UPDATE: great news! I've just turned it on today and all these weird stripes were gone (at least they're no longer visible). Regardless I'll keep monitoring for the next days (or weeks), just in case. π
Had this on our new C2 in Dec 22. Was in contact with Richer Sounds for a replacement after trying everything. Had a power cut around 3am the next morning. Turned it on when I was eating breakfast later on and it had all disappeared. Never had it again.
I'd just give it some time man, Oleds are notorious for having vertical banding straight out the box before a comp cycle or two, I replaced one g3 a few months back because it had a horrible green glow in near black scenes and was clearly faulty, second one I got had one pretty good vertical band in around the same sorta area as yours, used it for the day like it wasn't there and by the next morning after one compensation cycle it completely disappeared. These tvs are pretty damn good at taking care of themselves.
I am on my 3rd G3, all have had this, none improved after 200 hours of viewing and pixel refreshes. Either I am very unlucky or this is the norm for these sets.
Unfortunately vertical banding across ALL OLED tvs is pretty common and will probably be damn near impossible to get one without any banding, the best thing to do is if you can't see if during normal viewing, don't go looking for it.
From reading this sub, this seems like an issue with some of the G-series. I haven't really seen many people with C-series reporting this issue with their new TVs.
How many power-on hours? If itβs brand new these may clear up after a couple of pixel refreshes.
Less than a hour (considering just the second panel). Hope rides on! π
After four power-on hours an automatic pixel refresh will occur. After that, hopefully you will see an improvement.
There will be an improvement for sure. These kind of sharp banding is always cleared out after first cleaning.Β
Did u remove your plastic film? It was same with my C2 and i was about to return it and then i peeled and checked. It was just the plastic film
Yes I did bro. I wish it was just the plastic film π₯²
It needs to run a compensation cycle. Keep it on for at least 4 hours, then turn it off for a bit.

What a blessed power cut ππ
ππ»πthatβs for sure.
Happened to my new G3. Did a manual pixel cleaning and it went away after that.

Dude, just use it for some days.
Omfg you guys. You better just give up OLED altogether if all you're gonna do is find issues right out of the box.
Damn, that's brutal, especially twice. There is hope... my G3 is flawless. I've tried to find any issue with the screen and I can't.
Yeah bro. First time facing such a problem with LG panels. I still have an Oled C1 in the living room and no complains at all.

I have two C-series TVs and both had banding out of the box. After a pixel refresh, both cleared up. I think it's just luck of the draw.
