    Exactly, and because the rest is off you’ll notice it earlier. It still depends on how long those pixels are on though. The longer they’re on the more they degrade.

    If the whole display is on all of the pixels would degrade eventually, but you’ll notice it less because they all degrade.

      If you have the same pixels on all the time then yes you’d have faster burn in. However, since you’d be looking at different text, this degradation would be spread over the different pixels. Not uniformly, but good enough that it doesn’t matter for practical usage.
