• Recall of some LG OLED TVs - Here's what you need to know

There seems to be something wrong with LG OLED TVs in South Korea, a new report shows. Some 60,000 TVs have been recalled due to a failure in their power boards that carries a risk of power surges and LG is currently investigating the extent of the problem. The issue was first reported by Yonhap News, which claims that 18 different OLED TV series produced between February 2016 and September 2019 may be affected, including the very popular C7 and B7 series, but only in South Korea. . In a follow-up to the report with ZDNet, LG says it's aware of the problem and has offered to replace the power cards, though it doesn't classify it as a government-mandated recall and more something the company is doing. Proactively to prevent problems. "The overheating problem only occurred in very few of the total models that used the component, but we will provide free component exchanges for everyone for customer safety," LG said. Yonhap News claims that LG has currently repaired 22,000 OLED TVs and there have been no cases of faulty power boards outside of South Korea to date.

Is your LG OLED TV in danger?

The short answer? Probably not. While all of LG's OLEDs use the same panels as those at the LG display factory in Paju, South Korea, it's likely that the power cards are region-specific to handle the different voltage standards of different countries, that ie OLED TVs made for Korea probably don't have the same power board as TVs made for Europe or North America. That being said, LG is investigating the possibility that other countries may be affected by the issue. We'll keep you posted if any new cases are discovered outside of South Korea, but for now you can continue using your OLED as usual until you see how the situation develops.
