[Chanel News] Pixel 2 xl screen burn-in is real, google 'actively investigating' the problem By News Chanel

Consternation surrounding the display in the Google Pixel to Excel is well known. At this point, and, to be honest, most of it has been pretty overblown, but we have something new to talk about now. Screen burning, it's something people with O, LED screens worry about to varying degrees and something people who prefer LCD's like to poke fun about. But one of our pixel to excel review units in use for about a week is already seeing some pretty crazy levels of burning viewing a gray image on the screen. You get a clearer look at where the navigation bar has started to settle in on the display. You also, interestingly, see the portions of pixels, where the back home and recent buttons go.

Those don't seem to be burned in themselves, displaying white instead of black, but the outlines clearly show where they are compared to the black portion that's burned in or that maybe some optical trickery and the buttons are burned in we're just not sure what we're seeing here. So as a quick refresher, what is burning screen? Burning happens when a portion of the display has the same imagery long enough to cause a ghost image of it to hang around after you change the screen to display something else. It's usually most noticeable in the notification shader status bar the clock is notorious for burning in, but it can also happen with navigation buttons or even home screen icons. It's usually an issue with o LED panels and usually takes a good few months before it starts to show up. There is also a phenomenon called image.

Retention, image, retention or ghosting is a part of the screen. Staying barely visible, even after you've moved away and have something new on the display, like burning, this usually happens with buttons or icons, but anything on your display can leave a ghost image if it's static and done long enough image retention is usually associated with LCD panels and plenty of people with an LG, g6 or LG v.20 have noticed it. Thankfully image retention is temporary and will go away on its own after a short time. At first glance, what we see looks more like screen burning than image retention. Well, burning is more often associated with o LED and image retention is associated with LCD.

There is crossover, and you could see either issue on any type of display, as more reports come in and more people have examples to share. The problem can hopefully be pinpointed how to check your screen. It can be difficult to see screen burned because we usually have so much information on our screens. Here's a quick test. You can do to check your phone open this article in a web browser on your phone click and open each of these thumbnails and view the images full screen check the bottom of your screen, where the navigation buttons normally appear and check the notifications areas, especially around the clock, for a faint ghost image of any screen, elements that were left behind, screen burn of either type can be barely noticeable or it can be distinct and in-your-face.

Using a black or red background is the best way to see it, but you still may need to look very closely. What should you do? This particular pixel to excel, as we said, has only been in use for about a week each day, seeing about three hours of time with the screen on. We don't want to jump to the conclusion that this is indicative of how all pixel two excels will age, and we sure hope it that isn't the case after tweeting out the image. Earlier today, we started to get a few replies indicating that others were seeing the same type of burning after similar periods, though after reaching out to Google, with our concerns, a spokesperson replied with the following statement, saying that the company is aware of the concerns surrounding this issue and is investigating it if you're seeing screen burning on a pixel, ?
