OLEDs produce stunning picture quality with perfect blacks and infinite contrast, but some even the best OLED TVs are vulnerable to burn-in — permanent ghost images that appear when static content displays for extended periods. OLEDs made in 2022 and newer are far less susceptible than older models, but the risk hasn't disappeared entirely.
Burn-in happens when certain pixels display the same bright content repeatedly while surrounding pixels show varying images. The overused pixels wear out faster, creating visible shadows or discoloration that persists even when you switch to different content.
