Image Persistance - While using Console commands

[Joe]

Just a warning to people using console commands on Oblivion Remastered. I was on the quest called Allies For Bruma. The Leyawiin part. When i closed the Oblivion gate i closed the wrong one so i thought to use console commands to finish that part of the quest so when i tried the movetoquest console command i got stuck in an invisible Oblivion Gate and could not get out of the Mesh, so i tried the Toggle Collision command and after that i got Image Persistance on my new Monitor. Please be aware of using console

That's not how burn in works. If you damaged your monitor that was from another issue, but games can't push out anything but a code (i.e. RGB values) which comes from the GPU, no game is going to be able to cause damage to a monitor like that unless left on a mostly still image for a significant amount of time, which would be what burn in actually is...

was gonna say burn in is caused by leaving your monitor on for an extended period of time on a set image with high contrast, (it doesn't even need to be high contrast it's just more apparent if it is,)

OP burned their own monitor by leaving the screen on the bugged visual for too long.

this is what screen savers are for.

I thought it only happened on OLED'S. I was not even on the console command screen for 2 minutes

Try getting burn in of the Starfield wallpaper like I did, now thats an accomplishment.

nah it happens in old timey CRT screens too.

it's really just non cumulitive use of the screen, meaning you leave your screen on 100% of the time and so the pixels get "burned" and eventually will take on the ghosted images of things they are left on for longer periods.

set up a screen saver.

I was playing the game for about 10 minutes and not in one place for that long. Just happened when using console commands. I am scared to use console commands now. What Monitor will be best going forward

You absolutely cannot get screen burn-in just by using console commands like movetoquest or tcl in Oblivion Remastered. These commands only affect in-game logic and have no way of damaging your monitor or causing burn-in.

Screen burn-in happens when the same static image (like a HUD, logo, or game scene) stays on the screen for a very long time, especially at high brightness usually on OLED or similar display types. It’s caused by pixel wear, not by software commands.

If you got burn-in, it was likely from leaving a bright, static scene (like a stuck Oblivion gate) on screen too long (for 100+ hours or more) not because of the command itself.

Let’s keep the advice helpful and fact-based.

first it not technically burn in burn in

burn in happens to CRTs when the electron beam keeps hitting one part of the phosphorus screen so long it actually burns the phosphorus making it so it dose not light up like the reso of the screen

or to some rear projections that sued lasers thy could burn the projection screen causing making it harder for light to go threw

OLED actually get burn out ware the part of the OLED panel that has a image left on it causes that part of the panel to die just slightly faster then the rest of the screen making it darker then the rest

and LCD/plasma do not get burn in or burn out but thy can have image retention and that's just a temporary phenomenon where a faint trace of a previously displayed image remains visible on an LCD screen especially after displaying a static image for an extended period

[Joe]

I was only at the stuck gate for a few minutes while moving around though. So why would it have the console command image burned into my screen. It is not burn in of the oblivion gate anyway

[Heavy is the crown]

if you're using an LCD monitor you don't get burn in you get image retention and it's not permanent. if you have image retention check youtube for some videos on getting rid of it. Very simple. OLEDS are different and suffer burn in.

Did you restart your monitor and pc?
Burn in does not happen in a couple of minutes. Neither in a couple of hours. It takes quite an extensive amount of time to burn in occur.

Burn-In could also happen on some early LCD displays. But that wasnt a burn-in in the classic sense and could be fixed with some random noise (an image with random black / white pixels or color pixels for a few minutes).

Also no, no console commands, no bugs, no game no whatever software can cause burn-ins and especially not that quick.

Only showing the same image for an extensive period of time can on some screens.

So what you experience is probably something else, I could think about several things.

Some driver / (third party / background) software drawing an overlay or something with some old content. This should be fixed by just a restart of the computer and has nothing to do with your screen. If a restart doesnt fix it, its something with your screen.

Another option could be if you are still using an old CRT monitor (do you, really? Because almost no one has some anymore). But in that case its not a burn-in but some magnetization. Most screens had a button or a function accesible via a menu to do a de-magnetization (the screen will shake). And if its THAT old that it doesnt have such a function, you might try with a strong magnet around the screen (it can make it worse or better so try on your own risk).

But in any case if you really are using a CRT then maybe you should think about an upgrade. The image quality should be absolutely bad because the colors wear off over time and in the colors are probably already worse than what the worst screen you can buy can produce...

Not sure if those things can happen with plasma screens, too but as far as I know that technology was only used for TVs not computer monitors.

Another thing could be that your monitor just got broke (but 100% not because of the game!)

As much as I enjoy bashing Bethesda for pushing out one low-effort-project after another: This sounds more like it's been an issue with your screen. For me it sounds like you got a defective one. It's not normal for a modern screen to get a burn-in from a gaming session like that.

Thanks by the way for all the help and understanding. I have a BenQ EX2710Q. I will found out the technical term for it is image retention not Burn in. It has gone down much more over time but there are ways to try and reverse this like not using the screen for a few hours or even using a white image for a while to reset the pixels
