Burn-in is the one big worry with OLED monitors. But evidence that it shouldn't be a dealer breaker for gamers is approaching critical mass thanks to another long-term assessment released today.

YouTube channel Optimum has been using a 32-inch 4K LG WOLED monitor for around 3,000 hours over two years and has found only minor burn-in. This is a particularly handy metric given that one of the best known existing trackers of OLED burn-in by Monitors Unboxed has been based on a monitor with a Samsung QD-OLED panel. Now we have something similar for LG WOLED.

Are you using the same monitor? Blooming is not an affect of burn-in. If you want to know, watch the video. If you don't, don't. I don't care.

No not for this monitor that was just an example of something recent I’ve seen on other monitors where people say the effects were not noticeable but they were to me and especially if the panel was dark

Ive noticed slight oled burn in on other peoples devices but I think it’s mostly them going blind to it because it’s part of their default setup so they’re extra unlikely to notice
