I’m using an LG C1 48in OLED as my primary work/play display (8+ hours use per day), and it has no sign of burn-in.
The general fear over burn-in is over-exaggerated, and the technology has improved leaps and bounds over those early generations.
Oh same, have I only have like 3k hours on mine though
So you are saying they should give even longer warranty against burn-in? I agree
Especially for $1000
You still can
Who is buying a $1399 monitor and only planning on using it for 3 years outside of a really small group of people?
Do you stop using items as soon as their warranty is up?
No but OLED burn-in is something that is going happen from use, it's not a 'maybe it'll fail in 5 years' like an LCD monitor would be.
Plenty of people have OLED TVs that last longer than that, depends on the use case.
My laptop has an OLED screen and I'm pretty sure it's older than 5yo now. No burn in. No dead pixels
I've been using an OLED as my primary monitor every day for three years now; the burn-in issues are greatly exaggerated. Not a single sign of burn-in, and I even disabled some of the protective features in the service menu to get a brighter picture. Modern panels are very good at mitigating the issue.
How is it guaranteed unless you played the same game with the same HUD without variation and just started at the three year mark.
If you vary contenr, use screensavers and use HUD settings for OLED you shoukd be ok
I've been using an oled as a monitor for 3 years and there's no visible burn in yet, I'm not too worried about it. I'm sure even when it starts it'll be way better than ips glow.
Burn in is always overblown my 2009 plasma is still awesome aswell
Yeah no thanks. Three years is too short.
I'll wait for a good replacement for LCD (uled) because OLED was never it.
Agreed. My last LCD has lasted me over 10 years (1080p ultra wide). I only upgraded because my roommate got a new display and didn’t need his old one.
This just sounds like it’ll generate e-waste.
