I have 11,000 hours on my LG C7 65". I have absolutely zero burn in. I watch and play a little bit of everything that probably helps. That said, I have a 5 year best buy warranty on the tv that covers burn in. if and when it does happen I'll call them up and get all my money refunded and toss it into the next tv
Thats exactly what happened to me
Best Buy gave me a gift card for my full purchase price and I turned around and bought a LG 65 CX with it
They actually left the old Tv with me as well....which still looks good in 95% of viewing situations
What is your logic here..? Because you don't have burn-in, other people can't have it?
Yeah it's hilarious. People will say that you just need to "vary" what you watch but that entirely glosses over the issue. Sure, if you just don't watch much static content it won't burn in! What is there to be burnt in? You've just avoided the problem altogether.
Burn in is real, but it entirely depends on what you watch. If you watch lots of static content, it can happen quite easily. Mine burned in after just 2 years. I watch about 50% cable news and 50% movies and shows. Luckily I purchased the warranty and had mine replaced.

What settings? I don't use vivid and oled backlight isn't set to 100. Curious what caused your tv to burn in in 2 years., cbwsides cable tv with banners, static images, etc. bet you had burn in in the middle of the screen in the shape of a human head, didn't you?

It was logo burn in from MSNBC and CNBC. Nothing obvious in terms of a human head. I didn't use vivid; I calibrate and use IFS. I mostly had brightness to ~65 IIRC. Been a while; on my replacement I've since turned it down to ~35 - which is frankly dim but I want to get some more life out of the replacement.
I've owned my OLED for several years and it replaced a plasma that went into another room. Somehow niether have burn in. Maybe it is because I watch zero cable news.

Somewhere along the line people started becoming worried about burn-in for regular TV / movie content. That doesn't make sense. Burn-in is caused by uneven wear. That means one area of the TV needs to be producing substantially more of one color than the rest. That is almost always caused by static content.
TV / movies / commercials do not present any opportunity for prolonged static content. So you shouldn't be surprised by the lack of burn-in if you don't watch static content. The things that cause burn in are fairly obvious - news, sports, or games / programs with persistent UIs.
The issue is - many people DO watch that content. For them, it can be an issue.
Worst electronic investment I ever made was on an LG oled tv. Yea, the picture is great but the burn-in is terrible. Can't even watch the screen
How dare you suggest that an OLED could have burn-in ...
You'll have all kinds of OLED fanboys jumping down your throat claiming it is impossible because it has not occurred to them and that it must've been your fault for not being careful.
I personally would be willing to pay $4K~$5K for an OLED TV if it was as the old days that my dad talks about premium TVs lasting almost ten years and the only reason to upgrade would be because of size,resolution or new high tech features and not because the picture is dim, the colors washed out or the TV itself went tits up.

Since I'll probably be buying my first OLED this year, can you provide a bit more on what you used the TV for, how long each day and how much burn in you see after that usage? I'm thinking of using it for PS5, and I don't play too many different games, so I definitely don't want burn-in of the little compass or map that's on the same spot on few games I play.
Thanks!
It's a gamble.....
There have been occurrences in which store displays that were left on 24/7 on torch mode did not developed any issues. They were sold at a discount and even a year later the buyers claim it still performed as new.
Other unlucky people had their TVs developed burn-in within a few weeks of sporadic gentle viewing.
User error.
I've got a 4 yr old 55" lg oled and a 2 yr old 65" lg oled. ZERO burn in.
Indeed, I've 55" LG OLED from 2014, 7 years this year 0 burn in, 2nd Oled (2016 model bought Jan 2017) 4+ years 4000 hrs + 0 burn in, and this one my wife would pause do stuff around the house and come back and play 0 burn in. If you aren't watching a news channel 24/7 you won't get burn in, pro tip use the pixel clean up every 1000 hrs or so.

I have a 5 year old LG OLED 65" 65EF9500 TV (purchased May 31, 2016). Heavily used (like 8+ hours a day). No burnin issues. Even this old TV beats every modern LCD backlit TVs in terms of picture quality and black levels.
Of course, certain types of content is more likely to cause burnin (like watching news channels all day). So, do your own research. If you are buying a TV to display news channels or a restaurant menu, don't buy OLED.
If new purchasers are worried, Best Buy extended warranty is pretty decent and covers burnin.

It shows up for me. Says it includes the stand now too.
Unfortunate. I game and watch shows on my 65 e6 with no issues. Can't you pay to replace panel? If memory serves me, the price was very reasonable.

Crazy, my 65" b6 that I've played hundreds of hours of gaming on has never had any burn in. I love my OLED and will be buying a 77" soon.
