I’ve got a buddy who runs full brightness on every phone and complains when he gets screen burn-in. “If full brightness will cause burn-in, they shouldn’t let you set it that high.”
No, dude, they give you the option so you can use the phone outdoors in sunlight. But you shouldn’t run it that bright all the time, it’s bad for it and a waste of battery.
Every time I hand him my phone to show him something he cranks my brightness all the way up. I’m worried about his eyesight.
How is he burning them that bad?
My current phone only has the faintest bit of burn in at the clock and battery/status symbols from the top bar, and it’s so faint I have to actively open an all white image and really look at it to notice
I was lurking the monitors subreddit looking for OLED monitor reviews, without fail every single person complaining about burn-in was running their monitors at 400-500 nits brightness.
I calibrated my LCD to 120 nits, and it’s been perfect. Of course I don’t use it with direct sunlight falling on it because who would do that with a stationary monitor
high brightness is only a problem for static images. when i was on tiktok way to much, i had a burn in of the white plus at the bottom specifically and nothing else

He’s on the phone a lot with full brightness. Whatever app he uses most burns it’s UI in.
