What pushed me was the "futureproofness", even if a bit irrelevant now, of HDMI 2.1 ports. It is also a better tv on almost all front except maybe peak brightness and of course the additional 10". But I figured it was almost too much for the room I'm going to be putting it in anyway...
Ya i am aware of the mitigating options too.ekredflagdeals wrote: ↑ Yes, burn-in is my main concern as well but after some reading, I started to lean more towards the fact that the danger might be a bit blown out of proportion.
Do you have to be careful? Definitely. But you have a bunch of ways to setup things so that the screen changes automatically if you forget it on static content. Obviously this is corporate talk, but I was also somewhat convinced by LG's information page on the subject. They do have multiple mitigating features in place, which makes me wonder why rtings would give it a 1.0 rating. I mean, these features should at least bump the rating a little. It's not like they're doing nothing to fix/mitigate it.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your TV too!
I'll let you know my impressions when I get mine. Hope you do too!

Burn in, I've yet to experience it with the LG OLEDs, originally they didnt have the anti burn in options enabled by default, but the new ones do (static images on my screens all the time, the pixel refresher I run before bed time almost every night though, but thats a me thing).
I didnt have issues with binding or weird white on either of my LGs, but some people report it. I like the OS........but again mostly a personal thing
Do you mind sharing how you do those tests? I'm not familiar with this.
Just saerch 4k tv test in youtube. There a bouch of them.ekredflagdeals wrote: ↑ Do you mind sharing how you do those tests? I'm not familiar with this.
Thanks!
You cant really defeat other peoples habits, I ran pixel refresher everynight before bed on my E7, I ran a bunch of those burn in tests, no burn in :P probably stupid overkill
the C9 77" screen are pretty awesome, didnt have a C8 or C7 series to compare but for the dolla bills, Im happy with the C9 77" for sure

But the possibility of getting it just bothers me a lot.
Maybe i will overcome it
I will just stay with px75 for the 3 months honeymoon period, and see if i can get over it.
Btw, make sure to do a series of testing on the oled before you gonna keep it.
Vertical banding test, and 5% gray uniformaty(i returned an e9 cuz of that )
Attached pic. Make sure do an exchange if you do have a panel like that.
Wish us all goodluck~
