Looking into a 4K TV, any recommendations?

I stated earlier that it all depends on use-case & not even how often you game but which games you play as each will have it's own in impact on burn-in. If that's a headache any given consumer can do without then yes, they're better off buying a non-OLED. But if you're willing keep an eye on how much & what you're playing then it really does offer the best experience for gaming, not to mention pretty much everything else.

I'll take you on your word that you receive that many returns for OLED burn-in but I find it odd that there doesn't seem to be 1 OLED owner on this thread with similar issues (who I'd assume are on the upper end of the spectrum for hours gaming...).

Comments & Youtube videos are fine but they really give no indication of the actual scale of the problem - according to comments sections & youtube videos you'd have been forgiven for believing that half of all joy-cons were faulty at launch - when in actual reality we now know this issue was far smaller.

I'm 2 years in with my OLED and have experienced ZERO issues (out of curiosity I cycled through various test screens a couple of nights ago and nothing to report) - so I get a little tired of being told that I should be bitter and/or regret my purchase. Maybe I just lucked out with my set... but again no other owners on this thread seem to be suffering either...

Just out of interest how many OLEDs does your store sell per week?

It sounds less like you play what you want and more like you're a prisoner to your OLED when you put it like that.

 

As far as other people not coming in to post about their burn-in, there's a phenomenon where people vehemently defend products they put their money behind. Even if there was someone here with burn-in on their OLED, it's likely they wouldn't even admit to it because they believe in their product. Anecdotally, there's a guy who works in my department who insists OLED doesn't burn-in and owns one for gaming. When some co-workers and I went to his place for CAH and pizza, I examined his OLED and pointed out where his health bar from Dark Souls was beginning to burn-in. He still denied it.

 

My department sells anywhere from 7 to 15 OLEDs a week, but last week we sold 34. The only OLED burn-in I deal with for customers is burn-in from the first 30 days (return window) or burn-in on TVs with our protection plans in them. Burn-in is otherwise directed to LG, so I don't even deal with 100% of our burn-in.

 

And as a side note that I'm not sure I mentioned yet: LG does not cover burn-in on their warranties.

Well, that sounds like a huge % of affected sets and if that bore out throughout the entire industry then surely we'd hear more about it and/or stores would simply stop stocking as the time/costs of returns would negate the profits made on selling the actual sets...?

Where was the deluge of OLED Vita owners complaints in the first month after purchase? The joy-con issue seemed to be shouted from the rooftops as vocally as possible for what ended up being quite a small percentage of effected units so it seems a very odd difference in consumer behaviour... Unless I just missed the backlash (I don't follow Sony particularly closely)

Anyway, as I've said in my other post - I'll def have another look at my set tonight.
