Purpose-built OLED protection for gaming that keeps working inside borderless fullscreen games, where screensavers and pixel shift can't, with typically under 1% GPU overhead.
Real gameplay footage with OLED Guard Pro running. Protection that's invisible when it needs to be.
Protection overlay active during gameplay — HUD elements and static UI are dimmed while the center gameplay area stays clear.
Real-time content-aware protection running seamlessly on top of borderless fullscreen gameplay.
Edge-weighted gaming mode protects HUD-heavy screen borders while keeping the action area untouched.
Gaming mode is not a separate app. It is the same per-pixel engine, shaped for the realities of games: HUDs at the edges, the action in the centre, borderless fullscreen, and a frame budget you cannot afford to spend.
Health bars, minimaps, ammo counts and scoreboards sit in the same pixels for hours. That is the textbook recipe for burn-in. Gaming mode weights protection toward the periphery where HUDs live, so the static chrome is treated while the centre of the action stays untouched.
health · ammo · minimap · scoreboard — static for an entire session
Screensavers and pixel-shifters give up the moment a game takes the screen. OLED Guard composites its overlay on top of the game through DWM, so borderless fullscreen stays protected. In legacy exclusive fullscreen it auto-pauses while the game owns the swap chain, then resumes the instant you alt-tab.
borderless: protected · exclusive: auto-pause then resume
A twitchy shooter and a slow strategy game want different protection. Assign a preset to each title once; the profile follows the foreground window automatically when you launch it. No menus, no manual toggling mid-session.

The whole hot path is a shader that runs on the GPU, next to the frame you are already rendering. There is no capture round-trip to the CPU, so the overlay costs a sliver of each frame and your framerate does not move under load.

The base engine tracks exposure everywhere on screen. Game IQ adds a layer on top just for games: it learns the persistent HUD regions in each title and brings protection back to them faster the next time they appear.
Game IQ learns the stable HUD regions in each game on your PC. Nothing about what you play leaves the machine.
It only learns and applies its floor in fullscreen Gaming sessions, so your desktop, media, and menus never pick up a game-HUD floor by mistake.
The learned floor can only add protection on top of what the base engine already decided. It never lowers protection, and it falls back to the base engine when unsure.
Purpose-built for the unique burn-in challenges that gaming creates on OLED displays.
Keeps working inside borderless fullscreen — the mode most gamers actually play in. Screensavers and pixel-shifters can't.
Typically under 1% GPU overhead. Windows Graphics Capture / DXGI Desktop Duplication plus shader-only processing keeps the hot path on the GPU.
Stronger protection at screen edges where HUDs live. Health bars, minimaps, and scoreboards stay protected.
The protection field eases off in the center of the screen where dynamic gameplay happens, so the action stays clear.
Side monitors stay protected while you game on the primary. Each display runs its own independent overlay.
Assign different protection presets to each game. Settings switch automatically when you launch a title.
Wondering if your monitor's built-in pixel shift already covers this? See why pixel shift and screensavers fall short on OLED.
