The Windows taskbar is already destroying this OLED monitor after 9 months lol

idk what kind of trash qd oleds are but I have lg c1 in usage for almost 4 years now (march 2021) and 10k hours.
no burn in at all.
Just use desktop at SDR and hdr in hdr.
No point doing mode than 100-120 nits in sdr content or running it in hdr

Trash? LG's are burning in just as fast, if not faster on RTINGS. These tests are not based on normal use.

Maybe not all that visible depending on what you're watching, but could still be burn in nevertheless.

Also I'm sure RTINGS/etc. have a more quantifiable way of determining if a screen has burn-in vs the tried and true "trust me bro" approach.

It's not LG vs other brands.
It's WOLED vs QDOLED.
W is for white pixel doing a lot of work. Organic material used for White pixel has the most longevity and LG invented WOLED to make the white pixel take some of the abuse.
Meanwhile some qdoled models abandon that and just drive the brightness (rgb pixels voltage) to max so it burns out faster.

I tested. There is no burn out at all. Not even a sign. Tested the patters in sdr and hdr. Nothing.
I have the service remote too for checking the hours and compensation cycles.
not to mention I have tpc and gsr disabled for last 6000 hours. So my c1 doesn't dim down when there is no movement on the screen for extended period of time.
There is obviously some burn out on R G B voltages level but it's all evened out with daily and 2000 hours compensation cycles. Nothing is visibly burned out or changed compared to 1st day I had it.

I know what I am talking about "bro"

He's intentionally trying to burn the monitor by skipping all of the mitigations.

I've been using a QDOLED as my work monitor for the past 18 months and I also have no burn-in. The only mitigations I use (outside of sleep mode) are autohiding the taskbar and having the system switch backgrounds every now and then. It's otherwise 99% a work monitor (that I occasionally play video games on) and there's still no hint of any retention.

I have a CX thats still absolutely like brand new. As for OP and thread, the whole point is moot for "purposeful burn in" when you can avoid them through the manufacturers own tools to prevent it.

 

[Imtjnotu]

I have currently in my house a

C1 - bedroom
C2 - computer monitor / console TV
S90c - in the living room
S95c - bedroom tv
C9 - spare TV just collecting dust

None of them have any burn in. Even with the fiance constantly watching hsn and shit

Feel like the op is missing the point of the video. Hence the big words saying ON PURPOSE. Aka no pixel refresh or panel maintenance.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

QD-OLED monitors ftw

 

[rofif]

QD-OLED monitors ftw

maybe my next purchase if they will make 42-48 4k models. if not, c5,6,7,8 whatever for me

 

[FalconPunch]

QD Oled monitors burn in. I had mine replaced by Dell warranty due to burn in. In this aspect, WOled is far superior to QD Oled. I’ve owned several world panels and they’ve never burned in once.

I mean he's just using it for his daily office work, he's not displaying CNN on a loop like RTings is doing

In a general sense, if you are a typical PC user you probably don't display games 24/7 on your computer. Plus many games like Fortnite or Call of Duty have a constantly on screen fixed HUD which is no different from displaying CNN on a loop. So even if you aren't doing office work 8 hours a day on the monitor, this will still apply to you but at a slower degradation rate. Already having visible burn-in after 9 months just doing normal work isn't exactly an optimistic scenario for how this monitor will look in 3-4 years

If you find a cheap OLED monitor and plan on throwing it away every couple of years and buying a new one when it's badly burned in then you'll be fine. But if you are used to buying a nice monitor and expecting it to work fine for 5-10 years, the point of this test is to show that this is not feasible with OLED displays

I don't think they do.

 

[RoboFu]

I have a lg oled monitor for a year now and use it as a work monitor as well so it's on at least 8 hours straight a day with the same visual studio, vs code , Xcode running most of the time.

No issues yet.

 

[Celcius]

I'm on an iPhone 12 Pro that I've had over 4 years, used it a lot, never done any special treatment, and it doesn't have any burn in.
My OLED Switch doesn't either.
But then seeing stuff like this makes me nervous about getting a large OLED like a monitor or a TV...

By the time I bought my 15 Pro Max my 13 Pro Max had already burned in the top icons. Clearly visible with a grey background.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Yeah this is on purpose but really OLED seems to be safe. My CX is 4 years and above average usage, no single burn in. Ofcourse I use refresh when prompted etc.

I think if you push it, like having stills for 24 hours straight etc, or perhaps never change channel, then you might eventually get it or you're unlucky with a monday model.

My phones never had burn in too, such as the Nexus 6P I used for 4 years straight. Now Pixel 7 for over 2 years. Knock on wood.

 

[Thebonehead]

I run translucent toolbar on my Alienware aw3225qf. If it burns then there is always the 3 year warrranty ( I'll probabaly upgrade it next year anyway )

 

[dotnotbot]

From Rtings burn-in test:

We've uploaded the 18-month results to each review. There's very little that's new to report this month; most of the LED TVs on the test are continuing to degrade (especially edge-lit models, more on that in a few days!). All OLED TVs are now showing signs of permanent burn-in. The Samsung S95C OLED remains the most resilient of the OLED models, showing only slight signs of burn-in.

So their S95C (gen2) seems significantly more burn-in resistant than gen1 panels.

 

[StereoVsn]

I have had my C3 42” that I use as PC monitor for quite a while now and no issues.

Just let it do pixel cleanup/shifting, hide Windows taskbars and don’t do super crap like leaving a hud element on for days.

 

[LectureMaster]

That's why I ended up with LG G4 with 5 years of panel warranty, I just like peace of mind when buying big piece.
