WiiM App in Apple TV with Oled TV. Burn Protection.

[Nachogo]

Hi all.

I use the WiiM app in Apple TV a lot, and I see that the little icons in top left (streaming service) and top right (the time and WiiM logo) are always, with other element like stream quality info, always there with no change in color nor in position. Can it be problematic using an Oled TV?, I mean, during long period of listening time (let’s say an hour or more) can it cause burning in the Oled panel?

Maybe, can WiiM ad an option in settings to let these elements hide or change position or color after a certain amount of time ( let’s say 5 minutes) -maybe leaving just the the actual cover and background color, that change when albums change- to avoid the burning risk in Oled Panels?

Please.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Smart thinking. (I can't answer if a oled tv can burn in)

This is a very reasonable request. For a timebeing I would suggest you switch app to Night Mode (the crescent icon at the right bottom section of the Now Playing screen) - it changes the view to (very elegant!) black background AS WELL AS dims the screen significantly, which should much reduce the burn-in risk. I also manually adjusted one of the profiles (in my case: eco) to further reduce the brightness and I use it with WiiM Home App (I needed this anyway as I wanted to have quite dimmed screen for night listening). I believe that with such combo the risk would be quite minimal, especially as nowadays those OLEDs seem to be quite resilient (my first one of 2016 (B6) was terrible, the other one (C9) I bought in 2020 I kept for 5 years with no problems, the new one (G4) from this year would likely be even better?).
