I'm so glad that we are moving away from screens that will last 20+ years to screens that will be in a landfill after 2 years because of burn in.
I've had mine for two years without burn ins
Yet*
Ever heard of screen savers?
How is a screen saver supposed to do anything to prevent burn in from games that have static images like the UI in an MMO or the scoreboard in a sports game?
On the one hand, I agree with you that the expected lifespan of current OLED tech doesn't align with my expectation of monitor life... But on the other hand, I tend to use my monitors until the backlight gives out or some layer or other in the panel stackup shits the bed, and I haven't yet had an LCD make it past the decade mark.
In my opinion OLED is just fine for phone displays and TVs, which aren't expected to be lit 24/7 and don't have lots of fixed UI elements. Between my WFH job and hobby use, though, my PC screens are on about 10 hours a day on average, with the screen displaying one of a handful of programs with fixed, high contrast user interfaces. That's gonna put an OLED panel through the wringer in quite a bit less time than I have become used to using my LCDs, and that's not acceptable to me.
I think a lot of modern OLED panels will do a pixel shift if they detect a static image for too long. I never notice it on my TV, but might be more noticable on a monitor that you are closer to.
Sure but this is one of the differences between tv and monitor.
RTings does a lot of long term OLED burn in tests usually displaying CNN since red tends to cause burn in better
Here is a pretty recent video on it including some monitors. It's interesting that ultra wide monitors have more problems than regular 16:9 ones.
My TV is OLED and is five years old with zero burn in. It's much less common now unless you're a taxi driver.
My TV
Those are great features to combat burnin and save energy, and no big deal on my TV. However those would be aggravating on a monitor I’m trying to work at, plus most of the monitor is bright
Do you use your tv for work 8+ hours a day with static elements on the screen at all times?
Pixels are dying on my LG OLED TV in under 5 years, that's a common issue, i'm fine with it watching media, but desktop usage use the whole picture and that shit would be thrown out.
I couldn't have been better to the panel.
