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.

    Sounds like you won’t get close to 10 years if after 2 the burn in starts

    And I gotta keep my brightness down all day too just to be safe?

    Lmao that’s simply why I’m not buying one 🤷‍♀️

    Thousand+ dollar monitors degrading after a few years of normal use and that’s somehow acceptable to people…maybe when I’m rich lol
