Hey fellas.
Looking to purchase a new tv soon and really love the amazing black levels an oled tv can display.
My biggest concern is obviously burn in/image retention regarding widescreen bars from movies. I've read so many posts online and some say black bars won't affect the tv and others mention that because the bars are black, that means the pixels are off and the middle section will burn out more resulting in the top and bottom parts of the screen to be brighter than the middle down the road.
Can someone assure me that this is true or is this just Oled haters saying this stuff? I'd be using my tv mainly for 1080p bluray disc movies and 4k discs (as well as streaming). I'm a gamer but not someone who plays like 10 hours a day. I usually game 1-2 hours a day and some days don't even turn on my Xbox One or PS4.
I'd love to hear back from someone who's owned any oled for a number of years who watches lots of widescreen movies to give me some concrete evidence. This can even be 4:3 tv shows with bars on the left and right.
Before I jump in and start looking at an Oled, I have to know for sure before I spend close to $3,000 on a set. I've seen the black levels on a Q90T (which is one of Samsung's top of the line set) and it still looks grey to me.
So, please feel free to share your experiences with me. I'd love to hear that widescreen bars won't hurt the tv. I'd obviously be switching up content and not watch movie after movie all day long.
Also, I've heard Sony OLED's are the best but I think they're a bit out of my price range. Any suggestions on models that are a tad more affordable?
Thanks!
