How To Check Used OLED TV For Burn In Before Craigslist Buy

A local-purchase guide for checking a used OLED TV for logo shadows, banding, and dead pixels before buying from Craigslist.

Best for: Local buyers meeting used OLED TV sellers.

Why this guide matters

A quick TV demo is not enough when panel condition matters. This guide explains how to use the homepage during a Craigslist meetup so you can inspect the panel before money changes hands.

What to inspect during a short meetup

Use clean solid-color patterns to look for banding, dead pixels, and logo retention that normal content can hide. Gray and white are especially good for uniformity, while red and green help confirm suspicious marks.

Ask the seller for a dimmer room if possible because subtle defects stand out more clearly there.

  • Check corners and top edges for logo shadows.
  • Inspect the center for darker or tinted regions.
  • Cycle through gray, white, red, green, and blue.

Why this test is worth doing

A browser-based homepage test is fast and requires no setup beyond opening a page in full screen. That makes it ideal when you have limited time with the TV.

It is much better to test before paying than to discover hidden wear later.
