Burn in/Image persistence?

[dlf]

Do you think we will ever have screens that won't be able to get burned in images and or image persistence?

I thought "burned in images" were no longer a phenomenon since the invention of LCD.

Doesnt really happen any more. Maybe if you stil have a Plasma screen, but LCD/LED doesnt burn in soooo yeah.

We have them already with LCD. It is possible (though VERY rare) to get image retention issues on an LCD but even these are not permanent (typically they fade after 20-30 minutes) unless the pixels are stuck, but that's not the same as burn-in.

Unfortunately OLEDs do suffer from burn-in again, but hopefully this will be resolved as more durable OLED materials are researched.

Yes, the 30000$ 1080p OLED`s from a few years ago suffer a bit from burn in...

 

None of the todays 4000$ 4k OLED do tho...  i mean they do if you leave a single picture on them for a week.
