A focused five-step check

  1. 01

    Use your normal brightness and picture mode.

  2. 02

    Inspect red, green, blue and low-grey fields for persistent silhouettes.

  3. 03

    Check 5%, 10% and 50% grey for tint and uniformity.

  4. 04

    Play varied normal content, then revisit any faint retention.

  5. 05

    Avoid leaving static test patterns on screen longer than needed.

GOOD TO KNOW

AnHot does not offer a “burn-in fixer” and cannot distinguish temporary retention from permanent wear.
