Here's a notice from the manual of a BVM OLED monitor:
Discuss.
Of course, the meanings of "extended period" and "long time" are left perfectly impenetrable. OLED recommendations remain the same: Use it only in an air conditioned room, on lower brightness.On Burn-in
Due to the characteristics of the material used in the
OLED panel for its high-precision images, permanent
burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in the same
position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly over
extended periods.
Images that may cause burn-in
Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
On-screen displays such as center markers or area
markers
To reduce the risk of burn-in
Turn off the character and marker displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays.
To turn off the character or marker displays of the
connected equipment, operate the connected equipment
accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of
the connected equipment.
Turn off the power when not in use
Turn off the power if the viewfinder is not to be used for
a prolonged period of time.
Screen saver
This product has a built-in screen saver function to reduce
burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed for more
than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts automatically and
the brightness of the screen decreases.
On a Long Period of Use
Due to an OLEDs panel structure and characteristics of
materials in its design, displaying static images for
extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high
temperature/high humidity environments may cause image
smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall
brightness.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio, may
shorten the life of the unit.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around the
outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.
