With a burn in warranty extended to three years, Gigabye has matched Asus and MSI with its upcoming OLED gaming monitor offerings.

Who is buying a $1399 monitor and only planning on using it for 3 years outside of a really small group of people?

Do you stop using items as soon as their warranty is up?

No but OLED burn-in is something that is going happen from use, it’s not a ‘maybe it’ll fail in 5 years’ like an LCD monitor would be.

I’ve been using an OLED as my primary monitor every day for three years now; the burn-in issues are greatly exaggerated. Not a single sign of burn-in, and I even disabled some of the protective features in the service menu to get a brighter picture. Modern panels are very good at mitigating the issue.

Plenty of people have OLED TVs that last longer than that, depends on the use case.

My laptop has an OLED screen and I’m pretty sure it’s older than 5yo now. No burn in. No dead pixels

How is it guaranteed unless you played the same game with the same HUD without variation and just started at the three year mark.

If you vary contenr, use screensavers and use HUD settings for OLED you shoukd be ok

I’ve been using an oled as a monitor for 3 years and there’s no visible burn in yet, I’m not too worried about it. I’m sure even when it starts it’ll be way better than ips glow.

Burn in is always overblown my 2009 plasma is still awesome aswell
