    I’m so glad that we are moving away from screens that will last 20+ years to screens that will be in a landfill after 2 years because of burn in.

      My TV is OLED and is five years old with zero burn in. It’s much less common now unless you’re a taxi driver.

        My TV

        • moves static pictures around a bit
        • has an aggressive screen saver, then power down
        • streaming devices are fairly aggressive about sleeping/ power down
        • there’s only so many hours to watch TV
        • most video has a lot of dark

        Those are great features to combat burnin and save energy, and no big deal on my TV. However those would be aggravating on a monitor I’m trying to work at, plus most of the monitor is bright

        Pixels are dying on my LG OLED TV in under 5 years, that’s a common issue, i’m fine with it watching media, but desktop usage use the whole picture and that shit would be thrown out.

        I couldn’t have been better to the panel.

            How is a screen saver supposed to do anything to prevent burn in from games that have static images like the UI in an MMO or the scoreboard in a sports game?

              Most OLEDs today ship with logo detection and will dampen the brightness on static elements automatically.

              While it isn’t a silver bullet, it does help reduce burn in since it is strongly linked to heat, and therefore to the pixel brightness. New blue PHOLEDs are expected to also cut burn in risk. Remember that LCDs also used to have burn in issues, as did CRTs.

        I have burn in on mine but honestly I barely notice it and realized it’s not as big of an issue for me haha.
