Preventing TV Burn-in
1:35
Burn-in is a phenomenon that affects some TVs. It can present as dark or blurry spots in the picture and is especially noticeable on OLED displays. The best way to fight TV burn-in is to avoid displaying static images on the screen for long, unbroken periods of time, which includes content that features static logos in the picture, or motion graphic banners like you see on the news or sports channels. This also includes gameplay overlays like status bars and icons! Steady viewing of letterboxed or pillarboxed media can also affect burn-in, so it's always best to make sure the source media matches the aspect ratio of your TV by adjusting the Picture Size in the TV's Picture Settings Menu. Other things to consider are keeping your TV plugged in, and making use of the TV's auto-refresh feature, which performs a pixel shift every so often, specifically to help with burn-in. But another thing to consider is always an upgrade to a beautiful QLED TV.
