I’m downloading a bunch of new games to play on this beautiful new OLED screen. But I forgot the screen doesn’t turn off. I didn’t care with my LCD SD but now that it’s OLED I’m not sure how to let it sit downloading a 90GB+ game without risking burn in even with dimming the screen.

Any recommendations on how best to handle? Does the screen turn off now in a setting I can’t find?

    When in desktop mode, the power button will turn off the screen but not put the system to sleep, so you could switch to desktop mode for long downloads.

    Also, modern OLEDs are very resistant to burn-in. You could probably leave a static image on the screen for 24 hours a day for several months before it would be noticeable.
