OLED Guard Pro 5.5: Protection That Never Forgets

OLED Guard Pro 5.5: the reliability release

Your OLED took months to earn its burn-in protection history. 5.5 makes sure nothing throws it away.For this update we went hunting for the problems you could feel but never name: the overlay that quietly started over after your screen sat idle, the buildup that vanished after a scroll, the dimming that reset when you switched presets. We root-caused every one of them from live logs, built a regression harness to pin them down for good, and worked through every single report on our feedback board.

Protection that never forgets

• Idle screens no longer reset protection. A perfectly still screen used to be mistaken for a capture failure and could silently wipe hours of protection history. Not anymore.

• Scrolling bright pages keeps your history. Reading and scrolling no longer erode accumulated protection on white content.

• Preset, Autopilot, and profile switches keep buildup. Changing modes releases the visible dim, not the memory underneath.

• Monitors keep their settings. Per-monitor tuning now follows the physical panel, so docking or reordering displays never lands your settings on the wrong screen.

Dramatically lighter

• Near-zero cost when clear. The overlay now draws a frame only when something actually changes. A transparent overlay costs Windows essentially nothing, and visible dimming updates at a fraction of the old rate.

• Optional full-coverage mode. Removes the last uncovered pixel line and lets Windows hand the overlay straight to your display hardware. Windows may then treat it as a fullscreen app and enable Do Not Disturb; the setting explains the trade-off.

• Low VRAM mode for constrained GPUs, plus a fixed VRAM leak when disconnecting monitors.

Away mode grew a face

When your screen dims for Away, a faint drifting OLED Guard badge now tells you exactly what is happening, and a single mouse move or key press wakes it. Starting Away from the dashboard also tucks the app into the tray.

And the details

• Panel pixel-shift motion no longer kicks protection off.

• The tray icon now tells the truth about what is protected, and warns when nothing is.

• Sharper multi-monitor, mixed-DPI, and fullscreen edge handling.

• All of it localized in 10 languages.
