OLED screen burn-in and OLED/LED dirty screen effect test patterns

50% gray, 100% red, 100% green, 100% blue, 100% cyan, 100% magenta, and 100% yellow test patterns to check OLED screens for burn-in and OLED/LED dirty screen effect issues

One year and a half of gaming/video/internet browsing on a LG C1 48". No burn-in, the screen is perfect. Thanks for the test.🥳

[@-Cybin]

do you dim your screen? Or do you always have it on 100%? Just got a G C3 and I am kinda paranoid, lmao. I usually play in a dark room tho and don't have it on full blast. I guess there won't be an issue

[@scheffchen]

same here. i dont dimm. I have game mode enabled. i use my windows desktop normally with all icons where they are etc. no burn in what so ever.@@-Cybin

[@devilgames2217]

Same TV and I got burn in from BF2042 (primary weapon and health bar). It's like a shade and only noticeable when that part of the screen is blue. My TV has over 4K hours in, I've played that game for 600-700 hours. Many other games for about half the time and no problems.

[@phoenix_9935]

my monitor four years :)

[@HKT-4300]

Not for me lmao i got mad burn in from web browsing lol, mainly on red, but it's only there if really look for it on full color screens. Same TV, but i'm a brightness freak so i take the blame fully, however burn in is definitely still possible it seems.

question i see a few of black tiny squares on my b8 on the yellow part but not on any other does this mean dead pixels ?

[@JuanGarcia-tj4pg]

Over 2 years of using a pre-owned galaxy s9 and just started having a subtle burn in where the navigation bar is. Can't see it on some colors. Switched to gestures, not sure how much that'll help

[@tri0xin]

I have a 2019 C9 OLED 65"... after nearly 5 years of using it full time as my computer monitor/tv(mostly pc use) Probably average of 6 hours a day I see no burn in on those colors.. only thing I possibly see is in the last yellow color a very very very faint line where the red youtube progress bar is. almost like when a video ends and theres that solid thin red bar across the bottom of the video. I'll have to occasionally change the size of the window occasionally to keep this from getting noticeable.

[@HazewinDog]

Looks like my B9 is still going strong. Nothing detected just yet! I bought it used, from a woman who said she's used it on average 3-4 hours a day. I've had it for half a year now and use it as my desktop monitor. I work from home so it sees a LOT of use :)

[@HazewinDog]

No burn-in on my 4-year-old OnePlus 6 yet either!

[@dookers8899]

what brightness do you use

[@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear]

I have minor burn in around the browser tab areas on my LG GX 55 inch. The area was brighter colour that's why I got burn in. Now I changed the chrome tab to a darker colour. Should have done this earlier but ow well, the burn in isn't that noticeable though. And I always on max brightness. I'm a brightness freak. Now I upgrade to Samsung s95c and will be more careful.

[@HazewinDog]

@@dookers8899 I use Rtings's recommended settings and have OLED Light at 100%, but the TV does have protection built-in which limits brightness if there is a lot of bright areas on screen. I have all protections enabled except the logo dimming one, as this was very glitchy for me. Also, still no burn-in visible at all :)

[@neo1az]

This 70" is my 2nd Sony OLED TV which I have had for several years. I use it for everything from my computer to movies. My first OLED TV was ruined by watching the news with their fixed static panels and logos. I have been more careful with this TV by using minimum brightness and using a button on the remote to turn the screen off when not in use. It looks like it has held up very well in your tests. One area that showed well in your tests but not in mine was the Taskbar area for the computer at the very bottom of the screen. I have turned the taskbar off now except when in active use.

[@nsmwdkjsbdjsjdn299]

Even though oled tvs are amazing, i would not be able to tolerate the constant worry of burn in. I would choose a different panel tv just so i can relax

[@neo1az]

With the brightness on minimum there is no burn in with heavy use except some mild on the Taskbar. @@nsmwdkjsbdjsjdn299

[@sinnervoinescu4259]

I can see some brown spots,they are not veru visible,but idk if they are just dust

[@bigbirdwpg]

Very useful,, thanks. Good so far. I used to own a Samsung 58" plasma and played Hitman Absolution for hours. The "meter" on the lower right had a bright yellow scale that burned into the screen. I still play that game guit a bit. Hope that doesn't happen to my new s90c 65" QD OLDED.

By running "Pixel Refresher" or similar. Only do it when it is necessary, because it simply reduces the good pixels to match your most degraded pixels.
