Meanwhile I've hit almost 3300 hours using my 48C1 as a monitor for 8 hours a day with no such issues, because I put it on standby when I get up to walk around and stretch my legs or get a drink/something to eat - so it has been able to run short compensation cycles (5 mins) every four hours or so as intended. Linus Tech Tips 'burned' a 48CX OLED when using it as a monitor after only 540 hours because Linus left it on 15+ hours a day (541 hours/35 cycles). Screensavers can help too, but do not replace the need to put it on standby when you step away.Īnd I recommend everyone to set their TV to turn off after 4 hours (at most) if there is no input from the remote - so it can't be left on at a static screen accidentally for too long. It isn't necessarily permanent, but for anyone using one of these as a monitor I always recommend that you switch them off when you step away from the computer.
