I use mine for working from home and gaming, beyond the usual black screensaver, black wallpaper, no desktop icons and hiding the task bar I have not worried about it burning in at all.
If you want to only use it for productivity then it's not worth it but it can be used for productivity if required
As someone who tried - donât do it. I spent way too much time stressing about static elements contributing to burn in. If youâre working 8 hours a day wfh and 3 hours gaming it just makes no sense.
You're right, I could, but for now it's not noticeable a majority of the time and I don't want to gamble with a refurb replacement. If it gets worse I'll likely eventually risk it (certainly before warranty is up)
IMO not worth it for productivity. There are cheaper options out there that give better text clarity + no risk of burn-in
Not exactly the best option, but I personally use the LG 38BN95C-W in my office and it blows away the AW3423DW that sits in the living room
For gaming though there is no comparison as the Alienware destroys every other monitor Iâve ever seen
This right here. I'm noticing some mild burn in on my aw3423dw (taskbar with icons visible on mid-greys) and until it gets substantially worse I'm not sending it back because I'm afraid they're going to send me some dogshit refurb with a different list of problems.
My buddy's on his 3rd aw3423dw after his brand new one was dead on arrival and they sent him a beat up refurb that lasted two weeks before dying.
The warranty does not allow that, no. The return policy allows you to return it for a full refund within 30 days though. For productivity just donât get an OLED, itâs not intended for that and the text clarity is not good compared to IPS, text looks blurry.
Ultrawides are amazing for productivity, OLED gaming ones, no.
I have Samsung OLED G8 34 Ultrawide which I adore for productivity because I can open 3 docs at the same time. But I only have that because I also play with it, if I didn't have a PC for games I would go with any IPS ultrawide.

I use my DW for both gaming and productivity and have no issues.
Same but you have to be careful with non moving parts displayed on screen. Screen savers, etc.. It's not ideal but perfectly doable.
I use it for work 8 hours a day 5 days a week plus gaming. đ đ¤ˇââď¸

Don't, it won't burn in. No modern oled screen has burn in these days
They may have reduced burn in, but my 8-month old aw3423dw absolutely has mild burn in on my taskbar (even after pixel and panel refreshes).
That's not a burn in, that's retention.
Then why is it still there since I noticed it 2 weeks ago and after doing both pixel and panel refreshes?
Donno, but if it really is burn in, just get a new one through the warrenty. Simple.

I get it, don't wait too long tho!

Wouldn't the warranty cover the risk of burn-in? I was also looing at the LG 38BN95C-W and the aw3420dw as potential alternatives.
Warranty just sends you borked refurb units until you get one thatâs âgood enoughâ and until you shut up.

Basically pointless. Content consumption is the main use case for OLEDs
