Question OLED Care Settings on OLED monitors

Dave3000 · Mar 3, 2025

I'm right now thinking about purchasing the Asus 26.5" QHD OLED 360Hz monitor that has G-sync and Free-sync (in case I ever buy an AMD graphics card) compatibility. I understand that OLED monitor come with OLED care settings in their menus such as pixel shift to prevent burn-in from what I read. Higher risk of burn-in is the one thing that is slowing me down in deciding to get an OLED monitor and I don't think I would want to enable the OLED care settings and I use a computer mainly for gaming and browsing the internet which is so much static images such as the menu bars of the browser, taskbar, and HUDs in games for at least 2 hours at day. Can I turn off the OLED care settings on a modern OLED monitor and most likely be fine for at least 5 years if I use reasonable contrast and brightness settings?

You won’t notice pixel shift (at least I never have). My monitor runs all the other stuff at night when I am asleep.

The only things I do differently from a regular monitor are that I have it set to go to sleep after a minute of inactivity and I do try to remember to take breaks every couple of hours if using it for an extended session of something.

I play games like Factorio with static UI elements, and have had no issues with burn in. I do not run at 100% brightness however (sensitive eyes)

If I'm set on a 27" monitor, am I better off going with an 2K OLED over a 4K IPS or VA panel if they were roughly the same price?

I use 4K IPS. Personally, it doesn't make my eyes tired as much

If the owner of an OLED screen disables all the OLED care features in the menu, then the screen develops burn-in during the warranty period, can the manufacturer deny service under warranty to the owner? If you buy an replacement plan from the store, and it develops a burn-in within the replacement plan's period, can the store deny a replacement if the owner disabled all the OLED care features? These two question is assuming that the customer service employee of the manufacturer or the store asked if the owner disabled the OLED care features and the owner admitted that he/she did.

If an end user of an OLED monitor spends between 3-6 hours a day browsing the web in addition to gaming, with the taskbar visible (when not gaming), will an OLED screen develop burn-in quickly, like in a matter of months, especially if disabling OLED Care settings? I read that some people keep one IPS monitor for work/browsing and use the OLED monitor just for gaming, to help minimize burn-in on the OLED, but if I'm going to get a new monitor it will be a single monitor for everything, as I don't have the desk space for a 2nd monitor or the room space for a bigger desk or a 2nd desk.
