One Year Update - OLED Burn-in Test – RTINGS.com

we are experiencing this on smartphones today. so sad for the consumers

Really appreciate this top-notch work. You approach these tests with good rigor, and I appreciate when you plainly state the limitations of the conclusions you can draw with your tests (as with the 100 TV longevity test).

How many hours of direct led tv life like Sony x80j

So watching CNN will cause damage to your view.

Been using my LG CX as a PC monitor for 3 years now. Most days at 16hrs daily and total hours are at little over 16,000. No Burn In! I'm sure the every 2000 hour pixel refresh helps as well as not having the settings overly bright and forcing everything into dark mode. But it's been great and hopefully stays that way..Knock on wood!

The burn in problem is related to the diffuser and the red pixel interacting with the blue pixel. The green pixel needs to run at bit more density than the others.

I want to know if a scurity system is bad for burn in.

What about HDR content?

I don't understand how OLED monitors are now introduced in the PC market when static content is such an issue. Won't the e.g. Windows taskbar kill every OLED? I am using an LG 38WK95C right now for 7 hours a day since 8600 hours and haven't had a single issue. I am worrying that an upgrade to an OLED would lead to a much short lifespan on a Desktop PC.

Impressive work and attention to detail. Your channel is fast becoming the go to source for product and technology reviews. Well done.

“Running them for 20 hours a day, which doesn’t correspond to anyone’s normal usage.”
Apparently you’ve never met my father.

Quite a few anti-CNN comments. Just curious, where do you all get your news?

Funny how CNN is poison all around

Thank god this was 4 years ago, I have both the LG C2 and Sony A90k 2022 models

Hello IPS, for the next 10 years again !

Lesson learnt: don't watch CNN news... it will BURN your screen after blowing your mind.

It's kinda funny. My dad has the same plasma flatscreen tv from over a decade ago and the picture quality is still amazing. I sold mine for UHD LED but I wish I could still get a plasma again.

Conclusion: folks don't watch CNN. Not only it fries one's brain but also one's telly

I first noticed burn in on my lg c7 that I bought from new around 6 months ago and seeing as I watch various content including sky sports news with multiple static images, I'm quite impressed.

So in what way oleds are intended to use as pc monitor for work pusposes, with all the time white windows taskbar, and static wallpaper, or email app open all day long. Thats why i upgraded to LED panel, even in all other specs oleds were superior, only not as work screen.

These OLED fanatics in the comment section who disregard the negative comments are probably people who have relatively new OLED TVs. I've had my LG C7 OLED 4 years now and have a burn-in in the middle of the screen. We use our TV like a normal family with kids. 5-8 hours per day.

If you watch cnn you deserve burn in

You deserve burn in if you watch CNN

My mums phone has a sign of burn in and is not oled

Good to know my mind isn't the only thing permanently degraded by CNN -_-

This is proof that over time, CNN converts your TV to a liberal and totally ruins it.

It's because of people like you guys that big companies are forced to improve their shitty quality. Thank you so much for what you do!

Still one of the best if not THE best coverage of OLED burn in.

Super test. Thx.

Lol Mr Trump was burnt in to the screen after displaying CNN all that time, since that was basically 99% of their content

I purchased about 4 years ago a LG high end OLED tv. Depending on the color of the scene, we can see the "settings" circles burned into the screen, yet we almost never go to the settings at all. Even 4 years ago I paid about $3,000 for this tv, so obviously we have been very unhappy with this OLED LG tv. Almost ready to go to a high end QLED tv.

nice esp8266 / nodemcu

Don't forget these TVs weren't shut down for months, a simple shutdown per day would have prevented these burnins. It would be great to do a test and turning off one if the TV overnight every night

Amazing videos

Another reason not to watch CNN--as if we needed more reasons not to watch CNN.

My TOP of the range €4200! PHILIPS 65" TV burned in, in 3 years! Watching max 2 hours a day, and only movies. No warranties, be course PHILIPS policy "our TV's have anti burn-in software, so no warranties" After 30 years Philips, no Philips for me...NEVER again!

Never buying an OLED TV, thanks 👌.
I would feel ripped off if I would buy an OLED TV and then have it burn in after only 200 days of use 🤣

Hi RTINGS is that new panel oled burn in test coming soon?

good video

Imagine speding $2k on a TV, hoping to watch news, movies, play games etc for let's say 2/3 years or more and seeing permanent burn-in after just a year! What a shit companies! Thanks for the test. Never gonna buy OLED.

If I play a lot of video games but I play Apex Legends more than any of them, at least 2 hours a day is that likely to cause burn in on the QD S95B? Apex doesn't have a super bright hud but they are fairly static for the health bars, characters and the map when you're in a game.

Unfortunately the pixels of my LG Oled get burned after 2 years of usage

Can we have a video how to add a heatsink to our C1

I apreciate your effort!

los oleds son una mierda, qled es el rey

cnn, msnbc...lol we have a tool/sheep here. sad.

Wanted to buy a LG C1 oled but after some research bought the Samsung Q70A qled and could not be happier. I like the look of oled's but don't have money to replace tv every year or 2

Hello I have a sharp tv I bought 12 plus years ago and I was thinking 🤔 of upgrading .. but the price for thoses tvs is Expensive … 2 3000 plus … I deal with my sharp thanks Excellent video
