"No, you post it. I don't post. You're the poster" Okay, fine

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Probably all of them have it, I would be surprised if you could turn it off actually.
The "refresh" just makes the pic more uniform again, the refresh itself is a sort of controlled burn-in.
Not too long ago OLEDs would lose brightness due to it (especially red brightness iirc?). -
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.
I would be ok with it if it asked before starting like my LG. But sometimes I will grab a drink in the middle of gaming and windows will sleep the monitor, and I come back to a monitor that won’t turn on or do anything. No lights nothing. The only way to use it again is unplug it for 30 seconds.

wrote last edited by [email protected]That is very weird. My AW3423DWF will stop the refresh cycle in the middle as soon as it detects an input in standby and come back within a second or two. What model do you have? It might be worth updating the firmware.

wrote last edited by [email protected]AW3423DWb. Maybe the cord was messed up. I just set it up in a different place so I’ll wait and see if that issue persists. Firmware update sounds like a good idea.
I’m playing more on the LCD lately anyways. It’s 1080, but it’s a smooth 520hz

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.
This is almost 10 months of continuous use as a monitor spread over 5ish years.
My C1 which I've been using as a monitor has no burn in. Gray uniformity is not perfect and there are some minor issues with ghosting on grays but it's still a better monitor for my uaecase than anything else. I assume newer models are even better.

2013 Plasma owner, no burn in here!

I’ve got a buddy who runs full brightness on every phone and complains when he gets screen burn-in. “If full brightness will cause burn-in, they shouldn’t let you set it that high.”
No, dude, they give you the option so you can use the phone outdoors in sunlight. But you shouldn’t run it that bright all the time, it’s bad for it and a waste of battery.
Every time I hand him my phone to show him something he cranks my brightness all the way up. I’m worried about his eyesight.

As I stated it's static content which will cause the most obvious issue, most TVs won't show that. Refreshing the screen helps mitigate or hide most general damage now.

I still think there is no better picture than a plasma screen and I’ll die on this hill.

2011 plasma and still going strong

Even without pixel refresh, newer OLED panels generally don't burn-in much, if at all. Still wouldn't risk skipping the auto refresh, though honestly many of them run it without telling you now when the screen goes into standby. I wouldn't even know my 2024 Alienware OLED ran it at all without accidentally interrupting it.

I also have a 1080p 2007 LCD still kicking. To be fair, any lcd I ever bought is still in great shape. But that one is the oldest.
My CRTs eventually started showing burn in. Also we never had a special one so image quality was ok at best, even compared to our first LCD units, so I can't say I miss them.
Give it up one more time for old LCDs trucking along, such perseverance, really awesome
Same!! Was recently thinking of replacing it, but then I thought “Why?” So… meh.

I have an old plasma and it's fine. The burn in is real though

I think mines from like 03, but it was burnt in when I got it
-
I have one from 2008. Still works great. LG OLED.
No you don't. You have LED backlighting on an LCD panel at best, or you don't know how old your TV is.

high brightness is only a problem for static images. when i was on tiktok way to much, i had a burn in of the white plus at the bottom specifically and nothing else

2009 plasma here

Wait, did Samsung start selling OLEDs again? Thought they were still trying to upsell LCDs by branding them QLED lol
wrote last edited by [email protected]Samsung miniled / neo-QLED panels can be great. We opted for one because it can get way brighter full size sustained and there's a lot of natural light hitting it from the top, side and back. You maintain decent (if not OLED, of course) contrast because it's VA (though not all of them are?) and it's never used for gaming anyway. But it's use-case specific. They do sell oleds too yes.
Nice downvote, braindead community.

Also laughing in last generation plasma.

Amen. I'm still rocking a 2011 Samsung plasma but unfortunately it's slowly getting worse. Think OLED will replace it, definitely not LED.
