The high cost and burn-in problem has always been an important factor restricting the development of OLED displays. After a long period of use, OLED displays will burn more or less, leaving a 'scarred scar' on the screen. Samsung and LG's OLED products are very difficult to avoid this problem.
IT home recently learned from foreign media ZDNe that an LG OLED TV at Incheon Airport in South Korea has experienced an aging phenomenon. Readers can observe from the picture below that there is a thin line on the top of the TV, just like the form The head of the table is the same. According to reports, since this TV is mainly responsible for sending information such as flight schedules, it is inevitable that there should be frequent page changes.

This may seem excusable, but the problem has come: This TV was installed in January this year and it has only been used for several months now.
LG has never admitted that its own products have burned screens. The company claims that its television products have a lifespan of 30,000 hours, and can spend 10 years with an average of 8 hours per day. Of course, LG's OLED screen can be used. Nothing made the company beat. The TV evaluation site RTings once conducted a burn-in test on six of the 2017 models of LG TVs. The results burned after four weeks. However, the LG engineers showed after the on-site inspection. It is the factory production that causes some panels to be less durable.
Of course, this is not the first time that LG's OLED display products have been questioned. When the company went to work on Google's Pixel 2 XL series phones, it was exposed to a variety of problems including burning.
As of now, LG has not yet responded to this matter.
