They can.... which everyone bitched about: they would do their cleaning cycle, no matter if you were busy or not.

Then they should do it at another time...? Obviously?

    And thats why we have the warning that everyone bitches about: "Hey, the timer is up, but I'm not gonna make you do it, its just gonna wear the display out faster".

    Early OLEDs really did need to be pixel cleaned every 8 hours according to manufacturer estimates, the choice isn't have warning or not, its have a lifespan or not.

    I don't want to blame early adopters for being early adopters, but they early adopted, and this is the early adoption problem.

      I have an MSI OLED monitor, and if I accidentally turn it off (trying to find the input switcher), and then back on, it shows this warning.

      But it automatically runs when it's turned off. The warning is shown because I interrupted it running early.

      The warning, for my purposes, is completely useless, and only an annoyance. The automatic feature is more than enough, and I don't need to know if it was aborted early.

      Because the run a full blown OSes on monitors now, and for some reason it cannot figure out the simple "wait until you're off for at least 10 minutes to do the cycle instead of bothering the user at random intervals"
