Screen burn-in

[Mtj22938]

I have a 2021 Y and after the Christmas update (2021) I’ve noticed the bottom left of the screen now has the “alert” oval burnt into the screen.

Anyone else seeing this?

Haven't noticed, but now I need to look. If this is happening, I can't imagine it is an isolated case, and could spell some serious doom for Tesla if they have to replace screens in thousands of M3/MYs after the Christmas update due to screen burn-in.

Can you post a photo?

Interesting. While OLED screens are prone to burn-in, my understanding is that LED screens were not.

I doubt this is burnin. As Wug said LED don't burn in. I'm guessing its an actual graphical artifact being displayed.

correct LED screens do not exhibit burn in. The LED is either on, or off.

No burn in should happen, as others have explained but please post a picture and we can check it for you.

By the way...this is an automotive grade panel that is tested to withstand the harsh environments of a vehicle (vibration, always on, and extreme temperatures) so it would be surprising to see burn in on this and since it's an LCD panel, highly unlikely.

I posted this phenomenon in the holiday thread. I have that same oval "burn in" as well as a circle burn in mark that appears about a car-length in front of the vehicle when driving. They are both very very faint but noticeable if you stare up close. I've tried to reboot the display and it doesn't help. I'm in the agreement this is a screen artifact when the UI people "saved" the graphics/background for the visualization screen.

My car has the 44.30 update pending - I will upgrade later and see if that fixes it.

I just noticed today that I'm also getting the circle "burn in" in front of the car. Any idea if the update fixed the issue or if it is a hardware issue i.e. actual burn in?

After I upgraded the SW to v2021.44.30 the burn in artifacts went away both in Light and Dark modes.

All screens have burn in, doesnt matter if it is LCD, OLED, Plasma or CRT. They all do it.

Yeah, but it's usually really minor and temporary on LCDs. Crystals spinning in the liquid can tend to set in one orientation if left there too long, but usually only slightly, and often reversible.

Look at my newfound wikipedia expertise, can I has cookie now?

Burn-in and image retention are two different things. Not all instances of image retention (temporary) are burn-in (permanent).

I've not seen burn in on any modern display aside from those left on at a restaurant 24x7, but I usually see full screen failure (or backlighting issues) and not burn in.

Regardless, it's doubtful it's burn in OR image retention. Strange that OP hasn't posted a photo. I'd like to see them open Netflix or something that takes up the whole screen and see if the image is retained in that portion -- unlikely.

We have a 25" iMac at work on which someone disabled the screensaver and it's experienced some burn-in (or really prolonged image retention)
