Blame the stores if you think that. I've looked at OLED and quality LEDS side by side in multiple shops, picture wasn't much above. Better blacks on screens with mostly black, yet with normal programming it looked about the same.

Perhaps the slightly bitter people are those who forked out more for an OLED while having to worry about responsible use for not much extra gain ;)

Stores are never a good place to look at pitcture quality. The rooms are horrible lighting, the TV's are set on a setting that is not one you would want at home, ect.

Responsible use? You do realize gaming consoles have settings that do some sort of flicker so often to prevent any IR burn in. MY Xbox asked about this pretty sure when set it up. Also the game mode screen setting on the tv does the same. I've not onced fussed over my TV since I had it and have had no burn in. Whatever TV these days is better than the gen 1 plasmas for burn in. Hell even the most latest plasmas had practically already fixed their burn in.

Feel like anyone getting burn in are those that have their desktop on their screen all day every day.

Indeed. All the sets found in stores have their backlight set to max or near their max, with dynamic contrast and other "picture boosting" features activated. This is what we call "torch mode" in the jargon, and TV manufacturers come up with these picture settings to make their sets look more catchy/attractive in environments that have a lot of lighting (store lighting, other TVs and whatnot) from all sides of the sets, as well as to fight against glare and reflection.

You can't properly judge the quality of a TV when you see them "as is" at the stores.
