OLED isn't super useful on computer screens where elements stay in a static location for a long time due to burn in.

Also the amount of bright colors used in computer interfaces would cause some significant discomfort.

And I'm not sure how legitimate this claim is, but I've read before that OLED suffers from dead pixels at a higher rate than other screen types, but don't take that too seriously without proof.

I see this repeated a lot. Do you have any numbers/images on actual burnin in OLED screens. Would be interesting to know how long an OLED screen remains useable when used as a PC monitor.

Or to put it another way: Burn in does not seem to be enough of a concern to prevent Samsung/etc from puttin OLED screens into phones.

The entire point of Apple's solution here is that UI's max brightness is not the display's true max brightness.

Indeed, burn-in tests almost feel anecdotal because they involve no more than several TVs. We don't have the MTTF type numbers for pixels like we demand for hard drives.

The problem with contrast is more pronounced on my OLED tv than on my HDR LED monitor. I've also noticed on my TV if I watch netflix with standard size subtitles, the brightness overwhelms the lower part of the image on dark TV shows. I suspect this is less of an issue on LED monitors only because the contrast is not so extreme.

Again, all anecdotes. I do like OLED though, enough to make it my priority TV feature.
