Hi. Hundreds of hours of hands-on training between Sony, LG, and Samsung. Personally deal with selling TV's and inspecting returns. Been doing this for several years. Now let me tell you why you're wrong:

 

Burn-in is a real thing that can happen almost at random if an image stays on screen for too long. Every individual set is different, and some burn in much faster than others even in the same model. Burn-in happens often. The most common things to burn in are health bars and the LG logo. Pixel shift will not save you. The pixel refresh will not save you. Your screen will likely burn in within 12 months, and guess what? LG, Phillips, Panasonic, and Sony don't cover it on their warranties.

 

Now for your individual points:

 

Sony LEDs are objectively the best LEDs as a whole this year, so you are correct.

Samsungs from last year are mostly the same as this year, with exception of the KS series, all of which use split panels and have a high failure rate. Avoid unless you intend on buying protection.

Correct, QLEDs are overpriced, but still good TVs.

Panasonic has more often than not released garbage TVs since plasma was rendered obsolete. Avoid.

 

Most cheaper brands available in the US are 8-bit (NOT HDR) , suffer from high input lag, or both. Good for guest rooms, not for gaming.

 

Also, nice pick on your TV.

Holy shit, this is a nice insight!

Glad to have you in the community, i hope you can help me next year to choose my new TV.

Oh, thanks. If you have any questions, just message me. I'm always glad to help.
