OLED in understandable language. Rating by costumers: Kiyoh 9. But know that you're sacrificing the best picture quality that money can buy. Here are some points to keep in mind:. All things considered, burn-in shouldn't be a problem for most people. From all of the evidence we've seen, burn-in is typically caused by leaving a single, static image element, like a channel logo, on-screen for a very long time, repeatedly.
If you, like most people, watch a variety of content on your TV, phone, or other device with an OLED screen, you're not going to need to worry about burn-in. What can you do to prevent burn-in on that new TV? As we mentioned, vary what you watch a bit. In particular, don't watch something that has the same static areas displayed on-screen, nonstop for days on end.
The logos and news tickers on cable news channels are examples of those static areas -- they have elements that never move, and they remain on screen the entire time you're watching. Or at least, image retention, which we'll discuss in a moment. If you play the same game for 8 hours a day, every day, the on-screen status display or HUD is also a likely culprit for burn-in.
To repeat, you can watch those channels, play games or whatever else to use your TV as a TV, your phone as a phone, etc. You just shouldn't watch only those channels, all day every day. And if that sounds extreme, know that emails I've gotten from readers about burn-in always have some variation on "well I only watched that channel for 5 hours a day.
As long as you vary what's displayed, chances are you'll never experience burn-in. That varied content will age your screen evenly. So in a hour period you watch a movie, play some games, binge some TV shows, they're all varied enough that you should be fine. The RTings torture test we mentioned above lasted the equivalent of 5 years of use and they still say "Our stance remains the same, we don't expect most people who watch varied content without static areas to experience burn-in issues with an OLED TV.
Nintendo updated its beloved Switch handheld gaming console with a few improvements, including an OLED screen. This offers a far better image than the fairly unimpressive screen on the original Switch.
As you've read above, games are one of the potential issues that could lead to image retention or, worst case, burn-in. Here's what Nintendo had to say when we asked about burn-in:. We've designed the OLED screen to aim for longevity as much as possible, but OLED displays can experience image retention if subjected to static visuals over a long period of time.
However, users can take preventative measures to preserve the screen [by] utilizing features included in the Nintendo Switch systems by default, such as auto-brightness function to prevent the screen from getting too bright, and the auto-sleep function to go into 'auto sleep' mode after short periods of time.
Which is to say, Nintendo is fully aware of this potential and took steps to minimize the risk. Also, despite many games having static HUDs, you'd need to play just that one game, for hours upon hours, every day without ever using the screen for anything else, at the highest brightness settings. But if that's you, and you regularly play only one game all day every day for weeks with brightness set to max, get the non-OLED version of the Switch , which is cheaper anyway.
For everyone else, the better image quality of the OLED version might be worth the upgrade. Let's get the descriptions right. Though often used interchangeably, "image retention" and "burn-in" are not the same thing. Image retention occurs when parts of an image temporarily "stick" on the screen after that image is gone. Let's say for an hour you're looking at a still picture of a white puppy hey, you do you, we won't judge. Then you decide to watch a movie. Let's say Best in Show because you're keeping with your theme.
But as you're watching you can still see the white puppy image, as if it's a ghost on the screen, staring at your soul. As with any new technology, we understand that you probably have questions about OLED TVs' reliability, performance, longevity and more.
Here, you'll find the information you need to help you better understand the technology and choose the right television for your home, your family, and the way you watch. However, with an LG OLED TV, any risk of burn-in or image retention have been addressed through the use of technology that not only helps protect against damage to the screen, but features self-healing properties so that any short-term image retention that may occur is quickly rectified.
It is rare for an average TV consumer to create an environment that could result in burn-in. Most cases of burn-in in televisions is a result of static images or on-screen elements displaying on the screen uninterrupted for many hours or days at a time — with brightness typically at peak levels.
So, it is possible to create image retention in almost any display if one really tries hard enough. And even if image retention does occur from extreme usage, it can usually be mitigated within a short period of time by turning the display off for a while, and watching a few hours of varying content such as your standard TV watching and channel-surfing.
First, there is a Screen Saver feature that will turn on automatically if the TV detects that a static image is displayed on screen after approximately two minutes. The first of these is the Clear Panel Noise feature that preserves the quality of the image on the display panel by resetting the TV so that it clears the pixels.
This feature can be turned on when needed within the settings mentioned above. In the pixel refresher feature, the pixels which show degradation are corrected.
Most of the publicly highlighted cases of burn-in are reported in TVs which were used for display purposes featuring a static image for long hours for many months continuously. This is by no means normal usage. While OLED TVs may be more prone to permanent image retention or burn-in than their LED counterparts, the normal viewing patterns in most homes is unlikely to cause this issue anytime soon.
Second, permanent image retention or burn-in can cause degradation in display quality. While a user may not be able to do much for the first cause, he or she may still ensure the following for the upkeep and longevity of his or her OLED TV. The lifespan of a TV is one of those numbers which is unfortunately not easily available. While we do have some numbers for different TV technologies, model-wise lifespan numbers are rarely available.
Going by the numbers published by a few well-known publications and independent tests, we can conclude that LED TVs usually last between 40, to 60, hours. This translates into several years of usage before the TV falls to poor brightness levels.
Hence, we can safely allay our concerns w. Its potential life is far more than what any user may ever use it for. Most independent publications hold that burn-in will not occur in the course of normal TV viewing. If you are still reading, I believe you are looking for a more detailed answer.
