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 is 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. Like any display, burn in is possible but dont underestimate oled on burn in
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 by taking a picture of the screen then applying filters to make it more visible. In real world usage its effectively impossible.
With any modern OLED display, burn in is something you don’t need to worry about.
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.
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 not had a single phone that’s suffered burn in.
Regardless, I’d trust someone who reviews displays for a living over my own anecdote.

I didn’t say it’s not a thing, I said it’s not something you really have to worry about with modern displays.
And yet, the testing seems to show that’s not an issue.
