@hdtvtest made a video months ago about the 2023 LG OLED TV, claiming that GSR and TPC cannot be disabled due to limited access to the factory menu, which seems to be disappointing for a lot of people. However, this video shows the correct way to get rid of the annoying Static Dimming on the G3 and C3 using a certain process. get into secret menu (factory remote): P-ONLY key - enter 0413 - wait for reboot - EXIT key - INSTART key exit the secret menu: MENU key - wait for 30 seconds - HOME key (original remote) 00:00 Intro and the hype 00:41 Normal method doesn't work 01:11 Get into factory mode! 02:01 Turn off TPC/GSR 02:37 Exit factory mode! 03:10 Enjoy the TV without ASBL
Important: This video tells you nothing about what comes after. Next time you restart your tv, you get a big factory mode box hovering on your screen prompting you to go back to user mode. This will reset ALL Settings. People like me who have followed reddits guide to use the tv as a monitor and change a billion setting on the TV, will have to do all that work again, however you can press the menu button to load for 30 sec and go to you input, but the dimming and GSR anr TPC will be on again, so you need to change these settings each time you turn on the TV, its very annoying. On the latest firmare the Dimming is less noticable, except when you open a full screen bright window, my workaround is to just have browser and windows in darkmode, then it becomes less noticable. I kind of agree with Vincent on this one, as the TV will revert these changes each time you reboot its not truly working anymore.
Thank you for this, I might have thought that I'm to blame for doing something wrong or skip a step. Not sure if the channel know already, but turned out this video is a waste of time instead of helping.
This is not funny. If I do not like the games LG is playing with us, I WILL return this TV even six months later. I bought it from Costco for that reason.
@@peterpayne2219 @ekinorak You don't have to go through all of it every time. If you just hit home with your regular remote and wait less than thirty seconds and then hit the input button it will just go back to normal. Still annoying but not as annoying as having to redo settings each time
@@solvealways I checked it this morning, and it did not reset the settings again, just the first time it powered off and on again after the change. Will keep my fingers crossed this holds up.
There are a few final steps missing here that should be mentioned. Every time you power on/off the LG after those steps it will start into the Service mode by default. You must then press the green button on the remote that came with the LG 7 times. It literally tells you it on the screen. This will reboot the LG back into "User" mode. NOTE: Your LG will now be COMPLETELY reset into the original power-up mode. This means any calibrations or settings will be gone and need to be re done. Kind of important to mention.
I will also mention, Dimming will turn itself back on every time you town your tv off and back on. I have to change it every time. TPC and GSR stay off though.
We recently purchased 3 LG OLED EVO G3s for the studio here and of course the auto dimming was a major problem as the monitors usually have still images in them So we wer so glad to find this Video - Thank You Neon Important to note - follow the steps exactly as shown in Neon's Video and it will work. DO NOT follow prompts on the screen. BUT as several people in the comments have pointed out - if you power off and power on again the monitors will come up in Engineering Mode DO NOT press exit or Green buttons 7 times this will do a factory reset and wipe out your changes Do NOT press INSTOP it will do the same Instead exit the way Neon showed us On Engineering Remote Press Exit (screen will go from White to Black) Press Menu and wait 30 seconds then on the Standard remote press Home button (Once the on screen mouse appears it's ready) I've tested this several times and it works - remember as Neon said - since you were in Engineering mode - the picture mode will be in Vivid - you will need to change this to you desired mode Happy Viewing
Thanks BUT this is not a durable solution, If children are using TV it's anoing for them (for me too) to do extra steps JUST for simply tuning on a tv. This is why HDTvs didn't propose this solution, imho.
2:10 DO NOT turn off System 1 > Dimming, otherwise you won't be able to adjust OLED pixel brightness. This has nothing to do with LG OLED self-dimming. If you turn it off, be prepared to sear your eyes at night.
Yeah there's no benefit to disabling it. I opted to use a program called colorcontrol to make these exact changes from my PC and realized immediately after starting up elden ring that the brightness was stuck.
The approach in this video means you have to stay in Factory Mode which is not ideal to say the least, here is how I solved this: 1. Download ColorControl to a PC on the same network/WIFI 2. Ensure you are able to connect in CC to your TV (test Turn off/on screen) 3. Enable Expert - Advanced Settings, you will now see in the Expert Menu "Enabled Full Service Menu" 4. Click "Enable Full Service Menu" 5. Click INSTART on your service remote, now you can Turn off TPC/GSR 6. Click INSTART again and you are now not in Factory mode and these settings will save even after a power cycle Your welcome!
My 42" LG C3 (used as a PC monitor) definitely always does "auto-dim" after about 3 minutes of no activity, even though all Power Saving features have been turned off. I purchased this panel about 3 weeks ago from Amazon so there's no way for me to know how old the panel is, but it's not calling for a firmware update. I did perform the operation described in the video, and this stops the auto-dimming function. I can confirm that the panel stays in Factory Mode after the operation, but I can live with that. *EDITED TO ADD:* No, I can't live with that. If the TV is turned off, all of my calibration goes away. *LG needs to fix this ASAP.*
@@mindseyewatering6635 crossing my fingers so they will do a firmware update for that. I'm also interested in seeing how many hours my C3 has been powered on, that's also a feature they seem to have hidden.
I also got one of these - haven't noticed the dimming issue yet. But do you know how to get it to turn off completely when you power off you computer? - So mine will show an alternating graphics display after 5 sec intervals and show a "No Signal" box indefinitely. Can this be turned off completely without using the remote? - I want it to be dark after powering off my computer.
The fact that these setting are accessible, there has to be a way to save these settings permanently. Hopefully that is determined and shared by someone soon :(
Im noticing the flags in your service menu. The same flags my CX had after a main board replacement when the factory white balance/calibration was lost, and i had to calibrate the TV on my own dime, as LG doesn't, or didn't seem to think calibration was necessary. The TV did indeed perform worse than it did with the original SoC. So if this procedure is doing the same thing, and causing the same flags, than thats kinda important to inform people of. This very well could potentially ruin your warranty. The webOS 23 update hit my C2 the other day. I went ahead with the update, and now lost access to TPC and GSR without a work around like this, one that i will not do. I'm curious what happens when you have TPC/GSR disabled and update to webOS 23... Do those settings stay off, or are they reset with the update. Truthfully, I can't remember if I had it enabled or disabled. I will say tho, having it enabled didnt bother or distract me nearly as much as my CX did. The CX would dim terribly during those long dark HDR scenes. The C2 just never did it aggressively to the point it bothered or distracted me. I did have TPC/GSR disabled majority of the time, but I'd often turn it back on, just to see if I'd notice... and i truly never could as long as logo luminance adjust was disabled.
Worked on my LG C3, but now everytime you turn on the TV it starts up in Factory Mode and Dimming on the HDMI input is turned back on. The OLED adjustments are still there but Dimming turns back on the HDMI input. IN STOP will reset the TV to Factory settings and delete ALL your apps and adjustments. Hitting the GREEN key on the factory remote yielded no result for me. You can hit HOME on the original remote and it will take you to your home screen. and work normally, but you are still in SERVICE mode. Contemplating just resetting and forgetting the adjustments.

