Maybe that is why Microsoft made Windows 11 say its Windows 10No, 12. Skip every other Windows release; at this point they're guaranteed to be bad.
Hah, got a chuckle out of that.ps. This post is imho as relevant for OLED for PC use as talking about HDR
Just like with Windows 7 (NT version 6.1), it wasn't a big enough distinction to bump the kernel revision.Maybe that is why Microsoft made Windows 11 say its Windows 10![]()

I tried the pureref app for $7. It works well and even works behind the taskbar area when the taskbar is hidden.
I did hit a snag once where I had the image I was using as a masking border set over the taskbar area though. When I went back to the desktop I couldn't give the pureref app the focus in order to use it's hotkeys so that I could hide it or move it lol. I couldn't see the taskbar icons on the bottom since it was over the top of them and pureref doesn't show up in alt+tab or win+tab. I ended up going into task manager and down to pureref, and down one level to the running pureref app and clicking it so that it would be the focus again. Then I could operate it via it's hotkeys again. Just a heads up in case you blind yourself that way heh. Worst case I would have closed it from the task manager but I didn't have to, just needed to focus it again.
If using pureref, I'd have to make sure to hit the P icon on the taskbar each time if the hotkeys weren't working so that pureref app would be the focus. If you can't get to the icon, you could set pureref as the focus via the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc). A little annoying. It would be better if it was a global hotkey but it's manageable for what you get.
Instead what I ended up doing in the end was setting pureref as the first icon pinned to my taskbar. So now I can just hit "Win + 1 " and it will focus pureref. Then the hotkeys will work after every time I do that. So that's pretty easy to do.
CTRL+ SHIFT+B will put it always on bottom too I found, then CTRL+SHIFT+A to put it back on always on top. So the taskbar thing is avoidable there too .. Win+1 , CTRL + SHIFT+B
The pureref app seems like the best way to do it. It can import multiple images and resize them so you can use different black images as bars, or other objects like spheres, etc. It also works behind the taskbar in the taskbar's area (though it will take top layer like I said above). I had to use my taskbarhider app and it's hotkey (ctrl+shift+Z is what I set mine to) in order to show/hide the taskbar once before pureref took the top layer but it works easily enough.
Pureref is also neat just as an image placement thing if you have multiple monitors. It doesn't support animated gifs but in the forums there are instructions on how to get it to load galleries so it can be used as isolated slideshow window spaces sort of.
The overlay control 2 app is ok but doesn't do multiple images etc. To be fair, it wasn't designed to, it's more for a tracing paper like function.
I can hit CTRL+1 (the location of pureref on my taskbar) to make the overlay the focus,
then hit SHIFT+CTRL+B to make it always on bottom. That effectively hides it. (Just hitting CTRL+1 a few times will do that same thing as it takes pureref away as the overarching focus + mouse-clickthrough).
Ctrl+1 to focus pureref then SHIFT+CTRL+A to make it's layer always on top again.
CTRL+ T to enable/disable mouse clickthrough. When it's disabled you can drag the images around.
When CTRL+1 pureref is the focus, CTRL+I will load more images in. Resize and rotate capability by controls on the borders of each image
CTRL+1 to focus, then CTRL+ + (plus), or CTRL+ - (minus) will globally change the opacity of all of the images at once. I don't think you can do them individually but you could customize your own opactiy, size, shape, etc images in gimp or other image editor easily.
CTRL+1 to focus pureref, then CTRL+S to save the whole set of images and their placements as a pureref set. I set this one as pureref.set_borderlands3.version1 for example. CTRL+L will open dialogue to load a set. So you can easily load things for different channels, streams, games, apps and toolbars, etc. You can also easily add and remove images from a set and drag them around until you re-activate the click through again via CTRL+T.
I just come to say that after looking at the latest rtings burn in test, and seeing they managed to have burn before hitting 2000 hours of use
With the firmware bugs, and some of the extra oled annoyances like the flickering, finally decided to get rid of it, and sell it.
oleds are great, but they are not yet prepared for desktop normal use, BFI, higher brightness, much more burn in longevity, etc are needed before spending over 1000€ can be justified with such short livespan if you are not elon musk.

