Ah that sucks. How old is the tv? And what’s the brightness in it?

My 3 year old Panasonic gets used a lot but we keep the brightness down to the 45–55% range (it’s plenty bright) to avoid burn in. We also don’t display static content on it. And when we do, it’s mostly from Kodi which dims itself after 10 min or so.

All that to say for those who are fearful of OLED because of burn in: don’t be. With some precautions, it’s fine. And having true blacks is absolutely glorious. I enjoy it every time I use the screen.
