Nintendo reassures fans worried about Burn-In on Switch OLED Model

We get an interesting message related to the new Nintendo Switch model recently announced: Nintendo Switch OLED Model. This is information provided directly by Nintendo.

In the text that you have below, we can find official statements of the company in relation to Burn-In. This is a problem that screens suffer if they are designed to show the same static image for long enough and that can appear on telephones, televisions, or any other device with a screen.

In an interview, the officials said:

We have designed the OLED screen to aim for longevity as much as possible, but OLED screens can experience image retention if subjected to static images for a long period of time.

However, users can take preventative measures to preserve the screen by using the features included on Nintendo Switch systems by default, such as the auto-brightness feature to prevent the screen from getting too bright and the auto-sleep feature to go into automatic sleep mode after short periods of time.

As you can see, it seems that their position on this is the same as with the standard model. In addition, it should be noted that the Nintendo Switch screen does not display fixed interfaces for long periods of time (unless we play a game for long periods of time that displays a fixed interface), so this issue is also reduced compared to other devices such as mobile devices, which for example always display the battery icon and other interface elements.
