I don’t know, I have a lot of old laptops with perfect screens, and usually some soldering dies first. My previous monitor’s inverter died, not the panel, it was perfect. Burn in is only a serious problem on oleds, rare on tft. Other parts will die before the screen in a car
Modern analog speedometers are just small servos, displaying digital data from the computer, actually an lcd has far less parts, far fewer point of failures

Also the old way with a cable was always fucking up and getting stuck or just being way off. Digital ftw.

apparently they use small stepper motors for the dials, it’s why there’s a homing sequence at the start (where all the dials go to 0)

> Other parts will die before the screen in a car Yeah, your laptop ain't gotta survive upwards of ~160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit parked in the summertime sunlight. Heat not only kills babies and puppies, it also kills electronics...
