RIP people who spend a significant amount of time on the desktop. Steam Deck: burn-in edition.
Edit: I get it, I guess it's not that big of a problem anymore. I've been (pardon the pun) burned by first generation OLED screens back in the day.

I mean... how significant is significant? I've had OLED phones and tablets for years and I have an OLED Switch, I've yet to see any burn-in issues.
I have no idea if they have any screen care tools in there, but these days you can use a 7 inch OLED screen just fine for the types of things you do on a handheld.
Maybe don't use the desktop as an always-on night light, but it should be fine.
They still sell the LCD model if anybody's worried, though.

Legit WulfsDen had to put a switch oled at max brightness, worst case scenario scene on 24/7 for 2 whole years in order to get burn in.
The burn in rates of modern oleds is significantly lower than how they were at launch
Youd legitamately have to find the user who uses handheld mode desktop at max brightness 24/7 with only white elements only for it to be a serious problem, and thats such a ridiculously niche usecase.

I've heard the, but I think these tests don't take into account things like UV exposure. All the OLED devices I own (phone, TV) have burn in, and I think it's due to our large windows in our apartment.

UV is destructive to any kind of surface regardless of whether its oled or not. LCDs suffer major discoloration then exposes to long periods of sunlight.

I have OLED everything in my household. Several laptops. 3 multi monitor setups used all day everyday for work from home. 4 phones. 4 tablets. Two tvs. A switch. Not a single display shows any indication of burn in.
