Edit: Something else to think about - Burn-in is a very real risk still, despite people pretending it is not:
https://old.reddit.com/r/Monitors...ed_t
Basically, you can't treat it like you would a standard monitor ~ you still need take all the standard burn-in minimization steps (hiding task bars, power off when idle / blank background screen saver, etc, etc).
I've been stewing on this for the past week or so. OLED's image quality is amazing, but as a monitor, I'm finding it hard to rationalize.
Edit 2: Went with a LG 42" C2 (open box) with a 5 year Geek Squad warranty that covers burn-in for $750 out the door.
Resolution: 3440x1440
Aspect Ratio: 21:9
Refresh Rate: 165Hz (DisplayPort) or 100Hz (HDMI)

1 x HDMI (ver2.0)
2 x DP (ver1.4)
2 x SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen1) downstream port [Front bottom, one with BC1.2 charging capability at 2A (max)]
2 x SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen1) downstream port (rear)
1 X SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen1) upstream port (rear)
1X Audio line-out port (rear)

What are they referring to when they say "Durable Quality" and "Reliability"? Honestly, I have no idea, but similar terminology has been used by Samsung to describe burn in.
So basically, Samsung's new QD-OLED is 2x as reliable - and the panel hasn't realistically been out long enough for people to understand how resistant the first generation of QD-OLED really is. Your friend's 4 months of no burn in is peanuts compared to the standard life time of monitors.
Anyways, I'm not trying to talk anyone out of or into an OLED monitor. I assume if you're interested, you're aware of the risk of burn in. I felt the need to insert my comment because you see so many that insist that burn in is no longer an issue. The reality is that ALL OLED is vulnerable to burn in. It's just a matter of when. If that when is 10 years from now, it doesn't really matter. If that when is 1-2 years from now....well...
Do your own risk analysis. I'm still churning myself, though I am leaning towards waiting for Gen 2 QD-OLED to come out later this year.

I have not noticed any burn it in the short time Ive owned it, but am generally not concerned at all. I have a 5 year old LG B6p OLED that still doesnt havent any burn in either.

I too have an older LG OLED without any noticeable burn-in, but I also take very good care to make sure static images minimal -- but I think that is the point - despite it being a computer monitor, you still have to do all the standard OLED pampering to avoid burn-in.
Regardless, I think I've convinced myself to wait for gen 2. I'm definitely excited for more durable panels, whatever they means, lol. I think it is extraordinarily telling that they've already moved on to a second generation of panels with drastic improvements (especially to the brightness). Not only that, you also get more form factors. That curved 49" (ultra)ultrawide sounds amazing (model: G95SC). Would be extra cool if Alienware released one (I prefer their aftersale service).
Anyways, this is the last I'll say about Gen 1 vs Gen 2, burn-in reliability, etc.
