Plex Music Player Can Cause Burn-in on OLED TV with Android

Post by Admin » Sun Jan 03, 2021 7:04 pm

If you are a Plex user and use it to listen to music it can cause screen burn-in on an OLED TV

This issue seems to affect Plex when used on Android TV media streamers like the 2019 Nvidia SHIELD Pro, and even on Android Smart TVs like the Sony Bravia.

Burn-in is a big issue with OLED technology. And it occurs when the TV shows a picture that is static for an extended period of time. What happens is you will see a faint image of the burned-in image, even when the screen changes or shows a blank screen.

For some reason, Plex chose not to show a screen saver when playing music. Instead, the picture is static, with no movement making an OLED television all the more susceptible to burn-in.

This occurs when using Player Version: Plex for Android TV 8.11.0.22186 and Plex really needs to do something to make this app either run a screen saver or play a short video in a loop even would help.

Just something to be careful about, because Santa may have brought you a new OLED TV for the holiday, and you will want it to last as long as possible. Because this technology still is not cheap. Plus, manufacturers won't cover screen burn-in under warranty, so it's something you will need to live with for as long as you own your OLED TV.
