    Hey everyone! A very important notice:
    I am chatting with Rtings about several things right now.
    1. RE:a comment Rtings made on this video, which appears to have been deleted over the weekend of May 13-14. I did not delete the comment, nor did anyone else at DT, as far as I’m aware. I’ll continue to look into it, but near as I can tell, the comment has not been held for review, nor did it violate RUclips’s community guidelines. I am bothered by this a great deal and hope to get to the bottom of it. There’s nothing I can do to bring back the replies to the comment and discussion under the comment itself, but I’ve invited Rtings to repost their comment as a reply to this pinned comment - it’s the best I can do to help the situation, at least in the short term.
    2: I am in active talks with Rtings and we’ll be discussing topics such as wear/time/non-linearity, etc. I am reaching out again to product engineers at Samsung, Sony, and LG to get their input. Along those lines …
    3: There will be a follow-up to this video which incorporates takeaways from chats with Rtings, LG, Samsung, and Sony. I will also address concerns and clarify my stance on a few perspectives, as several comments make it clear some points in my video were very obviously not understood. I’ll try to rectify that.

      9Hrs per day is very nominal usage. All the people I know use their TVs for more than 9hrs a day. Yes they switch between channels and watch different stuff. But 9hrs per day is very minimal. OLED and QD-OLED should easily keep up with that. See TV is not what only one person watches. Multiple people living in the house watch at different times through out the day. So the TV remains on all the time as some one or the other is watching it. Like Parents be watching news and stuff. Then brother or sister be watching some movies or some geeky stuff. Then we watch Sports. The TV remains on for good 12hrs straight. So you tell me why should that not be considered normal usage. Before you say that people should purchase multiple TVs. Nah man there is not enough space or means to hold multiple TVs in a 3bed-room apartments or houses as that would get really cramped easily. So all that should not be a turn down for customers from purchasing an OLED.

    For gamers in particular, an 8 to 12 hour session with a game on a day off and/or when a hotly anticipated new release comes out is not uncommon. That's likely where a lot of the 8+ hour usages comes from. The kicker being that gaming is one of the content consumption forms that is at highest risk of burn in anyway. I still don't foresee it being an issue, the internet is flooded with people that have been abusing the heck out of their LG C1 and LG C2 for 10,000 hours and have no burn in issues to report.

And I use my monitor pretty extensively on my days off work, definitely over 8 hours a day. But I also make sure to have a pitch black lock screen for when I walk away, and turn it off when I leave the house or go to bed so I do little things like that to take care of it.

      LG's WOLEDs are significantly less prone to burn in, and on top of that, LG's pixel refresher and compensation routines seem to work better as well. I wouldn't worry about burn in on LG displays, but I would on QD-OLEDs that have been proven to show much more severe degradation to uniformity.

    All due respect, I do think you underestimate how much the average person uses their main TV. 42" LG C2 OLEDs also seem to be pretty popular to use as high-end computer monitors nowadays and the amount of hours clocked on those is going to be astronomical.
    On a related note, a relative was visiting recently and they watched shows from different networks on HULU. All of them had the network logo in the bottom corner throughout the entirety of the commercial-less episodes. Even outside of sports and the news, lots of programming has static logos. My typical use case for my 65" C2 OLED is moderate gaming sessions (2-4 hours at a clip, maybe 3 times per week, not always with the same UI) and movie watching. I feel like as long as I'm conscious about not abusing the panel by leaving static logos or UI elements on screen for hours and hours repeatedly, I should be fine. Still loving the C2 OLED.
    Thanks for all you do and for weighing in on such a sensitive issue among OLED owners.

      There are those of us out there using our TV primarily as a computer monitor and having the screen on for 8-9 (or more) hours per day is in no way unusual. I killed my 2019 LG C2 (my first OLED TV) by allowing my taskbar to stay unhidden, generally and by leaving the screen on during one specific 7-hour download session. In (meager) defense, I'll say - I simply didn't know about the possibility of burn-in that first time. I gave in, winter of '22 and replaced it with a 77" LG G2 and now I'm fanatical about taskbars, banners and downloads. I try and turn the screen off when possible and run a very very varied Slideshow - timed to change every 1 minute - as desktop background. So far, so good.

      Instead, I will use it as a regular TV for TV/movies/RUclips. I have a pretty good setup with 2 x 32" 4k Samsung LCD at my computer and that is plenty good enough for workspace and gaming.
      In some years it will be displays that do what we need at amazing quality. It does not seem microled will be affordable this decade, but something else will surely be nearly as good.

