YouTuber The Phawx subjected the screen of his portable Steam Deck OLED console to a lengthy stress test and found that it started burning after 750 hours of heavy use. Phawx pointed out the result of the experiment attention Notebookcheck version.
As part of the blogger’s testing, the Steam Deck OLED displayed the same image for 750 hours, or about 31 days. At the same time, the backlight brightness was changed from 400 nits to 1000 nits, and the display mode was changed to SDR and HDR.
As a result, at first glance, the matrix remained intact, but when the brightness increased, problems arose. It turns out that the pixels subjected to the greatest load darken. For this reason, afterimages began to appear along with them in some areas of the screen. The flaw was especially noticeable when playing HDR content.
Phawx believes that under normal conditions, the Steam Deck OLED display will last much longer than 750 hours. However, according to him, players who prefer to play the same game at high brightness for a long time should be careful.
Before this, The Phawx conducted a similar experiment with the Nintendo Switch OLED console. This device’s screen showed signs of burn-in after 5,000 hours of stress testing.
