I have recently purchased a smartphone in which it has the AMOLED screen, which is made by small lens that produce light instead of having a panel that has the light underneath it. Samsung has really worked so hard to make the AMOLED-based smartphones such as Samsung Note 2, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Note 3, and more. Blackberry has also joined the AMOLED-based phone such as the BlackBerry Z30. I wonder if AMOLED is the way to go because I really worry about the screen burn, which AMOLED does have higher rate of screen burn. I want to know what are some of the ways to prevent from such screen burn.
I wouldn't really worry about burn ins since a smartphone isn't something that you'll use for hours on end. Also, burn in only occurs if you have a static screen on for hours. As smartphones are designed to turn off the screen after a while it shouldn't ever be a problem. Actually I have never even heard of burn-in on smartphones before.
The AMOLED screen is increasingly demanded by users, because it has features that differentiate it from its competitors. The vision of the images and videos on devices with this type of display is of outstanding quality. The benefits of this type of display are manifold, but among them the image quality and savings in energy consumption is highlighted. Among other positive aspects, we can also highlight its flexibility and thinness. Of course there isn't perfect technology, but the problem you refer to is not a headache. As the previous reviewer said, the burn of the screen can only be due to carelessness or long hours of exposure, this is not an issue that should concern the average user.
Aren't there many different types of displays? Even with AMOLED there are low-end and high-end displays? I'm really not all that bothered, the most important thing for me is the amount of pixels and toughness.
I do beg to differ in the sense that smartphones these days pretty much do everything and people like me spend a lot of hours on their phone. I use it a lot for social media and communication. And i am sure there are a lot of users like me out there that need a phone that has a long battery life so that their long hours of usage demands can be met. I think that it is something to look into and see if this a major concern.
Oh, so the burn of the screen won't happen if I don't leave my smartphone on for a few hours unattended? What if I watch movies or something, does the smartphone will be on for a few hours because that's what I thought the burn of the screen occurs? Am I getting the wrong picture that the screen burn happens to when you leave the screen on and do nothing about it because if I watch movies that it will be a different story.
As long as the the screen doesn't have a static picture on for hours, burn in will not occur. Watching movies on it will not cause burn ins because the picture is constantly moving. Unless you're watching one with black bars top and bottom but even that won't cause burn ins because it would take a very long time and most movies don't last more than four hours.
