Oh buddy… 🤦🏼 This blows that out of the water. It's not even a competition. This is in a different league. It's time for you to go to Best Buy and look at OLEDs.

OLEDs have come a long way in their safety features over the last 7 years or so. My C2 has around 10,000 hours on it, and not the slightest hint of burn-in. I sometimes forget to turn it off when I go do other things, and I leave it sitting on static images. Still going strong. Essentially the only time you get burn-in these days is if you get a bad panel, or if you absolutely abuse the TV. A friend of mine has a 2018 C9, which is when burn-in was still prevalent, and he even bought it open-box. After all these years, he still hasn't gotten burn-in. He got a 5 year warranty that covered burn-in, and towards the end of the warranty, he was actively trying to get burn-in so that he could replace the TV. Even with leaving the TV on for hours on end, on bright static images, he still couldn't get it.
Yeah. Long before I educated myself on TVs, I, too, thought a TV was a TV. I thought some just had somewhat better color and were brighter, but that it didn't justify spending so much more. When you live in an echo chamber of a bunch of other people who don't know anything about TVs, and who all think that you're just paying for marketing gimmicks or the brand name, that's how you usually think, too.
Then, 7 years ago, a friend got an OLED shortly after I had bought my first 4K HDR TV. Then I learned that the TV I thought had amazing picture, actually looked hideous. Ever since then, I did a huge deep dive into all the different types of display tech, and I've spent countless hours researching it all. I finally bought a C2 two or three years ago and haven't looked back. I'll get a G series at some point. Mini LED is fine for lower-end TVs, but even the most expensive one doesn't compare to OLED.
