Burn-in image on S21 Plus...

[X1tymez]

Never thought this happened to me. My main screen now showing letter from a picture I used for lock screen. Man! Sad day. Not sure I wanna do repair.

Oh wow
Can you show a screenshot?

A screenshot wouldn't show burn in. It would have to be a photo taken by another camera to show it.

How long is your screen timeout set to? This is always one of the risks with a static image, if the screen tends to stay on for more than maybe 30 seconds at a time.

It set at 30 seconds. Should I change it?

Hmm, that's what I have mine set to as well. I don't know if anyone has done a study about what timeout interval is more associated with burn-in. It might be a combination of the screen timeout as well as how frequently that images shows up. Is that a lockscreen image, or a screensaver image?

Lock screen. I'm at ubreak it for them to look at it.

If the screen is set to wake every time you get a notification, that might contribute.

I keep mine at that default setting

 

[X1tymez]

Just quick updates. They replaced my screen under warranty, I thought they'll give me hard time because I can't duplicate my burn in problem.

Touch response better than original screen. Man! Micro lint and dust escape into the back. I might have to live with it. Man! What a day.

 

[B. Diddy]

Wow, that was quick!

 

[X1tymez]

Wow, that was quick!

Yeah. Might be a faulty screen that in sync with Amazon return windows. It ended yesterday lol.

 

[Kizzy Catwoman]

It is a shame that happened though

 

[X1tymez]

Exactly. I just don't want to touch this phone anymore lol.

Did that on my S10+ Had a burned in image. Anything but the old fashioned LCD's will get burn-in. Fact of the technology. On my S10+ I used to run Torque, which is an app that adds gauges via bluetooth OBD of your vehicle. when on a 10 hour trip, had brightness in torch mode, and never dim. Boy was I po'd.

I'm very surprised. Going to skip on wallpaper that have words written on it.

I always use live wallpapers that have constantly shifting images -- that can help prevent the problem.
