Why is OLED even a thing?

Seriously, it's not even a full product/technology. It's as if they have researched the stuff for a while, proven that it works and released without brushing off the problems. Yes the colours are amazing but it literally is a timer bomb that could go off even in a few months if you don't "use it correctly".

It's a goddamn display, how am I even supposed to "use a display correctly"? Imagine paying thousands of pounds just to limit your watching habits. Manufacturers shamelessly tell you not to watch anything for too long AND they expect you to do a "pixel refresh" that could take up to an hour. Imagine being have to use that functionality every day just because you don't want burn-ins which WILL happen eventually no matter what you do.

So OLED is basically a consumable and companies are still shamelessly marketing an unfinished technology. And they will even blame you for not watching it correctly and refuse to replace your damaged display.

I like amoleds, they look nice, but for some reason they dim them using PWM too often, and burn-in doesn't help matters.

Anyhow, recent smartphone IPS LCDs are great and they're literally between a half and a fifth of the cost of a similar OLED panel.

brainlets will buy anything promoted correctly. This is their meaning of life and you are not going to change it. Left it be.

>paying thousands of pounds
how fucking fat are you?

>not even a full product/technology
>a product that's been mass produced and used in countless numbers of devices
what a fucking retard.

it's called "planned obsolescence"

it's not so much that evil moneymaking bad guys are actively suppressing new screen technology, but that OLED is cheap, easy to scale industrially, and doesn't last forever.

it's the same reason your phone has shit batteries. yeah, they could make your phone weigh a hundred grams more with a better quality battery. or they could make the internals user-serviceable. however, the financial model is for phones to be disposable.

if "they" could sell you a car that couldn't be repaired, or a PC that can't be upgraded, then they would. it's the same thing.

How come my OLED PS Vita from 2013 still looks perfect (besides the splotches in pitch black) yet a modern phone gets burn 1 month in? OLED Vita was early in the OLED game, it doesn't dim that much and no night mode or anything preventing screen decay. Yet still looks great.

You're a fucking retard.

It's not even planned obs. at this point. Because they are dictating on how you should be using a HOME product, because they can't 'control' it themselves for safety, otherwise the product is damaged. So basically you are not allowed to watch a display that is created for the sole purpose of being watched. If it were planned obsolescence, there would be a rough estimation of lifespan. But no, leave CNN open for a few months, now your TV is permanently branded as CNN.

Every technology has their flaws. CRT had burn issues too and permanently damaged if you had anything magnetic around it. Yet people dealt with it for the entire 20th century.

But the rule is simple: Don't put magnetics nearby and you are good.

For OLEDs: Don't watch it, it's not meant to be displayed. Gonna sell it as a display though.

Except CRT was the only screen tech for a long ass time without anything else to replace, OLED however is only one among many different LCD techs and the others suffer less from the burn in problem.

>CRT had burn issues too
You had to display a static image for a lot longer than on an OLED to burn it in.
>and permanently damaged if you had anything magnetic around it.
A really strong magnet in front could permanently deform the shadow mask. But a normal magnet would just affect it until you removed it. If it magnetized anything, degaussing the screen fixed it, and the later ones degaussed at powerup so it was a literal "turn it off and on again" issue.

Varied use without maxing out the backlight is unlikely to result in any serious permanent burn-in. Use as a PC monitor is absolutely terrible though. Minor image retention is almost guaranteed unless you watch only content that has varied movement at all times.

OLED is not an LCD tech, what the fuck are you talking about? None of the QLED, VA or IPS technologies are susceptible to burn-in either, because the backlight doesn't wear out in the same way as a self-emissive does.

Because you barely use it

I have an OLED phone and my biggest problem with it, besides the fear of burn-in which is already pretty scary, is also the fact that it crushes blacks so much, especially with HDR content.

Retard

Nah, I did some research and OLEDs crushing blacks is a very common thing, because of the way OLED panels work.
