Looking into a 4K TV, any recommendations?

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.

You'd be surprised what companies will stock for a profit. Just take RGBW panels, for example. They aren't real 4K, yet are legally advertised as such because they can be 4K when Monochromatic. ((For those wishing to avoid RGBW panels, only LG makes them. They are the UH6300, UJ6200, UJ6300, UJ7700, and SJ8000))

 

Can't have a deluge of complaints if there isn't a deluge of sales. Plus, the UI of the Vita was designed to be in constant motion (except the top bar showing the time/battery/etc), thus acting as it's own form of pixel shift. Finally, the Vita didn't kick off in Japan much until after the slim model launched, so most models on the market lack the OLED display.

 

And good luck. I don't wish burn-in on people, I'm here to make sure they make informed decisions.
