55" Hisense U8G Series 120Hz Quantum 4K ULED Android TV (2021 Model) Expired

I have this TV, Android OS runs great on it. It does have other issues with software though. Seems like every update they have breaks something. Last one broke HDR and 120Hz for consoles (and some other things), they fixed that with current update and broke the sound for people using ARC/eARC/Optical. I still think it's a fantastic TV, though I think I paid

Very Good medium tvs, next step up is basically any Oled and flagship Sony/Samsung.

Personally for $999 I would buy an LG C1, but if buying for a family member or someone who doesn't know too much about tvs then even this is simply to much.

I would consider a U6G as a great budget tv

I'm replacing a 50" Elite Kuro and I'm pretty much down to a refurb LG C1 for $799 from Micro Center or this U8G deal. I'm also half-heartedly considering waiting for the U7H for Google TV as I use it everywhere else in the house (via Chromecast GTVs or Nvidia Shield with the GTV launcher sideloaded) and/or Prime Day or maybe even Black Friday... but honestly, I'd rather buy now and be done with it (especially if I go with the refurbished C1 OLED). My gut tells me to spend for the OLED, but I'm hesitant regarding burn-in given my particular use case.

The display will be on-wall displaying artwork rotating (about every 5 minutes) when not in use along with a small white digital at the bottom-right of the screen (similar to the Google TV photos screensaver but without the weather). While the artwork rotates often enough to not cause burn-in, the clock is static white even as the artwork behind it transitions. Worst case (if the TV isn't used all day and only displays the artwork screensaver), the hour digit would change every hour, the tens minute digit every 10 minutes, and the minute digit every minute... but the AM indicator could be static for as much as 5 hours and PM would for upwards of 12 hours (the display powers on at 7am and off at 2am automatically via Harmony scheduling), and the colon between hours and minutes could potentially be static for 17 hours. My Kuro has a subtle image-shift feature (basically shifting the entire image up/down/left/right a few pixels every few minutes) that has made it a non-issue over many years of use.

Any thoughts on the risk of burn-in from the clock's AM/PM indicator on the C1 OLED? And if there is any image-shift feature in the LG OLEDs to prevent it?

Does anything reasonably priced have blacks that compare to plasma yet? Or is that still just with very expensive OLEDs still. My 2014 plasma is starting to get burn in, but I really don't want to downgrade to an LED display with bad blacks.

Lots of people report burn in on c1 from less than you are asking. Also the picture on an oled degrades the more hours you put on them.

"Because the materials used in the construction of these panels are organic, they degrade over time. OLED is a self-emissive technology, which means no backlight is required. Each pixel generates its own light, which will gradually dim over the course of a product's lifespan."

Please stop , you have no idea what you're talking about. You have never owned an Oled, please direct yourself out of this thread

"Both Sony and LG told CNET that the best way to prevent burn-in or image retention on their TVs is to avoid static images. "To avoid the possibility of burn-in, consumers should avoid leaving static images on an OLED screen for long periods of time.Dec 8, 2021"

Do not listen to the manufacturers guys, listen to this random dude on slickdeals.

Here are some points to keep in mind:

Burn-in is possible with OLED, but not likely with normal use.
Most "burn-in" is actually image retention, which goes away after a few minutes.
You'll almost certainly see image retention long before it becomes permanent burn-in.
Generally speaking, burn-in is something to be aware of, but not worry about.

wait, so you're moving goal post from "oled degrades over time" to "static burn in" now?

now instead of cherry-picking sentences, let's look at other points in that very article you quoted:

so burn-in possibility for shopkins82's scenario? read life4eva's responses.
"oled degrades over time"? same ballpark as LEDs. backlights degrade too, people.

Did you read what the guy wanted to do with static images on his OLED? He's talking about doing the worst case extended torture scenario, something neither manufacturer will suggest and something that will likely cause burn in and uneven wear. An oled is the worst suggestion for his use case according to everything I have ever read, but you go on.

Everything I said in this thread has only been direct quotes from people who should know, people in the industry, they are not my words nor my opinion.
You know more than all the experts.

According to rtings:
"OLED TVs have great picture quality; however, there are concerns about their long-term performance due to the possibility of permanent image retention, commonly referred to as burn-in. Our previous 20 hours per day burn-in test ran for a little over two years, and the OLED TV has permanent image retention.Mar 25, 2022"

Where are people reporting burn in on C1's from slight use?
I have seen no such documentation

On a related note...degradation of a C1 is going to be at about the 15 year mark at 20 hours a day usage..maybe
The bigger statement is that the technology of any TV will be long obsolete before then

My reply was in response to extended burn in torture test type use, not slight use.

I quoted what I found according to rtings with the date it was posted in 2022, if their info was out of date where they said that that burn in occurred for them after just two years at 20 hours a day go argue with them. Tell them to update the article, tell sony and LG to also update their recommendations and warnings and tell CNET to revise their info also.
Like I said you are not arguing with me, argue with the pro's I get my info from. If the entire industry is passing along old information and wrong information you can help them sell millions of more sets, go make your arguments with them, you know more than all the experts like I said, you should share your gift with the world.
