[Q] Always on display

[100rabh7791]

Hi
I want to ask is it safe to keep the always on display? My main concern is screen burn in. Can anyone provide an insight? I love the always on display but have turned off with the fear of screen burn in.

Thanks

It's not always on. If you cover the proximity sensor it turns off the always on display. So if in your pocket or face down (which I do to stop watching the time go slow) it will not burn in.

Also Google move the display so it's not constantly displaying is the exact same position all them time, see https://9to5google.com/2017/10/17/google-pixel-2-oled-burn-in-protection/

Thanks for the link. It's good to know that pixels move. It feels safe after knowing the display is shifting constantly

Yeah it's not as dramatic a shifting as Samsung does it but it does the job. Have had my phone since the month it was released but no AOD display burn in. The bottom though, does have a little but I just recently switched to Fluid Navigation so maybe it'll alleviate some of it

Damn that's sad. The burn ins scare me. The phone is only 3 months old but yeah i want to take precautions. Been using the pie navigation so that should be fine i guess

I've been using AOD since I got my P2XL 16 months ago. I have no screen burn in from it. It's safe to use.

Whoops. I meant "No AOD display burn in" if that wasn't clear.

Thanks for the info. I've only had it for 3 months. Will be using it now
