LG C1 left on standby
Discussion
After watching a programme last night I switched off the set but left it on standby. I have been advised not to switch it off at the plug as the set needs to automatically clean the pixels after use. Is this correct?
Anyway this morning when I came downstairs I could hear children's voices and laughter, it really freaked me out. The sound was coming from theTV but it was still on standby and there was no picture. On switching on the set it was an early morning children's TV show that was showing but how could I hear the sound if it was still on standby? Has anyone else experienced this phenomena? Would appreciate your thoughts.

OLEDS (LG at least) should never be turned off at the wall, just powered off on the remote / standy
They do indeed run a pixel refresher routine
Pixel Refresher
The Pixel Refresher feature, built into LG OLED TVs, automatically detects
pixel deterioration through periodic scanning, compensating for it as needed.
It also senses any TFT (Thin Film Transistor) voltage changes during power off
to detect and correct pixel degradation by comparing it with a set reference value.
Its run after every 4 hours of use and a major run after every 2000 hours
They use a tiny amount of power on standby less than 0.5w (lg again)

I wouldn’t say “never”. They can be safely unplugged after about 30 minutes, if there is a storm warning I’ll unplug mine to avoid it being damaged if there’s a surge. They do indeed run a pixel refresher routine

When you switch the tv off with the remote, usually anywhere between 5-20 minutes you’ll hear an audible “bonk” noise. That is the tv notifying you that you can safely unplug it. I also completely unplug my C1 if we go on holiday.
In short, it’s fine to switch off at the mains and unplug if you follow the correct procedure.
