Playing multiple thousand of hours on an oled, which are on the rise to become a standard gaming screen, really puts them at risk of burn in...

its really easy to add to the game with some checkboxes in the options enabling/disabling it

Several tests have shown that it needs to display a static picture for more than 10000 hours (continuous) the even see the effect . And most of them are 3 -4 years old. With a new modern OLED it took even longer.
Also , if you shut down the the OLED at least for 6 consecutive hours a day , you should never been affected.

At least if the display is not the cheapest or is already very old.

That is not true, my old LG B6 OLED had probably about 10k+ hours of non-static content over 4 years, the pixels were all equally aged, yet it took merely 200 hours in one league to have Leap Slam and Cyclone burn in. After 6 months the ghosting disappeared from regular content but was still noticeable on red, yellow and grey colors. Newer models might fare better, but Path of Exile, like WoW or Diablo, will ruin your OLED.

Ok , you OLED is already a very old model.


So i correct my first post . If you have modern 1 -2 year old mid class model then you will have no problems. At least i have no problems with my Samsung GQ65. Or iam unable to notice.
There's also QOLED which is supposed to be considerably more resistance to burn in.

Not old enough tech to really test. Like someone mentioned only early gen OLED has notable burn in issues. Modern ones have a lot of fail safe methods to extend the time.

Technically all panels have burn in though. They just show differently. OLED shows logos and sharp image lines. IPS is more blob-like, TN is a mix between.

OLEDs are a bad idea for PC gaming. Nothing PoE can do about that.

If you buy OLED as a PC monitor, it will burn in. It's just a question of how long it will take.

Took 2 years on my LG C9.

Samsung doesn't make WRGB OLED, if you have a S95B, it's an hybrid of OLED and LCD. The "backlight" is made of individually lit OLEDs, but the color itself is created with LCD Quantum Dots, so in theory you can only burn-in the brightness of a pixel not the color itself, the ghosting would be a lot less noticeable if at all.