Did they do these tests in the days of plasma? I have to imagine they wouldn’t fare too well in these torture tests…I just come to say that after looking at the latest rtings burn in test, and seeing they managed to have burn before hitting 2000 hours of use

To say It's copium is ridiculous lol. Some people like it bright and don't wanna have burn in . In fact It's the exact opposite of what you're saying because ignoring burn is copium and a massive dose of it lol.That's pure copium. Just get an LG C3 and enjoy life.

Just buy an OLED and enjoy.
Enjoy? Enjoy spending all that money on the thousands just for it to burn in? Then buy another one because the burn is distracting it bothers you like an eye sore? Worry about dealing with warranty? Deal with spending more money on another because we all have gigantic pockets like Bill Gates and It's no biggie? Enjoy these things that will catch an unsuspecting tech enthusiast by unpleasant surprise? Or enjoy how you knew it was gonna happen and bought into the hype anyway? Lol I don't know man doesn't sound very enjoyable in the long run to me.
I think you’re blowing this way out of proportion. Rtings’ torture tests in no way reflect real world usage. They are designed to burn the screens as quick as possible to observe the affects of burnin and how the sets deal with it.Enjoy? Enjoy spending all that money on the thousands just for it to burn in?

Exactly my point. Except for the desktop. And that’s not because I disagree, but because I don’t know enough to comment.I think the point he's simply trying to make is that RTings torture tests are not truly indicative of real world usage lol. Most people can indeed "just buy it and enjoy it" given that some people here have already crossed 10,000 hours with no burn in. That's long enough to last most people many many years. I still don't think buying an OLED for desktop use is a good idea, but you can get a pretty decent lifespan out of it.
Looking at their testing methodology and I’m certain that plasma would have done worse.
Exactly my point. Except for the desktop. And that’s not because I disagree, but because I don’t know enough to comment.
I will say that even though I’m certain plasma would burn quicker with Rtings’ burn in tests, our plasma still hasn’t developed any new burn in since we got it last year used. And that is with kids leaving it on accidentally, playing video games with static HUDs, you name it. I’m quite confident that an OLED would handle any normal viewing habits with ease.
Edit - we have actually had the plasma for two years now! Time flies…
i did, 09-21. just ran the fix tool in the menu once a month, no probs until i replaced it due to it randomly turning off. doesnt mean the two should be compared though....I don't recall anyone ever using a Plasma TV as their main computer monitor.
Nah, I've been enjoying my OLEDs for years now. No burn in at all.To say It's copium is ridiculous lol. Some people like it bright and don't wanna have burn in . In fact It's the exact opposite of what you're saying because ignoring burn is copium and a massive dose of it lol.

that's not "starting to develop some burn in" that's an already burned in displayLooks like it's starting to develop some burn in at the bottom but If it can look this clean after 4800 hours of the same content, then with varied content it's going to do even better.
Sorry - we were talking about the TV models so that’s why. I’ve known people to use plasmas as their primary screens. But good point. Monitor usage is different. I was thinking TV usage.Why do people always bring up plasma TV burn-in issues when talking about modern OLED computer monitors? Plasma has been a dead technology for 15+ years at this point, and I don't recall anyone ever using a Plasma TV as their main computer monitor.
how so? their test are just using it X hours on content that may burn the screen, then seeing at which point it burns
if they burned the screens under 1800 hours of usage, what do you think is going to happen to your display when you hit that 1800 hours of use with for example a multiplayer game like lol, valorant or csgo, games which people put much more time than that.
or the windows programs like chrome, or whatever you use?
Ratings proves otherwise lol Average users don't notice any difference of an OLED except how dim it is when they bring it home in the living room. Then when it burns in they get mad of course. But I'm sure you're in a cave with low brightness slamming gallons of copium till It's gushing out your ears haha go ahead and tell me how you run max brightness in a bright room for 3000 hours all the usual bullshit because the fact of the matter is Ratings just proved YOU ALL WRONG LOLNah, I've been enjoying my OLEDs for years now. No burn in at all.
Take your burn in copium pills as we enjoy vastly superior image quality.
Most people usually watch the same channels on their favorite shows and can easily rack up hundreds and hundreds of hours in a year or two. Most gamers sink hundreds even thousands of hours into their favorite games. It is absolutely a reality. Ratings is the truth. Believe it or not.Well if you're telling me that someone will not use their OLED for anything else AT ALL other than playing the exact same game for 1800 hours then sure. But I'm willing to bet the vast majority of users will vary their content to some degree, it's not a straight 1800 hours of the same images which is why I think it's not truly indicative of real world usage for most people. This is from their setup article:
"All 100 TVs are displaying the exact same content: a live stream of the U.S. version of CNN, untouched, with all commercials and breaks intact."
So the CNN logo is pretty much there right from the get go all the way up to 4800 hours. Who's going to buy an OLED, fire up some Valorant and then never switch off anything else on it other than Valorant for the next 4800 hours? Probably nobody, you're going to be throwing in some web browsing, youtube watching, other games into the mix as well. Real world usage for most people is varied content hence why I say the testing not truly indicative of real world usage and really just a torture test. Desktop users though, I can see them firing up their screen and then just using it for work everyday for 8 hours so the taskbar will remain on screen permanently just like the CNN logo.

