Unfortunately Mr Unopinionated once your OLED tv has gone wrong but then fixed with a new panel then it’s not cost effective to change to an lcd tv when you have a perfectly good OLED tv again.Also once you’ve had issues it does make you lose confidence in the technology and do wonder how long the new panel will last.
Its rather flippant of you telling owners not to go with OLED TVs when they are stuck with them after repair.Its an awfull lot of money to lose which most people can’t afford to do by suggesting they go to an lcd tv.
I don’t worry as life’s too short and I very much enjoy my E7 it’s the best tv I’ve ever had but I’m not confident about how long it will last.Certainly not 14 years like my old Sony lcd which my neighbour still has going strong.
Homeby51 has an extreme fear of OLED burn in. Read his messages. If you have an extreme fear of OLED Burn In, like many on this post, it would be stupid to buy an OLED. Life is to short to be anxious and have to babysit your TV. Note: Homeby51 said he was thinking about selling his refurbished OLED TV and buying an LED TV like his parents. I fully recommend that he should do this.
I have read Staffy 2 messages. Sometimes it seems like you still fear OLED Burn In and sometimes it sounds like you don't think it is a significant problem. For you I would say OLED Burn In is not a significant problem and point out what the experts say (see below). I wouldn't give you advice on whether to buy an OLED TV or a LED TV since I don't know if you believe OLED Burn In is a significant problem or not.
I have a OLED TV and it suits me fine since I don't fear burn in and cost isn't an issue for me.
My point is if you fear burn in do not buy an OLED TV. Life is to short to be anxious and have to babysit your TV.
Finally I would point out to anyone that if cost is a concern go with a LED; IPS if you need wide angle or VA if you don't need a wide viewing angle. Most people will be fully satisfied with a mid range LED TV. Especially if you don't study the differences between LED TVs and OLED TVs.
Next I would say to stay away from certain brands (Hisense, Vizio, Westinghouse, RCA, etc.) as well because of reliability issues.

Although we don't expect most people who watch varied content to have
any issues, OLED TVs, such as the LG OLED C9 do have the possibility of experiencing burn in.

OLED Burn In Risk is Overblown
Consumer Reports
Their statistical data shows that OLED Burn In is such a rare occurence that they don't even mention it as anything to be concerned with except for some 2015 OLED TVs.
Geoffrey Morrison and David Katzmaier of CNET
If you vary your TV viewing habits like most people, however, it won't be an issue. Even so, caveat emptor. Or as Caesar once said, "Conscientiam autem ardeat sed non anxius" (be aware of burn-in, but not concerned).
John Archer of Forbes
Occurrences of permanent screen burn in the real consumer world are now and will continue to be rare.
Atomicus of Chichester
One thing that seems abundantly apparent is that while by no means should it be suggested that burn-in doesn't exist, the problem is nowhere near as widespread or as much a certainty as some people fear and/or lead others to believe.
