Have I just been really lucky or something with OLEDs? Almost all the ones I have had for 5+ years on phones and such, and even my nearly two year old desktop one, have nearly zero burn in.
Before I broke the screen I think my iPhone X was 4 years old and i recall the home bar and notification bar had a little ghosting. Other than that I haven’t had burn in with my oled tv or monitor, but I let them auto clean and all that.
My only warning is don’t get an Alienware oled, it auto cleans on a completely random schedule and won’t power on half the time I go to use it

I've had an LG OLED tv for about 5 years, no burn in yet.
I have one from 2008. Still works great. LG OLED.

rtings.com has a long running test for burn in on OLED and uniformity on LCD:

You have to push them quite hard to get any significant burn in.

I have a 27 year old LCD that would still be great but the fluorescent tube that backlights it has dimmed. It's on my trash pile of projects to fix it with an led strip.

Isn't oled better these days?

almost 5 years on my lg oled, zero burn-in. been using as a monitor, mostly with 75% brightness. lots of dead pixels on the edges though

My LCDs are nearly two decades old. Insane value
Two years ago I had to throw a screen away, because once I retired an old GPU, I had no device left with a VGA port.

rooted C8 checking in- no problems at all.

The last phone I had that got burn-in was a Samsung galaxy s5, even then I think it only started burning in after it got water damage from dropping down a waterfall (it was fine otherwise).

The burn in claims are grossly exaggerated. A simple pixel refresh that runs automatically when the screen sleeps counters the burn in. Most OLED screens you buy now have a pixel or panel refresh feature.

As of 2010, LG Electronics produced one model of OLED television, the 15-inch (38 cm) 15EL9500.
No offense, but I doubt you have an LG OLED from 2008.

CRT suffer from phosphor fade
That can be repaired. It’s not particularly easy, but it can be done and there are people who do it especially for old arcade machines.

Mine was a Galaxy S8. Barely perceptible, but I noticed that the section of screen where I used to have the persistent on-screen navigation bar started to have some burn-in after 4-ish years of use
For my current phone, I use gesture controls and make sure that there's no persistent screen element displaying at the bottom of the screen. I still have persistent display elements for things like battery/network/time up top, but they're too tiny to really matter. Been using this phone now for 4 years as well and haven't noticed any burn-in at all.

more like that picture of randy with giant cancerous balls

I finally had to replace mine at over 15 years, maybe even close to 20 years, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a panel failure but one of the boards because it just shut off one day and never came back on. And prices had gone down so much in that time I went out and bought two 27” full HD monitors at Costco for what I think is the same or less than what I paid for that 17” SXGA in the early ’00s.

LCD companies don't want you to know this one weird trick.

2007 1080p LCD still kicking.
Also have one of the tiny CRTs with the VCR built in that is god knows, 80s or 90s.

Ah, I have an Alienware OLED and didn't find the refresh too annoying. For me I just leave it on standby for a bit when I'm taking a break and it'll be done with the refresh when I'm back. I can get how it can be a pain though, since it sometimes does not pop up the refresh info message for some reason.

wrote last edited by [email protected]For a bright room they only now have(ish!) the juice to actually perform*, but they all recommend to run them are like 80% brightness.
*top, expensive models I mean, and even tho for a lot of content you need a little bit less brightness compared to even VA, due to contrast, but that is way not enough to make a difference + with dimness of OLEDs you have to be extra careful to buy one that actually has a black screen when turned off in a bright room (and not grey in a bright environment bcs it fucks the contrast).
So, my use case, with running at 100% brightness, I would have some sort of burn-in in a few years. Absolutely not something I want to look at for a decade.
And I'm old enough to have had beautiful PVA & MVA matrices that burned in (I bought them old actually -I clinged to my CRT for as long as possible, and then suffered TN for gaming- and for my second monitor most of the time).
One of my 1600×1200 PVAs (the later model without burn in) is still next to my serves, so every few years or so it shows console :'''(.
As I see it, for a bright room, there are no OLEDs ... maybe some of the newest gen TVs maybe?
For a normal room, buy an OLED with the mentality that you might want to e-waste it after 5 years of taking care of it (no static content, no max brightness).
(This is way batter than 1 or 2 years from a few gens back.) -

wrote last edited by [email protected]I got my first OLED (pixel 6 pro) almost 3 years ago with no issues yet, and I got an LG C3 1.5-ish years ago. Still young but newer OLEDs have features built in to prevent burn-in. We'll see
the C3 looks incredible.
