The Nintendo Switch OLED was released about 2 years ago and YouTuber Wulff Den (I’m a fan, by the way) bought one unit of the Switch OLED and did an experiment just to have the Switch run non-stop, showing the exact same image for 18,000 hours straight.
Weirdly enough, the 3 different subpixel colors burn-in at a different rate. Bob (the name of the YouTuber) also played games using the Nintendo Switch OLED with the burn-in and he said that he just forgot that he was playing on that particular unit of the Switch OLED. The burn-in might show up depending on what image is showing on the screen, but mostly unnoticeable if you’re “in the zone” anyway.
The supplier of the OLED screens for the Nintendo Switch OLED is actually Samsung Display. It’s a 720p OLED screen and while this experience with the sample size of just 1 can’t speak for everyone, it does show that it could last for 18,000 hours of continuous usage.
One crucial information that is lacking is the brightness level. The higher the brightness level, the faster the OLED is going to deteriorate since more power is going to run through it.
This dude is crazy enough to perform this experiment and also answer a few more other questions like how the battery health has been affected and whatnot.
Overall, it’s really great to see OLED panels have matured so much over the years. It makes me wonder why I didn’t see people reporting about their OLED phone screens having burn-in.
