3 out of 4 OLED screens in my household suffer from burned pixels. It's the early 90s all over again with OLED.

How old are these and how often / how long are they turned on? My OLED TV is over two years old now without any issues even though it gets frequent usage.
I don't buy a TV every 2 years, that's absurd. If I buy a TV, it better work for > 10 years.
You are attacking a straw man instead of answering the question.
They were second hand, idk. They were already burned when they arrived. Suffices for me to say I don't have much confidence in OLED.
There have been a huge progress in this regard! New OLEDs don't burn out like those early generations.
Soooo.... They burn a lot faster? Extra puff of smoke efect for good measure? ;)
I have 3 LG OLEDs of all different generation and they all still go great. It is by far the best tv you can get vs other manufacturers.
You know your phone is OLED right? I'm assuming you left a still image on without the inbuilt screen refresher enabled or something? I remember seeing that way back in the early OLED days but not on good TVs in the last 8~ years.
Yes, that's what bothers me. OLED was the newfangled improved technology, but I'd rather hold out until something better becomes affordable.
