Thank you so much! Just bought the 50 inch S535 from best buy for $450. Was $500 about a week ago. Not bad!

That’s interesting! Are you able to share the full model code of your unit, and send us a photo of the remote?

I did hear that if you do get image retention on your VA panel, letting it sit on a pure white screen with brightness and contrast maxed is probably the best way to go. 12 to 24 hours to overwrite that image retention. My question is, “If you’re overwriting the image retention with a white screen, Does that mean the blacks wont get as black as they used to be?” Thanks! I really don’t know too much about TVs, so thanks for the help.

It is a VA panel which is why this is not making sense to me

Ah, you’re right. I was getting it confused with LCD. Yeah I’m pretty bummed. I tried doing just about every “burn in repair” video on Youtube for hours, trying to get rid of the Windows Taskbar on the bottom of the screen. I also tried leaving the TV off for like 8 days. I also factory reset the TV. Still there. No luck : (

I’m open to trying any other suggestions to get rid of the image burn.

Probably should put this statement in the burn in section and give it a 3.0 rating for burn in. Although we don’t expect most people who watch varied content to have any issues, LED TVs, such as the SONY X900F do have the possibility of experiencing burn in. I saw a similar comment about a X800E in a Best Buy review. The possibility of burn in isn’t as probable as it is with an OLED TV. This is why we should give Sony LED TVs a 3.0 rating for permanent image retention rather than a 2.0.

Thank you for the reply! Yeah, when I found the review from RTINGS for this TV, I made sure to check that the burn in risk was a 10/10, when I bought this TV to use as another PC monitor.. To be fair, the windows toolbar burn in isn’t awful. It can only can be seen in certain colors. The TV’s been used as a PC monitor almost daily for a year. So I’m sure most people wouldn’t have this problem. But for the people who want to use this TV as a PC monitor.. Maybe try VA panels? I hear those are better when it comes to never having image retention. Still a beautiful TV though.

Thanks for the response. My Sony X900F is always in a dimly lit room, with no direct sunlight just about ever. I guess I’ll just wait another couple days with the TV off to see what happens. Pretty sad, considering I just spent over a $1,000 on this TV just over a year ago.

I talked with Amazon’s technical support. They talked to LG, and this is what they said

“White dot on your LED TV screen are due to fallen reflector. On top of every LED in LED array of your TV, there sits the reflector. If its fallen off from its place then the light is directly pointed to a single spot. … The number of dots corresponds to the number of fallen reflectors”

Not exactly sure what that means. If anyone could enlighten me, that would be awesome! Thanks

The one difference I can find, is the LG 27UK650 has a Maximum Brightness of 350 cd/m2, compared to the LG 27UL500’s 300 cd/m2. The LG 27UK650 also has slightly smaller bezels. If that matters to anyone.
