For anyone wondering, 7000 hours is 291 days, or roughly 9 months. You would have to play your switch nonstop for an entire pregnancy for this amount of burnout
That and get a dust cover for when it’s off, people just pay hundreds of dollars to proceed and not care for that object like it’s worth hundreds of dollars
Even after 7000 hours, it's so minimal that I don't think I would even notice it while playing other games... This honestly makes me feel better. I don't think I've ever even logged that many hours on a single portable console. Thank you for your sacrifice, Wulffy!
People don’t seem to understand that the burnout only begins when stuck on a SINGLE FRAME for that long, meaning that if you’re actually playing a game, wherein the frames are constantly changing within FRACTIONS of a second, you will literally NEVER experience pixel burnout. The burnout does not “accumulate” over time with standard play.
that's not the VHS doing that, it's what happens to CRT tv's when you let an image burn into the screen for too long. My dad used to keep telling me to turn off the TV instead of leaving it on pause even though it was a flatscreen because he was so used to that old tech lol.
That's basically burn-in as a general rule, you won't usually notice or it won't happen at all unless you have something static-ish on it, which is why I get annoyed when my housemate keeps leaving my television on and I have to go turn it off every night as he leaves it on the Chromecast with a giant clock in the corner
It's not very good, it's actually incredible. We're on the edge of burn in not being a concern at all. I don't know about the switch, but if you take recent oled monitors or TVs with all the tech inside pixel shift and static image detection etc... Burn in is starting to be ancient history 🙏
It's okay at best. Rtings have been running a similar experiment for some time with LG TVs. Only high contrast logos at maximum brightness (far brighter than the Switch) had caused burn in after this amount of time.
As someone who's CONSIDERING getting an OLED IF they release a beautiful one for LOZ: Tears of the Kingdom (or SOS: A Wonderful Life remake), this was very reassuring! Thank you very much!
Thanks for reminding me that Nintendo does that! I’ve been considering buying another OLED (I had one before and it’s beautiful) but now I definitely want to wait. Would love a Zelda themed Switch.
@@pixelmentia No prob! And right? I mean, I obviously don't know FOR SURE if they will release a Zelda OLED, but MAN, it would be awesome if they did! Really hope it's as beautiful as it deserves to be! lol.
I have had an OLED screen on my phone for the last 5 years. The burn in did eventually happen on both phones... After 2 years... And only for my phone icons on the top right of the screen. It's not visible anywhere else even with a bright white picture on the whole screen. OLEDs should never develop permanent ghosting if you're using your device with any kind of variety. This guy got it right, your OLED is probably gonna be fine.
Well said Bob!!!!! to put it in perspective 7000 hours are 9.58 months approx, nobody is going to have 9 and a half months of the same image 24/7! So people need to chill about burn in :D
LCD's and CRT's had the same issues a long time ago. Now it's almost impossible to get burn in on those screens. OLED's have also gotten much better than the ones we got 10 years ago. In my previous job, I fixed phones and it wasn't uncommon to see something like a Galaxy S3 with the Facebook interface burned into the display.
LCDs never suffered with burn in but CRTs do and still do, but OLEDs in use on things like phones are managed much more than before. Android has loads of protections built in
@@Ed.E Old LCD's did get burn-in, though it's more of an issue with pixels getting stuck in certain positions (And can sometimes be fixed). It's just that the overall technology of LCD is significantly more resistant to this issue. I believe most casts of screen burn-in on modern LCD's is mostly just due to manufacturing defects.
That's pretty good. I bought my 1080p gaming projector in 2013 and barely just now reaching 5000 hours 10 years later. I use it almost every other day. In 10 years we'd already have bought another switch or two just to upgrade internal parts. The OLED burn in is NOT going to be a problem whatsoever for any user.
There’s a burn-in reduction feature on the OLED Switch so they likely knew this was going to be an issue. But it’s a pretty robust screen and I’ve had no issues with the OLED screen at all. Still looks brand new whenever I turn it on, and I have the settings to dim the screen after 30 seconds of no use.
Thank you for doing this for us. Im glad we finally have an update. It is noticeably burnt out now but as you said, we’re not gonna be on the same screen for 7k hours
But you are going to have static elements because games always have huds. Oled is best for movies because it is always moving. So we should still worry about it. Just like how my oled phone, 4 years old, is a little burnt in around the keyboard, the switch will burn in around the homescreen squares and the hud of your favorite games. No way to avoid it. I'm not going to give up my switch for the oled until they upgrade hardware too.
I’m most impressed that it wasn’t burned in more. My brothers and I played each COD on the original LED tvs for a good bit but nowhere close to 7000 hours constantly and we had each mini map burned into the top
7000 hours is my personal equivalent of my combined playtime of both mmo games, Guild Wars 1 and 2, from the year 2008 to the present year of 2023. 😂😂😂😂😂
I have a feeling that people are going to still feel anxienty, when they have there switch screen on the same frame for too long after watching the vid, even if it would probably take thousands of hours.
Me who on my most played game on steam only collectively played around 1,900 hours after several years of playing the game pretty much every afternoon. You would have to play the switch every single day after work or school and then even then you'd have to play it for several hours afterwards and even then you'd have to sit on one scene for those several hours and do this for years to start even getting to the point that it's affecting the switch at all, and not even visibly yet. If anything the battery will start to die before the screen.
I saw many people worrying about this, and I was in the comment of many videos talking about how I’ve been playing Switch games on OLED for as long as the Switch has existed. My LG B7 has over 10,000 hours of run time, and a third to half of that is gaming. Still no signs of burn in. I’ve since upgrade to an LG G1, and the B7 is in a bedroom, and I expect the G1 will do even better given the improvements. OLED burn in concerns are valid, but it takes some sort of extreme situations to really see them.
