OLED Burn-in : 6 Month Update

Today I am sharing my burn-in experience using an OLED monitor as my main display for the last 6 months. I use the ASUS PG32UCDP for both work and gaming and in this video I'll share my settings, and what burn in i have experienced.

In the color tests, the dot in the screen is my mouse cursor, not a stuck pixel 😅 Subscribe if you find this content useful!!

Wallpaper engine with a moving wallpaper as screensaver has prevented burn in for me completely. It's never static for longer than 5 minutes and if I forget to turn things off when I leave the house, the Screensaver turns off wich saves me. Use a moving wallpaper + Screensaver for your OLED.

from the first couple of clips you can already see, that monitor looks like it's made out of paint, the colors pop out so much, and they're so sharp, beyond beautiful

For oleds i recommend being rich. By rich i mean rich enough that if this thing breaks you can comfortably replace it.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Great video!

Oled users be like: My screen is two months old and there is no burn in!

Idk about monitors - but my uncle has been using an OLED TV from 2015. He paid $10K for it - 55 inch curved flagship OLED from LG. He watches tons of news and sports on it - almost exclusively news and sports. I did the burn in test on that and there was no sign of burn in last week! That’s in 2024!

Ever since then - I’ve been using my C2 and Alienware excessively without babying it anymore

As long as you don’t have the same image on the screen for hours and hours and hours at a time oled can last years and years

The problem is that most people buy monitors hoping that they would last for 5-10 years. Especially when you buy a high-end monitor. Personally I am a guy whole loves using static wallpapers and I need to see the taskbar as well. Worrying about a burn-in in this case is just a nightmare... I leave my IPS monitors active for a long time. They turn off after 30 mintues and it feels great not to worry about that.

Panel manufacturers were hardly making money, cus lack of higher resolution content and hardware was not enough to keep that up, so they decided to bring a new feature to the market: oled, looks crips, better image quality, faster etc. but it wasn't idea, general reason why manufacturers come with idea, it because they could sell their panel every in 3 to 5 years, if monitor does not long over 10 years without having any issue, its downside for me no matter how it looks good.

i have an lg 48" monitor for a year now i do play everyday for 4 to 6 hours a day, i play online competitive, RPGs, i watch a lot of movies, youtube and i havent seen any burn in, at first i was scared but LG and their screen care made me lose that fear, just enjoy your monitor without fear

I have an LG C3 with 5500+ hours using pretty much all day for both work and entertainment. No signs of burn in, I don't use OLED care features or hide taskbars, etc other than a pixel clean every now and then.

Good to hear these things don’t burn in so quickly.

got burn in after one year on the alienware AW3423DWF but kind of defuse, it's less noticeable than if it was just in one area and I see it only on full grey screen (like xbox interface), still not really ok with that, because I made everything I can to prevent this (run maintenance program every 4h, fast sleep transitions, hide icon bar, turn the pc on sleep mode every time I go away), I kind of think that burn in can still be better than all the issue you can have with LED panel compare to OLED, but I believe we should wait for less burnable screen if we want to use OLED with pc and windows that seems really made to burn your screen as fast as possible

We need a 1 year update and 3 year updates really. In 6 month and using well, any OLED will do fine ❤

My 2 weeks old PG32UCDP has the firmware MCM105 installed which is not available on the ASUS website.
The Screen Saver function in the OLED Care menu is currently broken in MCM103 and MCM105.
In SDR it only dims the edges and they stay dimmed for ever. If HDR is enabled the function seems to work. So for now the best option is to have it disabled anyway.
I reported that to ASUS and they replied that will fix it in an upcoming FW update.

OLED owner of a few months here as well. I fairly immediately turned on screensaver as well (Mystify), but frankly it's disappointingly incomplete solution. It turns out there's a LOT of ways for various applications (like a browser displaying video) to simply prevent Windows (10 at least) from activating the screensaver. I use a KVM software when working from home, and that damn thing does it as well! (you can check this by typing powercfg -requests in command prompt, and see if any process is holding up the Display). Basically, if I forget the KVM software on after finishing work or leave a youtube browser open, I'm gonna come back to the exact static I image I left on even hours later. I wish there was some, even 3rd party, solution of FORCING the goddamn screensaver to go on, no matter what.
That said I haven't noticed any burn in either yet so I guess I just gotta be more careful about the screensaver.

Burn-in isnt't nearly as much of an issue as color fade is. I have completely given up on OLED after multiple panels suffering from color fade after a few years. Granted, they get used a lot (10+ hours daily) but still. It's the best picture but I'm not buying a new panel every 4-5 years.

[あなた以外の誰でもない]

the thing with OLED is, the higher the brightness and color vibrance/saturation, the faster it'll degrade. so u're doing amazing job by using black wallpaper

I bought the pg27aqdm 1 year ago. I don't know if it's a problem with my panel but when I look at yt and the screen around it is grey I see vertical lines. I really hope it's not burn-in.