      @Balie78 Год назад +19

      It's not just "use" in general. It is use with static images. As Caleb rightfully points out, the worst offenders are news and sports tickers. So if you watch your news channel 8-9 hours per day, every day, that is risky for an OLED. If you watch streamers like Netflix, Amazon Prime, AppleTV, or Disney+ for even 12 hours a day, I think you would not experience any issues as, unlike network TV, they don't even use station IDs/logos in the corner, so the content will have different pixels lighting up almost every other frame.

    9hrs of continuous use is possible in my household. Some wet weekend and some days during the school holiday for example. My youngest could be watch his programmes from 6am, switching to gaming in the mid morning. My eldest could then take over the tv from anytime after lunch and my wife could watch a programme or 2 in the late afternoon. So it happens. We’ve had an LGC8 for about 5 years with no burn in issues but we did have a stuck pixel which meant a panels replacement after the fist year. We also vary the content. We now have a G2 so hoping for similar trouble free viewing.

    I don’t own a QD OLED - so I’m not weighing in on that but I do want to weigh in on hours of use. I’m retired and my TV is on 7 days a week from 6:30am almost continuously until 9pm. I use my tv as background noise like many people have their radio or streaming music source on all day. So 9 hours of use seems reasonable to me for many people. I also note I have 4K Hisense QD ULed Tv that pops up a screen saver after a minute on pause and later “go to sleep” if I don’t go back to live programming and I don’t watch much live news weather or sports or game where there are one or more static elements. But I can see how people who do watch this type of programming and/or enjoy gaming could have their TV’s on for 9 hours a day much of it with static elements potentially causing burn in. A lot of young, middle aged and elderly folks live alone and their TV is on a lot - filling the void.

    One thing that I've always found to be true about TV manufacturers...If you want to know the truth about a TV, just wait a year. The manufacturer will spill the beans about the old model when promoting how much better the new one is! The following quote is from Samsung regarding the increased durability of the new 2023 models:
    "Our 2023 model is built to last. It’s now twice as durable as our award-winning QD-OLED displays from last year. "
    Read into this what you will. But it says to me that Samsung knows that the 2022 QD-OLED TVs have durability issues directly relating to the burn-in problem reported by many. I guess the 2022 wasn't "Built to last" if they list it as an improvement on this year's TV!

It was a very expensive TV and I bought insurance and neither the Manufacturer nor the insurance help on the subject of burn in. Watching you videos I was leed to believe burn in is a bygoen era problem and new TVs dont have that problem any more. Ah but they do very much still have burn in problems. I was nearly going to purchase a new OLED feeling better about burn in after watching you video. SO I went to Best Buys and it was a slow night so I had alot of time to talk to their rep. The Long and short of the visit, he had two LG Oleds running different sizes. And lo and behold they both had burn in problems One TV was a little older than a year the other was seven months old, they both had burn in and there was no static image rather what can almost be discribed as screen save images. So I cal BS on you and Digital Trends. Tell the people the truth!

    Love your coverage of this topic. I have a 5-year old LG OLED which has been deteriorating rapidly over the last year. Now, when a mostly full-screen yellow background is displayed (e.g Liberty Insurance commercial), there is a large oval area center screen that is more green than yellow and the lower right corner the same. Less noticeable under other content. I am retired, so the TV is on more than 8 hours a day and the channels we watch (not cable news) for whatever reason seem to love to display a static program logo or program teaser in the lower right corner. This has caused the lower right corner of the screen to become visibly darker and cloudy. I'd love to try avoiding the static content these channels display but it's impossible to avoid and still watch TV. I feel like 5 years is an awfully short time to see a top-tier expensive TV deteriorate. I do have the TV automatically run its pixel refresher and I even run it manually occasionally. Has it helped? Who knows. No way to measure / assess that. I made the decision to switch to the new Neo QLED in hopes of avoiding the need to replace a TV every 5 years. I may not be as discerning viewer as some videophiles, but in my opinion the Neo QLED is just as clear and has awesome contrast and black levels as the OLED. But then it may be that I'm comparing a NEW QLED to an older, deteriorating OLED, so the comparison may be unfair. Anyway, I'm happy I switched to LCD technology. It really has come a long way in the last few years.

