So, i have been doing some reading, but cannot find any solid answers that really pertain to us.
Right now, our phone's screens are beautiful, but i am wondering how long we can expect them to stay that way. AMOLED suffers from two (potential) issues -
1) Burn in
2) Pixel fading
In regards to #1, it is a worry given how static some of the things on our screens are, like the top right chunks of the notifcation bar. The 3G icon, signal bars, and time (especially AM/PM) don't change that much, and seem like a good candidate for burn-in. In reading, i think i even found a few people that said the "M" in AM/PM was already burning in. Short of rooting, is there anything that can change the bar to help it avoid burn in?
In regards to two, i know that the AMOLED pixels will fade over time, especially blue first. Is there any documentation on just how long these Sammy OLED's will actually last? I have a feeling that personally, it should last the lifetime of the phone (hopefully a year, if not two), but I cant help but be curious...
