Firmware Design Problem


Question

Posted

TV 2017 49UJ6500

 

The default setting operation gives "Auto" energy saving mode for SDR programming

and energy saving "Off" for HDR.   Switching back and forth between SDR and HDR programming will engage these

energy saving modes automatically

However, if you assign a different mode (minimum, medium, etc) to either HDR or SDR programming no matter the source,

this mode becomes the setting for ALL sources- and the original operation cannot be recovered (automatic switching between

SDR and HDR) UNTIL, either you reset the whole TV, or you reset the A/V using the mute button 3 times

 

I don't know if this has been fixed in newer firmware / newer TV's, but it is something I would check before ever purchasing another

LG TV

If anybody has noticed this and has more info, please respond

      Company Wins 35 Accolades, Including Special Recognition for
      the Self-Driving AI Home Hub and LG SIGNATURE OLED T

      SEOUL, April 23, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has been honored with a total of 35 awards, including the prestigious Best of the Best accolade, at the 2025 Red Dot Design Award. This annual award celebrates design excellence across a diverse range of categories and is widely regarded as one of the world’s top three industrial design award programs.
      Among the standout winners is the LG SIGNATURE OLED T, the world’s first wireless transparent TV, which earned the prestigious Best of the Best accolade. This groundbreaking TV allows users to switch between transparent and opaque modes at the touch of a button, opening up new possibilities for entertainment and living space design. With a 77-inch 4K OLED display, the LG SIGNATURE OLED T offers stunning picture quality, unique augmented reality-like visual experiences and the flexibility of wireless installation.
      Another highlight is LG’s Self-Driving AI Home Hub (Project name: Q9), an LG FURON-enabled smart home AI agent designed for independent navigation. This innovative product, powered by LG’s Affectionate Intelligence, was recognized with a Red Dot Design Award and also selected as a winner in the Innovative Design metacategory. The Hub can understand users and interact with them naturally, enhancing various aspects of the smart home experience to enrich everyday life. The awards jury praised its friendly, pet-like design and its ability to display different “emotions” using digitally animated eyes.
      In addition to these top honors, LG received 32 awards across a wide range of product categories, including refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, TVs, air conditioners, air purifiers, audio products, monitors and commercial robots.
      LG’s impressive performance at the Red Dot Award follows its success at the iF Design Award 2025, where it won 36 awards. Products such as the LG QNED TV, LG StanbyME 2 and the LG SIGNATURE refrigerator with Smart InstaView are now dual winners, having been recognized at both the iF Design Award and the Red Dot Award in the same year.
      “We will continue to push the boundaries of design innovation, leaning into our deep understanding of customers to deliver human-centered innovations in products, solutions and customer experiences,” said Chung Wook-jun, head of the Corporate Design Center at LG Electronics.

      Hello Team,
      My newly purchased 75-Inch Class QNED 4K LED QNED85T series TV with webOS 24 has a setup box and soundbar connected via HDMI. It automatically returns to HDMI input when I move between home and any app (like YouTube, Prime, etc.). It appears to automatically detect and switch to the HDMI input always. The soundbar attached to the HDMI was disconnected if I turned off Simplink (HDMI-CEC). There doesn't seem to be a way to disable auto sensing option. It appears that LG TVs lack a function or problem. 
      I have a Hisense TV with the same setup, and it functions perfectly. I have no trouble switching between apps and controlling devices connected via HDMI.

      Recognition Highlights Company’s Commitment to Environmental Responsibility and
      Carbon Reduction for a Better Life for All

      SEOUL, April 9, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has once again been recognized for its dedication to sustainability and eco-conscious initiatives, securing globally recognized eco-certifications for its 2025 OLED TVs. These achievements reaffirm LG’s commitment to environmental responsibility and the development of advanced products that contribute to a more sustainable world while reducing its carbon footprint.
      For the fifth consecutive year, LG OLED evo TVs have received Reducing CO21 and Measured CO22 certifications from the Carbon Trust,3 a global climate consultancy advancing a zero-carbon future. These certifications evaluate a product’s environmental impact, including carbon emissions, throughout its entire life cycle – from manufacturing and distribution to usage and disposal.
      LG OLED TVs excel in these rigorous assessments due to their self-emissive technology, which eliminates the need for a backlight, reducing component count and overall material use. Furthermore, LG OLED TVs incorporate ultra-light composite fiber materials, reducing weight and plastic use. For example, LG’s 65-inch OLED evo TV is 20 percent lighter than conventional LCD TVs of the same size and uses 60 percent less plastic.
      As a result, LG anticipates reducing plastic consumption in OLED TV production by approximately 16,000 tons in 2025 compared to an equivalent number of LCD TVs. The company also expects to lower carbon emissions by 84,000 tons across manufacturing and transportation – equivalent to the CO2 absorbed annually by a 30-year-old pine forest the size of 11,000 football fields.
      New for 2025, LG’s latest OLED TVs have earned Resource Efficiency certification4 from Intertek, a globally recognized testing and certification body. This certification follows a thorough assessment of material efficiency – covering recyclable design, reduced use of harmful substances and ease of repair – as well as energy efficiency and the incorporation of recycled plastics. By meeting these stringent standards, LG’s commitment to sustainability has been formally recognized, highlighting its dedication to environmentally responsible design.
      In 2024, LG incorporated approximately 30 percent recycled plastic in the production of the company’s TVs, recycling around 6,300 tons of waste plastic. In 2025, the company plans to increase its use of recycled plastic to 50 percent, expecting to recycle approximately 7,700 tons of waste plastic annually.
      “With a strong commitment to sustainability, LG OLED TVs provide exceptional picture quality and advanced AI features within an eco-conscious design that minimizes carbon footprint throughout the product lifecycle,” said Baik Seon-pill, head of Product Planning Division at the LG Media Solution Company. “Innovation and environmental responsibility go hand in hand, and we remain dedicated to protecting the planet while supporting a better life for all.”

      The LG Magic Remote (AN-MR19BA) is poorly designed. The scroll wheel stopped working after minimal use, while the rest of the remote works fine. Instead of offering a repair, LG forces you to buy a new remote at a high cost. This feels like planned obsolescence. Why include a fragile scroll wheel when it’s not even essential? Avoid this product unless you’re okay with replacing it over minor issues. Zero stars.
