By the way I got this TV from the BB deal, but unfortunately it had a ton of dead pixels so I ended up returning it, so just be on the look for that, search on YouTube for one of those "dead pixel test" videos and inspect the screen carefully, pause the video to check different subpixel colors.
During setup I was able to connect my phone to control settings, and I was disappointed about the brightness. Turns out the TV interface through the remote control has a different setting to control brightness, and that made a substantial difference, so try playing with both a little bit if needed.
Side note, the BB employee wanted to blame me, arguing that I may have caused the damaged, as if they received a commission for rejecting returns... Jerks!
Fun fact, if you can happen to find one of these at a bby, They ring out for 429 rn. Too bad non employees can't see where they are. I bought one last week and it was the last one within 500 miles of Detroit metro.
Keep dropping those OLED prices please. Ill replace my Sammy KS8000 eventually.
You will be in for a treat once you do. I used to have a ks8000. Sucks compared to even a current TCL 5 series now. It was ok when it came out, especially if you used SD back then. But it doesn't hold a candle to current offerings. I was really surprised.

This rtings review was done in 2020. They had two recent updates in the past few months and there are no longer any issues
Doesn't seem like it.
Update 03/14/2022: This TV received a firmware update to version 5.41.29.13-1, which is advertised to improve the 4k @ 120Hz compatibility. Sadly, even after the update 4k @ 120Hz still skips frames in Game Mode, so we couldn't get a proper input lag measurement. However, with VRR enabled it doesn't skip frames, but we still couldn't get a proper reading as this is an issue we've experienced with other TVs, and we're looking into it.
No retailers at the moment. LG employee perks had it for $999 (found out too late for me) and Walmart was selling it for $1099 near Black Friday last year.

Not saying you're wrong, but it seems odd to me they wouldn't update their review to reflect that, especially since there's a list of a dozen changes to the review made since it was first posted. Their last retest after a firmware update was March of 2022. Maybe any further updates just slipped past them?
Do you have this model? I'm new to both that site & OLED in general -- can a firmware update prevent image retention/burn-in?

To answer your question, No, a firmware update will not prevent burn-in. It may update the shifting algorithm, and the static-picture-dimming algorithm, but if the content is static enough, say for example, a restaurant menu with logos in a fixed location in between pages, the logos will still "burn-in".
Enabling VRR fixes the frame skipping. As for the image retention, yeah, it is an OLED. I have had an LG CX for almost 3 years now, well over 2000 hours and have no burn in or image retention.
As long as you don't abuse it most folks won't have an issue.

i love this tv, but its a pain using the HDMI ARC feature has been a pain. Especially with the Vizio sound bar. There has been a new update last week, but not sure what was fixed. Also turn on by itself in the middle of the night, but Mi guessing its the Roku triggering it.

Two huge cons for me: frame skipping at 4K 120hz and image retention.

That would be considered TV abuse in any jurisdiction.
It's hard to go back to anything else. (OEM proprietary, android, Fire)
