@@lazyturfbattler 🤣 case and point. My Samsung G7 has been running since October 2020. I work 100% from home and do office work, so about 90% static productivity applications. Additionally I'd say 1-2h of gaming each day. My best guess is the screen has been on for 12.000 hours so far and I expect the screen to d0 the same work for another 10.000 - 20.000 hours. So if someone says "My OLED has been used for 20.000 hours in Excel with no burn in" then I'm listening.

[@Tryst-f4i]

Wallpaper engine with a moving wallpaper as screensaver has prevented burn in for me completely. It's never static for longer than 5 minutes and if I forget to turn things off when I leave the house, the Screensaver turns off wich saves me. Use a moving wallpaper + Screensaver for your OLED.

[@notaisnot]

I was thinking about getting a desktop and oled soon and this tip is so important to me

[@jayzn1931]

As „moving“ images don‘t repair an OLED, I am simply using a black background like in the video but I hide the taskbar and I have my icons on other monitors. Never spend a lot of time on the desktop anyway so I don‘t care about fancy images. This is actually the best you can do.

[@Warsheep2k6]

Just switch to nonicons and solid black and its a no issue altogether

[@DawnSentinel]

Wouldn't it be better to just have a pure black screensaver?

[@Paradoxonification]

What is the point? Burn-in isn't caused by static images it's caused by accumulated time emitting light.

[@vedantdesai1]

Idk about monitors - but my uncle has been using an OLED TV from 2015. He paid $10K for it - 55 inch curved flagship OLED from LG. He watches tons of news and sports on it - almost exclusively news and sports. I did the burn in test on that and there was no sign of burn in last week! That’s in 2024! Ever since then - I’ve been using my C2 and Alienware excessively without babying it anymore

[@alexlun4464]

But that's because there's little to no risk of burn-in while watching TV. Doing computer work on an oled screen is different because things seldom move on the screen - the task bar is always at the bottom of your screen for example

[@msironen]

My LG B65 OLED TV from 2016 was completely burned by about 2021 near the bottom of the screen where you have the scroller graphics from news broadcasts etc, and I didn't even watch news very much. Just got back from my in-laws and their 2017 C55 is definitely showing some burn in as well. That said, the early models from mid 2010s had a lot less burn in prevention features than the current ones. Our current C1 is doing fine but what I've noticed is that the burn in isn't gradual, but once it starts it quickly gets worse.

[@msironen]

@@alexlun4464 That's not right. A lot of broadcast TV have very static, task bar like graphics that will definitely burn in first on an OLED TV. Think of the text scrollers (well, their background) in the bottom of news broadcasts, channel logos at the corners of the screen etc.

My 2 weeks old PG32UCDP has the firmware MCM105 installed which is not available on the ASUS website. The Screen Saver function in the OLED Care menu is currently broken in MCM103 and MCM105. In SDR it only dims the edges and they stay dimmed for ever. If HDR is enabled the function seems to work. So for now the best option is to have it disabled anyway. I reported that to ASUS and they replied that will fix it in an upcoming FW update.

[@EverTechReviews]

Good to know! I just leave it off all the time but if the implementation gets better I would consider using it.

[@Marantzi]

I am interested in installing that version of firmware MCM105, it is true, it is not available on the ASUS website. Where can I get it? Any link? Does this version of the firmware allow viewing in Dolby Vision?

[@lKurosakil]

@@Marantzi Seems like the only way to get MCM105 is to buy a brand new one. Maybe you have a chance by contacting the ASUS support and they can provide you the firmware maybe. No MCM105 does not support Dolby Vision but I dont mind to be honest. Since there is not really Dolby Vision content (specially games) I see no disadvantages here

[@DecimKing]

@@lKurosakil Hi! what about now with the FIRMWARES?

[@lKurosakil]

​@@DecimKing They just released a new FW the last few days. The screen saver feature still seems only to work when HDR is activated but it does not bother me to be honest. Would still buy this monitor again because I love the WOLED panel. The only thing I can complain that it sometimes takes a little bit long to switch between SDR and HDR for example. The screen goes black for around 10 seconds or so and then there are days where the switch is instant. If you look for a 32" WOLED display I would still recommend this monitor

[@espartacos1]

i have an lg 48" monitor for a year now i do play everyday for 4 to 6 hours a day, i play online competitive, RPGs, i watch a lot of movies, youtube and i havent seen any burn in, at first i was scared but LG and their screen care made me lose that fear, just enjoy your monitor without fear

​@floreschris5574 yeah. Companies are pushing for OLEDs because they noticed IPS monitors last and it's affecting their annual growth. What's the best solution? Have the consumers go against each other, make one side mock the other side for wanting a product that lasts. Good plan if you ask me.

