An oled would have been an instant no-buy from me. I like my devices to actually last.
Inb4 “muh modern OLEDs last a long time, its a fixed problem!” - No it isn’t. They last a bit longer than before, but I literally have burn in on a modern OLED that has the “fixes” right now and it drives me nuts.
Im aware of ghosting, but every LCD device I currently own, each with thousands of hours of use, do not have this issue, whereas both my pixel 2xl and my pixel 6 do, with some faint hints on my OLED Steam Deck (I tried to give OLED a third chance). My wife’s name is permanently etched into the top of my 2xl, and my 6 has extreme color fading from where the notification bar is.
Okay, but burn-in DOES happen with normal use on OLEDs (literally have 2, almost 3 screens with it under normal daily use, not leaving it on for prolonged periods)

Never once had OLED burn in, just don’t leave your device with a static screen for hours and hours…?
Do you know what you can leave on a static screen for hours and hours without damage?
An LCD screen.
Not to say that I do that, but many softwares and games have static UI and HUD elements, like healthbars and notifications.
Hate to tell you this but LCDs also can get ghosting (burn in) and they can get it easier than OLED screens.

Ghosting is caused by a scene or display sitting still over time. It doesn’t just happen with normal use.

That’s crazy. I have all OLED stuff for 7+ years and nothing noticeable at all for ghosting.
