Sorry didn't explain myself clearly. I have watched that video, but was wondering if it was temporary or permanent.
Ah gotcha. I think I do have permanent burn in on my plasma though, but not sure. It's only been a week or so.
I think it's cumulative, but I'm not 100% sure. That said, it seems like there's a lot left to random chance whether you'll experience burn in or not. That Rtings video posted above tested six identical OLEDs, and the differences between them could be pretty stark. Your best bet is to just shell out for a warranty that lets you replace the set if need be.
No, if there's image retention when you turned it off, it should still be there when you turn it back on. At least, until you run the screen wipe feature or watch full screen content. At least, that's how it went with my plasma TVs
Heh. Well, that's the magic question when it comes to this topic. Just as it was with plasma you will find dozens of different answers depending upon who you ask. Some people will tell you it's still "temporary" even when it's been there for weeks.
If you know about it, it's easy to manage. It only happens if an image is bright and on the same area for hours, but if you go out to the os home for example, or just pause a game, it won't happen. Plus the LG ones have screen shift and ways to get rid of the retention. Burn in will happen if you leave the same overlay for long hours and the oled light is set to a 100. Have had mine for months without issues.
1. They display real life varied content in tests, NOT the same picture. Gaming, CNN, sports, etc.
I just turn the TV off to be honest. It's on again quick enough to not be an issue. That's the only change I did when I switched to OLED and so far no burn in. Saves energy too and would prob be the smart thing to do even on an LED.
The content is irrelevant. The tv doesn't know the difference. If a game has hud elements and you play the game a lot, it's going to pose some risk to an OLED.
Well, if you say that content is irrelevant, how does that explain that out of 6 TVs only one that has been running CNN for 4 weeks is showing burn-in? There's definitely panel variance to this and content matters, brightness and colour.
If the OP is still reading the thread would be interesting to know how big Overwatch player is he.
The type of content is irrelevant, but of course what is being shown on screen is always important. The CNN logo and scroll at the bottom of the screen are far larger than the small hud elements of those games.
Hope more people read Rtings and watch their videos. What you are saying is simply false. There is no correlation with brightness and contrast etc. They had burn in on high brightness as well as low brightness. They specifically said that OLED burn in is unpredictable and old things from plasma era we used to know about burn in doesn't apply here.
