  I just spent the last 5 minutes staring at my status bar. Never noticed this before but I’m sure I’m seeing it move in a square pattern now. How cool! I just hope I’ll be able to stop noticing it 😁

  Mine does something similar but there’s simply more pixels for it to float around in, so nothing clips. It’s a 3440x1440 display, but the actual physical screen is something like 3460x1460 so the image can shift without clipping.

  Mine too, it is kinda annoying with a terminal full screen because it crops at least half the first character when it is shifted left, and I use It it in full screen 100% of the time. But still not annoying enough for me to do anything about it.

  I guess is also a releave every time I noticed, it means my OLED is fine.

  Wouldn’t that not be enough though? It should help in a lot of places, particularly the bar itself and the digits. But I’d be concerned that the center of the battery indicator and the wifi icon would still burn in.

  Or maybe people just don’t keep their phones charged.

    Modern OLEDs have other burn-in prevention features too, like subtle logo dimming and built-in screensavers. They also do what’s called “pixel refreshing” when the panel is turned off. Not quite sure how that works.

    Really the only way to get burn-in on a modern OLED is to turn off all the protection features, crank the brightness to near-max (never needs to be done in indoor environments), and leave a static image displaying on the screen for several hours at a time. Dude literally has to be on XVideos all day long, every day, several days in a row, for this to happen.

      Could be an older monitor, too.

      How about if you just have the sun blazing in on your screen all day?
