TV has screen burn-in from static images
Screen burn-in happens when one image stays on an OLED or Plasma TV too long. Some burn-in fades on its own, but permanent damage can't be fixed. Stop using that image now and try pixel-shifting or moving the image around to help fade it.
OLED and Plasma TVs show burn-in when a still image displays for too long. The pixels get tired and don't refresh properly. Your TV's warranty covers this if it happened within the coverage period, but if it's been months, the damage is permanent. The best you can do now is prevent new burn-in by not letting the same image sit still for hours.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Thinking pixel-shifting will fix old burn-in. It only works on fresh burn-in that appeared in the last day or two
- Continuing to use the image that caused the burn-in. This makes the damage permanent much faster
- Assuming any burn-in is covered by warranty. Most warranties exclude burn-in damage
Signs you need professional help
- The burn-in is visible and has been there for more than a week. Get in touch if you want to discuss repair options
