What the experts say
From OLED screen burn-in: What you need to know now:
So if the fear of the mere possibility of burn-in is your primary
concern, the decision is simple: buy an LCD-based display instead. But
know that you’re sacrificing the best picture quality that money can
buy. Here are some points to keep in mind:
- Burn-in is possible with OLED, but not likely with normal use.
- Most “burn-in” is actually image retention, which goes away after a few minutes.
- You’ll almost certainly see image retention long before it becomes permanent burn-in.
- Generally speaking, burn-in is something to be aware of, but not worry about.
Some tips for Ubuntu
- Auto hide the launcher and only have it appear when the mouse bumps the window border where it is docked.
- Periodically shift the location of the application indicator panel from top to bottom and back again.
-
Blank the screen after 10 minutes of inactivity. This is how the function got it’s name “screen saver” in the first place.
