What is OLED Burn-in?

OLED uses organic light-emitting diodes that decay over time. Permanent burn-in happens when static UI elements (like taskbars or news tickers) cause uneven pixel wear.

The 5% Gray Test

This is the industry standard for OLED uniformity. It helps you see "Vertical Banding" or streaks that are only visible in dark scenes or movies.

Pixel Refresh Pattern

Our dynamic refresh pattern uses moving colors to help "exercise" pixels and potentially reduce temporary image retention (Ghosting).

This high-precision tool maximizes individual color channels to detect premature aging on LG, Sony, and Samsung displays. It is safe for all panels and requires no installation.

OLED vs. LED: Why Burn-in?

OLED is self-emissive, meaning every pixel is its own light source. Because these pixels are organic, they have a limited lifespan. **Burn-in** occurs when certain pixels lose brightness faster than others due to static icons (like HUDs or desktop icons). Our tool helps you identify this "Differential Aging" early in its lifecycle.

How to Prevent Permanent Image Retention?

  • Autohide Taskbar: Permanent icons are the #1 cause of OLED wear in Windows and Mac.
  • Varied Content: Avoid leaving your browser open on the same website for 8 hours a day.
  • Brightness Caps: Running at 100% brightness is rarely needed and accelerates pixel decay. Try 50-70% for normal use.

What to do if you find Burn-In?

First, don't panic. Many OLED panels have a feature called "Pixel Refresh" or "Screen Move" in the settings. Running our **Pixel Refresh Pattern** for 30 minutes can often "reset" temporary retention. If the image is truly permanent, it may be time for a warranty claim—use our solid colors as photo evidence for support.
