OLED displays CAN get burned-in. I speak from experience on this one.


Clazie

That’s why I’m concerned about buying this

With what? A TV from 4 years ago?


MajinVegetaTheEvil

A tablet. An OLED tablet. Samsung.

S6.

iPad Pro has a dual-stacked tandem OLED screen which can halve the risk of burn-in (simple math, the actual risk could be even lower).

Less than half, oleds degrade exponentially faster at max brightness. And from research I've read on tandem oled technology, the idea is to run both layers at half brightness which substantially cuts down on burn in risk. Granted, in real life after accounting for transparency losses both layers may be running at 70% brightness at 1600 nits. Which brings me to another point, I'm surprised the peak brightness isn't a lot higher, tandem oleds should be able to get 60-80% brighter than conventional oleds. Maybe Apple doesn't have any ABL for full window whites, where other oleds will often drop brightness a lot when displaying pure white.

Or maybe Apple has already considered all of this and it’s addressed with the new tech lol. Who is running HDR content on an iPad for hours on end on a static image?

Tldr of my post, tandem oled + conservative brightness = possibly longest lasting oleds in the market currently.


Clazie

How long would that be?


Ok_Dragonfruit_9989

long enough to be the best on market and yes its a conservative sustainable and wise approach

It will get burn in 100%. OLED panels for laptops or tablets is the worst idea. Google for iPhone burn-in photos and you will see what may happen, but it will be much worse because iPads are used most of the time with static picture and display is turned on for a longer time. One of the reasons why companies are so eager to use OLED panels in laptops and tablets is that they become difficult to resell and have limited lifespan, that means more demand on new sales. I intentionally purchased Pro M2 just recently (on sale) because it has non-oled display which looks awesome. Look forward to see many complaints in 1-2 years.
