21 months and 5,000 hours in, this long-term OLED monitor burn-in test finds that panel degradation slows after six months

Monitors Unboxed has released its latest OLED monitor burn-in results. After 21 months, the YouTube channel found that their MSI QD-OLED monitor had degraded only marginally from the previous 18-month update. One other key takeaway is that OLED burn-in happens fastest in the first six months, after which further degradation seems to be more gradual.

As before, this test is described as a worst-case scenario for OLED use and based on the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED, a 32-inch 4K model. That means Monitors Unboxed isn't using it for gaming but the daily computing grind with lots of static content for eight hours a day.
