1/ I want to warn anyone consdiering getting an @LGUS OLED flatscreen to absolutely avoid it. After 15 years with a normal LED TV, I finally "upgraded" to an LG OLED flatscreen for Christmas 2017. Within 7 months, the screen had serious pervasive burn-in.
2/ There was a giant dark spot in the middle of the screen, as well as horizontal and vertical bars always visible on the sides and bottom. It was especially apparent against red and yellow backgrounds, and discolored most other scenes.
3/ And yes, the TV was turned off every night. The "screen shift" feature was on. And we ran "pixel refresh" - all complicated features LG includes because it knows the OLED TVs are susceptible to disabling burn-in after a few months.
4/ After three months of wrangling with @LGUS technical support, they finally replaced the front panel with a new one, around October 2018. And guess what - after less than a year, the replacement panel is suffering the same exact burn-in as the previous one.
5/ And @LG @LGUS is now refusing to do anything about it. There are lots of websites and forums debating whether LG OLED products are susceptible to burn-in. They are. In less than a year. With normal, reasonable use and all precautions taken. I strongly warn against buying them!