    Hi Caleb. Another great video. I have one question though. What do you think would be the impact of room temperature on the possibility of burn-ins. For example, where I live, in summers the temperature gets as high as 45 Degrees Celsius and the normal temperature indoors remains between 26 and 32 Degrees Celsius.
    So, do you think that because of the high temperature the possibility of burn-in increases, and would keeping the temperature lower decrease that possibility ?

    I was trying to come up with another analogy. Maybe thinking about the "organic" part of OLED in the same way people are. If you apply that to say repettitve stress injuries, doing the same thing over and over for hours a day is going to cause more wear and tear and can create a lasting issue. OLEDs like people need breaks and varying activities to even things out and give those overworked areas a break to recover.

Also I intend to get an C2 or even a C3 as a TV for PS5 games and movies/tv shows for my holiday/weekend appartement.

    Should I be worried that both of them will develop burn in in under 3 years ?

    Our old (12+ year) 50" plasma has been used very hard for a good number of years. It typically comes on about 6-7am and may not go off until 2am. It does suffer from some burn in but it has pixel orbiter and a screen wipe which runs for 15 minutes. I created a slideshow on a USB stick that runs solid RBG and white full screen with varying percentages (I think 4 each). I used a fade out slide show that wipes with small blocks. I can run that as long as I want. That typically does a good job cleaning up the screen.

    I do see a few scenarios where a TV is used for long periods. Some folks with young kids have a TV on for a lot of the day, whether it be used for background noise or active watching of edutainment or cartoons. If that's in the living room, It will most likely continue to be used, possibly even for "critical viewing" of movies or other stuff when the family's daily tasks wind down.
    There's also people who binge watch shows often, or the whole meme of people falling asleep to a show every night (The Office US in most references); I do think in these cases though, don't bother with an OLED.
    And of course "hardcore gamers" that are a prime target of this tech since it's new and offers high refresh rates with better response times. Gaming sessions, especially multiplayer can get excessively long, especially when you're young and unresponsible 😁

      You’re restricting yourself by choice. TVs are meant to be used. One thing you have to realize is that technology has advanced so much throughout the years. Burn-In is a thing in the past, most modern OLED displays do a very good job at handling burn in due to the tech built into them. Unlike how it was years ago, these days you’d REALLY and i mean REALLY have to abuse your OLED to be at risk of getting Burn-In. On top of that, you’ll most likely be switching contents around such as Movies/Shows, playing different games, so realistically you have nothing to worry about whatsoever. But remember, burn-in can still happen to this day, just not as common as it once was. Get yourself an OLED and I promise you won’t look back to those LED/LCD. The fear of burn-in is in the past my man. If it makes you feel better, get a Best-Buy warranty whether if it’s 2yrs or 5yrs to have a peace of mind.

    I can share from experience that burn in isn't the worst part of OLED panels. Even when burn-in happens, it's almost never noticeable in real world content. What's worse is that red and to a lesser extent, green pixels degrade before blue pixels. Humidity dramatically accelerates degradation. Channel degredation results in extremely inaccurate color. Human faces have a green tint and look like they just vomited. It's easy to find happy OLED owners after 2/3 years. I can say I don't know anyone whose OLED didn't seriously degrade by year 6. LG now have over a decade of hard data on real world durability. I'm sure they would be proud and even pushy to share that data with influencers like you if it indicated that their OLED TVs could be expected to last more than 5 or even up to 10 years. Instead of demonstrating that it's not a problem with hard data, every year there is some new feature that promises to prevent burn in. Ask around for people who have B/C/E/G series 6/7/8 year TVs. Extrapolating from the tiny sample of about 5 people I know and myself, I can't imagine the results would be good.

    I'm still using a plasma TV on a regular basis that has mild burn-in. It isn't anything that's sharply defined (such as the ghost image of a logo or chyron) instead it resembles shadowy areas of "dirty screen effect" that I don't actually notice with most screen content. However, I admit that when I DO become aware of the smudginess it bugs me. Even so, I feel confident that when I replace this plasma TV with a QD-OLED or WOLED model I will know how to avoid burn-in on the new TV. I'd also love to replace my IPS desktop monitor with an OLED display but I worry that no matter how cautiously I try to use an OLED monitor I would almost certainly generate burn-in, which would bother me a lot. I'll probably stick with an LCD display for monitor use.

