LG G2 OLED

[catcatcher]

Just a quick question regarding the above television. We recently bought one and have had to swap it three times. The first had ‘ghost shadows’ the second two have an annoying hum/ whine from we think the transformer. The hum is not constant but seems to occur when the screen is showing bright colours eg when watching Pointless for example. We’re fed up of it but need to stick with LG as we have had the stand built into the wall. Anyone else experience these issues? Also, this was the 2022 model so we’re thinking of upgrading to the 2023 model in the hope these issues are resolved in this years model. Has anyone got a 2023 model and if so any problems with it?

Many thanks for your thoughts.

If it’s any help I start to hum and whine when wife puts Pointless on.

Get in touch with LG directly.

I've done it a few times, was a UK call centre and dealt with quickly etc

Thanks, we bought it through Richer Sounds, they’ve swapped it over easy enough for us it’s just that it’s the third one wining like the second one. We just wondered if anyone else had experienced this or whether we are just very unlucky.

in all the reviews I've watched for TV's I've never heard of that issue for the G2. If it's an option get a refund and get the G3 (it's miles better)

The whining will be coil whine when the TV is using a lot of power. Was very common in the past with Plasma displays and isn't really a fault. It may differ unit to unit, and also lessen with age.

If they haven't warned you about it before purchase, it's surely a fault.

If so, every electrical appliance that consumes a lot of power would need a warning. There's differences unit to unit but this particularly is something that is going to bother some people more than others anyway just because the quieter the room, the more you'll notice it.

I'll repeat what I said earlier, I've never read nor heard in the reviews I've looked at (i'm guessing 30+) anyone suffering these issues with a G2

Because it probably doesn't bother them when they have a high ambient noise level, or maybe they don't sit as close to the TV. You can see above I linked a thread on Reddit where someone else notices it.

My guess is the OP has gotten unlucky with some units, or they are sensitive to the noise. They could try some of the suggestions in the link such as avoiding the standard picture preset (something best avoided anyway).

not sure tbh, some of these you tube channels go into crazy depths, they would sure notice humming on a TV

Thanks to everyone for your comments so far, very much appreciated, I will respond to some separately .

We would but we had a special stand and install which cost £500 do need to stick with LG. The picture is amazing and the sound bar we got amazing. It’s just the annoying whine.

LG are ignoring us and Richer Sounds say they never had a problem although they have duplicated the whine in the shop! They have given us an option to upgrade but don’t want to spend more money if it dies the same thing.

Thank you, my husband thought it was the transformer. Those Reddit quotes are very interesting as LG say they were unaware of any issues and just tell Richer Sounds to swap it.

We sit about 18 feet from the TV and the whine is very audible.

Do next door mind you sitting in their garden?

it's very strange, I have a C1 and it's silent. I don't know how much the new G3 is in the UK but the reviews for it are excellent so if it's doable I'd be tempted to upgrade to that
