I’m seriously considering an MSI MAG monitor. Do I need to adjust my workflow? I do lots of desktop work on my computer and I really don’t want to hide UI elements. I also do some gaming of course. I’d say it’s 70% desktop work and 30% gaming (though it varies). Do any Lemmings have any experience in this matter? Thank you!

    “Paused” still image is not the only occasion where it happens.

    I have just bought a used one, and when I did the tests, it showed 5 little hearts of Minecraft along the bottom line - not very strong and no big deal at all for me, but still there.

      The question was “Is it still a problem”. It definitely used to be, but if you buy a new OLED monitor today, you’d have trouble burning without a deliberate effort

        Well… No. The previous owner of my monitor was simply playing some Minecraft, among other games (mostly shooters). No deliberate effort, no negligence.

        Before we did these burn-in tests together, he even explained proudly all the built-in anti-burn programs and features of the device, and how he did them regularly, and this is actually a real good device that has them all and runs most of them automatically.
