So... they spent thousands of hours with a still frame of the negative of that image? And don't know his name? It doesn't even look like the TV is plugged in... burn-in doesn't show when a TV is off. It's based on the "pixels"(obviously more detailed than that, and varies depending on what tech the TV is) having used up more of the total lifespan of the colors that were on for so long. In the types of TVs that can burn in, the color elements of each pixel slowly darken the more they are used. Though, generally not evenly. Each color would have a different average life span. So the image wouldn't even burn in this clearly and would sort of hue shift, specifically away from blue, as it is pretty much always the color with the shortest life span.

Anyway, to sum up, bull shit, photoshopped.

I mean, pretty obviously fake. You can see the overlaid image bleeding off the edges of the TV frame into the background. Haha.

IDK about new TVs but CRTs can definitely show burn-in when off.

How long did they have that video paused to get that to happen with LEDs? (It's supposed to be a lot harder than on a CRT screen.)

It would have to be an OLED. You can't burn in an LED

Or Plasma, also known as a whole home heater.

[–] Tarquinn2049 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As far as I know, Plasmas never came this thin, not even sure they can be this thin without a major breakthrough in their underlying tech. The thinnest the display elements for plasma TVs ever got was one inch thick, and plasmas had alot of other necessary internals. So the shell of the TV itself was generally more than 1 inch thick. I don't think they ever did the thing that's common now with Oled and had all the internals bunched up in one little "bump" in the back with the rest of the shell just being as thin as the screen elements alone allow. But, even if there was a model that did that, it would still be one inch plus the thickness of the plastic walls.

Yarp, I've owned both and the best Plasma is 3-4 inches thick. Wouldn't take much to burn in a Plasma compared to the time it take for OLED.

[–] Anticorp 3 points 9 months ago

That's right, plasma too. I haven't seen a plasma TV in over a decade though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You can. Though it's more like uneven aging of the LCD panel. I have seen it a couple times where 4:3 content was played on the display exclusively.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

technically an OLED is a type of LED

[–] Anticorp 1 points 9 months ago

Only for the backlighting if I understand their functionality correctly.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

i see this as an absolute win

[–] taiyang 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is fake but I have a new idea for subtle revenge against someone with an OLED, like a roommate or something. Whenever they aren't home, turn their TV on, find a negative of something or someone awful (or creepy, like IDK, the Ring) and slowly burn it into the TV every day while they work or are otherwise away.

A few months of this and their TV will be cursed and your revenge for that one night when Stephen trimmed his toenails over the carpet will be complete.

Guess it's better than the guy who pranked his friend's plasma 50 inch with a gay porn burn in...