Everytime you turn the TV on, instead of reseting it, just click on the MENU button, and just what you have to do is click on IN START and disable the settings again
What do you mean by "disable the settings again" ? Once I've applied the settings I want in the secret menu, the floating banner appears, the only way to exit seems to be the "IN STOP" button which factory resets everything. Am i missing something?

Thanks for all the comments mentioning how changes are now impossible on the c3. I had bought a service remote and was going to go through the steps but now I just don't want this junk on my desktop. I'm within the return window so it went back today no questions asked. If LG is going to play these stupid games I'm no longer going to be supplying my business
I'll share this video. Thank you very much. This is so important that I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy a G3 if this wasn't possible. Have you tried the Colorcontrol app on a PC to access the real service menu on the G3?
Haha, i found where the Posts tab (from All the Subscribed channels) is.. Where my Subscription Button is and then down under are some sub-tabs with videos, shorts or posts and stuff like that. But saddly some of the Subscribed Channels are kind off spamming with posts, and then scroll alot down i found from other Channels other here and there something.😅 It should or could be a tab where i click on a Subscriber and underneath there it could be a shortcut.🎉
For disabling the auto-dimming. I have a C3 so I had to enable the hidden menu and do the step mentioned. It works but then I can no longer control brightness from the standard menu and I have to play around with the advance menu and it doesn't seem to play well ... I've just reset it to standard ... disabled "eco mode" and set to PC / gaming mode and it's really not that bad ... I prefer that then having a static high brightness that is pretty annoying to change manually.

Following your advice, when you turn on the TV again, a window appears with information: Factory Mode Press INSTOP key to go to User mode. Press Green key 7 times to go to User mode (User Remote Control) What should I do to solve this problem? I don't want to see this information window.

