Hi everyone, I'm sorry to ask about image retention.
I'm hopefully going to be purchasing a Panasonic OLED TV later this week.
As far as I understand it, the TV I'm getting was first released in 2019, so image retention or burn in should be less of a risk than earlier panels.
That said, in the instructions it says,
'Do not display any still part of the image
for a long period
In such cases the still part of the image remains dimly
on the screen (“image retention”). This is not considered
a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still image parts:
• Still images shown continuously on the same area
(ex. channel number, channel logo, other logos or
title image, etc.)
• Still or moving pictures viewed in
4:3 or 14:9 aspect ratio, etc.
• Video games'
I will be using it to play video games so maybe it will dim certain parts of the HUD, but how long is a 'long period' so I can avoid it as best I can?
Is it an hour, six hours, three days?
Also, how long should the screen display another image before going back to the same game?
Thanks for any input.
P.S. I did search for an answer but couldn't find anything about lengths of time.
