Ok but he’s not using the computer 24/7. When he walks away, just simply press the power button on the monitor. Then when he comes back, press it again, ave it turns right back on.
Monitors turn off and on pretty much instantly. Really no reason to keep it running 24/7
Sadly it feels like the 5 seconds it might take is a barrier for a lot of people
Samsung OLEDs literally come with auto-off enabled out of the box, though. Not sure on his model, but fairly sure he actively chose to turn that off.
My Samsung G95SC has the same issue. There are 3 timers.
There's the automatic powersaving power-off that gives a popup in middle of the screen (blocking everything), can be configured to max 6 hours and skipped even.
Then there's the "pixel refresh" which gives a popup to top right corner and can be skipped, but you shouldn't.
Then there's also the "hidden" one that doesn't give any notice and just turns off your monitor at seemingly random times.
I contacted Samsung's support about it and they basically told me to f off and that such "feature" does not exist.
i thought i was going crazy or had a faulty hdmi cable when my samsung ultrawide will sometimes go off then turn back on randomly wtf
made a small bat file to turn mine off whenever i'm walking away for more than 10 minutes, just double click it and monitors off until input [:
Whaaaat, this is a thing? What's the benefits for it? The picture must look absolutely amazing or something?
it just decides i'm doing something where I don't want screensaver, usually if I've a podcast on or game title screen open. nothing special, just a fix for me not wanting to shut down games or me using it to listen to things or stream to other devices [:
This person is me maybe I'm a broken human. My computer has been on for 6 days now which never really causes any issues until cs2 does something funky and I restart my pc into a windows update.
That's not how oleds work. The pixel refresh is on a timer and takes 10 mins
asus made a new module in their new OLEDS for this exact reason, its a proximity sensor that auto turns off the display if no one is sitting infront of it, basically reduces the screen on time to near zero when you arent watching it
Wait this is great, might actually pick up an OLED now
you'll be surprised on how lazy people are.
You don't even need to interact with the monitor. If you lock your pc the screen will eventually just turn off anyways and do its pixel refresh. If you interact with the PC you will just interrupt the process (if too fast of course) and it will do it the next time.
The only annoying thing is that there is a refresh on a timer that will force a refresh after 8 hours of continuous use that can only be stopped by pressing the power button. This is very rare though.
this sounds horrible enough for me to just go back to using crt.
In order to avoid turning it off every once in a while? I fear for your electricity bill
If he had autosleep/auto-off enabled, he wouldn't be having this problem. He's actively disabled those features to keep the monitors powered on.
Most modern computers have autosleep functions that signal any monitor to go to sleep. If anything, a CRT is going to take a lot longer to wake up than a modern monitor if you decide to keep those autosleep functions on. So, using the sleep mode on a CRT might be more efficient than a microwave, but it's still less efficient and slower than a modern monitor, so it's still pretty self-defeating.
It does pixel refresh / OLED care things when it goes to sleep. I have an alienware OLED with a Samsung panel and the power button glows green when it's doing OLED care stuff. You can turn it on, but it'll just ask if you want to interrupt the process. Not a big deal.
19" crt uses about 100W, electricity costs ~5cnt/kWh.
((100W x 24h x 30 /1000) x 5cnt)/100 = 3.6€/month
If i want it to stay on then its going stay on! i dont care about any electricity bullshit, shit barly uses power anyway.
OLED is fucking dogshit at durability and longevity, the degradation is horrible and the burn in on every OLED phone i'v had has been horrible to the point that the entire android home screen was burned into the screen.
If you use you'r device for any extensive amount of time you'r better off going with something else
How tf do you have that much burn in? I kept my s10+ for four years of heavy use and had none. Do you just leave it on max brightness home screen all day?
Meanwhile, my 5 year-old lg OLED TV is pristine (granted, it gets fairly light usage, mostly just movies when I want my sound system or invite people over), and my alienware qd-oled has 0 burn in despite me using it for web browsing and excel for hours a day.
if a phone cant sustain max brightness without degrading its screen then the Max brightness should be Lower becasue its obviously too high if its damaging the screen over time.
The other issue i have had with OLED and AMOLED is a red/yellow shift in color tone on the screen.
Fuck yeah i use it at Max brightness, if i buy a phone that's expensive then im going to use it fully and not gimp it becasue it might break. I expect it to not break!
I didn't say that.
First of all, cool, use Max brightness. I use my phone mostly outside in the sun so I do too. You still won't get burn in. Whatever you're doing is a crazy edge case, considering I have never gotten burn in on a phone from the past 6 years (4 years on one phone, two on the current).
Is this a copy pasta
It is now
Hey man, take a deep breath and relax.
if you have the auto power off feature enabled (as it is at default, and not turned off like he's done) then because of that whole humans need sleep thing, it would do this while idle, while he's asleep and he'd never notice it ever.
Maybe like, don't turn off a needed feature for no reason.
They hate him for speaking the truth
It runs that whenever your pc goes idle. So it should happen if you ever leave your house for 15 minutes, or shower, or sleep. If you do none of those things for three days straight, then yeah, it might do that to you.
