{% hint style="danger" %}
OLED Image Retention or Burn-In: \
\
Burn-in and image retention are possible on virtually any display.  \
\
Most cases of burn-in in OLED displays are a result of static images or on-screen elements displaying on the screen uninterrupted for many hours or days at a time – with brightness typically at peak levels. \
\
To mitigate this, we would recommend not to have your Looking Glass 16" display connected to your computer if you are not showing any moving content for hours at a time.&#x20;
