If you are a fan of video games and your TV is on for long hours, you are exposed to your screen suffering from this failure.

Those who are most exposed to this problem are those who use the TV as a monitor for the computer, because in this mode, static images are constantly displayed, such as the starter bar or wallpaper, for example.

Forget the Burn-In

Currently with technological advances, televisions are becoming less prone to screens. In fact, thanks to Quantum Dot QLED TVs from Samsung, you can forget about this problem because they require no engraving guaranteed for 10 years, thus ensuring a long life and a better image.
