As for the refurbished state, it's an Amazon company so just return it if it comes damaged or too used for your liking. Mine had like a month worth of the hours I would put on it daily (I WFH and play games in my free time so I probably spend at least 10 hours a day on average with it on). Mine now has 1000+ hours on it and no burn in yet. Would highly recommend.

Is OLED burn in different?

90 day warranty, hard pass, especially on refurbished
Is OLED burn in different?
And if you're going to use it as a PC monitor like I am, there are a few things you can do to decrease the chances of burn in. There is a community over on reddit about usingg OLEDs on PC and they've written some good guides on how to hide task bars, setup screensavers, etc to prolong its life.
Hope that helps!

DO NOT purchase any LG oled through Woot unless you are aware and willing to accept your OLED burn in occurring within a year.
Some screens get bad burn in really fast. Others last some time. All suffer from burn in via different ways.
I made the mistake of purchasing mine through eBay and am forced to purchase another after 3 years. LG would have warranty covered and replaced mine if I had just spent the extra 100$ and purchased from BB.

You'd be a fool not to buy the 55" at this price. Amazing TV
Is OLED burn in different?
Burn-in on OLED is determined by the panel and usage on that panel. On OLED, every sub-pixel produces its own light. Burn-in is caused by sub-pixels (on a macroscopic scale in a noticeable pattern) becoming dimmer due to voltage drops, caused by uneven pixel wear (e.g. If red sub-pixels are worn out in an area of the screen, you'll see them be dimmer if red has to be shown on the display). It isn't fundamentally even due to specific static elements, and even pixel shifting helps only to a limited degree (as burn-in is noticeable when it is present over macroscopically large areas). So it's about total wear, and static elements can cause burn-in by inducing uneven wear over long time periods.
Personally, I bought the recent deal for a ~$1100 55" C1 OLED TV (after accounting for all the stacked promotions) from BuyDig on eBay. This included a 4-Year Accident Protection Warranty (Includes Burn-In Coverage) and I got 2 additional years extended standard Warranty with the Costco Anywhere Visa. I'd recommend buying that deal instead for the 48"/55" if you can get the eBay Bucks, and then couple that with cashback from certain websites. Plus, only devices with manufacturer warranty coverage can get extension with credit cards.

Who would spend $1000+ on a refurbished TV?
They are selling the LG C1 55" for $1100
Best Buy is selling it BRAND NEW for $200 more.
