It's almost impossible to have burn in on a TV, that is true, because of the usage patterns. On a TV you will be gaming some, watching some tv news, use Netflix and so on. So that is a very mixed type of usage, something that is way harder to achieve on a monitor, where you will be having static content much more then on a TV and people will probably not babysit it too hard, which is normal. I'm very eager to see what will LG implement in their monitors for burn in protection. Because pixel shift and LOGO luminance dimming, won't be enough to avoid burn in, for someone who plays DOTA for example, for hours and hours in a single day.

I play/have played diablo 3 for years on this tv with zero issues at all. I mean I guess if that is what it is strictly used for and never watch another type or format to change the picture up at all sure there might be an issue. But if the user understands what they're using and doesn't implement their own knowledge on the matter then one could say it's their fault. The pixel refresher built into the TV is also a real thing. But again any screen is susceptible to image burn if that's all it's being done is just playing the same image/overlay in game over and over and over. I'm also a fan of adjusting the safe zones of the HUD itself. Just by changing that you changed where everything sits on screen. But again this is coming from a person who understands their hardware and knows what it is they can do to aid in preventing idiocy.

Or you could just go with micro LED if you don't want an LG brand. I could care less about the TOS agreement in anything these days. Just a formality to save the manufacturer from dumb shtuff on the consumers end from interfering with the business as a whole. But to stay away from a superior screen because of a TOS agreement is silly to me.

Silly or not it depends what they do with your data and how much you care about it. There will be a screen as good as the LG without weird TOS agreements soon or later.

Monitors have become a right joke now, they cost so much more than some of the best OLED TV's LG B9/X is £900 atm, where I guess this might be what 3-4k? Even with fear of burn in I could get 3 OLEDS that would last as long if not longer xD They make it sound like HDMI 2.1 is this new invention when you got TV's with 3-5 HDMI 2.1, but hey those PC guys we will charge them hundreds for a single port. Heck most Asus screens coming out are still using DP1.4 with DSC, only reason I can think of is so next year they can be like hey guys look its the same monitor as last year but this time with HDMI 2.1 Seriously If LG did a slightly smaller screen i'd just pick that up, save myself hundreds if not thousands and worry about possible burn in years down the line when with all the money I saved can most likely just get a new one xD

This. Feck burn in, I never had monitor longer than 5 years. LCDs suck, as they can develop dead pixels over time(one of TNs get from 1 at begining to 7 in 3y..., VA from 0 to 5 in 3y...and baaaad cloudiung that was not present at begining), IPS suck for me due dark glow, VA no proper blacks/stars while movement in movies/games...And yes, my OLED TV have one pixel dead too, but is 3y old now, so... Give me freaking 27-32" OLED with 1440p or even 4k and I would buy it at once. OFC not when it will be dearer than 55" OLED TV, then FU greedy bastards 🙂

If this monitor was about half the price of it's predecessor I might consider it. But if it's close to the price of the predecessor/a good OLED TV, I'd rather get the latter.

finally received the sony (XR50X90J). the only thing im missing over monis, is that it wont turn on/off with the pc. dimming isnt perfect when on the desktop using a black background (glow around icons), but none of my previous monis had FALD or 120Hz, so an improvemnt either way, and i havent seen any probs when watching movies/video content. @GREGIX for me LG is out. one of the worst UI/OS, and as long as i still see a burn-in within a year running videos (retail), i dont care for oled use as moni (unless the ppl claiming there isnt an issue, will pay for any burn-in replacement).

Stay off the internet if you're worried about your data and how it's used...... That's the truth.
