    After about 1,500 hours of screen time, my OLED Steam Deck finally burned in. This isn't exactly real world use, but it's still faster than I was expecting.

      Yeah. it's really a shame to hear that they arent doing ANYTHING to prevent burn-in within the console. Shows they werent ready to drop the oled yet but just did it to compete. Which i'm grateful for, but hopefully they catch up. And give us the software support to keep the oled healthy longer.

    one thing i've learned as a die hard oled user for the last 6ish years, is if you just dont crank the brightness to eye blinding levels, it will be just fine, and you literally dont need to do anything to mitigate burn in aside from not just leaving your static image screen on for days at a time. Just because a screen CAN go up to 1000nits peak brightness, doesnt mean you NEED to run it that high.

    @Warlock_UK Před 2 měsíci +7

    My presumption is that there's larger blue subpixels because it's lower down in the electromagnetic spectrum (with red at the other end), so you need more of it for the same brightness - kinda like with low frequencies versus higher frequencies which vibrate faster already. Though I'm basing that on pure guesswork and it could be balls.

    • @random_n
      @random_n Před měsícem +1

      Actual largest reason is that RGB OLED panels use fluorescence for blue instead of the higher-efficiency phosphorescence that red and green use. Lower efficiency means more heat that compounds burn-in, so spreading the emission over a larger surface with oversized subpixels evens out the wear rate of a typical image.
      LG's WOLED and Samsung's QD-OLED for larger displays are different again, each with a single colour backlight and colour filtering or conversion layers above. Both still dependent on fluorescent blue though.
      Phosphorescent blue is the next big OLED upgrade coming down the pipelines with promises of better efficiency to enable an improved balance of durability, brightness, and/or battery life. There is some expectation that the first panels using this tech may be in production later this year.

    Even if burn-in showed up after 1500 hours, I doubt that this will be a problem for 99% of users. Like you said yourself, you keep your brightness at 25-50% brightness and that would be true for most people. And nobody is even physically capable of spending more than 100 hours on a game in a single sitting, in other words pausing the game, turning the screen off, playing another game, watching CZcams or a movie, or anything else that is not playing the exact same game will save a screen from burn-in in any real-world practical use.

      That doesn't prevent burn in. It would just burn in more evenly so it would be less noticeable but your screen would still be constantly degrading. Also I don't know how many users are like me but I like higher brightness on my devices. I like to keep mine around 70-80 percent. My switch oled I keep at 100 percent brightness.

      @@soulreaperx7x Well that's simply just screen technology. All screens degrade with use, but OLEDs and even QD-OLEDs are infamous for it because of how quickly (in relative terms) they can suffer from burn in.
      So sure, with enough use and high enough brightness burn in will happen regardless of use, but that's true for almost every display ever, and as I explained in my previous comment when it comes to practical use burn in wont happen. If it does happen it won't happen for such a long time that it will take many years if not decades for burn in to happen. And by then you probably will have upgraded already.
      As for switch it said in this video that it maxes out at 400 nits of peak brightness. The OLED Steam Deck can do 600 nits in SDR and 1000 in nits in HDR. In other words if you want the same brightness as Switch on the Steam Deck you would set it to 80% in SDR and 40% in HDR.

    ngl, i did kinda wonder if you were gonna repeat the oled stress test with the steamdeck, and i'm surprised to hear that these were the results! maybe the next edition of an oled that they make will fix this, and I'm glad to hear that they responded to you when you submitted your query! (also found it funny that they had to specify "normal user" lol since it's clear that you're not making normal use of yours.)

      You'd need someone playing the same game for years, 1500 hours is a lot of time spent on a game. That wouldn't be a normal user either.
      Tho emulator users are more likely to run into it, cause they got weird aspect ratios, so parts of the screen won't get burn in and that'll leave contrast.

  • @BrianHarkness
    @BrianHarkness Před 2 měsíci

    That's the thing, it's unlikely to get the burn in unless you keep it on all the time on the same image and if you are opening different menus and, not blasting the brightness and other factors it won't be as much of a concern. LG TVs and monitors have software to help keep the panel fresh and avoid burn in and my OLED TV is still doing good even with hours of gaming but I don't leave it on a static image forever too

  • @ilya_mzp

    There are two types of burn-in on OLEDs. The usual temporary image retention that you can have on certain IPS/TN panels and the permanent burn-in. Make sure you wait at least a few minutes after closing the test image before you measure the burn-in.

    I would never pick built in OLED for a PC - everything about how computers tend to get used, from the desktop, menu bars, often on the same website, to the games tends to be the perfect setup for causing burn in.
    Its not that I think you can't get a good lifetime out of OLED, or that the image isn't generally better than the other common options, or that I can't handle the screen replacement myself - I just spend long enough fixing electronics to know I don't want to have to open up my devices for many many years. Given the lifespan of my current laptop the steamdeck has largely replaced I fully expect I'll still be using my LCD Steamdeck in a decade (being a habitual Linux user rather lengthens the viable service life so as long as nothing breaks in a way I can't get the parts to fix it).

    HDR and SDR brightness isnt the same. If the display follows PQ well, HDR will mostly be under 200 nits for anything that isn't a specular highlight. Regardless of how bright the peak of the panel is. 600nits of SDR is exponentially brighter average picture level than HDR is. Also most average content is single or low double digit nits APL.

    I'd guess they don't use the appropriate refreshing cycles and this is more image retention and not true burn in. See the Rtings video of their long term burnin tests for reference. Maybe they can patch that and add compensation cycles on switch off or with a notice to perform it manually triggered? It should perform the same as the switch when treated properly on the driver side as it is almost the same screen.

    The Nintendo Switch uses a Samsung OLED panel exclusively.
    The Steam Deck, however, uses a combination of Samsung OLED panels and BOE AMOLED panels.
    The Switch seems to be using better mitigation to prevent burn-in.
    The Switch could also be using a better-quality OLED panel, as Samsung does offer different OLED generations that have better mitigation with the later panels.
    The Switch may also benefit just by using Samsung panels exclusively.
    Samsung displays are considered the best of the best when it comes to OLED.
    And the BOE panels are often a generation or two behind.

  • @rutmandan
    @rutmandan Před 2 měsíci

    FYI wiki derived note: The OLED material used to produce blue light degrades much more rapidly than the materials used to produce other colors; in other words, blue light output will decrease relative to the other colors of light. This variation in the differential color output will change the color balance of the display, and is much more noticeable than a uniform decrease in overall luminance. This can be avoided partially by adjusting the color balance, but this may require advanced control circuits and input from a knowledgeable user. More commonly, though, manufacturers optimize the size of the R, G and B subpixels to reduce the current density through the subpixel in order to equalize lifetime at full luminance. For example, a blue subpixel may be 75% larger than the green subpixel. The red subpixel may be 10% larger than the green.
