It's not 'how tech works'. It's how corporations constantly cram more and more annoying 'features' into their product and you guys still keep taking it. I mean it would work just as good if instead of forcing an update, it would create a pop-up 10 minutes prior to refresh that you can postpone for 1 - 3 hours if now it's not the best time.
And why does it even have to be in the companies hands to decide how often I should refresh my screen. Don't other OLED manufacturers simply release guidelines instead of taking you from your work / gaming like that? I mean imagine you're in an important ZOOM meeting and your monitor suddenly decides to refresh itself. That wouldn't be nice, would it?
It’s how THE tech works. As in OLED… they are prone to burn in with static images so this is a “feature” to combat that and have your investment last longer. What would be shitty is no software to combat it and a short warranty.
It’s not that deep bro
The other commenter is wrong. It doesn't force you to do anything. It automatically runs whenever your computer goes idle and turns the screens off. So if you sleep, shower, or leave the house for more than 15-20 minutes, it'll do it while you're gone. 0 intrusion. I'm redditing in the shower right now and I'm sure my monitor did its thing while I was in here shaving and showering. It's genuinely a complete non-issue if you don't use your monitor at an extreme use case like forcing them to stay on for days at a time with no sleep or idle whatsoever (in which case you probably shouldn't use OLED).
I don't own the monitor, but the middle of the in-game boss fight doesn't sound like computer being idle to me.
Also do you own AN OLED MONITOR? Or the same Samsung model as the guy from the clip?
I have a Samsung QD-OLED. In order to not have that happen, you need to simply let your pc idle (where it stops sending signal to the screens and they go black) for more than ten minutes just once in that three day span.
So, yes, if you're hooking up a catheter, getting food delivered directly to your face, never sleeping, and never standing up for a 73 hour marathon, do not get an OLED. If you're having this problem and you aren't doing that, there's something seriously weird with how you use your PC.
Still, it shouldn't run like that without any way to postpone it. Coz - see my argument above - what if at this very moment you're doing sth really important?
Three days, my dude. I listed an absurd scenario because that's what it takes to cause this to happen. I'm 100% going to victim blame here because he sounds like a guy who gets mad that his car runs out of gas but refuses to let anyone fill it up.
Sorry but I'm gonna take some burn-in over screwing up my important zoom call. Even if it's coz monitor didn't manage to enter standby mode in the last 3 days
If you actually never let your monitors or computer sleep 24/7, do not buy an OLED. There, I made it easy for you. If your monitor sleeps for even 10 minutes a day, then you'll never have a problem. Like that's way off at the end of the bell curve. If you're that heavy of a user, you should already know that OLED isn't for you. And it's not like OLED is cheap, either, so you're not going to accidentally buy a $200 OLED monitor without realizing it doesn't fit your use case. They're in the highest price bracket for monitors, which is going to scare away casual users regardless.
Also why you riding Samsung OLEDs so hard today? Is it buyers remorse or what?
"If you actually never let your monitors or computer sleep 24/7, do not buy an OLED."
What if I'm a super rich streamer like the guy above? And it's the first time I'm hearing about an OLED manufacturer forcing a pixel refresh like that btw, even tho OLED has been around for over a decade at this point.
Why is it always people who have no idea what they are talking about pretending like they know what they are talking about. You are the same exact person who would be crying about burn in and how corporations do that on purpose to make you a new monitor.
