LG OLED TVs stand out for their image quality and advanced options, but there’s even more hidden potential that you can unlock by accessing the secret menu or hidden service menu. In this updated 2025 tutorial, we’ll explain how to access it safely and get the most out of your screen.

What is the service menu?

It’s an internal tool designed for LG technicians that allows for deep adjustments that aren’t available in the conventional menu. With it, you can further improve aspects like maximum brightness, sharpness, color management, and panel response.

How to access the hidden menu on your LG OLED

Follow these steps with caution, as any incorrect changes could affect your TV’s functionality:

1. Prepare the original remote control for your LG OLED.

2. Press the “Settings” button on the remote control.

3. Once the side menu appears, select “All Settings”.

4. Position yourself over the “Picture” option, but don’t enter it.

5. Quickly press the following sequence on the remote control:

1113111

This means quickly pressing the numeric buttons in this exact order. If you’ve done it correctly, you’ll see the hidden service menu appear on the screen.

Recommendations for console gamers:

Once inside the hidden menu:

• Maximum HDR brightness: You can slightly increase it to get the most out of HDR in games like Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Motorsport, or Spider-Man 2. Don’t overdo it to avoid screen retention. (These are examples of some games)

• Sharpness and noise reduction: Disable noise reduction and lower sharpness to achieve a cleaner and more faithful image in Xbox, PS5, or Switch 2 titles.

• Color mapping: If you’re using a low-latency mode (ALLM) or a custom game mode, you can adjust the color curve to get better visual fidelity without affecting input lag.

• Input Delay (if available): Some versions of the menu allow you to adjust input latency. Always set it to the lowest possible mode for competitive games.

The table shows only some representative examples, but these improvements apply to a wide variety of games and configurations. Each player can adjust the values according to the type of experience they’re looking for, whether it’s competitive titles, narrative adventures, or family games. The hidden menu offers finer control than the standard menu, ideal for customizing your console experience to the max.
