To be perfectly clear, it took one (1) grand prix worth of play time on my monitor to make this happen. I’ve had my Acer Predator monitor for years with no burn-in from anything, and ~10 minutes with F-Zero caused this. Anyone else, or am I just unlucky?
Persistent ghosting is always a factor on IPS displays, although your example looks a little pronounced than most. I have a Thinkpad with an IPS display and its ghosting is atrocious with specific color combinations: Dark greens and vibrant purples, if left static on the screen for a while. It should not be permanent, and causes no harm other than irritating you. I can get my screen to show slowly fading remnants of an image for upwards of 3 or 4 minutes, if I try hard enough. It gets more pronounced when the panel is hot.
I suspect this game happened to find the sweet (or sour) spot in the combination of foreground and background in the color gamut where image persistence is most noticeable on your particular panel. It should go away on its own after a few minutes, especially if you display something constantly changing with a wide luminosity variance (like a video) in that spot.
Yep, it’s an IPS monitor. I think your comment is right on the money. I noticed it starting to fade shortly after I posted. I’m just surprised how quickly it happened. I’ve had UI elements static on screen for hours with nothing noticeable. I suspect it has to do with the way the vehicles “vibrate” in this game. The constant switching on and off of that part of the display could have made it happen faster.
I have IPS panels on my PC and it got into a shitty sleep/wake loop when I was away (I fucking blame discord!) and as it was going to sleep it had some distorted pixels right in the middle of the screen that persisted across reboot. I thought I had fried my GOU somehow; good to know IPS panels can behave this way
No - this is image retention, not burn in. Can happen with flashing objects such as the map in F Zero Advance if you emulate it on a display without adaptive blur.
