Fearin' thine PC monitor be gettin' scorched, matey? Worry not, for LG be providin' a two-year warranty to keep ye troubles at bay! Trust 'em to protect ye treasure!
LG Electronics has clarified its policy on burn-in for its OLED monitors, offering a two-year warranty that covers burn-in for its gaming displays. The warranty applies to both existing and future purchases of the LG 27GR95QE-B monitor, as long as it is used for its intended purpose of gaming and desktop computing in a residential setting. The warranty does not cover burn-in resulting from improper usage or misuse and abuse.This clarification is good news for those concerned about burn-in on OLED monitors, as it provides peace of mind for buyers. While burn-in is less common with modern panels, it remains a worry for some people. LG's clear warranty terms address this concern and demonstrate the company's commitment to providing a reliable product.
However, The Verge notes that other monitor manufacturers do not explicitly cover burn-in in their warranties. Despite LG Display and Samsung Display offering a burn-in warranty to monitor manufacturers, this coverage is not always passed on to the end customer. Acer and Asus, for example, do not officially cover burn-in in their warranties, although Acer has stated that its customer care team may assist with rare cases of burn-in free-of-charge.
The Verge is waiting for clarification from Asus regarding its warranty coverage, and it is hoped that all monitor manufacturers will eventually agree to explicitly cover burn-in to provide full assurance to buyers. LG Electronics' example sets a precedent for the industry and highlights the importance of addressing customer concerns.
