Hi, I am looking for a smart TV to use as a display monitor in a food service business I am setting up. I would like to mount a pair of TVs with the following preferred characteristics:
–is less than $1000 CAD –has a screen of 40" or 43" (max) –is good in a bright room AND has good reflection handling –has a well-designed and supported OS –supports screen mirroring and wireless casting –has a media player app that supports a wide variety of formats and codecs (Roku Media player, for example, is pretty limited in this respect) –is readily available locally
What brands and models would you suggest?
thanks,
Gabe

To have access to advice from RTINGS.com experts and much moreBecome an InsiderAs far as we know the Automatic Pixel Refresher = short compensation cycle and the Pixel Cleaning = Long compensation cycle.
While it’s hard to say for sure, based on our knowledge and the information you provided, “Quick check” checks to see if it’s (being the long compensation cycle) required while you can still force-run it should you have any specific issues. I know that isn’t conclusive, but hope it helps!
The Quick Check option still requires the tv to be turned off, took around 5minutes to complete. Upon completion it left a message “Pixel Cleaning process has completed” and nothing else. I didn’t try the full pixel cleaning option as many others have said never to run it unless you have problems with the screen as it’s detrimental to the longevity of the TV. Is there any truth of that?

LG engineers have confirmed you can run it as often as you like with no detrimental effects on the longevity of the TV. You’ll just get diminishing returns, so there is really no point in running it manually twice in a row. Also, it runs automatically, so there would be no need to run it manually unless you’re experiencing some sort of uniformity issue. Hope that helps!
