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

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've had an LG OLED tv for about 5 years, no burn in yet.

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.

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.

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.

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).

I have an LG OLED from about 8 years ago, and I do some rather pronounced burn in. I was also rather careful about leaving anything fixed on the screen. I have some friends with a slightly newer panel and they too have burn in. So maybe lucky? Or maybe your generation of panel is less susceptible than mine.

That said, I’m about to renovate my house, and when I’m done I’ll consider buying another OLED panel. Worth it in my opinion.

I have a CX and a G1 with no burn-in so far. I think newer panels have much better anti-burn-in protection.

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

rooted C8 checking in- no problems at all.

CRT suffer from phosphor fade

more like that picture of randy with giant cancerous balls

While improvements have been made to management to help they will still all suffer burn in. Use them with any static content and they will show signs of problems within months.

My oled phone from 2021 started slowly developing vertical lines of bad pixels this year and has some burn in on the status bar area. It's still usable, but definitely kind of annoying and a lot worse than the status of the lcd on the older phone it replaced.

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.)

I loved the picture from our plasma, but the heat it generated was something else. It was like running a bar heater with better graphics. Literally needed to run the air conditioning to watch TV.

2011 plasma and still going strong

Also laughing in last generation plasma.

Same. I did have some retention early in the panel's life (Investigation Discovery logo) - but that's vanished and it's been fine.

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

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.

So are mine – but the power use is becoming a problem. More modern screens use less than half that at the same size and brightness. Replacement will be necessary soon.

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.

Shhh… quit trying to convince these people, let them have their inferior response times and colours. Less competition for the enlightened, means that prices won’t skyrocket due to an influx of demand.

All that edge LED crap was such BS marketing. Even most renditions of the zoned backlighting are trash that makes obvious bright spots and glowing features in the wrong scenes.

Anyone selling a "LED TV" that was just LED backlighting should've been fined.

The exact opposite actually. All the lcd I have are over 10 years old. They don't give up.

Yep mine too after only a couple years. I knew it was going to be a problem when I bought the phone, but I do like the true black....

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

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

The screen will, but my ears won’t. Idk I am just old enough to have been at the tail end of CRTs, but I can’t stand the high pitched whine. They all do that, right?
