An oled would have been an instant no-buy from me. I like my devices to actually last.
Inb4 “muh modern OLEDs last a long time, its a fixed problem!” - No it isn’t. They last a bit longer than before, but I literally have burn in on a modern OLED that has the “fixes” right now and it drives me nuts.
I haven’t had burn in on an LCD in probably ten years. I leave my PC on for days at a time. TV for hours on a console dashboard. Same with my v1 switch. Zero burn in on any of them. I have one OLED TV that was left on while we went to the store and it’s been permanently fucked.
Im aware of ghosting, but every LCD device I currently own, each with thousands of hours of use, do not have this issue, whereas both my pixel 2xl and my pixel 6 do, with some faint hints on my OLED Steam Deck (I tried to give OLED a third chance). My wife’s name is permanently etched into the top of my 2xl, and my 6 has extreme color fading from where the notification bar is.
Okay, but burn-in DOES happen with normal use on OLEDs (literally have 2, almost 3 screens with it under normal daily use, not leaving it on for prolonged periods)
This feels like the same energy as when people say “Works on my machine!” in a thread where someone else is asking for help with an issue. Dismissive and does not contribute to the conversation aside from an attempt at cementing the poster’s opposition to the idea that there may actually be problems with the technology they’re in love with.
Same, but I’m probably going to play most of the games docked so I can use a big screen anyway. Maybe I’ll splurge on a 4k OLED TV too (assuming I can find one that doesn’t try to be smart).
An LCD screen immediately makes me not want to buy it. Guess I’ll wait for the OLED model to release. What a fucking joke
Lol I’m just buying it to store for future hacks lmao
That’s not a bad idea. Keep that first version forever haha

Never once had OLED burn in, just don’t leave your device with a static screen for hours and hours…?
Do you know what you can leave on a static screen for hours and hours without damage?
An LCD screen.
Not to say that I do that, but many softwares and games have static UI and HUD elements, like healthbars and notifications.
Hate to tell you this but LCDs also can get ghosting (burn in) and they can get it easier than OLED screens.

Dang that sucks. Warranty at all?

Ghosting is caused by a scene or display sitting still over time. It doesn’t just happen with normal use.

That’s crazy. I have all OLED stuff for 7+ years and nothing noticeable at all for ghosting.

Yeah but. I’m explaining how ghosting works to a dead horse apperantly.
