Ghosting vs Burn-In: How Panel Quality Drives Image Retention Risk
Ghosting (temporary LCD persistence) and burn-in (permanent OLED damage) both erode clinical trust. Lower-quality panels need harder drive, age unevenly, and retain static UI sooner. Control the chain: medical-grade IPS, luminance stabilization, AR-bonded optics, ambient-light compensation, clean 12G-SDI/HDMI 4:4:4, and QA logs. Tie luminance to room lux and validate multi-view. Manage stress—not just brightness.
