I'm not sure it's worth it to spend the life if a TV constantly thinking about what's on the screen and whether it will ruin it.
Don't sweat that. I bought mine Presidents Day last year and paid $1900 for a 55" and i play everything on it - TV is still just like brand new. Awesome TV! Well worth the $$$$$$ [Reply]

Yeah, the screen burn-in issues on OLED are a little overblown IMHO. They're certainly not plasma screens. [Reply]

It probably has burn-in protections like screen shift or something. [Reply]

I was just reading about this and the protections that OLEDs have against burn-in are pretty impressive. Newer versions have "logo luminance adjustment" that detects logos like ESPN/Disney/etc and after a couple of minutes dim those pixels. A pixel refresher runs on the TV any time it's turned off after running for 4 hours, and a bigger refresh can be manually run periodically to even the wear on pixels. [Reply]

Back in the day, my plasma had some of those but they were still all manual at the time. I'd forget to run them. But now many of them are full auto and makes it much better. [Reply]
