You cases (BotW, GT Sport, Mario) is completely normal. People put a lot of hours on those games and the HUD is mostly static. A lot of people normally watch several hours of the same channel, so the logo test is reasonable. Sports too. Those numbers are all doable, I have to agree that this test is not extreme, it is not a torture test. It's above average for sure, but even if normal usage takes 10 times longer to achieve the same effect, this test did it in less than 2 months. Hell, even if it takes 20 times longe that is not even 4 years and I don't think people plan to buy 1K dollar TVs every 4 years. PSVR needs the OLED because of the low image persistence. But it also isn't really something that has to last a decade like a TV. And you also don't use your PSVR 4 hours per day, so that attenuates the issue. |
Hah, you don't know me, it's more like 5 hours per day with Skyrim :p Yet you never hold your head exactly in the same place and even if you could the system has inherent drift and turns off when you take the headset off. Also 2D content is displayed on a virtual screen so not fixed on the physical screen. And yeah, definitely not planning to use it for a decade. Yet after very heavy use in the last year, I do have the slight suspicion the colors aren't quite as dazzlingly bright anymore as when playing Thumper last year. The lenses show wear too of course.
Anyway this defense of logos aren't on all the time, prevent it by turning it off frequently or vary with different content, all doesn't matter. The damage is cumulative and progresses steadily. It's simply inherent wear in the technology. Better not have any favorite game or channel as eventually it will start to show.
