If you buy one of these OLED's which precautions do you need to take to prevent burn in?
Just ensure if you use it for pc use only you hide the taskbar and static icons and have regular changing backgrounds. And that you run the olight not maxed out at 100 24/7.
I usually have mine at the most of around 75-80 in hdr game mode and the difference is minimal between that and 100. Most people run them a lot lower though depends on personal preference.
I’ve never had burn over time. Had my E8 a long time now. Although I have seen others with it. While it’s mostly overblown it is possible and I have seen a number of threads with burn from different content than just 24/7 news channels. Can be a panel lottery also as some are more susceptible than others.
When you put it like that you are absolutely right with these Ultrawides that cost 1k and come with a host of there own problems like glow etc, Is there any input lag etc what's the response times like ?
OLED can have its own set of issues and as per the few comments above they all suffer from vertical banding to some degree. Severity depends on panel age (as it does settle over usage), and things like panel lottery and viewing conditions. For the most part on a decent panel it’s not so much of an issue if you don’t go looking for it and it’s much less of an issue than say DSE on most other large TVs.
Input lag is great and you don’t get any ghosting or any such issues due to the instant pixel response time. Never used mine with a mouse though. Mainly just gets used for controller based RPG, casual fps and such like.
They are much much better picture wise than any gaming monitor available.
1k on an OLED or 1k on an ultrawide, i’d pick an OLED every day of the week.
