I bought a MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED X28 in November as part of my new build.

I've been working Monday and Fridays on it, and a few hours of gaming at the weekend. I did some chores at lunchtime today so switched it off for an hour or so (my work Macbook has a habit of switching the screen back on :confused: ). When I switched it back on it has fairly noticeable vertical lines much like those shown here. I ran the Panel Protect and they seem to have disappeared, but I'm a little worried now.

I haven't had the chance to investigate further, anyone had any experience with this on OLEDs? TIA.
 
Looks like image retention, quite a common thing on OLEDs, did you have anything on the screen that would have had columns, perhaps a wallpaper or screensaver?

The image retention section of this vid explains it.

There was about 5-6 lines evenly spaced per the link above. So it doesn't match any of my windows, and it only showed after the monitor was off for 1hr or so :confused:
