Issue with Samsung OLED Smart TV


On the right side of the screen, barely noticeable is two faint circles with a diagonal line going through it, just like the "no symbol."

Anyone know what this means?

EDIT: Its an LG, not Samsung.

No, but that is weird.

A symbol generated by the TV shouldn't be barely noticeable (what's the point of trying to tell you something if it's barely noticeable). Try cleaning that area first. That might sound dumb, but you'd be surprised, we can sometimes imagine a little dirt or debris to be a symbol. Then try different sources (or no source). Is the thing there whether you have selected cable TV or a different source like DVD player.

Next, really try and see if there is something inside the circle. No what?

Skim the TV's manual to see if there is anything resembling that symbol.

Is there anything that would have caused it such as mistakenly activating a particular function.

I'm 100% sure its not dirty. My vision is perfect and I even showed my father when he was over and he said "I would have never have seen it unless you pointed it out." Here it is being discussed on another forum. I'm really hoping its not a defect.

Have you tried emailing the manufacturer

reply

Not yet. I just noticed it the other day and am trying to find a solution before I contact them.

reply

And with enormous companies like Samsung it is a crapshoot with the kind of customer service you are going to get.

A symbol can't be burn in, that's too perfect

reply

Whoops, its actually an LG. My bad.

It will be interesting for sure to hear what they have to say. I haven't had the best luck with tvs.

Is it perhaps from burn in?

Could be, but here is someone with the same issue saying he doesn't think thats the problem.