People had this same issue with Plasma TVs as well, and it was never an issue for me, plus most of the tvs have automatic pixel shifting to prevent burn in as well. Plasmas actually have a longer lifetime than LCD panels too!
IIRC, burn-in was/is really only a problem in specific circumstances. It's gotta be over a long period of time, not necessarily continuous, and that time must be spent on repetitive wear. Like, a screen that stayed on perpetually slowly color shifting through the visible spectrum would not experience burn-in, but a screen that displayed security camera footage from an underground parking garage, where most parts of the scene never change, at all, would eventually start to show problems. IDK how long the process takes, exactly, but it's measured in months and years, to give you a sense of scale.
You can always try to even it out artificially. Get a recording of white noise in native screen resolution if possible, have it run in the "off-time" when the console isn't in use. It should blur it out ideally. It's basically the tech that was used on TVs when it was a big problem at least up until like a decade ago and I worked at tech support for one of the big ones. Rapid color/brightness switching can very often help with both burn-in as well as dead pixels. It's not guaranteed but it's free to try, so.
"You're not going to play that one shot of Breath of the Wild for 7,000 hours." -The man that played that one shot of Breath of the Wild for 7,000 hours
Yaa. Oled burn in is more of a concern on devices like phones, that are more likely to be showing UI elements in exactly the same place at all times during their entire life cycle. Even then however, you can still do a pretty decent job of circumventing burn in by occasionally changing your wallpaper, font, app order, and app icon shape if your device allows it.
One important fact you missed...you wouldn't stay IDLE for 7000 hours...that's what caused the burn in. You were not PLAYING the game you just left it idle so ofc that area of the screen burnt in. If the image was moving then you don't risk it.
In short: You abused the tech and got the outcome you were looking for, does not conclude that OLED suffer from burn ins from normal play (even if it were 7000 hours). As long as the picture is moving you don't risk damaging it. You probably do more damage to your eyes for playing that long and sitting in one position for that long.
this is a test to ensure that the oled screen on the switch is not susceptible to burnout, since many people were insecure about buying one for that very reason.
Impressive tbh. My older generation oled tv would get image retention after just a minute and these days there’s screen burn all over the place. Glad oled is improving
Oled technology is not ready for consumer products yet. Especially if you care about products lasting. Mini leds are absolutely incredible and offer a lot of the same benefits.
Fun fact, blue oleds will be the first to go, they are also bigger than the other leds because blue light is more difficult to produce, also, lowering your brightness will mitigate risks associated with ui elements
this might not be applicable to OLED burnout, but most pixel burnouts can be corrected by displaying flashing white and black close to your device's refresh rate for a few minutes. (60fps for 60hz screens, for example).
This is more likely to occur in areas that are usually ALWAYS filled when idle such as the clock, app/menu tiles, in-game HUDs, ETC. Stuff that would stay on screen a long time. I had this happen with Overwatch on my first OLED TV. The health bar, ult meter, and objective display were extremely noticable after a my 3rd year with the TV. This doesn't happen as often now on newer devices luckily since the technology has been refinied a lot in the few years since.
I can't play the Switch in Handheld while it's charging to reach that many hours. If I'm home, I'll play handheld for a bit, but mostly docked to the TV. When I'm at work, I play handheld, but only get like 1 hour to play with my lunch and breaks. It stays in Sleep Mode when I'm not on until I get home then I turn it off before bed. You have to actually be trying to burn the pixels on the screen for this to happen. Take care of your system and nothing to worry about.
I have a Samsung tablet that was burned in just from playing the same game regularly, very quickly... then I ended up replacing the screen, and it was burned in again within a week. Glad to see OLED screens are improving, because they do look quite nice.
I would get burned out too if I was doing the same thing without sleep for 7000 hours.
fair
But would you get burned in?
@@TheMoris If the sunlight could reach me.

For anyone wondering, 7000 hours is 291 days, or roughly 9 months. You would have to play your switch nonstop for an entire pregnancy for this amount of burnout
I didnt even know if it was even released for that long lol
Also on the image for it to get that much of an uneven burnout
important to note- that level of burnout is only possible if you stay on the same image for that amount of time
And with a game with a permanent HUD that never fades out to burn.

I had this happen with Overwatch on my first OLED TV. The health bar, ult meter, and objective display were extremely noticable after a my 3rd year with the TV.
This doesn't happen as often now on newer devices luckily since the technology has been refinied a lot in the few years since.
Bro just wanted a bathroom break 💀
That's like 5 years of play sessions for me seems good enough
I can't play the Switch in Handheld while it's charging to reach that many hours. If I'm home, I'll play handheld for a bit, but mostly docked to the TV. When I'm at work, I play handheld, but only get like 1 hour to play with my lunch and breaks. It stays in Sleep Mode when I'm not on until I get home then I turn it off before bed. You have to actually be trying to burn the pixels on the screen for this to happen. Take care of your system and nothing to worry about.
WOWW. IT lasted for very long. Build quality is good.
Dang it another charlie escaped the charlieverse
impressive, very nice. Lets see Paul Allens Oled screen handheld.
Thanks needed to see this i was paranoid about that
300 days wtf 🤯 fk the burn out it's amazing it's still running
I have a Samsung tablet that was burned in just from playing the same game regularly, very quickly... then I ended up replacing the screen, and it was burned in again within a week.
Glad to see OLED screens are improving, because they do look quite nice.
