How are new oled panels Burn-In proof?

[Aquinus]

Phones are a totally different ball game. Their Screen On Time is tiny by comparison, and they dont have static images like desktop OSes do, things like the taskbar.

I don't think you understand how often I have Waze open on my phone when I'm in the car. There is a reason why my 2015 Subaru Impreza has 171k miles on it and I'm the only owner.

What is causing the iPhone 15 Pro Max 'screen burn-in' issue?

Screen burn-in is a common issue that often affects OLED displays. However, it typically happens over a period of time — not in the short window that we've been seeing with iPhone 15 Pro Max.
After all, the phone began shipping on Sept. 22. How is it that users are suffering from screen burn-in so soon?

A more accurate term to describe what's affecting some iPhone 15 Pro Max models is image retention, which is similar to the screen burn-in, but it's short lived and doesn't leave permanent damage.

Bullshit. I bet it's how they're driving the OLED pixels. It's just like my LG 5k Ultrafine. The image retention only occurs with really bright whites and is far more pronounced with blues. The funny thing is that contrast is something the display accels at. I believe that display manufacturers are driving pixels harder than spec in the case of OLED and beyond what the polarity inversion algorithm can handle for LCDs. The end result is long term degradation of the panel.

Fun little fact. If I flash black and white at 60hz on my 5k for 5 minutes then turn it off, the panel will flicker on static images for almost 15 minutes afterwards. LG has a real shitty polarity inversion algo on this display which is absolutely pathetic for a display that used to retail for $1,300 USD. That's the kind of shit that happens when you sacrifice longevity for short term quality.

Edit: That flicker actually only has to occur for about 15 seconds to cause a persistent flicker for a long period of time after. That's pretty sad.

I am deciding buy new gaming monitor for my pc. There are many options, with oled screens too. So I would like know, how big problem burn-in is on oled screens?

For gaming? You won't have too many issues with burn-in unless you have a habit of going AFK for extended periods of time. Do that often enough in title, menu, and pause screens etc. you get ghosting (ironic), but it's usually temporary. If it's permanent... priorities.

If someone is worried about longevity on an expensive product that they can't replace it's probably not the right product for them to begin with and to me that applies to any hardware purchase

Well said.
