Jacob Roach / Digital Trends The Steam Deck OLED is starting to show burn-in issues. YouTuber Wulff Den released a report on the Steam Deck OLED, showing it suffered from OLED burn-in after 1,500 hours of screen time. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a torture test on the Steam Deck OLED, but Wulff Den’s experiment is particularly potent. The YouTuber was among the only people to put the Nintendo Switch OLED to the test on the burn-in front, and the consistent updates over the course of two years remain some of…

MSI and Asus are providing consumers who purchase their OLED monitors with some additional peace of mind, having now revised their warranty coverage on certain models to cover the dreaded issue of panel burn-in. On Monday, TFTCentral spotted that the warranties offered across Asus OLED displays have been quietly updated to include burn-in coverage of either two or three years. MSI then countered this less than 24 hours later, announcing a new three-year burn-in warranty for some of its own OLED displays.OLED panels are…

Almost all modern phones, tablets, TVs, and other devices featuring OLED screens have a way to protect the screen from the burn-in phenomenon. The screen is saved from burn-in by shifting UI elements and other content around by a few pixels regularly. However, that feature was missing from Samsung's Galaxy devices running the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 software. OLED screen burn-in protection could come back to Galaxy devices with the next software update Now, Samsung has responded, saying that it has acknowledged the…

The Android 14-based One UI 6.0 update has been released for several high-end and mid-range phones over the past few weeks. It brings a lot of new features and design changes to Samsung phones, but it also appears to have removed a critical feature that stops devices with OLED screens from getting screen burn-in issues.

This could lead to long-term image retention issues…

Samsung is in the process of updating its phones and tablets to Android 14—it has already updated over a dozen models. The big update, which includes One UI 6.0, went through a months-long beta phase and is quite stable with no major bugs. However, it doesn’t appear to be completely free of issues. Some users have noticed that the pixel shift feature is not working properly on One UI 6.0, leaving phones vulnerable to screen burn-in. Galaxy devices running One UI 6.0 are vulnerable to screen burn-in issues OLED displays…

Digital Trends “But what about burn-in?” It’s the first question many people have about the idea of OLED monitors. And fair enough. It’s been a huge problem in the tech of the past,  which is evident even in the terms we use. After all, what we’re talking about is not the burn-in of old CRT TVs, after all. What we’re really talking about is degradation. The stationary elements of a PC desktop environment are enough to make some worried. Worries, yes. But are these worries justified by actual testing and hard…

iOS 17.1 is expected to arrive next week as the first notable update since iOS 17 was rolled out to users in September.

Brandon Lee, who posted on Twitter overnight about it.Looks like my Google Pixel Watch is suffering from burn in after using it for about a week now.Look at where the heart rate complication is and how it shows up in the pill of the app list.Bummer.…

The report claims that these issues started happening after the recent PS5 update. It seems like most PS5 units are not facing flickering and burn-in issues, and there isn’t any fix for them right now. These problems apparently persist on third-party displays as well as Sony’s new Inzone monitors, which suggests that there isn’t any issue with the displays. The flickering and burn-in issues have occurred only in games that have VRR support, and they don’t go away after quitting the game or rebooting the console. The…
