If you want to compare the issue of burn-in on a tv with a comparable issue on a phone - then surely, rather than using an example of a cracked screen it would be a more even-handed approach to use the example of... I dunno... ummm... burn-in maybe? Comparing burn-in to a cracked screen is just hyperbole. I've attached a pic of my tv running a uniform red - as you suggested - and unless I'm missing something there seems to be zero sign of any issues :) My comment about choosing an OLED with a little burn-in over an inferior set without - was there to illustrate that that whilst it may represent an instant game over to you, to others it would simply be another piece of info used to weigh-up the pro's and cons of a tv. If, like the example I mentioned, the BBC icon caused some burn-in after a few years - the TV wouldn't immediately go from a 9/10 PQ to zero. Maybe it would drop to an 8.5 or an 8 - but that's just me - it's subjective... depends on the severity and how visible it is during normal viewing - not some test screen... and it doesn't instantly negate all of the advantages that the TV holds over it's competition. Anyway - the completionist in me just wanted to post the photo to show that I'm not some OLED zealot in self-denial - I've had the set for 2 years and it still looks fantastic. If I make it to 5 years without any noticeable burn-in (as in noticeable during normal viewing) then I've made the correct TV purchase & no number of links will prove otherwise!

Might I ask how many hours you have used that tv approximately? Did you play any one game for a long time on it or are you more varied in what you play and watch.

Same for you, how many hours were on that tv?
A friend of mine also bought an OLED last year, yet he only games once a week and doesn't use it very often. He's now looking for a bigger screen for his game room and wants to place this one in the living room where it will be used daily. At what point does OLED start to show wear?