    When I am at home from work I can easily put 12+ hours on my TV and it's only turned off if I take a dump or make some food.
    Playing a game intently or having watched a movie or show and then playing a game. Not hard to have 8-9 hours of it being on.
    All that said, the fact of the matter is the S95B that has the same immediate compensation cycle as LG OLED does showed burn in after a 2 month test. This is about 1200 hours worth.
    That is about 6 months worth of TV watching for an average user that actually USE their OLED.
    That is a bad sign. Sure it's the CNN and the banners and supposedly 4 hours worth a day. But even though that might seem excessive CNN is it though in the sense that if a person watched CNN for 1 hour a day and not 4, lets say they watch a specific prime time show. That just means instead of burn in in 6 months they would have it at 18-24 months. That is UNACCEPTABLE on all levels.
    You should expect to have a TV functioning without flaws like that for just 1 1/2 year usage. Imagine watching football or watch other news shows. Many have banners and tickers.
    The LG OLED didn't show any hint of burn in even at the 4 month mark which is twice as long after the S95B already showed burn in.
    I do not trust QD-OLED, it seems way to easy. That said yes their Gen2 panels are supposedly better but what does that mean then? Instead of 6 months you get burn in at 12 months.
    Nope. I rather not bother. OLED for me would be best served as a dedicated movie TV that you don't use on an average daily basis meaning several hours a day. But more dedicated for aforementioned.

    As the owner of a LG 60" plasma TV since 2011 who's considering an upgrade to a larger 4K display, OLED is definitely on my radar. As for the 9hr test I can see that being reasonable as if you're a sports fan then NFL Sunday can be a very long time the TV is on. Likewise for Hockey Day in Canada which occasionally happens during an NHL season. I've had very good use out of this plasma and wish 4K was available as it's contrast and viewing angles are superior to LCD. Burn in has never really been an issue but my use case might not be typical. Cable/Satellite broadcasts are mainly sports so even tho there might be score tickers on screen, commercial breaks switch it up. I do also have a Home Theatre PC hooked up which displays static content on it sometimes for hours (Windows taskbar set to autohide) such as RUclips with the browser bar on top and selection of other videos off to the side. Sometimes a faint ghost image is visible after such use but simply switching to a wallpaper slideshow or other content for a short time will fix it. I have gamed on it for hours at a time with onscreen HUD, etc. but this is now rare as I have another more powerful PC and 21:9 setup for that. It might also stay off for several days. I view in a light controlled environment so screen glare will not be a factor so no need to consider the higher brightness of LCD vs OLED, something you didn't mention when talking about driving the TV hard - if you've got a room with a lot of windows/light you'll probably be better off with LCD. OLED is starting to look more promising as it matures and these 2 videos have been good without all the details which can be easily researched if desired. Thumbs up.

    This may not be entirely common, but there are a lot of people in the US that leave their TVs on all day, often on some sort of news channel, even when they leave the room. I've found it especially common with older generations who were used to just having a CRT television going in the family room, where they'll often leave something like CNN or ABC News etc. on all day without a care in the world. Again, maybe not the majority of current OLED buyers, but it's definitely not an uncommon occurrence, so the TV should definitely be designed with this type of use in mind, or at least as a consideration.

We have an LCD monitor that is probably close to (or over) 20 years old and still works just fine. Nah if I wan't an HDR monitor I'll probably buy a good LCD one instead. If a reasonably priced decent LCD 21:9 HDR monitor will ever exist. Seems like if you buy an OLED monitor you should expect to replace it as freqently as you replace your GPU. In other words you need to be rich.

    It depends. Sometimes my plasma is on for more than 8 hours, other times it's on for 0 hours. So yeah, I think it's fair to test for such a long time.
    I thought LG is using larger pixels, thus while they need to get much higher brightness from the OLED pixels because of the filters, they are also spreading the load out better than Samsung does. Thus in the end Samsung is driving the pixels harder.
    Also, I was of the assumption that LG is using blue as well, just that they add some sort of phosphor or so in order to turn that into white, which they then can filter.
    Btw., the plasma has (after 12 years) some pretty noticeable image retention, however that goes away after regular use. As for actual burn in, I'd say there is none. Maybe the area of subtitles is slightly darker, but that's it.

    The question is - when it happens what can be done about it? I have an LG OLED48CX6LB 48, which I bought on 18 June 2020 - so coming up to 4x years old this June 2024. I've got 2x parallel shadow lines across the bottom of the screen exactly where the 'ticker tape' captions go on news and sports news programmes. I've tried the advice from LG (who dispute it is burn in), switch off TV, change HDMI inputs, refresh the pixels etc. Still there. And once you can see them, you can't 'unsee' them. Any advice on here?

