Burn-in is still a problem, though. For actual television - not an issue, unless you leave CNN on all day every day. (What, do you live in an airport?) For a computer display... yeah, that's gonna show up.
cries But you know having children helps - you have a lot less time for hobbies
When your hobby overlaps with your job and you still enjoy both :(
In terms of the study? Clearly it was long enough to experience quite a bit of failure.
In terms of those 20% of devices? I'm in complete agreement.
Well given you should sleep at least 1/3 of a day you would still get 600 days out of an abhorred abuse of your time
10.000 hours is 416 days.
Not exactly super IMO.
WTF they think I'll buy a new one every year ?
I have an Alienware OLED (AW3423DW). I've been using it for almost a year now. I use it for ~13h a day, for work, gaming and media (YT, TV shows, movies). I have HDR enabled in Windows and I use the monitor in HDR1000 mode.
I left the taskbar on for a few months and it got burnt in. I also got burn-in from watching content that is in 16:9 ratio (the monitor is 21:9). The monitor also got a defect, in the form of a thick line that is brighter that anything else that runs across half the top of the monitor left to right.
Despite this experience I would still buy OLED because IMO the brightness and colors are worth it but I also warn everyone that they WILL get burn-in if they want to use it to its full potential and all day long.
OLEDs are not there yet. Maybe in a few years or decades we'll get actual burn-in proof OLEDs
worst possible scenario effectively trying to burn in the screen
calibrated to 200 nits brightness
Wut?
At that there shouldn't be any sort of burn-ins ever.
(That monitor can do '250 nits full screen, 1,000 nits max HDR')
(Also just 8 hours per day, dark taskbar (the only static thing in his case), monitor goes to slep after 2 hours of inactivity.)
This doesn't help my use-case at all :(.
It's not a stress test by any measure, the only "extreme" thing he is doing to it is "not allowing it to go to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity".
almost a non-issue
tl;dr there's still burn-in but it's supposedly not very noticeable until you use the device for > 5 years
