Troubleshooting

The TV will not turn on.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device. If using a power strip, ensure it is switched on.

AI Magic Remote is not responding or controlling the TV.

Check the remote's batteries and replace them if necessary. If the issue persists, try re-pairing the remote by holding the `Home` and `Back` buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds while pointing the remote at the TV.

Picture quality seems dull or colors are off.

Access the picture settings menu on your TV. Ensure `FILMMAKER MODE™` is not accidentally activated if you prefer a more vibrant picture for general viewing. Also, check if `AI Picture Pro` is enabled for automatic optimization, or manually adjust settings like Brightness, Contrast, and Color. Try resetting picture settings to default.

Gaming features like VRR or 144Hz are not active.

Verify that your gaming console or PC is connected to an HDMI 2.1 port on the TV and that the input is set to 'PC' mode (if applicable). Ensure `Game Optimizer` mode is enabled in the TV settings, and that VRR is activated on both your TV and the connected gaming device.

No sound from the TV speakers or connected soundbar.

Check the volume level on both the TV and any external audio device. Ensure the correct audio output (e.g., TV Speaker, HDMI ARC, Optical) is selected in the TV's sound settings. For external devices, confirm they are powered on and correctly connected.

Setup

  1. Unboxing & Placement: Carefully remove the TV from its packaging. Attach the stand (if using) following the included instructions, or prepare for wall mounting with a compatible VESA mount. Consider the TV's dimensions (757 x 1222 x 230 mm with stand) when choosing its location.

Care

  • Screen Cleaning: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with distilled water or a dedicated screen cleaning solution, never spraying directly onto the screen.
  • Dusting: Regularly dust the TV's frame and vents to prevent dust buildup, which can affect performance.
  • Heat Management: Ensure adequate ventilation around the TV. Avoid blocking the vents on the back.
  • Preventing Image Retention (Burn-in): While OLED evo TVs have mitigation technologies, it's good practice to avoid displaying static images (like channel logos or game HUDs) for extremely long, uninterrupted periods. Utilize the TV's built-in screensavers and pixel refresh functions.