Has this actually fixed this issue or does it come back every time you reboot the TV? Was considering a C£, but it seems the C2 suffers from this also? Apologies if this has already been answered.
I cant figure out what i did wrong. Every time i power on my LG C3 now , it starts in Factory Mode and has a banner floating at the top advertising that mode.
still cant figure this out. anyone have the LG c3 and noticed this? If i press INT STOP on the remote, it then factory resets everything and the auto dimming turns back on.
@@ryrystewy1 Hi!

GM sir. The dimming on/off only work when u in power mode? I notice when I enter the service menu and enter instart and turn off dimming. But I notice wen I turn off my tv and turn it on back in the service menu I see dimming turn on back again. So am asking u if this work when u in power mode only.
Thank for the video, I have a LG TV (55UR8050PSB). There is a satellite socket for connecting the TV to satellite dish/cable in the rear of it but in the tuning menu, I can only find DTV program search option. Is there any way to activate built-in satellite receiver on it?
I've tried this three times now, got stuck in the menu & had to reinstall to register from factory settings twice & of course put back all my apps! I'm very disappointed, particularly because I was already upset with the various screen settings & was looking for that magic fix? Don't even get me started on the ugly Dolby Vision UHD on Netflix! 4K eh, come back HD all is forgiven...
Hi, Neon. I have "fixed" the FACTORY MODE menu that shows if you turn off dimming on the C3. The "fix" is to always have the menu come up when you turn on the TV, but then press Settings on the normal remote control (not the factory one). After it loads settings for 30 seconds, you can then hit Input and choose which input you want, and use the TV normally. Maybe an idea for a video? Since everyone who buys this TV will have this issue.
You can do it without staying in Factory Mode, here is how: 1. Download ColorControl to a PC on the same network/WIFI 2. Ensure you are able to connect in CC to your TV (test Turn off/on screen) 3. Enable Expert - Advanced Settings, you will now see in the Expert Menu "Enabled Full Service Menu" 4. Click "Enable Full Service Menu" 5. Click INSTART on your service remote, now you can Turn off TPC/GSR 6. Click INSTART again and you are now not in Factory mode and these settings will save even after a power cycle Your welcome!
Never ever put your LG TV into Power Only Mode, to give such a recommendation is extremely bad advice. This mode has various side effects and sets settings that can only be reset with an IN-STOP command, which is also a command that should never be executed by a normal user. All the permanent red NG (not good) service menu flags you see in the video should be a warning to everyone that things were done with the TV that you should never do. Needless to say, LG will not honor any warranty claims for such a TV.
@@neonyao2217 No, you did not show how to exit P-Only mode cleanly. With your method, various system components remain in a state they should not be in. As a side effect, the service menu remains in the advanced state.
@@blogdelbeto Reports from others indicate that it's barely noticeable and no longer anything like the issue it was on previous models. You should really leave it well alone, to be honest.
It keeps reseting every time i start the computer. I can change the setting but everyime i turn the tv back on it stays in the service menu so I have to press the menu and wait 30 seconds before going back to user menu i have to repeat this every time i turn on the tv is there a way?
More noticeable as a monitor. Main issue I'm having is in Tarkov, game has snow currently, so that and the white/blue sky means I usually hit max brightness, and as I pan my camera, the brightness of the game keeps changing. Already disabled all power settings.
When you turn on your tv it will say user mode but just hit the home button on your remote (the one that came with the tv) wait 30 secs to register and then while on LG home interface just use the Service remote as followed in this video just hit instart since you already followed this tutorial, and no password needed and can turn off dimming/tpc/gsr again. Easy simple and done no need to repeat entire steps again.
@@definingslawek4731 like I said if you followed the tutorial... the TV will always startup on user mode always until if you plan to reset the TV you hit the green button 7 times (the remote that came with your tv) this is the only way to end user mode permanently but will reset your tv to factory. Yes, everytime the TV is turned off LG will automatically reset the dimming ABL as this isnt a permanent solution as of now, so every time you turn it back on you must turn it off as I or any other don't know to save these settings permanently. This can void your warranty do it at your own risk. I did notice the TV is buggy while these settings were active.
@@definingslawek4731 leave it on User Menu and do not hit the green 7 times as the TV reverts to factory settings and you'll have to set everything up again.
@@AsiaAziatics I followed the tutorial exactly, but there are a bunch of people saying that they followed the steps and the settings turn themselves back on when you turn the tv on and off like from normal usage. Did dimming *stay* off for you?
@@1337kaas Do you use your TV for normal TV usage only? I'm considering getting one to use as a PC monitor, but I'm concerned that for my use case I'll still have the issue due to static content.
@@affieuk No, I'm using it as a monitor with my windows 11 desktop. When I go afk and leave the browser on for example, it will dim a little bit until I move the mouse. Paired with LG TV companion it behaves exactly like a monitor instead of a tv. It turns on automatically when windows starts, and when i shutdown it turns off the tv. When there is no input on keyboard or mouse for 5 minutes it turns off all the pixels so it's basically a perfect screensaver. Would recommend it for sure! I play a lot of games but also do some development on it. I used MacType to increase text render sharpness, because there is some color banding around text with the WOLED subpixel layout. But with MacType it's pretty damn good.
@@1337kaasdo you know if there is any way to have it so the screen does not turn off after 5 minutes? I want to use it for Trading on a Windows PC so I would have charts up. Trades take at least 30 minutes to 2 hours+. Would I have to move the mouse every 5 minutes to keep the screen on?
@@prepster6 Why would you use oled for static trading charts? But yes, this screen off timeout I've configured in LGTV companion is adjustable to your liking.
Only if. LG could put the dimming on /off in the lg setting instead of in the service menu. I will be happy with that. I wont go back in service menu. Only if we had dimming in our tv setting on/ off
It's not clear what button you are pressing. After IN START you need to press P ONLY at the top left button at the top left of the remote. It did not ask me for the second password to enter Power Mode on my just-purchased LG CX55 2023. If was NOT easy to get out of the OLED menu and into the system 1 menu as there is no "accept these values" or "menu back" that's clear. WOW that was complex. LG can eat my balls for changing this setting and hiding that menu. They were just about to get a returned TV to Costco... Also, do NOT hit the IN STOP button ever. It immediately resets the TV to factory settings. And of course LGs servers are down so I could not set up my TV again. Ugh...
It's a separate remote you have to buy from Amazon. It's like $11 in the US, or $300 in Japan if you're unlucky to live here. (I got one from the U.S. luckily.)

