False. I've had a 48C1 used as a primary monitor for more than 2 years, 12 hours per day or more, 7 days per week. Zero burn in. I've had a 65G2 for 15 months, zero burn in. I have a 77G3 now too, and the panel has a 5-year warranty. They (LG) are so sure their brightest panel ever won't develop burn-in that they gave it a 5-year factory warranty.

I've had an LG C9 for 4 years, no burn in on that either. The kids leave it running all the time too.

A lot of people run into the same issues that cheap all TVs have like constantly having to hard reset the TV by unplugging, remote connection issues and buggy interfaces. Very similar to the problems I had with my Hisense TV. Wasn't too bad of a problem but can definitely be a pain. I wonder how this stacks up to a lower end OLED like the LG A2

My LG C6 ran into this problem too till it finally quit on me right after the 5 years warranty expired!

C7 since late 2017. The older it gets the more I use it as a background TV for OTA. Still no burn in.

How you use it still comes into play. Background OTA I dim down to 10-20%. You have to check to tell it's that dim. I also skip shows where red is the prevalent color, like CNN and BBC news. True, some limitations to OLED, but so far it's been great.

By the time my OLED fails or burns in, microLED will be mainstream.

You are correct its how you use it and its also got something to do with production quality, but OLEDs panels TV, phone or console screens are still the panel that's most susceptible to burn in regardless of how you use it. if its a person just buying a tv that does not take that into acct and watches FOX or CNN all the time at regular or full brightness and just use the tv as they did tvs 20-30 years ago, will not be as lucky. Many of the customers in the reviews reporting issues, are regular tv watching people who do not research how to make their tv last. Why should they have to replace their tv after 5 years of watching a news broadcast or their favorite program on the daily? Good luck to anyone that buys an OLED or any TV, we here on slickdeals will grab them every couple of year, whether the deal is slick enough or no lol.

Regardless of the negatives mine shipped and arrives Wednesday. I've had the 55 inch version for a year or so in the bedroom. My 65 C1 is my daily driver but my skyworth is a hell of a step up from the tcl I had in there

Definitely some common sense viewing habits apply. And yeah, I'd say OLEDs should come with this warning label vs consumers having to warn potential future buyers. Though I'd say it's a little late, since microLED will soon take over as the better tech, and OLED will be viewed like plasma tech -- great while it lasted, and clearly the superior tech at the time, but outdated by today's standards.

There's a greater wear & tear aspect to OLEDs, but so long as you acknowledge the limitations, it's the better tech for movies and shows IMHO. Background news TV and sports, use something else.

Last point. You don't buy an electric car and expect to have the same level of performance in 5 years. Knowing that, I'd still say it's the better tech over gas engines.

Skyworth is an authentic brand from China, but does Walts.com trustworthy? No specs on the page.

My tv gets delivered tomorrow. It was supposed to be same day delivery but it was a mistake. They sent via Amazon now and also refunded $49 to me so this costed me $600

It's certainly a gamble but for some likely worth saving $300-$500 for a DARK ROOM OLED.

This panel is an 2021 LG A1 OLED with Chinese parts that make it clunky like most Hisense TVs.

Just hook it up to an AppleTV or Roku and disable all the smart features and Wifi and you'll likely never notice the difference.

Best review I've found on YouTube:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yx7daXdbDsI

Also the below link to Ratings.com review of the LG A1. Obviously the review of the panel itself is the only relevant part. Longevity test seems to be going well.

Skyworth website doesn't list walts as an authorized dealer and warranties only if bought from these dealers per their website. What sort of warranty does this product have if ordered from walts?

Received it, it's working well, just one issue no ARC. But not that big biggie. ARC destroyed my soundbar and tv before I hardly use it anymore. Keeping it real optical on this one. A sacrifice for $1000 less I am happy. EDIT : reading there is 1 ARC but for some reason my audio is not working. I'll have a look again. Update: yes my HDMI cable was bad, indeed has 1 ARC so all good.
