Day to day use:
Some gaming, not much.. roughly 3-6 hours a week.
Evening use during the weekdays mostly consisting of
regular TV shows / channels. Will be watching movies, especially
during the weekends.
Been reading so many negative comments regarding OLED technology.
I'm at a point now where I'm actually being pulled away from buying a new OLED TV.
Been checking out the LG C8 65".
My main and only concern, yup you guessed correctly, burn-in.
It's such a widely discussed subject / issue that it cannot be ignored.
Many claim their TV is showing early signs of burn-in after 1-2 years.
These TV's are _expensive_. Yet you need to be careful with what content you watch,
for how long etc. It all sounds a bit disappointing.
Great blacks, vivid colours. It's great. Ultra slim panels. Awesome. But is the burn-in risk
worth all that? At this price point? People say "The burn-in hysteria is blown out of proportion".
I disagree. There is a reason for so many people to complain about this.
I'm currently considering the Samsung Q9FN 65" as a possible alternative to the C8.
This will not get burn-in or severe image retention, and it still offer great colours and blacks
nearly on par with most OLED TV's.
My main priority: When I spend this kind of money, it's a long time investment.
I do not care much for buying a TV that starts to get sick after a couple of years.
Inputs?