It fixes the dimming problem yes. But this guy on the video leaves the TV in service mode. That is his trick. He never pushes IN STOP on the remote. And if the TV is in service mode then the switching OFF/ON procedure is a little gimmicky, because you always have to push HOME on the user's remote and wait 30 sec and then push HOME again and then select your HDMI/PC input. Switching your TV ON procedure is a little long and circumstantial. I name this error, LG engineers are not the most clever ones, the internet is full of "OMG...my LG C2/C3 is dimming my PC input in every other minute" complaint. Can't they read? They don't fix this. I use my TV in this way because dimming is so annoying.
You are correct this approach requires IN-STOP to get back to User Mode, there is a way to avoid doing that and not lose your settings everytime you power cycle: 1.

@@deloford It works!!! You are genius! And the guy also, who made ColorControl. The program couldn't find my TV automatically but I was able to add it manually, I entered IP address and MAC. Then I went Expert -> Enable Full Menu and then everything worked as you described. It's fantastic, the TV works like new, but there is no auto brightness dimming. Thank you so much !!!
@telelaci2 glad it worked, the beauty with ColorControl is you can also set it to turn your TV on and off when Windows sleeps/wakes or powers off/on, one of the main drawbacks of TV as a monitor gone! Lg charge nearly a 1000 bucks more for this with feature in their comparable PC monitors.
The ASBL algorithm has been updated and rectified for G3s and C3s. The need to turn it off was eliminated in 03.10.19 or 03.20.55. Telling C3 and G3 owners that they "need to do this" is misinformed BS. Stop spreading misinformation.
I use the newest firmware but the dimming is still there with minor movements on the screen. The fact that LG locks the ''usual way'' to get into the menu is disappointing.
@@neonyao2217The TV dims in order to protect it from burn in, you understand that if that was a user configurable setting people would then complain about burn in?
@@fernandochapa1433not necessarily. They don't want to have headaches from a lot of warranty units returned to them. Owners paid $1000 plus to enjoy their products not save costs for LG

Vincent already knows these tricks and many secret codes that you don't need the special remote for. He simply can't share that info cause he is bound to contracts that prohibit him from telling the consumer.

