While improvements have been made to management to help they will still all suffer burn in. Use them with any static content and they will show signs of problems within months.

My oled phone from 2021 started slowly developing vertical lines of bad pixels this year and has some burn in on the status bar area. It's still usable, but definitely kind of annoying and a lot worse than the status of the lcd on the older phone it replaced.

For a bright room they only now have(ish!) the juice to actually perform*, but they all recommend to run them are like 80% brightness.

*top, expensive models I mean, and even tho for a lot of content you need a little bit less brightness compared to even VA, due to contrast, but that is way not enough to make a difference + with dimness of OLEDs you have to be extra careful to buy one that actually has a black screen when turned off in a bright room (and not grey in a bright environment bcs it fucks the contrast).

So, my use case, with running at 100% brightness, I would have some sort of burn-in in a few years. Absolutely not something I want to look at for a decade.

And I'm old enough to have had beautiful PVA & MVA matrices that burned in (I bought them old actually -I clinged to my CRT for as long as possible, and then suffered TN for gaming- and for my second monitor most of the time).

One of my 1600×1200 PVAs (the later model without burn in) is still next to my serves, so every few years or so it shows console :'''(.

As I see it, for a bright room, there are no OLEDs ... maybe some of the newest gen TVs maybe?
For a normal room, buy an OLED with the mentality that you might want to e-waste it after 5 years of taking care of it (no static content, no max brightness).
(This is way batter than 1 or 2 years from a few gens back.)

I also have a 1080p 2007 LCD still kicking. To be fair, any lcd I ever bought is still in great shape. But that one is the oldest.

My CRTs eventually started showing burn in. Also we never had a special one so image quality was ok at best, even compared to our first LCD units, so I can't say I miss them.

Give it up one more time for old LCDs trucking along, such perseverance, really awesome

I finally had to replace mine at over 15 years, maybe even close to 20 years, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a panel failure but one of the boards because it just shut off one day and never came back on. And prices had gone down so much in that time I went out and bought two 27” full HD monitors at Costco for what I think is the same or less than what I paid for that 17” SXGA in the early ’00s.

Two years ago I had to throw a screen away, because once I retired an old GPU, I had no device left with a VGA port.

So are mine – but the power use is becoming a problem. More modern screens use less than half that at the same size and brightness. Replacement will be necessary soon.
