Question to 965 users with more than 10-12 months of use (about Amoled screen)

Hello all,

I really love the MIP screen of my 955, but I look forward to the 965 from time to time.
I've had problems, with another brand, with AMOLED screens and I prefer to avoid them (burn-In, etc).
How goes 965 users fared with more than 10-12 months of use? Do you detect any of these problems?

Thank you very much!

    Same here, no problems. But in all honesty, I don't use always-on-display, so I would have been very surprised if I had any burn-in after a year. I remember that there was a thread on the Epix 2 forum a couple of days ago where the poster had some burn-in after 2.5 years after using always-on most of the time.

    Amoled annoys the h.ll out of me, but not because of any burn in issues. The screen looks just as pretty as a year ago.

    Exactly the same for me.

    No problems at all here @ 14 months of use.

    I'll add that originally I was also worried about the fact that the 965 screen is raised slightly above the bezel, so I installed a film screen protector. After one year, even the protector is almost pristine, so no worries there either. I also bought a cheap TPU case protector with raised bezel to be used while hiking, but I've often forgotten to take it and still have no scratches (knocks on wood).

    Always on during the day, in use since July 2023, no issues at all.

    One thing that works very well ;-)

    There are no longer burn-in issues with AMOLED screens.  

    At first, I was thrilled at how bright, colorful and clear the screen was.  Could finally see the numbers with my aging eyes.  The screen adapts to ambient lighting, so- outdoors in full sun you can see it clearly, and indoors, it’s appropriate.  You can adjust screen brightness to a level 1, 2 or 3.  I have mine set to ‘2’ for Activities- so it’s a bit easier to read, and ‘1’ for normal use so it’s a bit less obtrusive and looks closer to a MIPS experience.  The Always On Display is nice- but does use more battery.  Although a little less so with lower brightness.
