How high is the risk of burn-in using bob on OLED TV?

Post by WobblingPixels »

There are a couple reports about bob deinterlacing causing screen retention on IPS displays but I couldn't find any report about burn-in on OLED TVs. Any user here who experienced burn in on OLED TVs using bob deinterlacing?

Bob wouldn't cause burn-in, which is different than image retention. I don't know if it would cause image retention, but that's what the automatic pixel refresh on OLEDs is meant to solve.

IPS is an LCD tech which is totally different from OLED. Bob on OLED, like with plasma, is absolutely not an issue.
