Burn-In Test

Check your OLED/AMOLED screen for image retention and burn-in

Important Note

This test helps detect existing burn-in. It does not cause burn-in when used briefly. For best results, test with solid colors after the screen has displayed a static image for a while.

Lower Brightness

Turn off display when not in use

Image Retention vs Burn-In

Image retention is temporary and fades. Burn-in is permanent pixel degradation that cannot be fixed.

Affected Displays

OLED, AMOLED, and plasma displays are susceptible. Modern LCDs rarely suffer from burn-in.
