Hey everyone, been thinking a lot about burn-in lately. Especially with how much time I'm glued to my screen these days. I've noticed slight image retention on my older monitor after marathon gaming sessions, kinda unnerving! Wondering if anyone else has similar experiences, and what precautions you take? Are certain panel types like IPS or VA inherently more susceptible? I've been eyeing the [Odyssey G60SD by Samsung](/monitors/samsung/odyssey-g60sd) with its OLED display, but the burn-in risk is holding me back. Maybe something like the [TUF Gaming VG27AQ by ASUS](/monitors/asus/tuf-gaming-vg27aq), which is IPS, would be a safer bet? What do you guys reckon? I'd hate to drop serious cash only to have ghost images haunting my screen. Plus, do higher refresh rates impact the likelihood? So many questions swirling around!
