Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM
Yes, the monitor has a pixel cleaning cycle that I do almost every day. But they don't help much
In my country of residence, ASUS has terrible RMA support, where I have to deliver the monitor to an authorized third-party service center, and they would attempt to repair it. Since OLEDs cannot be fixed and all of the service centers have bad reviews, I do not trust them enough to bring my $1200-monitor to them.
i would try it anyway and contact asus directly cause oled RMA cause of burn in is usually just a new unit, at least thats how it worked for me in the past
Lmfao screen buff xd
Yeah. I kinda added a bit of contrast to the image to make it noticeable. But that's what my eyes see when I have a flat grey background. Never utilized the monitor at more than 80% brightness, though.
I would recommend lowering the display's brightness. I don't have an OLED panel myself, but from what I know, excessive brightness is what hurts their longevity the most.
Yeah, it's been a meme for a while. I knew the risks before buying it. However, after researching and reading all the "OLEDs do not burn in anymore, there are various OLED care and burn-in prevention methods" type of arguments all over the internet, and watching a video of a person quite literally forcing his monitor to burn in by displaying the same static image on the screen for thousands of hours, I thought I wouldn't use the monitor in any way similar to that considering I usually swap between applications now and then, Alt+Tab quite frequently and was not utilizing the monitor at its peak brightness. And it's a 4th-gen QD-OLED, the most recent and reliable. Turns out it's just a marketing gimmick.
I saw the first signs of burn-in(taskbar) a couple of months ago. At that point, the monitor was 8 months old. I didn't mind it back then since it's just the taskbar and I never ever look there 90% of the time. Noticed it when I was logging into Diablo IV where you see a flat grey screen for a couple of seconds:
I utilize dark mode on almost all applications and use the monitor at 80% of its brightness. Since the peak brightness varies between 250 and 400 nits based on coverage, I don't think I am even using the whole 300 nits in any case. I usually turn off all the lights in my studio when I work on 3D modeling projects to eliminate glare and the purple tint on the panel eitherway so I don't need much brightness. But it's much less bright than my previous IPS, which had HDR600 certification. For reference, I would actually have to squint my eyes if there's a very bright scene in a movie or something at 100% brightness. Or sometimes my eyes would hurt as if I just woke up on a sunny day lol