It doesn't need to be straight
the more you use an application, the most some static pixels will start to degrade and lose phosphorum faster. Changing it to other programs, may or may not let those pixels be more dim than the rest of the screen.
If you play 2000 hours of valorant, valorant UI will burn the display, no matter you were browsing in between, in fact, you will probable end with the valorant ui + chrome omnibar and scroll bars burned in the display.
The thing is varying the content doesn't matter at all. The damage that is done cannot be undone no matter how much you vary the content. Burning pixels is still inevitable on oleds. Varying content 100% of the time sure you're fine, but anytime there's any static logo or HUD the burning that happens cannot be undone no matter how little or how much it is burning.Obviously, but they're not going to be racking those hours ALL AT ONCE. Hundreds of hours in a year or two but spread out with other content. Again tell me who's going to buy a display and then either watch the same show or play the same game and NEVER vary the content even once right from the get go?
5000 hours is absolutely nothing, even 10.000 hoursI know that. You're missing the point here, by the time you've sunk 2000 hours into Valorant, how many hours will you have had your OLED on? Exactly 2000 hours? lol. By the time you get to 2000 hours in Valorant you most likely will have have your OLED on for 4000 or 5000 or longer hours.
How much more than that because that was just one particular game. Now let's throw in all the other games with different huds. Now let's throw in all the TV and streaming channels that have static logos. It's all adds up.I know that.

I agree that it's the worst case scenario but for TV'sI'm also not saying burn in won't happen. Of course it will if you give it enough time (Duh), what I'm saying is I think we should simply treat RTings testing as a worst case scenario and not the norm. I didn't ditch my OLED cuz I was scared of burn in. I ditched it cuz my 32M2V wrecks it in HDR lol.
5000 hours is absolutely nothing, even 10.000 hours
as I said, my 144hz already have 16.000 hours of use in about 3 years, the OLED would have burned in less than year just with normal computer usage, I would have had the chrome static elements burned in for sure in 9 months lol
yep, that was my point, the general consumer who is purchasing this monitors, is the complete opposite of the TV's buyers, so the rtings test was a reality check for everyone telling us in which point we are with this technology and how it isn't mature enough for desktop usageIf you want to use your display for that long then obviously OLED isn't a good choice for you. *shrug*
No, this is standard practice. Most emissive displays don’t cover burn in under warranty. Period.There's a reason of why LG didn't want to offer burn in protection, we are just starting to see why
Yea my QN90B is a monster in HDR as well. I've been a hardcore FPS gamer my whole life. I would roast an OLED in a year easy. That's embarrassingly bad for a display. It's so fragile It's laughableI'm also not saying burn in won't happen. Of course it will if you give it enough time (Duh), what I'm saying is I think we should simply treat RTings testing as a worst case scenario and not the norm.

Do you have a amazon link to the display you're talking about? I'm just curious about Its price and reviews on Amazon since you give it such a good recommendation.I'm also not saying burn in won't happen.