There are a few final steps missing here that should be mentioned. Every time you power on/off the LG after those steps it will start into the Service mode by default. You must then press the green button on the remote that came with the LG 7 times. It literally tells you it on the screen. This will reboot the LG back into "User" mode. NOTE: Your LG will now be COMPLETELY reset into the original power-up mode. This means any calibrations or settings will be gone and need to be re done. Kind of important to mention.
@@ancientsandcati think it's goes back to defoult. So this is not pernament solution in my opinion
Confirmed it resets the settings once you go back to user mode
To keep the settings, can't you just press the Menu button on the service remote and then the Home button on the user remote, just as showed in 2:37 ?
@@Neko-san yes but every time you turn on tv it says it’s in factory mode.
I will also mention, Dimming will turn itself back on every time you town your tv off and back on. I have to change it every time. TPC and GSR stay off though.
We recently purchased 3 LG OLED EVO G3s for the studio here and of course the auto dimming was a major problem as the monitors usually have still images in them
So we wer so glad to find this Video - Thank You Neon
Important to note - follow the steps exactly as shown in Neon's Video and it will work. DO NOT follow prompts on the screen.
BUT as several people in the comments have pointed out - if you power off and power on again the monitors will come up in Engineering Mode
DO NOT press exit or Green buttons 7 times this will do a factory reset and wipe out your changes Do NOT press INSTOP it will do the same
Instead exit the way Neon showed us
On Engineering Remote Press Exit (screen will go from White to Black)
Press Menu and wait 30 seconds then on the Standard remote press Home button (Once the on screen mouse appears it's ready)
I've tested this several times and it works - remember as Neon said - since you were in Engineering mode - the picture mode will be in Vivid - you will need to change this to you desired mode
Happy Viewing
Thanks BUT this is not a durable solution, If children are using TV it's anoing for them (for me too) to do extra steps JUST for simply tuning on a tv.
This is why HDTvs didn't propose this solution, imho.
2:10 DO NOT turn off System 1 > Dimming, otherwise you won't be able to adjust OLED pixel brightness. This has nothing to do with LG OLED self-dimming. If you turn it off, be prepared to sear your eyes at night.
Yeah there's no benefit to disabling it. I opted to use a program called colorcontrol to make these exact changes from my PC and realized immediately after starting up elden ring that the brightness was stuck.
The approach in this video means you have to stay in Factory Mode which is not ideal to say the least, here is how I solved this:
1. Download ColorControl to a PC on the same network/WIFI
2. Ensure you are able to connect in CC to your TV (test Turn off/on screen)
3. Enable Expert - Advanced Settings, you will now see in the Expert Menu "Enabled Full Service Menu"
4. Click "Enable Full Service Menu"
5. Click INSTART on your service remote, now you can Turn off TPC/GSR
6. Click INSTART again and you are now not in Factory mode and these settings will save even after a power cycle

My 42" LG C3 (used as a PC monitor) definitely always does "auto-dim" after about 3 minutes of no activity, even though all Power Saving features have been turned off.
I purchased this panel about 3 weeks ago from Amazon so there's no way for me to know how old the panel is, but it's not calling for a firmware update.
I did perform the operation described in the video, and this stops the auto-dimming function.
I can confirm that the panel stays in Factory Mode after the operation, but I can live with that.
*EDITED TO ADD:*
No, I can't live with that. If the TV is turned off, all of my calibration goes away.
*LG needs to fix this ASAP.*
is there anything, that can fix it?
@@winfle Just a firmware update from LG.
@@mindseyewatering6635 crossing my fingers so they will do a firmware update for that. I'm also interested in seeing how many hours my C3 has been powered on, that's also a feature they seem to have hidden.
I also got one of these - haven't noticed the dimming issue yet. But do you know how to get it to turn off completely when you power off you computer? - So mine will show an alternating graphics display after 5 sec intervals and show a "No Signal" box indefinitely. Can this be turned off completely without using the remote? - I want it to be dark after powering off my computer.
Fuck, i just reset my TV to being new. Fml
This is a tutorial how to factory reset your TV and lose waranty by doing it. nice!
As a reminder please don't press in stop.
What happens if you press in stop?
@@Neko-san factory reset 💀
The fact that these setting are accessible, there has to be a way to save these settings permanently. Hopefully that is determined and shared by someone soon :(
You’re the man, thanks for helping remove the annoying dimming!
Im noticing the flags in your service menu. The same flags my CX had after a main board replacement when the factory white balance/calibration was lost, and i had to calibrate the TV on my own dime, as LG doesn't, or didn't seem to think calibration was necessary. The TV did indeed perform worse than it did with the original SoC.
So if this procedure is doing the same thing, and causing the same flags, than thats kinda important to inform people of. This very well could potentially ruin your warranty.
The webOS 23 update hit my C2 the other day. I went ahead with the update, and now lost access to TPC and GSR without a work around like this, one that i will not do.
I'm curious what happens when you have TPC/GSR disabled and update to webOS 23... Do those settings stay off, or are they reset with the update. Truthfully, I can't remember if I had it enabled or disabled. I will say tho, having it enabled didnt bother or distract me nearly as much as my CX did. The CX would dim terribly during those long dark HDR scenes. The C2 just never did it aggressively to the point it bothered or distracted me. I did have TPC/GSR disabled majority of the time, but I'd often turn it back on, just to see if I'd notice... and i truly never could as long as logo luminance adjust was disabled.
Now I've learnt the trick, I'll just go and rob a bank to buy the TV
😂😂nope just rob the bestbuy
Worked on my LG C3, but now everytime you turn on the TV it starts up in Factory Mode and Dimming on the HDMI input is turned back on. The OLED adjustments are still there but Dimming turns back on the HDMI input. IN STOP will reset the TV to Factory settings and delete ALL your apps and adjustments. Hitting the GREEN key on the factory remote yielded no result for me. You can hit HOME on the original remote and it will take you to your home screen. and work normally, but you are still in SERVICE mode. Contemplating just resetting and forgetting the adjustments.
Remember, returning your TV is an option if LG is really going to play these games. I might return mine if this cannot be fixed.

