OLED screens are glorious, gorgeous, vibrant \u2014 but they don\u2019t last forever. Eventually, their organically lit pixels can wear, and some have understandably been worried that the OLED-equipped Nintendo Switch<\/a>, released last October, might eventually succumb to burn-in. The good news? According to one test, it might take 3,600 hours of constant play on a static screen to even begin<\/em> to see the first signs of that dreaded screen malady. <\/p>\n

YouTuber Wulff Den reports<\/a> that after five months leaving a Nintendo Switch OLED turned on, plugged into a charger, leaving a static shot of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em>\u2019s Link effectively staring into the sun, he\u2019s only now finally<\/em> seeing some ghosting. And it\u2019s not a lot, as you\u2019ll see for yourself in the video embedded above. (Wulff Den also tested at 1,800<\/a> hours, and didn\u2019t see much effect back then.)<\/p>\n

As my colleague Chris Welch told you<\/a> at launch, burn-in isn\u2019t quite the fear it used to be with OLED screens, as the technology\u2019s come a long way, both in terms of OLED subpixel longevity and built-in software protections. Sometimes, those protections can even be a little too aggressive, as I explain in my review of LG\u2019s 48-inch C1 OLED TV<\/a>. But they\u2019re there, and even if burn-in still exists, whatever Nintendo\u2019s doing seems to be effective.<\/p>\n

By the way: the Nintendo Switch just turned five this past week. Here are a few pieces we wrote to commemorate that:<\/p>\n
