OLED TV - Permanent image retention

[cs2011]

My Sony LCD TV is over 7 years old and I am looking to replace it soon. The picture performance of OLED is very good, but I am concerned about screen burn (permanent imge retention) when viewing any sort of static content, such as channel logos or news banners.

Rtings are currently conducting a long term test and the screen burn starts to appear after just 4 weeks. It is quite a severe test as it is almost continuous, and they found the cleaning cycles did not help.

Any real world experience of this ?

I have owned 4 Oled TVs now and not had any problems. They are fantastic to be honest. Just play it safe and take precautions and you should be fine.

I can not comment on oled TVs but LCD TVs do not get screen burn-in so they say

Why did you already have 4 (four!) OLED tv's?

One was just full HD, the next wasn’t very good with 4K being first gen, the next was excellent and the fourth was a bargain. Four

That makes sense ;-)

You rarely kept any of them long enough for screen burn to be an issue. Heck, I bet you didn't even have to dust most of 'em *biggrin*

You shouldn’t have to “play it safe”! When you buy a TV, you shouldn’t have to be selective about the programmes you watch and the timing of those programmes in order to stop screen burn. Manufacturers should be responsible for screen burn, as it’s a negative product of their technology.

I was meaning gaming too but I know what you mean.

And leaving the screen on vivid setting or dynamic is just asking for it too. And if you have an Xbox One for example the games to ages to load, that’s just asking for it too.

Is IR really still a problem? I watch loads of discovery programmes and sky news etc, and they have all the banners and logos and I have no issue with my plasma! Yeah, in earlier models it was a problem, and surely the new OLEDs have a screen setting such as the pixel orbiter thst are on panasonic pdps..?!
