Message: [QUOTE="Lena CE, post: 357547, member: 26523"] What show are you watching for 10 plus hours that is an almost entirely static image with absolutely no visual changes whatsoever? Do you mean that you're putting on something like a 10-hour loop of a song and just leaving the jpg attached to the loop fullscreened on the monitor for the entirety of the listening session? If so, then yea maybe OLED burn-in would appear in just a couple years of use. But if you're just talking about playing a game or watching a couple seasons of anime for 10+ hours you have nothing to worry about. I probably play like 30+ hours of games a week on it and that's without factoring in internet browsing and movie/show binges. This "can't use it as I please" is a limitation in your head, it isn't real. I made sure to explicitly say that I use my OLED without any limitations. I do not babysit it; I do not pay attention to what I do or don't watch/play on it. I treat it the same as every other monitor I have ever had and ever will have. There has been NOTHING about my consumption habits that has changed over nearly a decade and easily 15k-20k+ hours of use. Hell, the number of times I've come home to my PC just being stuck on the login screen cause my cat walks over my keyboard while I'm gone is innumerable. I've gone on whole vacations without forgetting to turn it off. Hard to calculate the number of days that my monitor has accidentally been left on the same static image of Serial Experiments Lain but it has got to be at least 2-3 weeks' worth of just this one image being displayed without any motion or change whatsoever. I played roughly 60 hours of Ninja Gaiden 4 on this thing over the past week that the game has been out. That's averaging almost 10 hours a day for just this game and again I've also watched a couple movies, an unknown amount of Youtube and then regular internet browsing. And I wanna clarify that I'm not mad or trying to insult you or your preferences, I just really wanna drive home that it isn't nearly as unreliable as some folks seem to believe. I remember when the Switch OLED was announced there were a couple people on twitter fearmongering about OLED burn-in and it really ignited paranoia in a lot of people, though of course people have been skeptical of the tech for quite some time in less of a mainstream sense.
