Having an issue with a new LG OLED TV. Text in some menus and displays is badly pixelated. Cockpit display text is fine as are other fonts.

Badly pixelated text in menus and info panels outside of the cockpit. Worst areas so far are the Cartographics screen, DSS, and Galaxy map details panels. It looks like zoomed in block text rather than rendered letters. Not out of focus but pixelated. Almost impossible to read. Other games I play all have crystal clear letters in menus and info panels. Pics from my ipad are overexposed and make the letter look smoother but it looks much worse in real life. Terrible in fact. Like I am playing a game with graphics features designed 20 years ago but not updated since. What is up?

some suggestions...………………………...
if it worked fine before on your LG oled TV? I would try deleting the gpu worktable xml
or if you have updated windows to the 2004 update revert back to the older os (known issues)
or try replacing the graphics driver using clean install option
or try right clicking the launcher icon properties,compatability tab and play around with dpi scaling options
with none of the above can I say there will be any certain success and it's just me wild guessing I am afraid

Check if you have a Game mode on tv and activate it.

+1 with Northpin, I use a 48" Panasonic flatscreen 4KUHD tv for playing EDH and I use the Game setting in the tv's picture settings which does a great job.

I tried everything. Finally switched from full screen to windowed, which blew up the screen across the 2 monitors (only a small corner of main menu visible but text problem was gone!). Turned off LG, opened game up in windowed mode on secondary monitor, turned LG back on, dragged window onto it, switched back to full screen. BOOM! Text problem gone now all text razor sharp. What the heck just happened?

Did ED remember prior monitor tests? Seems certain text was actually down scaled not upscaled. Weird.

So happy I tried changing from full screen to windowed on secondary monitor and then back to LG. Yay!

Word of warning ... I have burn in from Elites bright yellow/orange HUD on my 2016 LG OLED TV. Some is also from Destiny 2, to be fair. Either way ... if you can kill the brightness (or switch colour) of the HUD of even turn it off your TV may thank you in the long term.

Next time I get a TV for gaming it will not be OLED.

I have always had my ingame brightness turned to zero and still think it is brighter than I would like it but using the Game setting on my Panasonic keeps it down as well. There are other things you can do in the tv settings as well. When I first started using a big tv for gaming I found an article on line on setting it up for gaming to avoid burn in etc.

Probably running at the wrong resolution before.

This is why OLED PC monitors are rare (though not unheard of); burn in is still an issue for static GUI elements.

Thanks for the tip.

I have the OLEDs turned down to 30% and brightness at 40% but it is still plenty bright. I bought the TV from Best Buy and got the 3 year extended standard support warranty with it which covers burn in. So if I have burn in I can get a new TV. I have a secondary 28" monitor to display desktop icons and windows content. I also keep the taskbar set on auto hide, black background, so when I move the cursor to the other screen the LG OLED is totally dark. I use Track IR so my hud elements are constantly moving around. Hopefully I won't have burn in too soon but if I do the warranty will cover it. I believe Best Buy is the only company to offer coverage for that.

Burn in damage or dead pixel warranty is usually an extra insurance you pay for. Not really worth it. If dead pixels happen under warranty you should be able (unless small letters) to get a replacement. If the small print tells otherwise think twice about buying this brand.

All OLED are subject to burn in but the image quality is miles better than IPS displays. I tied a wide screen IPS and the backlight bleed in a dark room is a no go for me. Best Buy is the only seller I know of that covers OLED burn in. The coverage is worth every penny since mine will get lots of use with Elite Dangerous. I'm curious to see how long it takes for me to notice any burn in. No worries even if 3 years out I still get a new TV.

I'll stick with my panasonic plasma telly for the moment.

No need for heating the house with that beast...
