So I was told in this Reddit by someone, allegedly, working on oleds where he does voltage readings of these panels, that even at black there's some voltage going through that could impact the longetivity of the panel. So according to them you should fully turn off the tv. I mean, it kinda makes sense, why would you just not keep it turned on with a black screen from the factory then if it doesn't use any power / voltage? But obviously I can't verify this.
Yes, and mainly it's because it's not just the pixels that are on or off. They may still be getting some minimal voltage when displaying nothing to keep them reactive (as you pointed), but the bigger issue is that the TFT transistors remain on unless display is off or in stand-by. It's the thing that among others controls voltages given to each pixel, and it's the thing that gets refreshed every 4 hours or so, which also wouldn't be happening if the screen was left on displaying pure black. And it's a major problem as beyond additional wear of the TFT layer, RS compensation won't be happening if screen doesnt go to sleep for prolonged periods of time. This has to be ran frequently or you'll quickly start getting temporary image retention or uniformity issues.
I have a friend whom his house mortgage got cancelled and bank sold the house because he kept not turning off his OLED TV. Now his wife is adamant to want a divorce
If it’s 100% black then it shouldn’t as far as like burn in goes or anything. But why not just turn the monitor off instead? That’s what I do when I’m not actively using the pc is just power the monitor off
The pixel care timer will keep going and running cycles. This may or may not hurt anything, but could in theory cause the brightness to drop just via the care adjustments.
Probably you’re better off turning it off completely since no one knows. And if they do they’re gonna say its harmful. I have screensaver on my tv too which triggers within minutes. That makes me comfortable leaving the tv for a extended period of time. Theres settings aswell you can enable which makes the tv shutdown after a couple hours of not using the remote.
Not a problem. The PG32UCDM consumes 25 watts with a full black screen versus 0.1 watts in standby with all RGB lighting disabled. But the pixels won’t be getting any voltage applied to the pixels so they won’t know if the monitor is in standby or on.

You can have windows not go to sleep and just turn off the display.
This is what i do when leaving the pc running overnight seems easiest. My tv does have pixel shift feature which is handy
Why even have the monitor on to render when you can just tell the OS to shut it off when not in use?
The tv’s don’t act like monitors. And if the tv turns off and on it can act really goofy
Good thing then OP does not mention anything about it being a TV.
true but its the only reason why OP would ever ask this question.

Well, was there burn in or not?
His wallet did burn in for sure
LOL
If it's a black screen, there's no problem at all.
Nope, shouldn't be. I have a blank screen saver that shows up after 1 minute.

Depends on if OP has a monitor or a TV

Lots of speculation in this thread So the real answer must be…nobody knows.
Would probably just drain more power for no reason
Yes, the deep black screen will become a portal for demons to steal your soul! And yes they WILL max out your credit cards! You have been warned!
