Comment on Valve is stopping production of LCD Steam Deck models, once sold out they will be gone forever

  Auto hide the taskbar, burn your wallpaper instead. Oled burn is really is much less of an issue these days thanks to better panels and pixel shifting tech.

    I have a folder of backgrounds they switch every hour just for this reason.

    But I hardly ever see them with full screen apps anyway and app/spaces switching with gestures is like second nature. Like having a laptop with 4-5 monitors.

    Is pixel shifting a thing on Linux? The Steam UI too?

      Pixel shifting is done entirely on the monitors firmware nowadays, no OS intervention necessary.

        Oh niiice. I wonder why Samsung still does AOD shifting on their Android roms then?

  To quote Rtings:

  under normal circumstances, with mixed usage, burn-in isn’t an issue

  Even if your task bar is on 70% of the time, you’re not going to see any significant burn-in.

    Every Android phone I’ve owned with an OLED screen (including modern ones) have had burn-in (or rather, burn-out) problems.

      Phone AMOLED screens are entirely different beasts compared to QD-OLED/WOLED on TVs and monitors.

      Phone OLEDs are much more dense, run much hotter and brighter, most also lack pixel shifting and many even pixel refreshing.

      I also had some severe burn-in on phones.

      Really? That’s interesting, because I’ve never noticed burn-in on any of my OLED phones, even though I did use them for many years each. But then again, I’ve always wondered why seemingly nobody talks about burn-in on phones, while there is a lot of fuzz being made around it on computer monitors.

        During normal use I wouldn’t notice until I started reading webtoons and manga on my phone which shows a lot of white color that you don’t typically see. And that’s when I’d see the burn in my screen had picked up.

    Right? Even just turning off the screen every day is good enough for the life of the screen.

    What kind of time frame were they testing over? Not seeing any significant burn in means something completely different if they’re testing for one year versus ten, especially for people who don’t like replacing things that aren’t totally unusable yet.

  A lot of people have done burn in tests on the OLED, and it’s barely a concern. The tech has really improved.

    Since you said ‘the oled’ i assume you mean the steam deck oled. Im not denying its bad, on contrary. Steam deck is a device that is constantly changing whats displayed. Thats good to prevent burn in on any device. The guy said oled os always better, which is what i disagreed with. Ive seen enough phones and computers monitors that were oled that had the windows taskbar, or android status bar, burned in over the years cause its a static thing

    • TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Even then, the concerns are way way way waaaaaay overblown.

      Hardware unboxed have been purposely trying to burn in an OLED for thousands of hours, and it’s still barely perceptible even when you’re trying to look for it.

      With any modern OLED display, burn in is something you don’t need to worry about.

      • Wahots@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Ehhh, it’s still a thing. I had burn in on my S9, and I babied that thing explicitly to prevent burn in. And that was after 4-5 years. My desktop monitors are nearly a decade old starting next year (wow, 1440p still has amazing staying power).

        I’d definitely worry about burn-in if you have Teams open for nine hours a day and the taskbar on. It’s crazy to me that phones still burn in from casual use. :/

        I’ve been hearing how burn in isn’t an issue for years, but every phone I’ve had has had burn in. So I make sure to avoid apps that has a persistent UI if they are ones I’d use frequently.

        I wouldn’t notice in normal use cases then be surprised when I read manga or webtoons on the display.

  I used an OLED tv as my computer monitor for over 2 years. Never had any burn in.

  I have a Phillips evnia ultrawide that has accumulated over 6000 hours SOT over the last year and a half, over 3k of that was playing RuneScape 3. You have to turn the brightness down to 10% and be on a flat grey screen to even see the beginning of burn in. It’s really a non issue, even in “torture” scenarios like getting 200m mining xp on the screen full time.
