The OLED version of the Nintendo Switch has had an interesting journey. Beginning, information technology was rumored to be a pro version of the Switch that would be more powerful. Then, Nintendo squashed that rumor, and nosotros concluded up with just an OLED model. However, that seems to have been the correct call as the new model is currently selling similar hotcakes.

However, with whatsoever OLED comes the perceived risk of fire-in. Now, burn-in is something OLED owners have been warned near forever. The fear is that if y'all leave a static image on the screen for too long, it will burn into the pixels of the screen. Withal, the truth is modern OLED technology has made tremendous leaps and bounds in limiting the hazard of burn-in.

Now, that doesn't mean it is impossible, information technology just happens far less oft. Thanks to YouTuber Wulff Den, we now take information on how the OLED Switch's screen deals with burn-in.

In the video above, Wulff Den talks about how he'due south left his make-new OLED Switch on for 1800 hours to examination if burn-in is a likely outcome. He has performed this examination using a Hori SplitPad to keep the Switch from turning off and a screenshot from The Fable of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. Now, with an extreme test like this, you'd expect extreme results. Still, the screen has performed immaculately.

Wulff Den says that the only pocket-sized issues he has noticed are the bright white part of the ceiling is showing through slightly and that the blueish-white has a slight green tint. Basically, he has concluded that the exam has not even phased the OLED screen, let alone caused issues. He as well states that fifty-fifty if yous are a gamer with over 2000 hours in one game, burn down-in shouldn't be a practical business for y'all.