What exactly is that "dimming" option under Service 1 menu? Usually disabling TPC (and GPC) is enough. Is "dimming" supposed to be ABL?
Everytime you turn the TV on, instead of reseting it, just click on the MENU button, and just what you have to do is click on IN START and disable the settings again
What do you mean by "disable the settings again" ? Once I've applied the settings I want in the secret menu, the floating banner appears, the only way to exit seems to be the "IN STOP" button which factory resets everything. Am i missing something?

Thanks for all the comments mentioning how changes are now impossible on the c3. I had bought a service remote and was going to go through the steps but now I just don't want this junk on my desktop. I'm within the return window so it went back today no questions asked. If LG is going to play these stupid games I'm no longer going to be supplying my business
I'll share this video. Thank you very much. This is so important that I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy a G3 if this wasn't possible. Have you tried the Colorcontrol app on a PC to access the real service menu on the G3?
No way you're here 😂😂
Thanks You, This really helped me with my LG C3.
the dimming comes back on when you turn tv and back on, the dimming will reset itself, so I have to do it again
Are you going to make a video how to install the LG compasnion app so the auto dim feature stays on in the service menu after reboot
?
MY HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *love*
I’m returning my C4 because they disabled this.
Haha, i found where the Posts tab (from All the Subscribed channels) is.. Where my Subscription Button is and then down under are some sub-tabs with videos, shorts or posts and stuff like that.
But saddly some of the Subscribed Channels are kind off spamming with posts, and then scroll alot down i found from other Channels other here and there something.😅
It should or could be a tab where i click on a Subscriber and underneath there it could be a shortcut.🎉
For disabling the auto-dimming. I have a C3 so I had to enable the hidden menu and do the step mentioned. It works but then I can no longer control brightness from the standard menu and I have to play around with the advance menu and it doesn't seem to play well ... I've just reset it to standard ... disabled "eco mode" and set to PC / gaming mode and it's really not that bad ... I prefer that then having a static high brightness that is pretty annoying to change manually.
For those having problems with turning off the TV resetting everything, just select "Screen Off" from settings and disable auto turn-off.
does this keep the settings if you power off from the wall for example?

GM sir. The dimming on/off only work when u in power mode? I notice when I enter the service menu and enter instart and turn off dimming. But I notice wen I turn off my tv and turn it on back in the service menu I see dimming turn on back again. So am asking u if this work when u in power mode only.
Thank for the video, I have a LG TV (55UR8050PSB). There is a satellite socket for connecting the TV to satellite dish/cable in the rear of it but in the tuning menu, I can only find DTV program search option. Is there any way to activate built-in satellite receiver on it?
Thanks for this quick tutorial, I just liked your video, do you know, or does anybody know by any chance if this is possible with an LG OLED C3?
I've tried this three times now, got stuck in the menu & had to reinstall to register from factory settings twice & of course put back all my apps! I'm very disappointed, particularly because I was already upset with the various screen settings & was looking for that magic fix? Don't even get me started on the ugly Dolby Vision UHD on Netflix! 4K eh, come back HD all is forgiven...
Hi, Neon. I have "fixed" the FACTORY MODE menu that shows if you turn off dimming on the C3. The "fix" is to always have the menu come up when you turn on the TV, but then press Settings on the normal remote control (not the factory one). After it loads settings for 30 seconds, you can then hit Input and choose which input you want, and use the TV normally.
Maybe an idea for a video? Since everyone who buys this TV will have this issue.
You can do it without staying in Factory Mode, here is how:
1. Download ColorControl to a PC on the same network/WIFI
2. Ensure you are able to connect in CC to your TV (test Turn off/on screen)
3. Enable Expert - Advanced Settings, you will now see in the Expert Menu "Enabled Full Service Menu"

