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.

I don't have much choice in the matter though, so again blame the stores.

Flicker doesn't prevent burn in. The damage is cumulative, it's simply the different sub pixels wearing down at a different rate. Flicker might help image retention, not burn-in, which should be called burn out to be correct. I have kids that like to play the same games over and over. There's over 600 hours of Lego city undercover recorded on the WiiU. All of us together racked up about 400 hours of BotW. My game time on Elite dangerous is scary, wouldn't want to subject an OLED screen to that although the perfect blacks would be great for space.

Anyway I'm more concerned about how fast the pixels degrade. 20 hours a day in that test is hardly double the usage my family puts the tv through and it's very clearly showing wear after just a few weeks.
