Yes, burn in still exists for new flagship OLED panels
But you're very unlikely to experience it compared to past technologies, even if you are displaying a static image for extremely long periods
- wccrawford 3y agoPlus, the TVs have good default settings to prevent it even if you're negligent.
- oblio 3y ago> even if you're negligent. It's a TV!!! There shouldn't be any "negligent" :-) Some people are fine with tiptoeing around the problem, I imagine most people just don't do anything and mess up their TV. I shouldn't have to configure FVWM for 20 days to be able to operate the appliance correctly.
- actionfromafar 3y agoCRTs had the same problem for decades, so while I agree it shouldn’t I’m certainly not unfamiliar.

- wccrawford 3y agoYou wouldn't have to configure anything, even on older TVs. But there are things you can do that will eventually harm it, like leave the same bright image on the TV for hours. That's negligence, especially if the manual tells you not to. The newer TVs can detect that scenario and turn the TV off automatically, unless you specifically disable that setting. TVs are a luxury good, and there will always be ways to be negligent with anything. Leaving them out in the rain is negligent. Some cleaners will harm the screen, I'm sure. Using them in a too-hot or too-cold environment will harm them. I don't expect my TV to be battle-hardened, and I'm certainly not going to pay the price for that. Instead, I'll take care of it.

- lucideer 3y agoOLED panels willl always suffer from burn-in in some form. What I meant by "is it a thing" is "will users ever experience it to a detectable degree". I guess the answer here is "No" then. I've seen the video where the guy leaves a bright high-contrast static image on his Nintendo Switch OLED for 10,000 hours before finally seeing a small amount of burn-in, but that's not the level that should concern average users. Was just curious if typical large screens fared any worse than the new Switch.
