Screen burn-in is a common concern for arcade machine displays, especially with prolonged use. Manufacturers employ several strategies to prevent this issue and ensure longevity.

1. Pixel Shifting: Slightly moving the image periodically prevents static pixels from degrading over time.

2. Screen Savers: Activating a screensaver or dimming the display during inactivity reduces the risk of burn-in.

3. OLED Care: Modern arcades using OLED screens implement pixel refresh cycles to evenly distribute wear.

4. Lower Brightness: Reducing default brightness levels minimizes stress on pixels.

5. Dynamic Content: Games with varied visuals naturally prevent static images from causing burn-in.

By combining these methods, manufacturers extend the lifespan of arcade displays while maintaining vibrant visuals for players.
