@Dave Howard I have seen some reports back in October 2020, for specific LG models and years, and I think it was initially for some Korean models. Here is a list I just spotted, on the Which UK site:

Electrical Safety First announced today that LG OLED TVs from five different ranges were being recalled. The models affected are: 65-inch LG OLED65E6 – 2016 65-inch LG OLED65B7 – 2017 65-inch LG OLED65C7 – 2017 65-inch LG OLED65E7 – 2017 65-inch LG OLED65W7 – 2017

This seems a very late message/announcment, so be very wary of any "odd" looking premium numbers to ring, or any "spammy" information. Best ring the official LG support in your country to check it is legit.

@Dave Howard Thanks for the feedback and screenshot.If you choose "More" what extra info does it provide? Hopefully it shows what site to go to,or phone number to ring.

They will probably need your TV model and serial number, and maybe a copy of your purchase receipt. I see from a ZDNET article, it also goes up to 2019 manufactured TV sets.

My wife took the picture while I was at work and she didn't go to 'more'. Too scared lol.

But this message has not popped up again as yet. If it does while I'm home then I will go to 'more' and update my findings here.

      Hi!
       
      I own a OLED65C8PUA 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV and it seems to be suddenly freezing when a commercial starts on a LG channel. I've unplugged the TV, hold down the start button, restarted to clean out the cache. I even restarted the whole system where it deletes most of the apps and all your picture and internet settings. Still getting this freeze during ADS between the LG channel presentations (be it the 80's, 90's, Love Boat channels, etc.) Anyone else have this problem? I'm kind of at a loss of what to do next.

      Company’s Award-Winning Micro RGB evo Sets a New Standard for Triple Color
      Coverage With 100% BT.2020, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB Intertek Certification

      SEOUL, Dec. 16, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its first-ever flagship RGB TV at CES 2026 – the LG Micro RGB evo, a CES 2026 Innovation Awards winner.* Employing Micro RGB Technology and LG TV’s smallest individual RGB LEDs, this display marks a significant step forward from MiniLED.
      The LG Micro RGB evo represents a significant evolution in Micro RGB technology: it uses OLED precision to control each of the RGB LED backlights, bringing 13 years of LG OLED’s technical excellence to the RGB category. The engine driving this performance is the newly upgraded Dual AI Engine-based α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen 3, which features Dual Super Upscaling to simultaneously process two types of AI upscaling. This enhances sharpness while delivering natural and balanced images that offer the highest level of clarity and immersion.
      This immense processing power enables RGB Primary Color Ultra, a breakthrough that delivers a full spectrum of color reproduction. Driven by this technology, LG Micro RGB evo achieves an outstanding range, certified by Intertek for 100 percent color gamut coverage in BT.2020, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB – the highest possible color reproduction. This offers optimal accuracy for everything from digital editing and HDR cinema to next-generation display technologies.
      Complementing this color perfection is Micro Dimming Ultra, orchestrating more than a thousand dimming zones with exceptional accuracy. It achieves high contrast performance among LCD TVs, pinpointing brightness and color control to reveal intricate details in both dark and bright scenes.
      Beyond picture quality, the innovation extends to the customer experience. The interface is deeply personalized via the award-winning webOS platform, featuring Voice ID, AI Picture/Sound Wizard and a tailored “My Page” home screen. An upgraded AI Concierge, AI Chatbot and AI Search further enhance viewing by helping customers effortlessly explore content-related information.
      “Achieving the utmost visual fidelity is the goal of any display, and with the LG Micro RGB evo, we have achieved a milestone previously thought impossible for this category,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “This launch marks the evolution of the RGB TV, redefining industry standards to offer uncompromising performance for customers who demand exceptional color accuracy.”
      The LG Micro RGB evo (model MRGB95) will be available in 100-inch, 86-inch and 75-inch sizes.
      Visitors to CES 2026 can experience LG’s latest home entertainment innovations at the company’s booth (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center) from January 6–9. For more updates on LG’s announcements, visit the LG Newsroom.

      * The 100-inch MRGB95B model received a CES 2026 Innovation Award.

      Why does YouTube keep 'restarting now to free up memory' and how do I fix this very annoying bug in the WebOS or TV?
      Thanks everyone for your suggestions, answers. Tend to agree with Petevick as I usually don't have any other 'apps' running in the background to take up the very limited memory. Have contacted LG support via clunky email page and had one reply so far which also said to check for open apps or - wait for this - if it only happens with YouTube 'app' then it is their problem and I should contact YouTube for a fix! 
      Not very helpful, ignores the many consumers with similar issue and gives no indication of a future firmware fix.
      Looks like LG are another 'couldn't care less' TV manufacturer selling overpriced TV's on the back of 'Smart' features that don't work properly and are unlikely to be kept up to date.
      Will remember this next time I need a new set.

      Just bought a LG C5 Oled TV. I'm getting this error message randomly when i'm watching netflix. App will now restart to free up memory.

      And yes ...  unplugging my tv and deleting apps is NOT a fix. 
      You are incompetent corporate scum. 
      I'm never buying LG again.

      Kinetic OLED Installation Showcases Company’s Vision for
      the Future of Immersive Display Technology

      SEOUL, Oct. 28, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) reaffirmed its leadership in OLED innovation with a breathtaking installation at APEC 2025 in Gyeongju, South Korea. LG showcased a kinetic media chandelier composed of 28 transparent 77-inch LG SIGNATURE OLED T TVs, mesmerizing global leaders and delegates from around the Asia-Pacific region.
      First unveiled at CES 2025, the OLED chandelier returns to APEC 2025 with the pinnacle of visual storytelling made possible with transparent LG OLED TVs. The installation features the world’s first transparent and true wireless OLED TVs created into a technological splendor that is designed to be appreciated from every angle. Each panel gracefully moves – opening and closing like the petals of a kinetic sculpture – revealing LG OLED’s hallmark features of perfect black, vivid colors and slim design. In sync with hanging lights, the screens transition fluidly between transparent and opaque modes, transforming the atmosphere with immersive visual sequences: interstellar showers, drifting clouds, underwater landscapes and stained-glass finales.
      Powered by LG’s True Wireless technology, the chandelier eliminates visible cables and delivers flawless 4K transmission without latency, blurring the line between display and artistic visualization.
      The LG SIGNATURE OLED T demonstrates the versatility of OLED technology in immersive environments and reflects LG’s broader vision for OLED – transforming displays into premium, form-factor-free solutions that seamlessly integrate into everyday spaces. Also redefining home entertainment, the product has been recognized with major international design honors – including Red Dot, iF and IDEA Awards – and was recently named Best of IFA and Best in Home Entertainment at IFA 2025, affirming its global acclaim.
      APEC 2025 brings together leaders and innovators from 21 Asia-Pacific economies to foster inclusive growth and innovation. LG’s presence at this influential summit highlights its commitment to shaping the future of display technology and driving meaningful progress across industries.
