# OLED Longevity ## Summary OLED is still a relatively new display panel technology and one that is evolving. Many of us have experience with IPS panels now for 25+ years and have developed a sense of how they will work over time. For my part, I keep my IPS panels on 24/7 and have not noticed any color degradation. With OLED we don't have the same intuition and so we are naturally worried about how long they will last. ## Conclusions? Personally, I don't think enough time has passed to clearly take a position on OLED longevity. So I am very careful about turning off my OLED panels whenever I am not actively using them. ## Resources [Monitors Unboxed - Deliberately Burning In My QD-OLED Monitor - 18 Month Update](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whuHuM9h88M) 2025-09-09 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
