We've been tracking various long-term OLED monitor burn-in tests in our own mini meta series of reviews over the last two years. Until now, the message has been pretty consitent. OLED burn-in is real but barely a problem. Now, at the two-year mark, there's arguably a subtle shift in the narrative that needs to be recorded. Burn-in does appear to eventually become more problematic. How problematic? That's a subjective call.
The latest data point comes from YouTube channel Monitors Unboxed, which has uploaded its latest 24-month update. As before, Monitors Unboxed's testing represents something of a worse-case scenario for OLED wear thanks to primary usage that majors on static productivity apps for around 60 hours a week with Windows in Light mode, but with a dark taskbar.
