Screen burn?

[kilbaine6]

I've put a couple of hours into this game and if i pause for a few minutes, my screen starts to burn the pause menu image into my screen. Using recommended settings. Game runs fairly smooth for the first week of it being out. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm enjoying the game so far, I just don't want to roast my screen for it lol


Specs: Alienware M18 R1, RTX 4070, I9 13900HV, 64 GB ram, 3.7 TB storage

Sounds like you have a monitor dying or a failing gfx card

I'm on an oled monitor and haven't noticed anything.

Haven't had any issues and my monitor is like 8 years old lol

Screen burn happens with CRT monitors in the phosphor OR plasma TVs Highly unlikely in a led based flat screen.

It just seems odd that I'm only getting it on this specific game if it is a failing screen or GPU. That being said, anything is possible nowadays. I'll continue playing and see what happens for now

Guys, i have an alienware m15 r16, rtx 3070, 64gb, and my screen has shown this burn in image. But only on STALKER 2. I Left it open running GTA, COD, BODY CAM, DEAD ISLAND, HELLDIVER, all of them did nothing to my screen, but in STALKER 2, if i leave on pause menu for like, 2 mins, it already starts showing the burnt image. Strange, and never saw that.

Okay, well at least I'm not the only one. I'm still getting it for now. I just turn down my brightness when I have to walk away. I feel like I shouldn't have to do that though lol

I don't get screen burn, but I do get really bad ghosting. I just assumed it was due to my GPU being like 5 years old.

I had the ghosting effect when I was in Sircaa mission for a short time, exiting to game menu and continue fixed it, it looked like Ambient Occlusion was just bugging out, not anything to do with the screen

no screen burn on mine ROG STRIX XG258Q its like 7 years old at this point

Interesting, I'll have to look into that.

Screen burn is also a very bad habit of oled monitors. Regardless of what manufacturers tell you.

If you take a look at monitor and tv reviews from places like rtings.com or the like, you'll see that oled especially has a habit of suffering burn in.

Mini led monitors however very rarely suffer the same fate because they don't use organic materials which are prone to degradation from static images displayed for long periods; however, they may still experience temporary image retention in certain situations.

Take a look at your monitor number and then do a review search and a reddit search for user reviews including the words burn in or image retention. You'll find that nearly everything has the ability to do so. I've had to repair an unknown amount of monitors in my life to know that this is basically an issue for every single monitor out.

Might be some flashy color videos on youtube (Plasma OLED Screen Burn Fix) to help lessen the result? Might be other ways to help lessen/fix it?
