Hey everyone, I have a question for those who have been gaming on an OLED TV for a while. I'm considering getting a Samsung S90D OLED TV but I'm worried about the risk of burn-in. Given that I spend a lot of time playing games, can anyone share their experiences with burn-in on OLEDs? I've heard that it's more of an issue for those who watch channels with static images, like news, but I'm curious about how it affects gaming. I also came across a setting on the TV called screen move—does that actually help prevent burn-in? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Burn-in is definitely a concern for gaming, especially with static elements like HUDs. I’d be wary of Samsung panels, though; they can come with a ton of ads and annoying software. Also, just a heads up: only the 55" model of the S90D is a QD-OLED; the others are WOLED, which are cheaper to make. So shop wisely!
I’ve been using a Corsair OLED for work and gaming for a year with burn-in prevention turned on, no issues so far! Fingers crossed that it stays this way.
I've had my Samsung 49" OLED G95SC for about a year and a half, and thankfully, no burn-in yet! I have the anti-burn-in option on. It shifts elements around a bit, and I think it’s doing its job. Also, I got an extended warranty just to be safe. If you’re going for it, keep the anti-burn settings enabled and avoid leaving the screen on when you're not using it. Walmart had the best extended warranty when I looked!
You’re worrying too much! Just go ahead and buy the TV and enjoy it. Burn-in is pretty much inevitable with all OLEDs; it's just a matter of when. Some TVs have 'anti-burn-in' features, but they're really just delaying the inevitable. If you're looking for something without burn-in, check out Mini-LED TVs instead.
Burn-in still happens, especially as OLEDs become more common. While there are some measures to reduce the risk, you can still end up with permanent image retention if you aren't careful about what you display and for how long.
