Burn-In Test
Check your display for visible burn-in and image retention.
Look for faint logos, text, icons, bars, or patches that remain visible or appear different from the surrounding area.

About this test
Image retention vs burn-in
Temporary image retention can fade after a short time or after showing other content. Permanent burn-in is persistent and does not normally disappear with ordinary content. This visual test cannot confirm permanent burn-in - it only helps you spot what is visible.
What this test does not do
It does not measure panel age, pixel degradation, OLED lifespan, or burn-in severity, and it does not analyze uniformity. Uniformity has a separate tool.
What can affect what you see
Brightness, viewing conditions, panel type, and prior usage (how long a static image was shown) can all change how retention appears.
Tip
Check at your normal brightness, view straight on, and avoid leaving a static bright image on screen for a long time just to test.
Your screen stays on your device. The test runs entirely in your browser.
What is Burn-In Test?
A burn-in test shows flat colors and simple patterns so you can look for faint outlines that stay on the screen. Temporary retention may fade after you show other content, while true burn-in does not. This test only shows what is visible - it cannot prove permanent burn-in.
FAQ
Burn-In Test FAQ
01How do I check my screen for burn-in?
Use fullscreen solid colors and gray patterns and look for logos, text, bars, or other shapes that remain visible when the background changes.
02What does screen burn-in look like?
It can appear as a faint, persistent outline or patch that stays in the same place across different images.
03What is the difference between burn-in and image retention?
Image retention is usually temporary and may disappear after the display shows different content. Burn-in refers to a persistent change that does not go away.
04Can this test tell if my screen has permanent burn-in?
It can help you spot visible marks, but a browser test cannot by itself confirm whether a mark is permanent.
05Does burn-in happen on OLED screens?
OLED displays can develop permanent uneven wear from prolonged static content. LCD displays can experience other forms of image persistence, but the underlying mechanism is different.
06Can screen burn-in be fixed?
Temporary image retention may disappear over time, but permanent burn-in generally cannot be reversed by a browser test or software.
07Is it safe to run a burn-in test?
Yes, but avoid leaving bright static patterns on the screen for long periods. Use the test to inspect the display rather than leaving a static image running unnecessarily.
