This app promises to prevent OLED burn-in, but don’t fall for it
- OLED Guard Pro is a $10 app that promises to prevent OLED burn-in but the app is beyond clunky and often gets it the way of working on a PC.
- OLED Guard Pro app claims to prevent burn-in, resulting in “longer screen life, reduced power bills, and a viewing experience that feels fresh every day.
- At its core, OLED Guard on focuses whatever your active window is by dimming or applying a pattern to areas of the screen that aren’t active and put less strain on them and “prevent” burn-in.
- The app uses settings like Shadow mode, Patter mode, and Vignette modes. The first two automatically shifts horizontally or vertically lines every few seconds to adjust itself.
- An active area of the screen will remain in the same spot even when you snap the windows back into place.
- Experts say that the risk of OLED burn-in is much lower than it’s made out to be.
- The app is made by a solo developer and needs serious updates before it can be a useful utility.
- It’s a brute force method for trying to keep your OLED panel fresh when the tech packed in your monitor is much smarter.
- OLED monitors today are packed with features that go beyond what OLED Guard Pro is offering.
- The app may extend the lifespan of your monitor further, but the features built into your display are already doing most of the heavy lifting.
