel itself is
1:08
the issue not your devices Let's try
1:10
some settings now First turn off energy
1:12
saving mode Just head to settings then
1:14
all settings and look under picture or
1:16
support wherever energy saving is listed
1:18
and switch it off completely Next switch
1:20
up your picture mode to see if that
1:22
helps If motion smoothing or dynamic
1:24
contrast is on go ahead and turn those
1:26
off too If the screen's looking too
1:28
harsh or bright try lowering the panel
1:30
brightness or adjusting the gamma
1:32
setting While you're in there run a
1:34
picture test Go to settings then all
1:36
settings and then support Look for
1:38
screen self diagnosis or you can go
1:40
through picture and then picture test
1:42
Follow the onscreen steps It's a quick
1:44
way to check for deeper panel problems
1:47
If you have an OLED TV there's one more
1:49
smart fix you can try The pixel
1:50
refresher Go to settings then picture
1:52
and then OLED panel settings and select
1:55
pixel refresher Just don't run it too
1:57
often only when really needed Now time
1:59
to check for updates Go to settings then
2:01
all settings and head over to general
2:03
From there select about this TV Tap
2:05
check for updates and if one's available
2:07
install it While you're at it turn on
2:09
auto update so your TV stays futureproof
2:12
Still no luck you can try a factory
2:13
reset Go to settings then all settings
2:15
and navigate to general Select system
2:17
and choose reset to initial settings
2:19
Enter your PIN 000000 is the default if
2:22
you haven't changed it and confirm Let
2:24
the TV restart on its own And that's it
2:26
for this quick flicker fix on your LG TV
2:29
Hopefully one of these steps did the
2:31
trick and your screen's back to normal
