OLED Burn-In Test — Free & Online

Burn-in is one of the most frustrating issues for OLED owners. It appears as a faint ghost image that never goes away. Our OLED burn-in test helps you detect it early — before it becomes permanent.

What Our Burn-In Test Checks

  • Burn-in — Permanent ghost images on the screen
  • Image retention — Temporary ghosting that may fade
  • Uniformity — Uneven brightness or color across the screen
  • Dead pixels — Permanently black dots

How to Test for Burn-In

  1. Clean your screen — Remove dust and fingerprints.
  2. Set brightness to maximum — For accurate testing.
  3. Click "Start Full Diagnosis" — The test runs in fullscreen mode.
  4. Inspect each color — Look for ghost images on solid backgrounds.
  5. Check gray specifically — Gray reveals burn-in best.

Why Burn-In Happens

  • Static content — Logos, taskbars, HUDs
  • High brightness — Accelerates OLED degradation
  • Long usage — Pixels age unevenly over time
  • OLED technology — Inherent to organic materials

How to Prevent Burn-In

  • Lower brightness — 50-70% is optimal
  • Use dark mode — Reduces static bright elements
  • Enable pixel shifting — Moves static elements slightly
  • Use screensavers — Avoid static images for long periods
  • Set shorter screen timeout — Turn off when not in use
