Extra info about common OLED issues;

BURN-IN
Image burn-in refers to a phenomenon that can occur on OLED panels where persistent images or patterns can become "burned" into the screen over time. This happens when a static image is displayed on the screen for an extended period, causing certain pixels to age differently than others. As a result, these pixels may degrade and become less capable of emitting light at the same intensity as surrounding pixels. The consequence of image burn-in is that the ghost or shadow of the static image remains visible on the screen, even when new content is being displayed. This is most commonly observed when elements like logos, buttons, or navigation bars are consistently present on the screen, such as with video game HUDs or news tickers. 

OLED panels are particularly susceptible to burn-in compared to other display technologies like LCD, because each pixel in an OLED panel emits its own light and deteriorates over time. Manufacturers employ various techniques to mitigate the risk of burn-in, including pixel shifting and screen savers, but the potential for burn-in remains a concern for devices with OLED screens. 

It's worth noting that modern OLED panels and devices often incorporate technologies and strategies to reduce the likelihood of burn-in, and most users won't experience significant issues under normal usage patterns. However, image burn-in can still occur if static images are displayed for prolonged periods, especially at high brightness levels.

VERTICAL BANDING
Vertical banding is a visual artifact that can occur on OLED displays. It refers to the appearance of faint, often subtle, vertical lines or bands on the screen that can be seen during certain display conditions, particularly when showing uniform colors or gradients. These bands may appear slightly darker or lighter than the surrounding areas and can create an uneven or non-uniform appearance on the screen. 

The bands typically run from the top to the bottom of the display and can be more noticeable on certain colors or shades. The issue is more pronounced in some OLED panels than others due to manufacturing variations. Vertical banding is a type of non-uniformity issue that can be caused by variations in the OLED material properties or in the manufacturing process. It can be more apparent on certain brightness levels, viewing angles, or content types.
