    Won’t OLED suffer from bad burn-ins along the years?

      This is mostly apparent on TVs that would stay on a news channel 24/7, otherwise you probably won’t suffer from it.

      Just a quick copy & paste from the net:

      • Burn-in is possible with OLED, but not likely with normal use.
      • Most “burn-in” is actually image retention, which goes away after a few minutes.
      • You’ll almost certainly see image retention long before it becomes permanent burn-in.
      • Generally speaking, burn-in is something to be aware of, but not worry about.

      I only play docked so this isn’t a problem for me but then again it’s not the new Switch I would have liked to see.

        I’ve just had phones where the navbar has burned in and the OS gives no way to fight back (inverted colors, etc), but I suppose that won’t be an issue with Switch then.