    Watching this video on my S95B hoping i dont see burn in any time soon.
    Also, as someone whos quite tech literate and aware of the concept of 'burn in', i tend to baby my TV a bit and avoid content which has static elements or reduce brightness.
    However, I think this is also partly because this tv is (relatively) new. In a few months, ill probably get bored of doing this and choose to enjoy my tv the way I want to. With reckless abandon.
    Fun fact: I owned a KS8000 before this and only switched it out because it too, also burnt in after 6 years. 😂🤷‍♂️ By that measure, I cant win with LED or QD:OLED.

    I've had a LG CX 65 for over 2 years now. I game a LOT...if a hot new boi comes out, 6-9 hours a day is the norm. But I always make sure the TV is in some sort of energy saving mode to reduce brightness; always have the OLED brightness settings at like 65, and always use the "screen off" feature for small breaks where I don't need to power off. I obviously have the screen shift and logo luminance adjust settings maxed out and a very short timer for standby mode.
    Not even a glimmer of burn in to be seen.
    I had a LG B8 55 before that, one pixel froze to a blue color after about 15 months, thats why I upgraded to the CX, but again; never experienced burn in.
    I just bought the Alienware QD OLED 34, and don't foresee any problems here either due to companies extreme countermeasures; even though it's much brighter. Not to mention the Alienware has a 3 year warranty specifically mentioning burn in, so I'm really not worried.
    Beautiful videos as always.

    My Sony Master Series 77" OLED easily gets 9+ hours of continuous on use most every day; and has for about two years. It replaced a Pioneer Kuro Elite Signature PLAMSA that lasted over a decade and was only replaced due to being 1080P and a known power bug that appeared late in life. NEITHER set has ever shown any burn-in. That said the sets watch little to no news or sports content so very little logos in the same area for hours either daily or cumulatively.

    I wouldn't worry about it, lg OLED from my experience with the b7, they all have this setting called quick start plus turned on by default, what that does is put the TV in a standby mode and run a mild pixel refresh after every 4 hours of use when you turn it off. I've had my b7 since October 31st 2017 and haven't had any problems with long term retention and I play a lot of video games on it, yellow can stick for a little bit but fades quick, other than that, no big issues. It is an older model so I'm sure they're less sensitive to things like this now. Another thing you can do to minimize it is when you take a break or quit gaming for the night is put it on cable tv for a while just to keep things moving, I know Xbox has a dimming feature after staying idle but, just some precautions I've taken over the years just to be safe

    9 hours with kids from different age groups definitely. Especially on a weekend. elementary school kids 2-3 hours watching their shows, teen comes in plays games for another 2-3 hours. You get home from work and watch the news for an hour. Then you watch a 2 hour movie. I'm pretty sure a family with at least 2 children will put 9 hours on a tv no problem.

    That poll basically showed that nearly 50% have their TV on for more than 4 hours per day. And that means a big chunk basically have it 6-8 hours and some even more.
    All the people that have an OLED that say "I don't have burn in" and you ask how many hours they have. They have like 1200 - 2000 hours in a year. Meaning they don't use it a lot.

    9 hours of daily usage is not unrealistic. Some people turn on the TV they get home from work, and it's on the entire evening, 5-6 hours, and perhaps on weekends the TV could be on from morning till midnight, kids using in during morning and then adults during evening. I often use my TV to play music for hours using Spotify, that means the same static image is displayed.

    I think that your point is the assumption that the acceleration is a linear graph which could be true but i think that can be tested that assumption too. 2 hour use for 10 days or 10 hours use for 2 days. Do they yield the same result?

    Yep! I doubt that the accelerated testing that they have in place is representative of the results compared to more typical longer term use. With these organic materials we just don’t know yet if wear is a linear relationship to time. Wear vs time is likely a nonlinear relationship and the only way to really figure it out is to have historic data that ranges from short term to long term use. Then you have to take that historic data, map it to a curve, and use that curve for predicting performance. The issues with this is that it takes time to do and any curves developed are going to be specific to the materials and the energy applied to them of which can change from year-to-year, and model-to-model. The testing that Rtings is doing must have the caveat that it is for extreme use cases and not necessarily predictive of normal use, let alone lower-use cases. Bottom line is to try and limit the kinds of use (tickers, heads-up displays, HDR for status menus, etc.) that typically raise burn-in potential…or just go LED 🙂
