OLED Burn-In
JimH:
Burn-in isn't much of a risk anymore, but in Windows Control Panel, set a timeout for the display.

Burn-in is still a potential problem with OLED not as much with standard LCDs but it is still a potential problem with OLEDs.
Here is one quick article.

I've abused my OLED displays since OLED first became available and never seen a problem.
I can't recall anyone on the forum ever mentioning that they had seen a problem with OLED burn-in.

A Goggle search will show plenty of references. It is only a problem with very prolonged use and for some screens. The manufacturers recognize it enough that they have built in mechanisms to protect against it and LG has significantly improved the situation. Again, it is only an occasional problem, but something to be aware of.

Good idea! I'm so accustomed to having screen set to never time out, I never considered this easy preventative measure.
