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.
Having had plasma,led,lcd tv’s and now oled I too would love an option for hud transparency or any static graphic for that matter. I made the transition awhile ago to gaming monitors for gaming For just these reasons.
. Just to clarify burn in is permanent damage to the screen elements, retention is the pixel retaining the image color which usually is not permanent. Coming from the plasma era burn in was a dirty word, my Magnavox 60 got it from the old Star Wars battlefront. Big Death Star circle middle of the screen. Boy was I pissed.
@Koochi-Q the only reason you don’t see it is because your teammates leave the game right away after dying landing at train station. Their information isn’t on your hud long enough.
