OLED Burn-In Test - Check Image Retention Online
Run a free OLED burn-in test with gray and solid-color screens. Check phones, monitors and TVs for persistent UI marks, image retention and uneven panel wear.
Quick answer
An OLED burn-in test uses gray and color screens to help spot fixed interface marks, image retention and uneven wear.
Method: ScreenTestKit generates the test surface in your browser. Results depend on visual inspection; the site does not read or diagnose physical panel hardware.
How to use this test
- Use moderate brightness and do not leave any static test screen running longer than needed.
- Check mid-gray, white and primary colors fullscreen.
- Look for fixed marks from status bars, subtitles, logos, taskbars or game HUDs.
- Repeat after normal content or a built-in panel refresh if your device provides one.
What to watch for
- Faint shapes that match previous static UI elements.
- Uneven gray patches or color tint in areas that should be smooth.
- Marks that fade after varied content, which may be temporary retention.
- Marks that remain after rest or refresh, which are more concerning.
How to interpret results
Temporary mark
If it fades after varied content or rest, it is more consistent with image retention.
Persistent fixed mark
If it remains in the same place across colors, document it and check warranty or service options.
Uniformity issue
Run gray screen and screen uniformity tests to separate burn-in from dirty screen effect.
