Screen burn in

Has anyone experienced screen burn in? I just noticed it yesterday I was starting to get it on lighter backgrounds and today on lighter backgrounds u now see the imprint of my theme

How long is your screen timeout? Any screen can start to get burn-in fairly quickly if it habitually remains on with a fairly static image for minutes at a time. Make sure your screen timeout isn't longer than a minute.

Thanks for the reply as soon as I'm done looking at my screen I turn it off I never leave it on. It's weird I changed my theme and it got worse. It just randomly started.

Does that image gradually fade? If so, it could be image retention: https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/oled-screen-burn-in-what-you-need-to-know-in-2021/

I'll check it out thank you. The keyboard stays on the screen and doesn't fade.

Unfortunately after reading that it looks like mine is more of a burn in my keyboard u can see all the time on a lighter background and you can see my dark theme slightly like on a white screen it's not fully white like it is on my fiances s21 plus. It's the same with other backgrounds too that are lighter.

Is it still under warranty? It might be covered: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s20-series/samsung-s20-plus-screen-burn-in/td-p/2629020

I think so I got my phone 2 months after it came out. If worse come to worse I have jump on tmobile and they could replace my phone for 10 bucks with a refurbished one which would be fine especially for 10 dollars lol.
