What's the burn in like on the oled? I have an LG oled as my TV but haven't dared buy one as a monitor as oled used to be so bad for burn in

You're thinking of plasma TVs from like 12 years ago.

I've seen burn in on early oled panels which is why I'd never used them in this way, but seems they have improved a lot.

Here's what my LG C1 panel looks like after three years of heavy use (8+ hrs/day), used exclusively as a monitor. Primary tasks include gaming, watching YouTube in a window, and full-screen music production and video editing. (Edit: What you're seeing on the right side of the screen is glare, cause the TV is right next to a window.)

I've disabled the burn-in protection in the service menu (TPC & GSR) because they dim the screen too much and make text difficult to read. I left the remaining features in the user menu enabled, because they're not as dramatic, so I don't even notice that they're on (logo dimming and pixel shifting). The only other preventive measures I take are autohiding the taskbar and setting the wallpaper to randomly cycle every 30 minutes, but I probably don't even need to do that. I consider burn-in a non issue.

Thanks that's really helpful, I have to view large technical drawings and been wanting to replace my multi monitor setup with an oled for media too but was concerned having static images on it for hours at a time.

I think I'll give it a go.
