“Samsung QD-OLED burn-in sensitive”

OLED panels have many attractive features with deep blacks, high contrast and low lag. Therefore, display technology has taken its place in the world of television and telephone, while panels with sizes in this range have seriously found their way into the computer world. The latter has especially gained traction since LG Display’s OLED manufacture has gained ground in rival Samsung.

In the past, Samsung has focused mainly on quantum dot LCD panels, QLED, and as part of the investment, it cited a key weakness in OLED technology – burn-in. This can happen when static elements are displayed on the OLED screen, which are the ones that linger when the picture is different. Over the years, OLED-equipped devices have been equipped with various solutions to greatly reduce this problem, but now LG Displays reminds Samsung that a stone in the glass housing is a bad idea.

that it Forbes reports That LG Displays turned a digital press conference into a forum in late February to pay back criticism of Samsung’s aging OLED. So on the agenda were Samsung’s QD-OLED panels, which, according to LG Displays, run a higher risk of burn-in than the company’s alternatives. As the basis for the claim, images and test results from reviews at Rtings are reputable. in Comment on Techpowerup Rtings states that they had no connection to LG monitors, and thus obtained the data directly from the site.

We have not sent any information to LG Display. We published our two months of data and photos in two installments on the 6th and 16th of February. Looks like LG picked up these photos from our reviews when they released them to the public.

Further to this point, LG Display did not reach out to us prior to their press call where they made references to our test and photos. — Rtings, via Techpowerup

The images show burn-in traces of the QD-OLED camera equipped Sony A95K and Samsung’s S95B, while Rtings images of the LG C2 and G2 models do not. LG Displays believes its WOLED technology, where the extra white pixels help boost brightness, is a nicer solution than Samsung’s QD-OLED. Samsung has seriously pointed out that the white element produces a lower-resolution image, however, which is something LG Displays omit in the somewhat unexpected layout.

Forbes writes that LG Display felt the press conference finished when the criticism directed at Samsung was presented. It remains to be seen whether the panel manufacturer has now started a dispute with the OLED competitor and whether the latter is ready to respond to LG’s weaknesses. In any case, it is clear that OLED development is moving forward and in practice burn-in is a very small problem in normal use.
