LCD or AMOLED burn

Silentprototipe · April 25, 2017

I will be taking a summer job to repair my S6's AMOLED screen from the screen burns. My question is, Whats worse? AMOLED screen burn or LCD screen burn? Since I have a spare S4 Active that has the same issue but instead with LCD. I wish for both of them to be functional by the time I have money to replace the AMOLED on my S6.

LCDs don't have screen burn-in. They have image persistence, but that goes away.

And as far as I'm concerned with OLED, you can prevent burn-in as long as possible by keeping the display on the lowest viewable brightness setting. As evidence of this, I've had a Zune HD back in 2010 and replaced it in 2015. It had no sign of burn-in whatsoever despite having static elements all over the place and the only thing I did as not crank up the brightness.

Well my S4 does burn and bad, though it does disappear after cooling down a bit...mostly. As far as my S6 goes its already burning so to late on that but I guess I still can do that to prolong its death?
