StingingVelvet: If this is a joke I don't get it. The OP is kinda nutty but he's right that OLED is a wonderful technology that takes away most of LCD's issues. Can't wait until OLED monitors are affordable.
It was just a tasteless joke, since I suspect Geralt was sort of trolling again. tbh I don't even know what OLED is, my laptop is ten years old, so I'm behind the times.
I'd take mini LED over OLED any day. Good luck finding a mini LED monitor that doesn't cost an arm and a leg though. =/

Compared to quality LCD TV from 2010+ year, OLED has better (saying "better" is not enough) blacks and angles almost without any colour glitches

BUT:

- continuity of colors is a joke;
- dark places are darker for huge contrast feeling but you can't see details (new LCD displays have the same problem);
- Motion interpolation is garbage (image glitch, fade, teleport objects or theatrical movement);
- and you need it even in 120Hz TV if you want to see moving objects (I didn't have to use any motion enhancement technology on my old TV, even for fast, low-quality scenes);
- for games I have only one specific setup, if I change something lags may appear, blur, judder etc. (120 Hz "gaming TV");
- for everything else I have set several settings and I'm changing between them many times a day (old TV has one and there was no reason to change anything with one exception but too long to explain).

I can sit 20cm from CRT for hours but I can't watch this unnaturally high contrast with hundreds strong lights directly aimed at the eye on OLED. I must admit that this is very individual.

I have OLED for 1,5 years. New LCD displays from the same company as my old one TV are worse but have plenty of up-to-date apps.

A stupid time when any device is for everything, but not good enough at what they should be made for.

I'm not sure about the technical language, so I call it my way and mark by italic.

Everything changes if your OLED displays 4K HDR Dolby Visual ATM STV UVB OGR RH+ LPG HDR10 awesome material.
C'mon, you're supposed to be on the cutting art of state of the edge technology, aren't you?

So where's your Organic light-emitting transistor TV? Or do you plan to go for Ferroelectric liquid crystal display?

Personally, I'm still waiting on those future concepts that showed up in Popular Science. Like that Volumetric display that allowed an isometric view of a basketball game or those wall panels that were conceptualized to be able to display images.

OLED has burn in problems and has a short lifespan thanks to the organic components, it's only the future for those invested in forced obsolescence. We need better tech than this.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: OLED is garbage. It suffers from burn in, and also, it's components die out after a few years since they are organic. And it's ludicrously expensive despite it being trash.

Anyone who buys an OLED display is getting scammed, big-time.
You won't get a burn in,.unless you are watching cable TV (which nobody really does nowadays) or if you keep the same menu displayed over time.


You are the same guy who told me Blu-Ray is useless despite the objective fact that streaming services are kind of trash and offer shit quality of 30 mbps compared to 80mbps, so I won't treat you as an authority.


Have you ever had an OLED and had a burn in?

Jon_Irenicus_PL: Infinite contrast ratio.
Really? Which kind of infinity are we talking about? Real infinity? Complex infinity? What does it even mean for a ratio, which is necessarily a number, to be infinite? Are we working in the extended real line? The one-point compactification of the complex numbers?
You cannot just specify “infinite” without also describing exactly which infinity you mean.

Aha, so I won't get burn-in unless I do. Yes, and a tautology is a tautology. If you haven't noticed, there exists these things called “user interfaces”, which by design doesn't move around much, and therefore can cause burn-in by displaying the same image, at least in some places.

Jon_Irenicus_PL: Have you ever had an OLED and had a burn in?
No, because I have not had an OLED screen. But that doesn't mean the concept doesn't exist -- for example, I have never eaten rat poison, yet I am fairly certain that that would be harmful, and therefore I won't do it.

Wow - there's just so much here that's wrong.

Screen burn and image retention come from a number of uses.

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-uk/000149894/preventing-or-removing-image-burn-in-image-retention-or-ghosting-on-my-dell-lcd-tv

Many people watch cable or network TV for 4+ hours a day. Consumers in the US (the home market for Prime, Netflix and Apple) watch more network TV than streaming

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/17/nielsen-streaming-makes-up-only-26percent-of-time-spent-in-front-of-tv.html

For many real world examples of image retention and burn, check out this 230 page thread, which includes the person who got image retention of the black bars from watching cinemascope films on a streaming service:

https://www.avforums.com/threads/oled-screen-burn-permanent-image-retention.2056624/

If you must keep posting about technology that you've just "discovered" and quite frankly don't understand, try joining AVForums. Of course, they might be more... robust at correcting your errors.

So, as with every other tech question that you've asked (4K, HDR, building your own GPU, whether you need to upgrade, whether it's not worth gaming unless you've got a 3080), the answer is an obvious and unsurprising no.

Not seeing how that's a tautology. I specified that something will not happen unless you do something. That's a perfectly correct statement.

As for your complaints about the semantics of the word infinity:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophist weird that you got upvoted for being one

Rat poison is a bad example, as killing stuff is its purpose.

I am not sure why you need to mock me by bringing up unrelated previous threads, which are hardly relevant anyway and perfectly fine

If he got image retention, then that will go away, he just needs to watch some 1.78:1 and he will be fine

Rtings.com say image burn in is not a problem

Is there still an image fading problem with OLEDs. How long do the light pixels last before they lose their strength?

Not a problem though.... With several tricks, jumping through hoops and careful babysitting, you can squeeze a couple of years at best out of an overpriced product before having to buy a new one. Until this is somehow resolved, it will never become a mainstream product, especially for gaming.

If they're perfectly fine, then it can't be mocking you, can it?

A review website might say that image burn in is not a problem, but how about you read those 230 pages of real world examples? If you want to debate this, try AVForums; they're tech specialists and might be more receptive to your current fads.

Also, while this could be considered to be off-topic, a word to the wise: perhaps you should look at how you talk to the other forum users before you criticise responses that you get.

Anyway, back on topic to the thread, the answer to your main question is "Of course it isn't". Or possibly "There's nothing that normal consumers need to be saved from". I can't quite decide, so you get two for the price of one. How's that for value.

Great video - a very good summary of the issues that OP will face.

I use a BenQ PD2700U and needed to purchase a 5 year warranty from BestBuy due to screen burn in problems, and as someone who edits images and does office work and splits the windows I get the same issue as Linus did in the video.
I worry for this so thank god I covered my purchase on issues like this and hope that one day they can rid of this problem.

I have yet moved to OLED when I saw issues with the major burn in :/
