Mine downloaded in gaming mode for 16 hours straight yesterday and it didn’t have any burn in. Turned down the brightness to a bare minimum. Should’ve known that desktop mode is the way for extra long download sessions. 🤦

Unless you force the screen to stay on for months on a static screen you aren’t going to get burn in. Just use it. Don’t worry about it.

I downloaded a few large games and it ended up going into sleep mode once it was done downloading.

Regardless though, oled tech has came a long way and I wouldn’t worry about burn in. Look at bob wulf on you tube with his switch oled. It finally has burn in, but he left it on for 2 years on the same screen. I think he didn’t have any noticeable differences until a year if I recall correctly lol

Another option from the already mentioned ones, leave it docked while downloading

I don’t know what to make of your question… If you have heard of the term “burn in” and/or read it in some article somewhere, then you must also know that it would take at least twelve months or so of a static bright image for it to even be possible of happening.

It will be fine for 10hrs bud…

It would take a very very very long time to get burn in. Don’t worry.

Thanks for the helpful comments, im aware that it would be very difficult for burn in (i’ve used a OLED Switch for almost a year) just wanted to lean on the side of caution on my first night of owning the thing. i downloaded games in desktop mode and worked perfect, thank you :)
