Reply to comment by masseyzac in My iPhone XS is showing some hidden icons (it looks like tiktok) Is it sunburned? by LukasEleven

Actually burn in can occur regardless if there’s a static image or not

He’s obviously talking about an image getting burned into your screen. You’re not going to get a frame of a video burned into your screen unless you pause for a long time, let alone from having the video playing lol

I was addressing his statement of “burn in only happens” which isn’t entirely true.

Static images for extended time is the most common and obvious cause but isn’t the only reason.

How would a moving image (non-static) burn a screen? Asking for a friend

It wouldn’t

It would. Do you know why burn in occurs? It’s because the oled pixels are organic and degrade with use. So the pixels are degrading the moment you they’re on, whether you have a static image on or not.

The colors of oled pixels also degrade at different rates too.

You don’t know what burn-in means then. All screens degrade when they’re on… that isn’t what we’re talking about

Then tell me what burn in is? Cuz I’m sure you’re not getting it right

Stop Googling around and trying to prove us wrong 😂😂. You do not get burn in from black bars… we do not need links or sources to prove our point, so stop

Nah I’m right. Karma doesn’t equate to being correct. And I don’t care about karma lol

And you’ve avoided answering what burn in means too. You’ve proved nothing

Dude stop while you’re not too far behind. Burn in is caused by static images.

Sure all display pixels degrade in color over time.

But burn in is caused by a static image remaining static too long.

If you use your screen to watch a ton of movies and the aspect ratio leaves you with black bars on the top and bottom, you’ll get burn in from the middle of the screen even if the middle has all dynamic images.

Even if you use the whole screen, say if a portion of the screen tends to use saturated color more than the rest of the screen, you’ll get burn in even if everything is non-static.

All burn in is is the uneven brightness of the screen due to the degradation of pixels. Having a static image is just the most common way for burn in to happen, NOT the only way.

> Update 05/31/2019: The TVs have been running for over 9000 hours (around five years at 5 hours every day). Uniformity issues have developed on the TVs displaying Football and FIFA 18 and are starting to develop on the TV displaying Live NBC. Our stance remains the same: we don't expect most people who watch varied content without static areas to experience burn-in issues with an OLED TV.

Even though it’s rare for your average consumer, dynamic images still can and will cause burn ins. And this test doesn’t take into account for black bars and someone displaying content that has more saturated content in one portion of the screen over the other (it does talk about how each sub pixels degrade at different speed though)
