10% lit pixels or 10% brightness
How to distinguish whether it is necessary to provide 10% of the pixels burning (apply a mask). For example, how can I programmatically distinguish Venu and Epix Pro 42mm?

You could solve this in code by getting the CIQ version of the device:

var vciq = System.getDeviceSettings().monkeyVersion;
vciq = Lang.format("$1$$2$$3$",vciq).toNumber();

So everything equal or above 500 would work with the new lit pixel rule.

Probably cheaper to just check if the major version is greater or equal to 5

I would suggest using "System has DisplayMode" check to detect new burn-in rule vs old, also switching to the following new APIs exclusive for AMOLED screens for burn-in detection.

see

BTW, we are fixing the docs related to the DisplayMode.
