Yup. I did not come here crying or regretting anything, just wanted to share my experience. I think most people will be more than fine and the newer models must have stellar longevity, probably beating off many competing LCD models. I cannot even remember having nearly as many hours on a single...

Update! Not really any difference to be honest. Maybe it's a little more blurry but I'm not positive on that. Camera angle is a little different but when zooming I am able to make out the same things. OLD: NEW: BONUS, hp bars on green : Almost all other colours like red still look...

I scheduled it to run at bedtime and it did (saw the white lines and everything before I tucked myself). I'm at the office now but when back home later I will inspect the screen closely, and compare to what it looked like. I have other pictures (other solid colours) I didn't upload so there is...

I'll run it later and let you guys know.

My understanding is that it scans the pixels, and boosts the voltage of those that have aged the most, to level them with the rest of the panel. At some point of course raising the voltage is not possible anymore, so "burn-in" becomes visible - aka pixels much dimmer than the others. Both the...

Yea, I'm waiting for the automatic process that will happen exactly 1000 h from now. I don't see the point of running it manually, that will just add extra wear to the pixels. To my knowledge, the manual pixel refresh is exactly the same thing as what runs automatically every 2000h. And since...

Yea I have very few dead pixels on my end on the other hand. Like 10 or so. While the burn-in from that one game is visible, I think it's important to stress how much I use that part of the screen generally speaking. Like even when I'm my browser (like now), I usually have a small 1080p-ish...

Maybe it's 3k or even bit more, it's hard to estimate since I'm using standalone version and can't track with Steam or anything. 2 years were really intense, but the other two was just a few hours a week (like now). I played a little WoW with nearly identical UI too, but that was just a few...

Well, I consider that a pretty good result personally, depends how you look at it. I'm far from being able to see it when I just "use" the display.

80* nits :D yea the game doesn't like auto HDR even. I just turn HDR on for video content and a few recent games with good support. But it's a drop in the water, hours wise. But I mean in all games I like to keep my UI in the same general area, unless there's no option to customize it. So it's...

Yea Rtings and Tftcentral said 80 and my cheap meter agreed. Edit2: I was a bit off as far as hours go, it's sitting on 15k not 17. My bad, I remembered wrong but thankfully I checked today: Edit: here is a picture of a white screen taken at about normal viewing distance (full rez picture...

Yeah I guess so. It's not totally perfect, I'd like to see improvements in the near black handling (esp with VRR) and the 5% grey banding is fairly noticeable at times. Would be nice to never have text rendering issues as well though Windows could be made to handle that. ASBL is also poorly...

Yeah, it's a lot of time at home. We had covid lockdowns when I bought it, the working from home trend (though I almost never do that now) and I don't sleep a lot, like 6h a day on average. That's not exactly the norm I think. Only 20 mins walk from the workplace, so little time wasted commuting...

It's official: I got burn-in on the CX. 4 years, 15000h, 99% of the time in SDR at 20 brightness (which is 80ish nits, the other 1% was in HDR mode). I always make the screen black when I step away from the PC and I believe it does keep counting the power-on hours in that case, even if the...

Yeah I remember his video. But IMO consumers displays should strive to be able to handle anything created by the professionals. And once you disable ASBL, OLED does display those scenes decently.
