Burn-in on OLEDs is really just uneven wear. I don’t think it really matters how bright they get for that, unless panel heat is an issue at higher brightnesses.

- jdiff 3y agoHigher brightness leads to faster wear. If the wear is uneven, this leads to faster burn at higher brightness.
- bitwize 3y agoBurn-in on CRTs was just uneven wear, too, but still a pain in the ass.
- macNchz 3y agoI remember encountering CRTs burnt in so badly it was hard to read stuff in the worst areas (e.g. the taskbar clock or login prompt) but I haven’t encountered anything remotely close to that with current OLEDs. My iPhone and TV have no signs at all, and the last device I used that had legitimately easy-to-detect burn in was a Nexus One test device that sat on my desk with the screen on all day every day while I built an Android app in 2012.