[@adarion2994]

got burn in after one year on the alienware AW3423DWF but kind of defuse, it's less noticeable than if it was just in one area and I see it only on full grey screen (like xbox interface), still not really ok with that, because I made everything I can to prevent this (run maintenance program every 4h, fast sleep transitions, hide icon bar, turn the pc on sleep mode every time I go away), I kind of think that burn in can still be better than all the issue you can have with LED panel compare to OLED, but I believe we should wait for less burnable screen if we want to use OLED with pc and windows that seems really made to burn your screen as fast as possible

[@msironen]

OLED owner of a few months here as well. I fairly immediately turned on screensaver as well (Mystify), but frankly it's disappointingly incomplete solution. It turns out there's a LOT of ways for various applications (like a browser displaying video) to simply prevent Windows (10 at least) from activating the screensaver. I use a KVM software when working from home, and that damn thing does it as well! (you can check this by typing powercfg -requests in command prompt, and see if any process is holding up the Display). Basically, if I forget the KVM software on after finishing work or leave a youtube browser open, I'm gonna come back to the exact static I image I left on even hours later. I wish there was some, even 3rd party, solution of FORCING the goddamn screensaver to go on, no matter what. That said I haven't noticed any burn in either yet so I guess I just gotta be more careful about the screensaver.

Apparantly WOLED displays are less prone to burn-in than QD-OLED, because WOLED displays are made by LG and they are the pioneers in OLED technology. QD-OLED displays are made by Samsung, which for some reason have a history of burn-in in their displays. My Samsung S7 also had burn-in. Would like to see a 6 month burn-in test with a QD-OLED monitor to see if there's a difference really. Monitors Unboxed and others reported noticing burn-in in their QD-OLED tests.

Nothing makes sense all panels have problems. OLED have VRR flicker , Burj in, lose brightness after years, reflection problems , Mini led have problems like Fan noise and Terrible ghosting and blur watching movie it's ok but playing games it's like an old VA panel . Also there is blooming. There is no solution. It depends by the usage, IPS are perfect balance for Productivity Monitors for day and Night use with Antiglare coating , Oleds are perfect for night use and fast competitive games, and VA or mini led panels are great for Day use watching Movies.

I’ll be setting up another “work desk” next month. So I’ll likely be doing just that

[@sametpatir]

inceleme için teşekkür ederim rog asus model başarılı

[@shadows1987]

Not being able to have any real wallpaper is so stupid and makes the whole thing seem pointless. Why have a monitor that i have to baby all the time? Thats so fragile that a *wallpaper* is gonna destroy it?

[@Walhor]

He's just being extra careful, of course you can. You could get animated wallpapers that would also prevent burn ins

[@metroplex29]

I love having my monitors lit up with a nice wallpaper, so I guess an oled monitor is a total no go for me.

[@EverTechReviews]

@@metroplex29 black screen isn’t necessary. Just something I do. May change this in the future 🤷‍♂️

[@AJCoReTV]

I’m 45, is it too late to change career to become a software dev? I’m interested in knowing what free courses exist. Thx

[@Walhor]

Gonna probably buy this soon as its on sale in my country. Was a bit worried about potential burn ins, but I had a TV for over a year now with a media PC for my wife with no issues at all

[@mentonor]

Oled monitor get a lot better software, preventing burn in time, moving pixels feature etc. Im using laptop with OLED screen from Asus. 2 years using it, are the same screen, no dead pixels.

If you do productivity, and want an oled... Rather just buy a tv instead. Pros : - Cheaper - more versatile (tv) - bigger (we all know it all comes to the size at the end) - more immersive and more enjoyable HDR experience Cons - some manufacturers like LG are bit shady when it comes to burn in cover (in other words, dont cover it) The price you paid for that Asus monitor, could potentially buy almost 2 of 42 " LG C4s. (Referring to the prices during black friday sales)

[@DisasterProblem]

Since when does productivity equal color work that you'd need "immersive " and "hdr" experience tho? Additionally, color edditors work in SDR mainly. I can even let you know of the standarized color ranges if you need me to. It is smoother to even write damn code on higher hz. Its more responsive at everything and of course games you throw at it too. We're talking about monitors here. Why would I do any type of productivity/work using any type of HDR/color modifiers ON A 42 INCH monitor burning on my face ? I'd have to sit 4 meters away.

