What do I do if my Samsung screen is burned in?

Screen burn-in on your Samsung smartphone can be very annoying, as part of a previously viewed screen remains on the glass.
This makes it increasingly difficult to view things properly on your phone.
Unfortunately, this cannot be fixed without replacing the screen, though there are some tips to reduce this.

• Play with the brightness
• Use the screen timeout
• Avoid static images
• Use the dark theme

Play with the brightness

Try to keep the brightness nice and low whenever possible, as high brightness can cause more screen burn-in.
So keeping this brightness low will prolong the life of the screen.

Use the screen timeout

To ensure that the screen is not on the same static screen for too long, it is also good to set the screen timeout.
This way, the device turns the screen to black after a few minutes, and you minimize the chance of burn-in.

Avoid static images

Try to avoid static images, such as app icons or the same background, as much as possible.
Otherwise, by displaying the same thing on the screen for a long time, there is a faster chance of burn-in.

Use the dark theme

Since high screen brightness causes your screen to burn in, it is also useful to set a dark theme.
This lowers the brightness and makes the (often bright) white areas of the device darker more often.
In addition, it is possible to enable the device’s night mode, then the colors are changed to somewhat warmer tones.
This helps prevent screen burn-in, and helps you fall asleep a little more comfortably!