@@deloford thank you! I will try this later on.
Never ever put your LG TV into Power Only Mode, to give such a recommendation is extremely bad advice.
This mode has various side effects and sets settings that can only be reset with an IN-STOP command, which is also a command that should never be executed by a normal user.
All the permanent red NG (not good) service menu flags you see in the video should be a warning to everyone that things were done with the TV that you should never do. Needless to say, LG will not honor any warranty claims for such a TV.
I showed how to exit the power only mode without instop. This process is complicated ''thanks'' to LG's restrictions.
@@neonyao2217 No, you did not show how to exit P-Only mode cleanly. With your method, various system components remain in a state they should not be in. As a side effect, the service menu remains in the advanced state.
Agreed, very well said.
Thanks for the advice. It's there a more safe way to disable those algorithms? I do notice them even after update.
@@blogdelbeto Reports from others indicate that it's barely noticeable and no longer anything like the issue it was on previous models. You should really leave it well alone, to be honest.
It keeps reseting every time i start the computer.
I can change the setting but everyime i turn the tv back on it stays in the service menu so I have to press the menu and wait 30 seconds before going back to user menu i have to repeat this every time i turn on the tv is there a way?
On my c3 the TPC and GSR settings were already off? But dimming was on. Is that normal?
I had the same. After going out of the menu, changing OLED brightness has 0 effect,lol. Not exactly what I was going for, but it sure is bright!
Is this same with lg c2
How do I know if my C3 dims? I never seen it yet? Is it subtle? Take it off POWER SAVER, cant say it loud enough!
More noticeable as a monitor. Main issue I'm having is in Tarkov, game has snow currently, so that and the white/blue sky means I usually hit max brightness, and as I pan my camera, the brightness of the game keeps changing. Already disabled all power settings.
Is it still warranty void? If so, C2 is even worth more since most C2 is now about to warranty expired
But many information in your service menu are NG and thats not good. There is for sure a simpler and safer method!
Take these damn things OFF Energy Saver!!! Totally different screen.
How do you reboot the webos .? I have c3 . Can only do with unplugging the power .?
What's all this I see in comments about the TV staying in factory mode or something after disabling asbl?
What an absolute shit tv just cost me 1300 and it's going back to get my money back tomorrow
When you turn on your tv it will say user mode but just hit the home button on your remote (the one that came with the tv) wait 30 secs to register and then while on LG home interface just use the Service remote as followed in this video just hit instart since you already followed this tutorial, and no password needed and can turn off dimming/tpc/gsr again. Easy simple and done no need to repeat entire steps again.
Wait what so you have to do it twice? And the people who had it turn off again just didn't do it the second time?
@@definingslawek4731 like I said if you followed the tutorial... the TV will always startup on user mode always until if you plan to reset the TV you hit the green button 7 times (the remote that came with your tv) this is the only way to end user mode permanently but will reset your tv to factory. Yes, everytime the TV is turned off LG will automatically reset the dimming ABL as this isnt a permanent solution as of now, so every time you turn it back on you must turn it off as I or any other don't know to save these settings permanently. This can void your warranty do it at your own risk. I did notice the TV is buggy while these settings were active.
@@AsiaAziatics Did you press the green button 7 times? What does it mean to leave user mode permenantly?
@@definingslawek4731 leave it on User Menu and do not hit the green 7 times as the TV reverts to factory settings and you'll have to set everything up again.

@@affieuk No, I'm using it as a monitor with my windows 11 desktop. When I go afk and leave the browser on for example, it will dim a little bit until I move the mouse. Paired with LG TV companion it behaves exactly like a monitor instead of a tv. It turns on automatically when windows starts, and when i shutdown it turns off the tv. When there is no input on keyboard or mouse for 5 minutes it turns off all the pixels so it's basically a perfect screensaver. Would recommend it for sure!

