A test of the Nintendo Swich OLED’s screen has detected slight burn-in – but only after a mammoth 3600-hour experiment.
YouTuber Bob “WulffDen” Wulff has spent the past five months subjecting a Switch OLED to the same image, taken from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (thanks, ArsTechnica).
The good news? It’s taken 3600 hours for any burn-in to become noticeable. That’s 150 days sat on the same image almost entirely without breaks – something you’ll never need to do yourself under normal conditions.

Even now, 3600 hours later, Wulff says the burn-in is only slight – showing the ghost of the image he had forced his Switch to display. Further testing will now take place to determine how long is needed to fully destroy the screen.
