I’m seriously considering an MSI MAG monitor. Do I need to adjust my workflow? I do lots of desktop work on my computer and I really don’t want to hide UI elements. I also do some gaming of course. I’d say it’s 70% desktop work and 30% gaming (though it varies). Do any Lemmings have any experience in this matter? Thank you!
Does your monitor go to sleep when you’re not using it? If so, you’ll be fine
“Paused” still image is not the only occasion where it happens.
I have just bought a used one, and when I did the tests, it showed 5 little hearts of Minecraft along the bottom line - not very strong and no big deal at all for me, but still there.
Just use it to play Minecraft, problem solved lol
The question was “Is it still a problem”. It definitely used to be, but if you buy a new OLED monitor today, you’d have trouble burning without a deliberate effort
Well… No. The previous owner of my monitor was simply playing some Minecraft, among other games (mostly shooters). No deliberate effort, no negligence.
Before we did these burn-in tests together, he even explained proudly all the built-in anti-burn programs and features of the device, and how he did them regularly, and this is actually a real good device that has them all and runs most of them automatically.
Again though, yours was second hand, and OLED monitors very much used to have a burn in problem.
The new ones off the shelf today do not though.
After five minutes, yes.
