Lmao what is a top tier TV if not OLED? Sure QLED has the highest brightness but it does not have perfect contrast and optimal black levels like OLEDs do.

OLED is far superior to anything else out there right now but burn-in continues to be a concern. My next TV (probably in a few years) will hopefully be a Micro LED which has all of the advantages of OLED and none of the downsides.

Burn in is a problem if you do the same thing over and over again.
Like playing a game.
For movies and TV series burn-in is not a big concern.

Modern sets from reputable brands have all but gotten rid of burn in. If you have logo detection on, it will find static pixels in the display and dim them so they won't burn in. So far it seems to work on static TV logos in the corner and UI's like video games.

Agreed. The only stuff burned into my OLED TV right now are UIs from a couple video games. Fortunately I don't notice them unless there are solid colors being displayed.

Makes me wonder, what do you play and how often?
I have a Lg B9 from 3 to 4 years ago. It’s on every day and a play mostly games on it. Thousands of hours of Warzone, FIFA, Overwatch but still…. No burn in whatsoever when I do a burn in test. I do see the UI for just a little bit when switching games but that goes away in seconds

How do you do a burn in test?
R_eloade_R t1_iwbwetx wrote
Multiple tests on YouTube. It’s basicly a video that turns your screen into one color to identify burn in
bladerunner2442 t1_iwbz4k1 wrote
Ah, thank you. I’ll look for it.
ComCypher t1_iwc8vgy wrote
It sounds like you are describing ghosting which is normal. I have an LG E6 (2016) so it doesn't have the anti burn-in features that the newer ones have. I had it on 100% OLED brightness up until last year when I started noticing the degradation, so now I keep it at 80%. It now has burn-in showing BOTW's hearts in the top left, Splatoon 2's matchmaking screen on the right half, and some strange perfectly vertical bar down the center that I can't explain. I've played both a decent amount but not anything that would be considered abnormal or excessive.
Edit: I just remembered I had posted a picture of it on reddit last year:
The Splatoon matchmaking screen (and other Splatoony stuff) is burned into my OLED TV

How long have you played it?
ComCypher t1_ixb94t7 wrote
I have 175 hours on BOTW and 800 hours on Splatoon 2.

Not my experience with the C1. I have used it for a year as my desktop computer for work and play. No burn in yet

Gamers tend to upgrade their TVs every generation so as to take advantage of new display features.
The burn in is a big problem.
jdmachogg t1_iwb8d1g wrote
Burn-in isn’t an issue on the newer OLEDs. Unless you leave some shitty news channel or a desktop running for literally 24hours a day 7 days a week.
Playing 6 hours of the same game every day doesn’t even come close to burn-in
AlphusUltimus t1_iwbb61q wrote
Even then it has built in protection against burn in.
joombaga t1_iwq4iky wrote
I've had a c1 for a few years and have no burn in at all. Now I'm using a c2 as a monitor for programming ~8 hours per day. It's only been 3 months, but no issues so far, with logo detection on low. There's another feature that slightly moves every pixel, but that causes the edges of the screen to get chopped off which is annoying so I disabled it.

I think the consensus at the moment is that quantum dot oled is better, but basically I distinguishable right now and not worth the price difference.

I have a 5 year old LG oled that I have used extensively, (basically 100% of the covid years).
Burn in is not a problem.

It will probably be more than a few years before micro led is viable for consumer level products
SupVFace t1_iwcd4vc wrote
Depending on what you mean by consumer level, microLED isalready available, just not at pricing for us mere mortals.
shepanator t1_iwddyc4 wrote
I guess there's no strict definition for what qualifies as 'consumer level', but I'd argue that what is basically 219" of commercial signage in somebody's living room doesn't count lmao
lilrexy t1_iwbm0it wrote
When is Micro LED gonna be available for the consumer (price wise)?
ComCypher t1_iwc95y4 wrote
I'm being somewhat optimistic when I say a few years, but realistically it will probably be another decade.
rsmuss t1_iwbm9q1 wrote
Qled does not automatically imply it has the best brightness.. Qled can have shitty brightness especially if it’s edge led LCD
nicuramar t1_iwbenkq wrote
Right. There are two OLED technologies now, though. This one, “WOLED”, and the QD OLED from Samsung.
SupVFace t1_iwcdp6a wrote
Micro LED, which is crazy expensive currently.
nokinship t1_iwce4rf wrote
True, but no consumer is purchasing that unless you are in the top 1% literally.
