After 15 months and 3,800 hours of 'worst case' usage, one independent test finds OLED burn-in is now almost a non-issue

Jump

  • I have an Alienware OLED (AW3423DW). I've been using it for almost a year now. I use it for ~13h a day, for work, gaming and media (YT, TV shows, movies). I have HDR enabled in Windows and I use the monitor in HDR1000 mode.

    I left the taskbar on for a few months and it got burnt in. I also got burn-in from watching content that is in 16:9 ratio (the monitor is 21:9). The monitor also got a defect, in the form of a thick line that is brighter that anything else that runs across half the top of the monitor left to right.

    Despite this experience I would still buy OLED because IMO the brightness and colors are worth it but I also warn everyone that they WILL get burn-in if they want to use it to its full potential and all day long.

    OLEDs are not there yet. Maybe in a few years or decades we'll get actual burn-in proof OLEDs

  • Few months ago I saw one of them driving around in a McLaren, so unfortunately they don’t seem to be that affected by the legal stuff.
