Burn-in is the one big worry with OLED monitors. But evidence that it shouldn’t be a dealer breaker for gamers is approaching critical mass thanks to another long-term assessment released today.
YouTube channel Optimum has been using a 32-inch 4K LG WOLED monitor for around 3,000 hours over two years and has found only minor burn-in. This is a particularly handy metric given that one of the best known existing trackers of OLED burn-in by Monitors Unboxed has been based on a monitor with a Samsung QD-OLED panel. Now we have something similar for LG WOLED.
I get inquiries for TV repair, though I don’t take them in because they take up too much space.
Just like monitor repair, the inquiries usually boil down to a cracked panel or a power on issue. Rest would be backlight, followed by miscellaneous “weird stuff” as the edge cases.
I can’t actually remember the last time I even saw a stuck or dead pixel, laptops with LCD panels make up the overwhelming majority of devices that I service.
Can’t say my experience aligns with your claims, and OLED displays have not been in widespread use long enough to be able to make a realistic comparison of longevity.
