alt Hacker NewsI can't bring myself to get an OLED when I know it will get the taskbar and window decorations burned into it after a few years. One day if they invent one with truly zero burn-in I'll consider it.

I like to use monitors for a very long time, knowing it will have burn in and lower brightness over time does not sit well with me. I had a phone with the burger menu of AnkiDroid permanently burned in, I am trying to stick to IPS screens after that one.
Yep, my LG TV got noticeable burn in after 5 years - Minecraft hearts and other gaming related things from my son. 9 years in and the colours in the middle of the screen are terrible too - I think the self-generated heat has caused this. It’s unwatchable for me but my wife doesn’t seem to mind.
While it may be a concert, you might play in full screen for example or have other stuff full screen.
It will take so long for burn in that you probably want to buy something new anyway.
My LG OLED 4k tv is by far the best picture I ever had.
My Samsung 4k 27" gaming OLED is beautiful when gaming too
It will probably be microLED rather than OLED in current form
Same here. OLED is fine for gamers who use it a couple hours here and there but for a system that's on 8+ hour per day with a taskbar and the usual work apps, this is just not adequate.
