Burn in is an extremely rare occurrence nowadays. Someone would literately have to keep their screen on 24/7 for several days or longer at a high brightness to achieve that. Other than that, they probably will never experience it at all, or be unlucky enough to experience it with normal usage after 5+ years.
Got a tip for us?

Apple is going all OLED for iphones next year. So soon the apologist won't have that to complain about either. Lets see we can take away sales from them....now profits too...so they proclaim how much better LCD displays are but soon ALL iphones will have OLED displays.

Same here....I have the S8+ and 7+ and the 7+ is by far more slippery that the S8+.

It's a meme that is very prevalent all over the internet.
Nothing like a hyperbolic generalization that has no basis in reality. Eh?
Seems there are still complaints about it even after the update. Of course, those could be out and out hardware issue.
I'm not having problems and that's where it ends for me.
Are you seriously trying to say you use your wireless headphones through NFC? Your argument is not cogent at all.
My iphone 4 from 2010 begs to differ and you can't possibly know how micro-led will pan out to the negative.
To me the s8 is as slippery as a bar of soap as you put it. The iphone 7 much less so, if at all.
The mobile division still took a drubbing; $8B give or take is still $8B, but it's great that you're playing fast and loose with Samsung's revenue.
i7Guy is trying to find a problem which isn't there. The honest reality is that the chances of one getting a yellow tinted LCD are much higher than getting burn.
He has nothing else now. The apologist used to exclaim sales sales sales.......then it was all about profits....profits profits..... so now that all those things are gone....the apologist has to grasp at whatever straws he can.
Samsung is a much stronger company then Apple because they are diversified. If a Note 7 happens they can easily recover from it. Apple relies on one product line the iPhone for 65-70% of their profits. It's working for them now, but if anything ever happens to their crown jewel they've got a big problem.
Seriously don't waste your time with him. Im almost in tears laughing at some of his responses. His defence of LED panels is great, really made me laugh. Backlight bleed and black inconsistacy alone makes the LCD/LED no match for OLED. I know a few people with LG OLED tvs that play games on them often and they don't have any burn in. Burn in only happens if you abuse it and leave the same static image on for days.
The IR retention on the iMac LCD panels happens after a 10-20 mins, you can get rid of it but it comes right back. We have the same issue on over 10 2012 iMacs at work. Not to mention the multiple threads about the Yellow tint issue on both iPhone and MacBook panels. Ive NEVER had to return a Samsung AMOLED phone due to the screen. The final nail in the coffin is that Apple themselves are going to be using OLED now lol. Im sure i7 guy will defend OLED once it is in the iPhone lol

Champ, oled suffers burn in...it's the nature of the beast. People have been returning lg oled tvs for burn in - as reported in various threads of review sites.
[doublepost=1499597770][/doublepost]
Lol, Samsung mobile phone division still took a drubbing compared to iohobe sales. But if it gives you the warm and fuzzies to compare the entirety of 2 businesses with different business models/lines of business you go for it.
It makes logical sense to compare a semiconductor business and washing machines with phones and App Store. And champ, you're the only one comparing profits of dissimilar companies.Champ, LCD suffers from Image retention, backlight bleed, Screen Uniformity issues and limited viewing angles (colour and contrast changes depending on angle viewed) What exactly is your point? People might take you seriously if you actually condeded that some things are done better by companies that don't start with A and end with E. Anyway I guess im an idiot for responding to your posts again.

Who cares if we get oled burn ins? I don't keep my phone long enough for it to matter.
Gs3
Gs4
Gs5
Gs7
Gs8
and a few notes and iPhones in between lol
If you even do an upgrade every 2 years burn in won't really be an issue.no one keeps there phones longer than 2 years anymore especially with trade in programs and special offers

Just purchased a 10.5 iPad from Amazon and it came with uneven whites on the bottom right of the screen most noticeable when reading or turning the iPad upside down.Back it goes until I get a proper working unit. At least the 8 solves my problem as I would rather deal with the burn in than this.
I got burn on my S2 and Note 4 in less than a year.
Was fixed under warranty on the Note 4.
I sold the S2 with burn but showed the buyer first.
I'm not saying they will all get burn, rather some will get burn, it does happen.
My Tab S 10.5 is years old and the screen is perfect still
Champ, I'd rather deal with the "problems" from LCD than the "problems" from OLED. I've yet to see one OLED screen I like, but that is my opinion. I don't know if QLED has resolved the issue of uneven wear, but we'll see.

Gotta just ignore the apologists on this forum.......it servers no purpose to engage him.
Well then you are out of luck. The top end iPhone is all OLED and we have the entire lineup going OLED next year. Maybe just stick to Sony and HtC if you want LCD. The big dogs have dumped that tech. Next year iPad will also be OLED prolly
I know, silly me. Its just hard when you see some of the responses. OLED is widely regarded in AV circles to have the best picture quality, then you get some muppet saying he has not seen an OLED panel he likes
. Its not even a matter of opinion, its just a fact OLED provides the better picture.
Not really, there is the 7s. By the time I'm ready micro-led will be in production dumping the issues of oled in the past.
This has devolved into the expected pissing contest.I know, silly me. Its just hard when you see some of the responses. OLED is widely regarded in AV circles to have the best picture quality, then you get some muppet saying he has not seen an OLED panel he likes
Just to clarify, I buy my tech with my own dollars and get to judge what I think is best.
The 7S is no longer the high end iPhone. Thats the 8. Apple doesnt switch technologies that rapidly. Even TouchID remained on the iPhone for 4 years before Apple removed it on the 8. OLED is here to stay for the next half decade at the very least. The entire lineup will go OLED next year when the supply isssues are sorted.
While you are beta testing MicroLED(considering not a single phone has it and it reportedly has brightness issues) I will be enjoying my trusty OLED screen for years
[doublepost=1499797961][/doublepost]
Thats all fine and dandy. However the FACT is that OLED screens are better. Its not an opinion but a fact.
So I won't get a "high end" phone I suspect neither will you as far as the predicted shortages.
As I said, I buy what's best for me. It's a fact I won't buy an oled screen for a few more years until micro-led because for me LCD is better at this juncture.(including my tvs)
I totally respect that, but when the iPhone is using OLED and it is universally loved it will be interesting if for once you actually have a bad thing to say about a Apple product as it is not using your preferred technology. My bet is deep down you will love it, however it will be hard for you to admit after this thread.
I don't plan on buying the iPhone "x" at this point. Will wait for the "s" model after a year to see how things shake out after a year. My 6s will run iOS 11; there would have to be the equivalent of the groundbreaking Touch ID on 5s to change my mind. The 7s+ sounds appealing though.
The price will ensure there isn’t a phone shortage in the first place. It costs 1K base price.
You ask a budget buyer and he will say the One Plus 5 is the best phone considering its the fastest phone on the planet. However that doesn’t make it a fact.
You will b waiting half a decade because Apple is going to stick to OLED until MicroLED becomes mainstream on Android.
This is your last chance to get LCD. Next year the S models or the iPhone 9 all come with OLED.
Yes he 3D Face scanner,wireless charging,no bezels and OLED are the gamechangers equivalent to TouchID.
The 7S is just another spec bumped 7 with wireless charging. If you are paying 800 bucks for that May as well pay more and get the real deal.