[@jaimem1788]

Nah low dpi compared to IPS terrible for coding or text work!

[@msironen]

Cons: the auto brightness limiter cannot be disabled on most TVs except by voiding your warranty by going into the service menu, which requires you to buy a special remote to access it in the first place.

[@BlindEmperor25]

People shouldn't be scared of OLED's inevitable degradation, as long as its evenly spread across the panel.

[@israelsalas5955]

Imagine owning a display device and worrying about what type of content it displays because the content might nuke it. lmaoooooo you cannot make this stuff up!!! hahahaha

Is that a dead pixel on the 2:13-2:14? The blue and red screen has a white dot.

[@EverTechReviews]

[@beta5770]

I did something similar from the vid too

[@diuran1919]

lol black background, everything dark, no icons or hide panel lol no, Good IPS is for most user, in general use, VA panels are good for creativity and oled for TV in my opinion.

[@EverTechReviews]

Not a bad way to go

[@TransverseTech]

Oled pannel burns after 2 to 3 year of use that' why Asus give 3 years warranty 😂 if you wanted to use your monitor more than 4 years then better to with qled or ips pannel. If have lots of dad money 🤑 and easily get bored and wanted to new things every time go with oled it's give Best experience

[@samyt681]

IPS

[@jkd4568]

the amount of measures and compromises you have to take with oled to reduce burn-in on £1000+ monitors that will STILL inevitably burn in and become defective is insane. buying oled monitors is so stupid. in the next year or 2 I guarantee there will be a push back on oled monitors when all these people finally see that burn-in does exist and their £1000 monitor is now worth nothing and complete e-waste after they buy a new one

[@fricktion01]

[@GFClocked]

I have years on my tv with a ton of usage, and even then its the least of what i expect. Come back when its 6 years not 6 months old, then we can compare the results

[@otakuchan3173]

mehh.. I'm not going to pay lots of money for something I'll need to babysit at the end.. That's why I'm sticking with my 32 inch miniLED for now.. You can leave every setting at default, use static wallpapers, leave taskbar on and etc

[@johnthomas4306]

I guess QLED is better TV, But that's sad All TV industries need their Butts Beat for Doing This, But let US Beware?!?!?!

[@randy89555]

Oled must be discarded for monitors, it's literally waste of es Earth's resources and the price tag is just ridiculous

[@ownagebox]

Sry but 6 months is no indicator for monitor. My 15y old lcd monitor is still the same as in day one. Lets see how this monitor looks after only 5 years

[@Need4FPS]

Most people upgrade within 3 years so who cares what it will look like after 5 years.... If that is the scenario, most of us would still use CRT monitors lol

[@ownagebox]

@Need4FPS 3 years that's why most people stay poor

[@DisasterProblem]

@@ownagebox > "stay poor" > topic is about a highest end premium oled thats crazy lol

[@ownagebox]

@@DisasterProblem your comment is so out of context as it can be, try again.

[@burchmore5000132]

If you can't afford to upgrade at least every 2-3 years then you shouldn't be buying an OLED to begin with.

[@ДаниилБахман]

Dude i have lg oled tv from 2018 and where is nothing burning. Also oled is not good for work its only for games and watching movies or KZbin.

[@Tbagnbdn]

If you get burning, you are doing something wrong. I've used several years OLED without any burning or issues (LG)

[@EverTechReviews]

@@Tbagnbdn curious if you use it for work or just for gaming?

[@oledevo]

If you start burning you've got bigger problems.

[@Ur-dv9vt]

If you have ac or a cold ambient room you can expand the average life of the pixels. But it gradually turns the screen yellow and red.

[@livedreamsg]

Ah, yes, blame the user, not the manufacturer. Lol. This takes me back to Steve Jobs blaming people for holding the phone wrong. Lunacy.

[@bassyey]

​@@livedreamsgThe whole comment section is manufactured by Big OLED. Corporate noticed that IPS monitors last way too long and it's affecting their annual growth. So they got everyone on the OLED propaganda.

[@amelicanaitoliotuli4593]

OLED is shit ... dont buy .... theres no monitor for 7 years ....

I got dead pixels on my oled g16 after 4 months of use😢 My Pg32UCDM is completely fine though. QC is not consistent across the board. Asus also has terrible warranty for these types of products.
