It's insane with all the problems OLEDS have that they feel justified charging more than a thousand dollars for a monitor. A monitor that no matter what will eventually get burn in.
Definitely one of the stupidest things I have heard on Lemmy, as far as tech goes. LCDs have a far slower burn in rate than OLED screens, but OLEDs have gotten way mature in the last decade. Few years ago, I would have said it still needs a lot of work, but the situation is significantly better. MicroLED might still be the next goal though.
Let you in on a little secret. Nothing is forever. All panels will eventually burn in.
That's not true at all lol.... like wtf
It literally is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_burn-in ctrl + f lcd, or live in ignorance forever.
At least LCD is mostly temporary according to that article.
But pixels do degrade over time, not sure if it counts as burn-in though.
I never said they burn in equivalently. LCD technology has a much longer service life than oled but it will eventually burn in given the right circumstances. Also Pixels degrading over time is how burn in usually works with modern display technology. Nothing lasts forever and we should be cautious that our understandings reflect that in technology, especially when we're using those understandings to build preconceived notions.
You know the monitors don’t get paid, I hope.
