That's fucking insane. HDR 1400 displays are at least 1,400 nits. 614,000 nits seems like you'd be staring at the fucking sun.
Tbh the burn-in issue is the reason why I don't like OLEDs as computer monitors. I know phones and TVs don't tend to have major burn-in issues, but the fact that it exists sucks. TVs have a variable-enough image that long-term use isn't an issue imo, and even the most thrifty person will probably end up replacing their phone every 4~6 yrs. However, I'm used to having computer monitors be long-term things. My last monitor lasted about 10yrs before it died.
Aw, that's disappointing. At the same time though, if they're able to get even 10% of the 614,000 nits on commercial units, then they'd have to lose a significant amount of brightness to dim to current display levels.
Yeah, I hope so too.
phones definetly have issues with burnin still. my last phone had it as well as some image degradation despite constant promising its all good now. at this point ill just stick with lcds until we have better tech.
I am worried about burn-in on computer screens, but at the same time I am just wondering about how others use their phones, my last 4 phones had OLED and I have never had any burn in occur. I bought a used Galaxy S4 mini at some point and when I got it had slight burn-in of some icons, but it didn't get any worse in the two years I was using it. Am I maybe just too old because I use a computer while young people use their phones for 10 hours a day?
As a young person that uses their phone extensively, daily driving both a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus from 2019 and a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from 2024 for about 6 to 7 hours every day, I can tell you that at least for flagships, AMOLED display burn-in is a non-issue, it arguably does not exist.
