How to Fix Lines or Marks on Your LG OLED Monitor Using Image

OLED monitors use self-lit pixels to produce bright, clear images. Because the display generates heat during use, leaving the same image on the screen for a long time may cause faint marks. Run Image Cleaning from the monitor settings to refresh the pixels and reduce these marks.

What to Check First

  1. If static elements such as the Windows taskbar, icons, or game menus remain on the screen for an extended period, the affected pixels may develop temporary image retention.
  2. Temporary marks may appear after you move the monitor or when the room temperature changes significantly.
  3. Use the joystick button on the monitor to open the settings and run Image Cleaning.
  4. Press the joystick button on the back or at the bottom center of the monitor to open the on-screen menu.
  5. Move the joystick to open Settings.
  6. Select OLED Care, and then select Image Cleaning to start the process.
  7. Press the OLED Care button on the remote.
  8. Select Image Cleaning from the on-screen menu, and then select Yes.
  9. When the confirmation message appears, select Yes again.
  10. Press the Dial button in the center of the remote.
