Smartwatch Screen "Burn-in" (Image Retention)
4.5
You can see a faint ghost of the watch face even when the screen changes.
Symptoms
- Ghost images
- Discoloration
- Static shadows
Possible Causes
- OLED degradation
- High brightness for long periods
- Static UI elements
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Change Watch Face
Use a face with different colors and layouts to "exercise" the pixels.
2
Lower Brightness
Prevents further degradation of the OLED material.
3
Enable "Pixel Shift"
Check if your watch has a setting to slightly move the UI to prevent burn-in.
When to See a Technician
True OLED burn-in is permanent hardware damage and cannot be fixed with software.
