Comment on Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore
narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 10 months agoIt’s in the “nature” of OLED that it eventually wears down. My understanding is that technically, it’s not burning in, but burning out, and what’s perceived as burn-in is irregular wear of the different color channels or different brightness of the individual pixels (especially with HDR content).

Is the nature of all self-emissive displays, even micro-leds as they become more common.

Sure, but it’s more pronounced on OLED displays. We’ll see how microLED ages once we get some mainstream panels, but as most other display technologies are evenly backlit over the whole display area instead of the pixels emitting light on their own, they wear evenly and the subpixels/color channels don’t wear.