Does this work with the latest "upgrade" to webos 23?
I tried this but now in the game optimizer, the option to change to standard, sport, RTS, RPG is gray out. Did this happen to you?
Yeah it's because you SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS. I've had this TV since launch and it hasn't dimmed at all on any content.
try to change the sound settings to standard and back to game optimizer, now it works again with my C3
Only if. LG could put the dimming on /off in the lg setting instead of in the service menu. I will be happy with that. I wont go back in service menu. Only if we had dimming in our tv setting on/ off
So I set it to not auto dim, and it still dims.
It's not clear what button you are pressing. After IN START you need to press P ONLY at the top left button at the top left of the remote. It did not ask me for the second password to enter Power Mode on my just-purchased LG CX55 2023. If was NOT easy to get out of the OLED menu and into the system 1 menu as there is no "accept these values" or "menu back" that's clear.
WOW that was complex. LG can eat my balls for changing this setting and hiding that menu. They were just about to get a returned TV to Costco...
Also, do NOT hit the IN STOP button ever. It immediately resets the TV to factory settings. And of course LGs servers are down so I could not set up my TV again. Ugh...
After turning off the dimming mode my C3 won't connect to the internet? Anyone else?
So many steps missing here. Disappointed.
THANK YOU!!!
What does it mean "factory remote"? It doesn't come with the TV? And where would one get it from?
It's a separate remote you have to buy from Amazon. It's like $11 in the US, or $300 in Japan if you're unlucky to live here. (I got one from the U.S. luckily.)
Does that work also on LG C3?

It fixes the dimming problem yes. But this guy on the video leaves the TV in service mode. That is his trick. He never pushes IN STOP on the remote. And if the TV is in service mode then the switching OFF/ON procedure is a little gimmicky, because you always have to push HOME on the user's remote and wait 30 sec and then push HOME again and then select your HDMI/PC input. Switching your TV ON procedure is a little long and circumstantial. I name this error, LG engineers are not the most clever ones, the internet is full of "OMG...my LG C2/C3 is dimming my PC input in every other minute" complaint. Can't they read? They don't fix this.
I use my TV in this way because dimming is so annoying.

The ASBL algorithm has been updated and rectified for G3s and C3s. The need to turn it off was eliminated in 03.10.19 or 03.20.55. Telling C3 and G3 owners that they "need to do this" is misinformed BS. Stop spreading misinformation.

No way am I going to follow the directions on the screen and hit INSTOP to do that because I know from previous experience that everything will be reset.

I’ve been getting a problem that my vegetation on the game look kind of pixelated and have a shiny flickering effect

@neonyao2217 every time i restart my tv since doing this, it goes into factory mode with my appletv working in the background. I have to go through all the steps just to get rid of it. Do you have any suggestions on what to do? It keeps soft resetting my tv each time. It basically bricked my tv
1. Download ColorControl to a PC on the same network/WIFI
2. Ensure you are able to connect in CC to your TV (test Turn off/on screen)
3. Enable Expert - Advanced Settings, you will now see in the Expert Menu "Enabled Full Service Menu"
4. Click "Enable Full Service Menu"
5. Click INSTART on your service remote, now you can Turn off TPC/GSR
6. Click INSTART again and you are now not in Factory mode and these settings will save even after a power cycle
Your welcome!
Hi again to Neon. I tried this again and got it to work following your instructions. After turning off the dimming, and verifying that everything is great, I turned off my TV. One hour later I go to use it and I see FACTORY MODE, Press INSTOP key to go to User mode, press green key 7 times to go to User mode (user remote control). Please help me fix this!
great vid thanks!
edit - this doesn't work. All settings are gone (including initial TV setup) after each reboot.
Correct, the approach in this video means you have to stay in Factory Mode which is not ideal to say the least, here is how I solved this:
1. Download ColorControl to a PC on the same network/WIFI
2. Ensure you are able to connect in CC to your TV (test Turn off/on screen)
3. Enable Expert - Advanced Settings, you will now see in the Expert Menu "Enabled Full Service Menu"
4. Click "Enable Full Service Menu"
5. Click INSTART on your service remote, now you can Turn off TPC/GSR
6. Click INSTART again and you are now not in Factory mode and these settings will save even after a power cycle
Your welcome!
Bruh what are you watching? shit looks so sharp
how to save after reboot?
I have c3 and I depise the dimming it dims on football hdr anything with logo it’s driving me insane thinking of selling it. Can you still do this service menu ?? Talk about regretting buying it tbh
Worse tv I ever bought it’s dim dark and picture is so dark like I am watching it with sunglasses on and yea I have turned of energy saving tv just sucks tbh. Have to put settings up high to enjoy anything
My new LG C3 doesnt do this?
Does anyone have a link of what the proper steps are for disabling these dim modes, but being able to use the TV like you got it out of the box and able to use user modes and such? Just want to disable these settings, but have my TV out of the box normal too..... Also how do you clear logs that you messed with this? To make sure it is back to normal settings like it was never touched
