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!
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.
