18 months of OLED testing show burn-in worries might be over

The article discusses the results of an 18-month long burn-in torture test conducted on an OLED monitor. The key points are: 1. The test showed visible but minimal burn-in, including a persistent, dark taskbar, which is common for Windows 11 users. 2. The burn-in is noticeable when specifically looking for it, but not distracting in normal use, especially compared to older OLED TVs. 3. The burn-in is worse than what would be seen on an LCD panel, but not significant enough to prevent the author from buying an OLED monitor, especially for gaming or media use. 4. The author notes that some dark-hued apps and video did start to show burn-in, so it is something to be aware of for productivity tasks, and using the monitor's cleaning cycles is recommended. 5. Many gaming OLED monitors now come with extended warranty protection for burn-in. Overall, the article suggests that burn-in concerns for modern OLED monitors may be overblown, but caution is still warranted, especially for productivity use.
