OLED Burn-In Test

Compare controlled solid colors and gray fields to make persistent image shapes or temporary retention easier to notice by eye.

Manual image-retention inspection

Compare several solid and gray fields for persistent shapes. This visual test cannot tell whether an artifact is permanent burn-in, temporary retention, or another uniformity issue.

How to run the OLED burn-in test

  1. Select Start OLED Burn-In Test. Fullscreen is used when available; otherwise the same patterns remain large inside the page.
  2. Move through every solid and gray field manually. Look for the same outline, logo, bar, keyboard shape, or other image residue across several different fields.
  3. Hide the controls when they cover an area you want to inspect. Compare anything suspicious with normal content before drawing a conclusion.

Burn-in, retention and panel uniformity

Persistent shapes visible across several neutral or solid fields may be worth investigating. A similar-looking artifact can also come from temporary image retention, panel non-uniformity, tint or mura.

OLED burn-in is generally used for permanent differential aging, while image retention can be temporary. A browser pattern cannot establish which cause is present or whether an artifact is permanent.

What this test does not do

This is an inspection tool, not a repair or pixel-fixer routine. It does not flash the panel, run long high-brightness cycles, calculate a burn-in percentage, or certify display health.

Gray percentage labels are encoded sRGB reference values, not measured physical panel luminance. If a persistent artifact matters for use or warranty decisions, confirm it with real content and the display manufacturer’s guidance.
