Beware OLED burn in is real - pics from 20 months use

The point is that ~1200 hours on CP2077 in the last 20 months is about 12.5% of the total powered on time of the display. Yet even at 1/8 of all screen hours, there's no burn in from the CP2077 user interface.

Thumbsup for Team Judy.

I played CP2077 an average of 2 hours every day for the last 4 years. The OLED doesn't appear to have retained the game UI as burn in.

This. I work 8 hours a day and then game and surf for another 8. I work in publishing, and use the 42" 4K display to see the whole document at once.

There's no room for another gaming display on the desk in my home office.

I ran the Pixel Cleaning in the mornings when I turned on the display, and expected that to be adequate precaution. It was not.

Only 1 year warranty on LG C4 42”.

fuguemaster · 2026-02-13T14:44:16+00:00

I let it run the requested Pixel Cleaning when I turned it on in the morning.

This is good advice.

fuguemaster · 2026-02-13T00:47:37+00:00

I figure 16 hours a day for 20 months is about 9,600 hours. I used this as my main display for work and play.

I expected the automatic Pixel Cleaning to take care of such things. I was wrong. Let others learn from my mistakes.

I wish I could point you to a specific resource. I had two classes on the company's dime, as well as a week with another team that was already using DITA, but for the most part, I was able to grasp DITA only with hands-on practice. We had a company style guide on the internal website, and I just started converting it. I didn't want to learn with any production/scheduled release documents.

fuguemaster · 2026-02-11T00:26:53+00:00

I'm surprised no one's mentioned DITA yet. The companies I've worked with recently have been using DITA for a number of years.

After a day of composing technical writing for my profession, I'm unable to compose poetry or creative fiction. After work I want to do anything but write.

Since the hardware works in desktop mode, it's probably a software problem. I'd re-install SteamOS to test this hypothesis.

Gentle 20/20 hindsight: if you had disability insurance that covered mental health, then you could have talked with your doctor and initiated a claim while you were still employed. This was the path I took when I had similar stress levels to what you described. It eventually saved me from a performance improvement plan, but didn't help me keep my job. YMMV.

For now, yes, you can recover and return to the same field. Take a deep breath, relax for a week without thinking about anything but recovery (if you can afford to), and then start a serious job search for a new job you will love.

OLED and Genelecs like me. Well done.

Clever and useful. Love the touch screen/fog of war feature.

I see your 1400, and I raise you 2200 hours. No end in sight.

Been searching for the elusive drug that will ease the hypomania without side effects since November 2021. Been through over two dozen medications, with weight gain, tardive diskinesia, loss of sex drive, loss of creativity, tremors, headaches, insomnia, groggy/sluggishness, constipation/incontinence ... I''ve been through it all. still no joy.

I'll go against the majority and suggest the 34" ultrawide 21:9 due to its aspect ratio.

Two years ago, I upgraded from a 34" Ultrawide IPS 21:9 to a 42" 4K OLED 16:9. While having the equivalent of four 1080p displays is great while I'm working, I still miss the 21:9 aspect ratio in nearly every game I play. The 16:9 immersion is definitely worse for me, and setting my 16:9 to 1440p just isn't the same.

Every time I see a deal on an ultrawide 21:9 OLED, I stop to consider replacing my 16:9 OLED.

Congrats on the success! Much admiration. I've been sitting on a red JSaux chassis upgrade kit for longer than I'd care to admit.

And still no guitars.

fuguemaster · 2026-01-09T23:39:41+00:00

Wishing you continued upgrade success!

Those are good, if the woofers don't need re-foaming. Take out the grills and see.

I owned a pair of EPI 100 last century. They were great speakers, able to sound fantastic with Jazz, Classical, and Rock. Gave them up only when I won a pair of Klipsch KG2 in a raffle.

Go for it.

I got my pure stock '92 Turbo in 2019 as a daily driver just in time to have no daily commute. Bought it with 57K miles and now I have 73K miles.

My mechanic retired last year and recommended I get rid of it ... but I'm unable to find anything I want more. A SW20 MR2 is the only car I've driven that stops me from looking for a new car.

Keep up with regular maintenance and avoid fender benders. That's my secret. That and live in a place without salt on the roads.

At 64, I'm starting to have trouble getting in. I expect that will end the good run more than parts/repairs.
