LG OLED Screen Move Modes
I know this has been asked before but I cannot find a straight answer. I know what screen move is for and I plan to use it, but does anyone know what the difference is between the 3 modes? This is an LG Ultragear.

Ok this will be a complex answer, so here we go:
Mode 1: Moves the screen with larger shifts (32 pixels horizontally, 16 pixels vertically) using a Type 2 pattern.
Mode 2: Uses the same larger shifts as Mode 1 but with a Type 3 pattern.
Mode 3: Moves the screen with smaller shifts (16 pixels horizontally, 8 pixels vertically) using a Type 2 pattern.
Mode 4: Uses the smaller shifts like Mode 3 but with a Type 3 pattern.
So Mode 1 and 3 are the same, but 1 moving the pixels more. Same goes with 2 and 4, but 2 moving the pixels more.
The difference between Type 2 and Type 3 offset is straightforward. Type 2 makes the pixels move in a straight or linear fashion. Type 3 makes the pixels move in an irregular fashion, diagonally sometimes.
Basically if you want to not notice the shift, use Mode 3. If you want maximum protection use Mode 2. Mode 1 and 4 are in between those.
I personally use Mode 1 for the linear shift but with more pixels shifting.
This should also apply to any LG OLED ultra gear gaming monitor.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
How does one acquire a knowledge like this?
How often does the screen does the pixel shift?
Let’s say I choose the mode 3 you recommended, how often will this mode does its thing?
thanks for the info man.
so i use mode 1 for maximum protection right?
i got the LG dual mode 2 month ago. its a phenomenal monitor, but i somehow afraid of burn in.
what brightness mode and brightness settings do you use ?
my peak brightness is set to low at SDR and 97 on brightness setting.
when i use HDR i set Peak brightness to High. mainly on gaming and keep nit settings for the game under 1300, around 1200 ish nit settings ingame. this of course depends on the games hdr implementation.
most of the time i use this beast in SDR.
What about if I just leave this setting off?
Don't know the specific intervals, but i believe the higher the mode the more often it shifts.
Mode 3 shift more aggressive.
The aggresive meaning = edge of border + usable pixel area
even if the pixels do shift a lot, i think you won't notice a thing on oled tvs and monitors.
Yeah I agree, and I wanted a more aggressive mode, but there was no way to tell which mode is the most aggressive and which mode is the least
