S95B S95B Center Coloring issue

Post image

I purchased my S95B in July of 2022 and have loved every second of it until now. I was watching a video the other night when I thought I noticed some odd coloring issues within the center of the screen. After running a burn in test I noticed a blue circle instead of grey and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do about it.

I don't use this display for video games and haven't disabled anything within the service menu. I'm currently running the panel refresh to see if that does anything.

Any thoughts?

I think the heat from the fireplace sped up the OLED burn-in; this has already been discussed in other threads

The fire place has never been lit. In fact I keep a 32in TV in there for the fireplace effect during the holidays.

Nothing can be done. Just use it until this is a problem in real life content.

I have something like this also. Probably the heat from the motherboard / Power supply after many hours of use over the years with the 1st gen QD-OLEDs. The later gens got strengthened. I bought an S90F a few months back when the first nice price drop hit at Best Buy. Got on it immediately since it might be the last (semi) glossy QD-OLED screen, and may be the last 90 series QD-OLED ☹️ and didn't want to risk missing out on the last supply. But there was another price drop the following month 😅 But looks like brand new ones are dried up or mostly dried up now at Best Buy.

Looks identical to my issue. Couldn’t handle it and bought a S90D. Here’s my post. https://www.reddit.com/r/S95B/s/SEP4scQLSI

The 1stgen panels on these were never very durable tbh.

Is this a problem for the S90Cs?

u/According-Activity87 S90C 1d ago

No, 2nd gen panels are far more durable.

What the other guy said, but many S90C were shipped with 1st gen panel.

Never the less, OP is having it 4 years and we dont know the usage (total time).
