Why aren't screens a solved technology yet?

Why do I still have to choose between IPS light bleed and OLED burn in?
>>
>>109312343
Screens were solved 30 years ago with HD CRT, but they are 'too complicated' to manufacture now, whatever that means.
>>
>>109312392
Only a zoomer would say that, CRTs have very few advantages left over modern screens, and some pretty massive downsides.
>>
>>109312343
OLED flicker will give you brain damage, unless you are already an un-sentient NPC, then enjoy the consumer OLED trend
>>
>>109312343
new oleds dont burn in
>>
>>109312432
read that every year, been false always
>>
>>109312432
They do, but CRTs also degraded over time, and so did the LCDs with CCFL backlight they would progressively get dimmer as the backlight degraded.
A well-made LCD with an LED backlight that's cooled properly and not overdriven is the only monitor technology that is near-impossible to kill.

My three year old samsung oled is 100% fine as a daily driver, i think the meme is over

>>109312392
crts had such bad burnin it created the need for screen savers dumb fucking orangutan zoomer

>oled flicker
dude pwm is everywhere even your led lights do it and it's not humanly perceptible anyway.
>>
>>109313294
No that's not true and a highly misleading strawman fallacy. OLED flickers even without factoring PWM.

jews

Also the newer IPS black panels are good enough and don't suffer from any OLED nonsense problems
>>
>>109313380
kek, nope
They made the problem even worse with halos around everything

>>109312421
Are you refering to VRR gamma shifts as "flicker"?
You can disable VRR if it annoys you that much.
>>
>>109312343
Because humans are worthless animals. It's the same reason why Bluetooth speakers and soundbars overtook Hifi gear. People want convenience and are cheap as fuck, and dont care about quality beyond an absolute minimum baseline. There are IPS monitors much better than OP's pic, but everyone buys the cheapest garbage (or corpos buy on some inexplicable compliance scheme), so there's no market for quality stuff

>Why aren't screens a solved technology yet?
A-TW polarisers solved screens decades ago but kikes refuse to make them because you wouldn't have to buy a new monitor every 5 years due to burn-in and you might not buy the latest hekkin super ultra premium deluxe high refresh rate and resolution that you won't get anything out of because scaling remains an unsolved issue and you're too poor and brown to buy a gpu that can handle above 60fps rednering
>>
>>109312432
They all burn in. Some manage burn-in better than others, but in 5-10 years they all reach a point where they look like potato next to new screens.
>>
>>109318226
Yeah IPS has been solved and self-sabotaged for so long it's old enough to have grandkids. If someone wanted to have a state monitor factory at this point I'd support it. A polarizing layer and RGB LEDs just aren't that expensive.
>>
I don't know why /g/ keeps ignoring VA, it's clearly the best when the display manufacturers kept investing in it until OLED.
>>
>>109312343
OLED burn in is solved, it will only happen if you intentionally try to incur burn in now
>>
>>109312432
it's less than 1000 hours required for human-perceptible burn in(out) with modern oled
if you use your screen "all day" then you'll have burn in(out) within one quarter of a year
>>
I have 8639 hours on my LG C4, bought in October 2024. It is my main computer monitor and constantly has static images like my taskbar. There is no burn in.
>>

>OLED burn in is solved

its not solved, people who buy OLED TV's after a few short years start showing vertical or horizontal burn in lines. It's solved on the phones for the most part, but on TV's it is not solved.

The way it's solved, is how apple does it, keeps track of how long each pixel was on, then adjusts the brightness of individual pixels to account for their decay, that is not a solution its a bandaid.

no worry, just wait till we meet aayyylmao and they will give us better tech upgrade

Screen savers were never about saving the screen. It was always just a thin excuse for devs to fuck about. If it was actually about saving the screen then "blank" would be the only screen saver.

Dare I say user error?
Keep your OLED under 200 nits, use screensaver and likely it wont burn in a decade

Any day now lol

HDR gives me headaches, and eyes adjust to brightness anyways
There is realistically no difference between 300 and 150 nits to your eyes after adjusting
I enjoy OLED for the great colors and contrast
If you want HDR just go stare into the sun for a couple minutes
>>
>>109321022
I have it on but I turn off my monitor completely when I am not using it. I also don't leave anything on the screen for to long and most of it is dark. Still think I'll get burn in?
>>
>>109321968
Playing games no
Web browser with HDR brightness, probably
Burn in (out) is exponentially afaik
So if the brightness is turned up double it will burn in four times as fast etc

Keeping HDR mode ON in windows for legacy desktop applications is driving lambo like a toyota.
I want to see all the colors all the time, not some fucking disgusting desaturated mess that microsoft in 1995 decided ought to be enough for anybody.

Windows screensaver stops working for me after about an hour of the PC being on completely
Anyone have any idea about that?

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SELL MORE SCREENS

I’ve had 4 in the last 2 years. They burn in.
