I have an LG OLED from ~2016 or so. Burnt, especially green. I kept it pretty even for wear, until I uh…I was playing Mario 64 ROM hacks, went to sev for a Slurpee and forgot to turn the TV off. Luigi’s hat burnt into the screen in his sleeping idle animation and that was that. Took less than half an hour at that point, the panel was already worn out by then for that to happen. Now it’s the workout room TV. Yeah it was very pretty, especially useful for 4K CRT Royale retro shaders. Not worth the price unless you got ample cash to burn as I consider these panels disposable.
I went with LCD again after that. MicroLED 75" with local dimming. It’s fine, good enough. You see the dimming zones while web browsing text heavy dark themed websites like this one, but it’s not a deal breaker for me.
Personally I wouldn’t buy another until local dimming zones are way way more numerous and smaller on cheaper models. 1000 nits is enough, uncomfortablly bright sometimes now with HDR on. 120hz VRR is great, don’t need more. Don’t care about 8K. Or I guess if OLED became impossible to burn, or take so long I wouldn’t care. At least a decade, without having to mitigate the issue by hiding task bars or using lower brightness etc.

I don’t want to worry about it.
