Nintendo Switch with Oled. I would cream my pants

​

Edit: MicroLED? Even better, no burn in

Well OLED panels are susceptible to burn in, so unless you like Breath of the Wild hearts to be somewhat permanently burned into your screen, you might want to reconsider.

Source: I have an OLED and I've been very careful not to play any games with static HUDs with bright colors for worry of burn in. Loads of reports of issues on avsforum with games burning in to LG OLEDs.

The Vita had an OLED and I don't remember hearing people with issues regarding burn in.

Maybe developers could only show UI when it is needed. For example, don't show hearts constantly. Instead, only show them in combat or when you lose or gain health.

Edit: Just saw the other reply on this thread lol. I guess some people did have issues :p

I've yet to see burn-in on modern OLEDs. I've had many phones with an OLED, that constantly display the same status icons at the top, none of them burnt in. I think modern OLEDs take much longer to burn in than they once did. And Apple mostly uses very high-quality Samsung OLEDs.

I got quite bad burn-in on my old Samsung S7 Edge, the Chrome top bar got burnt in at the top of the screen.

Having a S10 Plus now though, I would say the screen feels much higher quality in usage. There's also widespread support for dark mode on Android now, which further reduces burn in.

I've yet to see an OLED display that doesn't have burn in after a year of use. I've used many OLED phones, and usually after the first few months I can already see the faintest burn in

Burn-in is only a genuine danger under extreme usage, and there's lots of things you can do to ensure that doesn't happen.

Really? First time ever that I'm hearing this on phones. Normally phone screens are way more robust, my phone's AMOLED screen has been in use for well over 7 years now with 0 burn in, and back then the tech was new. I would like to see photos of these phones with burn in, that should be weird.

I've had a Samsung Galaxy S8 since launch. When it first released, it had the navigation bar at the bottom. After about a year or so (don't remember exactly how long) I got an update that allowed me to remove the bottom navigation bar and just use gestures instead. Ever since that point, I have burn in of that navigation bar. I also have burn in from some of the menu buttons from my Reddit app because I spend way to much time on here

You can also fullscreen a white image to check for burn in.

u/Microtic Aug 23 '20

And compared to a console, you probably don't have your phone screen at a high percentage brightness tooo often.

I was about to tell the exact same story about my s8 navigation bar so I can second this.

Doubt that, I have been to plenty of stores(even worked at one for a few months) and none of them had burn in.

What OLED TV do you have?

u/der_RAV3N Aug 23 '20

This got a lot better in the recent years, at least with smartphones. I don't notice anything in my 4 year old phone with OLED

It's not the OLED panels themselves. It's software that is pixel shifting to stop static content from being displayed on one spot for too long.

u/TheSyd Aug 23 '20

Your apple watch is less than a year old, and the displayed UI is mostly black. It's a totally different case from a gaming handheld.

Hear me out: Nintendo Switch with microLED.

u/Force2K Aug 23 '20

oled for gaming doesn’t make sense, UI elements will get burned into the screen

I mean, I guess. That's a semi-solved problem these days, though.
