OLED Care Features After Removing Armoury Crate and MyASUS

[diegosanchezmora04-wq]

Hello,

I recently switched from Armoury Crate and MyASUS to G-Helper on my ASUS Zephyrus laptop with an OLED display.

I understand that G-Helper uses the same ASUS firmware interfaces as Armoury Crate for many hardware controls. However, I am still a bit confused about the OLED protection features that ASUS advertises through Armoury Crate and MyASUS.

My questions are:

What happens to ASUS OLED Care features after uninstalling Armoury Crate and MyASUS?
Are features such as Pixel Refresh, Pixel Shift, OLED protection routines, and panel maintenance handled directly by the display firmware/BIOS, or do they depend on ASUS software running in Windows?
Does G-Helper expose all OLED-related settings that are actually configurable by the user?
Are there any OLED protection features that stop working when Armoury Crate and MyASUS are removed?
Is Flicker-Free Dimming the only OLED-specific setting that needs software support, or are there others?

My goal is to use G-Helper as the only ASUS management utility while ensuring that all OLED burn-in prevention and panel maintenance features continue to function normally.

Thank you for your work on G-Helper

@diegosanchezmora04-wq hello, I was answering this before #4458

To the best of my knowledge, AC only offers settings that can be managed directly through Windows:

• Hide Taskbar is something you can toggle in Windows settings (right-click the taskbar)
• Pixel Shift simply moves only your wallpaper by a few pixels over time. You could achieve an even better effect by setting Windows to rotate wallpapers periodically
• Pixel Refresh is just a desktop screensaver, you can set any other screensaver in windows for the same thing :) If you really want to use the same one from Armoury, you will have to save it locally and run on your own. There even a topic with discussion about it PixelMode (OLED care) #5489
• Flicker-free dimming is possible in G-Helper too

Thanks!
