Burn in on Oled tv

Posted: 4/25/2021 10:08:00 AM EDT

Has anyone experienced burn in on their Oled tv? I am in need of a new tv and it's down to Samsung Qled r LG Oled. We are two old people who do not game just watch movies etc. Don't want to spend over a grand and have a shitty image always sitting in the active screen. Nothing over a 50 incher since the area for the tv will only allow up to that size.

My Sony A9G is going on 2 years old, no issues.

OLED is subject to persistence, just like plasmas were. Even LCD's can suffer from persistence, but not nearly to the degree that plasmas were.

'Burn-in' (a misnomer) was a problem with CRTs. It could not be reversed because the phosphors were damaged. Persistence can be reversed unless the pixel elements themselves are damaged. Leaving a static image on them does not do that.

Replacing the LED strips isn't a huge job, if they are the problem. You'll probably need help lifting off the glass and panel to get to them.

The only way I'd expect a problem is if you always have it on watching something with a chiron or scrolling news ticker.

I have a 55” and 65” LG OLED since 2018. Never had any issues with burn in. LG does several things to prevent burning with automatic screen savers, pixel shifting, and logo de-brightening. OLED burn in can typically be reversed over time as well if you some how manage to get it.

If you read on avsforums, it is extremely hard to get burn in through normal viewing. I honestly never think about it since the screen saver comes on after a while when the screen doesn’t update (app frozen, content paused, menu left on accidentally).

OLED doesn't have LED strips.

Something you can try for light screen burn on an oled or old plasma is broadcasting a screen full of static for 24 hours straight. I've done this on several plamas in the past. By static I mean the signal when a TV station used to be off air or a cable chanel was unavailable. If you have a means to do this it may work.

No issues with my LG oled. It has a mode you can use to remove any persistent images, but I have never needed it. I would go for a lg or sony oled over a samsung.

Just bought a LG 77" OLED. I read a lot and was confident that with the methods that LG has put into place that image burn could be minimized. I use an xbox to provide the video and have it set to turn off after it is in standby for a few minutes and then the TV's screensaver turns on for a little while longer and then it turns off as well.

eta: The image is phenomenal compared to the LCD it replaced.

Where are these LED strips that are easy to replace in an OLED screen?
