What is the reasonable lifetime of the Samsung HomoLED displays? I'm concerned about using the screensaver type of app like NoLED that moves some text and lights around the screen permanently when it is plugged in, as compared to the display being totally off after a few minutes. Is it safe to use them?

Did Samsung really release a technology called HomoLED? That might not be the best marketing strategy...

Storage is cool
Custom roms like Cyanogen use the back lights on the back and menu buttons of some Samsung phones as notification lights. That works pretty well on my Galaxy S and is probably preferable to something that has keep part of the CPU and graphics chip running to keep its notification going (especially if it's moving the notifications around).
Wikipedia says that OLEDs will dim to half their original brightness in about 14000 hours. I don't think that's incredibly recent though so it's probably somewhat longer for modern phone screens. In any case, over the expected lifetime of most phones I think you'd have to have some pixels lit something like 2/3rds of the time to see any significant differences. On the other hand if you tend to get messages or something as you're going to bed and don't check them until the morning then you're already maybe half way there.

Not really a
Tablets have LCD displays with LED backlights not OLED displays. For the most part only some phones have OLED displays.

For a phone? There is the potential for burn-in after extended static screens so best to have the display turn off when not in use, otherwise a screen saver type will be OK but prob cut in to your battery life.

Is no mod going to correct the title of this thread?

If Lunar's charming malapropisms were corrected, some of the flavor would be lost. We all know what homoleds and hibachis are.

I enjoy them as much as you do. But I think having one in the title may be a bit too much.
What is the issue with homogeneous or homologous or similar words? I thought there was a uniformity of structure at some level, when in fact the structure is amorphous.
Hibachi is a different issue. Someone else coined that word to describe the heat emitted by the typical Hitachi 7200 RPM drives.

An antonym is really what he's having trouble with. Homo is not the opposite of Amo.
