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.

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).
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.

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
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.

Isn't oled better these days?
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.) -
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.
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. -

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

Samsung for 4 years. Same. Never had to run the burn in recovery thing.
Wait, did Samsung start selling OLEDs again? Thought they were still trying to upsell LCDs by branding them QLED lol
-
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?). -

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

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
