Yes, over 2.5 years of heavy use;
Including ~8hrs of spreadsheets and SQL (Mon - Fri), in addition to waaay too many hours of WOW (fixed HUD) than I’d care to admit.
Consider also then, that Wulff Den ran an OLED Switch for 18,000 hours (two years straight) at max brightness, on a relatively “cheap-quality” (his words) panel: YT link
Additional point: My iPhone Xs was my daily driver until 18 months ago, and now has been relegated to a baby monitor duty (static video for ~18hrs a day) and also does not have any burn-in visible. The brightness on it isn’t cranked all the way to 100%, but neither I would your desktop.
LG and Samsung (the key W-OLED & QD-OLED manufacturers) have implemented firmware-level optimisations to ensure that burn-in is minimised, if not outright eliminated in real-world situations. Again, refer to the Wulff Den video for the amount of effort he had to go to in order to cause the burn-in he did.
All I’m advocating for is not taking “the Internet says” as gospel, as a LOT of the OLED information is either outdated or irrelevant (cheaper/seconds OLED panels from tertiary manufacturers who omit maintenance cycles from their firmware).
I wanna use a monitor way longer than that tho
I’m using an LG C1 48in OLED as my primary work/play display (8+ hours use per day), and it has no sign of burn-in.
The general fear over burn-in is over-exaggerated, and the technology has improved leaps and bounds over those early generations.
Oh same, have I only have like 3k hours on mine though
how many years of use tho?
they keep promising OLED is now much better!!1! but every time i buy into an oled phone, it burns in.
It’s a C1; I got it in November ‘21.
This year they’re releasing the C4s, and the C3s are going on heavy discount.
well thats just 3 years now

So you are saying they should give even longer warranty against burn-in? I agree
Especially for $1000
yea seriously, 3 years is nothing.
and it makes no sense to pay more for a screen with better technical characteristics if all of those will be negated with a few years of use.
You still can
