Great news for LG OLED PC monitor owners and those considering purchasing an OLED monitor! LG has just announced that their standard two-year warranty for monitors will now also cover any burn-in effects that have occurred or might occur in the future from normal usage.
As per LG’s statement, everyday uses like desktop applications and gaming fall under “normal” usage. If a scenario arises where burn-in, such as the Windows taskbar, a program icon, or in-game HUD elements, becomes permanent and regular automatic cleaning or maintenance methods no longer resolve the issue, you are entitled to receive repair or replacement under the provided warranty duration.
LG previously had a policy of excluding burn-in from their OLED monitor warranty, but the company has now reversed this decision. Currently, the brand covers OLED burn-in in the US and regions of the EU. That being said, this policy change does not apply to their OLED TVs.
This policy change is likely to encourage more gamers to go for OLED gaming monitors rather than IPS or VA panels. As we know, OLED screens are better than IPS and VA screens in a few big ways. One cool thing is that OLED screens can show really dark blacks and very lively colors because they can turn off each individual pixel. This makes them look way better than IPS or VA screens that aren’t capable of doing this. Also, OLED screens look good even if you’re looking from the side. So, if you’re watching with friends or family, the picture still looks great. OLED screens are great for gaming and applications where smooth motion is important because they have fast response times. They also have a wider range of colors than IPS or VA screens, which makes the visual content more dynamic and lifelike.
