What We See in the Workshop

At EziRepair, we replace dozens of OLED panels each month where shadows built up slowly over time.
Most cases could have been prevented with simple daily adjustments — lowering brightness, using auto-lock, and avoiding static home screens.
These steps alone can prevent screen burn-in NZ and extend the display’s usable life significantly.

Expert OLED Care Tips

• Use auto-brightness so your display adapts to lighting conditions.
• Switch to dark mode — OLED pixels use less power displaying black.
• Avoid static images; move widgets and icons periodically.
• Enable auto-lock to turn off your screen faster when idle.
• Reduce always-on display brightness if your phone supports it.

Following these OLED care tips will help prevent screen burn-in NZ and keep your phone display looking new for years.
