How to Test Your Screen for Burn-In
Click the fullscreen button or press F. The test works best when the entire screen is filled with a single color.
Press Space, tap the screen, or use arrow keys to switch between 9 solid colors. Look for faint outlines or discolored areas.
Switch to pattern mode to see outlines of common burn-in zones (status bar, nav bar, keyboard). Compare these against any retention you noticed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is screen burn-in?
Burn-in is permanent discoloration on a display caused by static images shown for long periods. It is most common on OLED and AMOLED screens where individual pixels degrade at different rates. The most frequent burn-in areas are the status bar, navigation bar, and keyboard.
How do I know if my screen has burn-in?
Display a solid gray or white color in fullscreen and look for faint outlines, shadows, or discolored patches. Burn-in is usually most visible on mid-tone colors like gray. If you see ghost images of your status bar or keyboard, your screen has burn-in.
Can burn-in be fixed?
True burn-in on OLED screens is permanent pixel degradation and cannot be reversed. However, image retention (temporary ghosting) on LCD screens usually fades on its own after displaying varied content. Running a white screen for several hours may help with mild retention.
Does this test work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Open the test in your mobile browser and tap the fullscreen button. Swipe left or right to cycle colors. The burn-in pattern overlay is optimized for typical phone screen layouts.
Is burn-in covered by warranty?
Warranty coverage for burn-in varies by manufacturer. Most consider burn-in as normal wear and do not cover it. Samsung, Apple, and Google have different policies — check your device warranty terms for specifics.
