Shield Your OLED: three burn-in safeguards you should enable now

OLED burn-in remains a risk even on newer panels, and Tom's Guide highlights three settings to enable: Pixel Shift (also called Screen Shift), Logo Luminance Adjustment (aka Static Brightness Limiter), and Automatic Pixel Refresher (Panel/Pixel Refresh). Brand names vary, but these options live under Picture/OLED Care or similar menus and either move static content, dim bright logos, or run maintenance refresh cycles to extend panel life. Enable them now to reduce burn-in risk; many of these features run automatically in the background.

"ASUS and MSI Extend OLED Monitor Warranties to Cover Burn-In Issues"

Asus and MSI have updated their warranty coverage for certain OLED monitors to include protection against panel burn-in, a common concern for consumers due to the static elements in gaming that can exacerbate the issue. MSI now offers a three-year burn-in warranty for some of its OLED displays, with specific criteria for claiming against burn-in damage, while Asus has quietly updated its warranties to cover burn-in for two or three years on certain models. These updates bring their OLED coverage more in line with other PC hardware companies like LG, Corsair, and Dell's Alienware sub-brand, providing consumers with additional peace of mind when purchasing these high-cost monitors.

The Decline of OLED Monitor Burn-in Concerns

OLED monitor burn-in, a longstanding concern for users, has been addressed through improvements in OLED materials, software developments, and new testing techniques. While burn-in can still occur on modern OLED monitors, advancements in materials science and physical design changes have made them significantly more resistant to burn-in than in the past. Monitor firmware techniques, such as determining wear levels and compensating for luminance degradation, can help mitigate or hide damage. However, the susceptibility to burn-in varies among monitors, and manufacturers can implement different techniques to combat it. Overall, OLED monitors are now a more reliable investment for users, although some risk of burn-in still exists.
