Hi All, I read the technical paper of SGCD and learnt that the LCD used is OLED panel, so the question is: will the panel have the burnt-in images ( or image retention) if they display for long ? the volume number can be vary since we change up to the source level, but the phase, PCM 44.1 , filter …

I am aware of only one screen issue as covered in this thread: [image] P20 display BEWARE Power Components Because of where my P20 is placed, I can’t see the display. I tend to keep the display off, but I noticed that it was on and for long enough that the image is burned…

Yes, I learnt my lesson from a Naim Uniti 2 some 7 years back. I left the display on for a few days during the summer, and I burnt little spots in the display. They are not nice looking. From that moment on, I dim all screens right after turning my system on. Display comes back momentarily when …

Being that sensitive to screen burn says to me it is not a useful technology, I am surprised it is used at all (not just by PSA, but by anyone). I guess selling them bankrolls the next gen of less burn-prone displays?

You shouldn’t have a problem with this particular OLED we use as it’s rated for several million hours.

I didn’t think about this issue. I don’t have a SGCD (or any DAC for that matter) but I had no idea audio equipment had OLDED displays. Thanks for the info on the issue.

The appearance of the OLED display is a part of the Stellar Gain Cell DAC I used to like a lot. You can set the brightness and also it will turn black after a while and light up as soon as you touch a control. It only won’t show you the file format or nitrate appropriately on the digital inputs.

With the main display of the SGCD being one color and the fact that the display dims automatically, I would not have any concern about burn-in.

I set it 10 seconds, sometime it works , sometime it does’nt. Not sure why
