Burn-in is always possible with OLED displays, but for computer monitors, which tend to display static content (like icons and taskbars), the risk is even more concerning than with other OLED devices, like TVs.

Generally, OLED monitors are much better at fighting burn-in than before, thanks to improved OLED materials, compensation algorithms, brightness efficiencies, manually operable features, and heat management techniques.

At the same time, there’s still much to learn about OLED monitor burn-in. Because OLED monitor selection only began significantly improving over the last couple of years, long-term usage data is minimal. Further, new types of OLED monitor technologies, like QD-OLED, are still evolving.
