Have I just been really lucky or something with OLEDs? Almost all the ones I have had for 5+ years on phones and such, and even my nearly two year old desktop one, have nearly zero burn in.
Samsung miniled / neo-QLED panels can be great. We opted for one because it can get way brighter full size sustained and there’s a lot of natural light hitting it from the top, side and back. You maintain decent (if not OLED, of course) contrast because it’s VA (though not all of them are?) and it’s never used for gaming anyway. But it’s use-case specific. They do sell oleds too yes.
I’ve got a buddy who runs full brightness on every phone and complains when he gets screen burn-in. “If full brightness will cause burn-in, they shouldn’t let you set it that high.”
No, dude, they give you the option so you can use the phone outdoors in sunlight. But you shouldn’t run it that bright all the time, it’s bad for it and a waste of battery.
Every time I hand him my phone to show him something he cranks my brightness all the way up. I’m worried about his eyesight.
high brightness is only a problem for static images. when i was on tiktok way to much, i had a burn in of the white plus at the bottom specifically and nothing else
How is he burning them that bad?
My current phone only has the faintest bit of burn in at the clock and battery/status symbols from the top bar, and it’s so faint I have to actively open an all white image and really look at it to notice
This is almost 10 months of continuous use as a monitor spread over 5ish years.
My C1 which I’ve been using as a monitor has no burn in. Gray uniformity is not perfect and there are some minor issues with ghosting on grays but it’s still a better monitor for my uaecase than anything else. I assume newer models are even better.
The last phone I had that got burn-in was a Samsung galaxy s5, even then I think it only started burning in after it got water damage from dropping down a waterfall (it was fine otherwise).
Mine was a Galaxy S8. Barely perceptible, but I noticed that the section of screen where I used to have the persistent on-screen navigation bar started to have some burn-in after 4-ish years of use
For my current phone, I use gesture controls and make sure that there’s no persistent screen element displaying at the bottom of the screen. I still have persistent display elements for things like battery/network/time up top, but they’re too tiny to really matter. Been using this phone now for 4 years as well and haven’t noticed any burn-in at all.
I got my first OLED (pixel 6 pro) almost 3 years ago with no issues yet, and I got an LG C3 1.5-ish years ago. Still young but newer OLEDs have features built in to prevent burn-in. We’ll see 🤞 the C3 looks incredible.

I’ve had an LG OLED tv for about 5 years, no burn in yet.
almost 5 years on my lg oled, zero burn-in. been using as a monitor, mostly with 75% brightness. lots of dead pixels on the edges though
Samsung for 4 years. Same. Never had to run the burn in recovery thing.
Wait, did Samsung start selling OLEDs again? Thought they were still trying to upsell LCDs by branding them QLED lol

Nice downvote, braindead community.
Same, 6 years on my end. No complaints
I have one from 2008. Still works great. LG OLED.
No offense, but I doubt you have an LG OLED from 2008.

No you don’t. You have LED backlighting on an LCD panel at best, or you don’t know how old your TV is.

He’s on the phone a lot with full brightness. Whatever app he uses most burns it’s UI in.

I have a CX and a G1 with no burn-in so far. I think newer panels have much better anti-burn-in protection.
rooted C8 checking in- no problems at all.
