OLED burn-in, also known as screen aging or image retention, occurs when static images are displayed for extended periods, causing permanent discoloration or ghosting on your screen. Unlike temporary image retention that fades over time, true burn-in represents irreversible damage to the organic compounds in OLED pixels. Our free online burn-in test helps you detect early signs of screen degradation before it becomes severe.
This phenomenon is particularly common on OLED displays because each pixel generates its own light. Over time, pixels that consistently display the same content at high brightness degrade faster than surrounding pixels. Common culprits include navigation bars, status icons, game HUDs, and news tickers. Early detection through regular testing allows you to adjust usage patterns and prevent further damage.
Click the 'Start Burn-In Test' button to enter fullscreen mode. The test will automatically cycle through various colors and grayscale patterns.
Watch carefully for any areas that appear discolored, faded, or show ghost images from previously displayed content. These are signs of burn-in.
Pay special attention during grayscale tests. Burn-in damage often becomes most visible when viewing mid-tone gray backgrounds.
If you detect burn-in, note the affected areas and severity. Press ESC to exit and consider adjusting your display usage habits.
Detects burn-in affecting red subpixels and checks for color uniformity issues in the red spectrum.
Identifies degradation in green subpixels, which are crucial for overall brightness perception.
Blue subpixels typically degrade fastest. This test reveals early signs of OLED aging.
Full brightness test to check overall pixel health and identify any dim or discolored areas.
Verifies true black performance and helps identify stuck pixels that remain illuminated.
Combined red-green test for detecting issues in multiple subpixel types simultaneously.
Green-blue combination test for comprehensive subpixel health assessment.
Red-blue combination test that reveals cross-spectrum degradation patterns.
Image retention is temporary and typically fades within minutes or hours after the static image is removed. True burn-in is permanent damage to the OLED pixels that does not improve over time. Our test helps you distinguish between the two by providing solid color backgrounds where burn-in becomes most visible.
We recommend testing your OLED display every 2-3 months, or immediately if you notice any visual anomalies. New devices should be tested within the return window to ensure no manufacturing defects. Regular testing helps catch issues early when preventive measures are most effective.
Unfortunately, true OLED burn-in cannot be reversed as it represents physical degradation of the organic compounds. However, some displays offer pixel refresh or compensation features that can reduce visibility. Prevention through proper usage habits remains the best approach for maintaining OLED display quality.
While this tool is optimized for OLED displays, it also works on LCD, LED, and QLED screens. These display types don't experience traditional burn-in but can develop image persistence or uneven wear. The color and grayscale tests are useful for checking overall display health on any screen technology.
