Detect and prevent OLED burn-in with this free tool. Moving pattern reveals ghost images on OLED, AMOLED, and MicroLED displays.
OLED burn-in occurs when static elements leave permanent impressions on an OLED screen.
Displays a moving striped pattern to spot ghost images from previous static content.
OLED and AMOLED screens are susceptible to image retention and permanent burn-in. If you use your device with static UI elements (navigation bars, channel logos, game HUDs), ghost images can form over time. This test helps you detect burn-in early — before it becomes permanent and ruins your display.
OLED pixels are made of organic compounds that degrade with use. Pixels displaying bright, static content age faster than surrounding pixels, creating permanent brightness differences. LCD panels don't have this issue because they use a uniform backlight.
✅ Uniform moving pattern — no ghost images — Your OLED screen shows no signs of burn-in. The organic compounds are aging evenly across the panel.
⚠️ Faint outlines visible during pattern movement — This is likely image retention (temporary), not permanent burn-in. Try running a pixel refresher cycle (built into most OLED TVs) or displaying varied content for a few hours.
❌ Clear ghost images of previous content visible — This indicates permanent burn-in. The affected pixels have degraded unevenly. This cannot be reversed, but you can slow further damage by reducing brightness and avoiding static content.
The moving striped pattern should appear perfectly uniform across your entire screen. No ghost images, shadows, or outlines of previous content should be visible. The blacks should be pure black and the whites should be even.
You may see faint, barely visible outlines of a taskbar, logo, or other UI element. These outlines are subtle and may only appear at certain angles. This is usually temporary image retention that can be resolved with a pixel refresher cycle.
Clear, unmistakable ghost images are visible — you can distinctly see the outline of a navigation bar, channel logo, or app interface burned into the screen. The affected area will show different brightness or color temperature compared to surrounding areas.
Run this test fullscreen. Faint outlines of previous content indicate burn-in.
Temporary retention may reduce. Permanent burn-in cannot be reversed.
