    While improvements have been made to management to help they will still all suffer burn in. Use them with any static content and they will show signs of problems within months.

      The burn in claims are grossly exaggerated. A simple pixel refresh that runs automatically when the screen sleeps counters the burn in. Most OLED screens you buy now have a pixel or panel refresh feature.

        Probably all of them have it, I would be surprised if you could turn it off actually.

        The “refresh” just makes the pic more uniform again, the refresh itself is a sort of controlled burn-in.
        Not too long ago OLEDs would lose brightness due to it (especially red brightness iirc?).

        As I stated it’s static content which will cause the most obvious issue, most TVs won’t show that. Refreshing the screen helps mitigate or hide most general damage now.

          Even without pixel refresh, newer OLED panels generally don’t burn-in much, if at all. Still wouldn’t risk skipping the auto refresh, though honestly many of them run it without telling you now when the screen goes into standby. I wouldn’t even know my 2024 Alienware OLED ran it at all without accidentally interrupting it.
