BIZARRE: Reviewer records first drop in overall brightness after 21 months of burning in his qd oled monitor but the 2 decrease isn t likely to be noticeable - You Need To See This

Tim at YouTube channel Monitors Unboxed has published another update on his ongoing burn-in testing of MSI's MPG 321URX OLED display. Tim revealed that the monitor is finally showing overall brightness degradation for the first time ever after 5000 hours of use, but on the flip side, the monitor's existing burn-in artifacts have only slightly worsened since his last update.

As a quick refresher, Tim started burning in his 321URX almost two years ago, and he's using it predominantly for work consisting of static desktop apps. According to Tim's video, the monitor is used 60 hours per week, set at 200 nits of brightness with the Windows 11 task bar enabled. The screen is also set to sleep only after two hours of inactivity to further stress the panel.
