I have game mode (low latency) on all the time, and I even run the screen in dark room mode (ISF) because it's more accurate colors and it's also dimmer for the dark room/theater experience I go for, so that should actually be very gentle on the screen compared to * settings like vivid. I use the screen refresher frequently to reduce how long it takes to get rid of the image retention.
We aren't leaving the game on some menu or anything, it is just the fact that the HUD has so much pure, opaque white elements right up against opaque black elements that are always static (no HUD sway or dimming, etc) that it causes image retention very quickly when you play for several hours every day. It shows up in about 2 weeks and then takes a week or so of not playing Apex to get it to go away.
I exclusively game on my TV and this is the first game to have an issue like this.
@BlackKnight6No Idea if it would even phase it but I had a plasma screen mess up years ago and there was this thing i forget the name that you just played on it for so many hours just a plain screen that flashes snd changes colors white blue red green etc and it fixed it in certain situations depending on how bad the burn in is

This is an example, 8 hours not saying its guarenteed to work but I did something similiar in the past
That is the screen refresher. My two previous plasmas and now my OLED have it built-in. The week following the image retention from Apex, I used that feature for HOURS to speed up the recovery, sometimes even overnight. Still took over a week to eliminate it.
That's my point of this thread. 2 weeks of heavy Apex gameplay and then I need a week of not playing Apex, playing other games/content instead AND leave it refreshing overnight to get rid of Apex's HUD starting to show as image retention.
