Option to Hide HUD for OLED Users to Prevent Burn-In

Hi Grinding Gear Games team and fellow Exiles,

First off, I want to say how excited I am about Path of Exile 2. The game looks incredible, and I can't wait to dive in and explore everything Wraeclast has to offer!

As someone who plays on an OLED display, I wanted to raise a concern that might be relevant to a growing portion of the community. OLED panels are fantastic for gaming, but they are susceptible to burn-in, especially from static elements like the HUD (health/mana globes, skill bar, etc.).

Would it be possible to implement an option to hide or minimize the HUD elements during gameplay? Alternatively, a feature like dynamic HUD transparency, customizable fade-out timers, or the ability to toggle specific parts of the interface on and off could be a great help.

This would not only cater to OLED users but also provide a cleaner and more immersive experience for players who prefer less on-screen clutter.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. Keep up the amazing work!

Very useful suggestion for the game, for example very bright white spots in 1000+ nit when enabling RTX HDR on round health and mana stats are very annoying and accelerate burnout of OLED monitors and TVs.
Please!
Can confirm I actually have some burn out on my c1 oled where the crescent of energy shield is, it's not very noticeable but it's there. I usually run screensavers to combat this but had done some updates and had not reconfigured the settings. I am now having to set a timer to remind myself tab out of the game and give the panel something different for afew minutes to ensure this doesn't get worse.

This is the first game I have played that has managed to do permanent dmg like this so I assume it's just that aggressive bright blue in particular that does it.

To be able to turn the brightness of it right down or have it represented in a different colour even would be really helpful.
Hello, the Globes from mana and health, especially the mana one is now burned into my LG 42" C4 monitor.
