I have this TV and play a lot of games like you mention. I have the 5 year warranty from best buy that covers burn in 100% so I tend to not even worry about it and play on HDR with full brightness for the absolute best experience. I test periodically for burn in just to see but have yet to see any sign whatsoever. If you wanted to be 100% sure youd never have an issue I would simply turn the OLED light down a touch or in the very least make sure to dim the in game HUDs for the games if they allow it (most do for HDR since the bright whites of the HUD can be harsh on the eyes). Dimming the HUD alone should cover you but if you set the OLED light to about 80 youd barely tell the difference in brightness but it would certainly lower the risk a LOT. For watching or playing stuff in SDR I would keep the OLED light at around 40-50 and keep peak brightness off. This should eliminate the risk of burn in and provide the best experience still. I keep my OLED light at 40 for casual watching and then during movies where we are unlikely to pause it much at all I crank it up to 70 or 80. This isnt really neccesary but for some dark movies like horror movies it just provides a bit better visuals during dark scenes. The OLED light can certainly be left at 40-50 for SDR and never be changed though if you would rather set it and forget it. I would not let the fear of burn in keep you from enjoying this TV. Just take some minor precautions especially if you opt not to get the warranty. In general, dont leave your OLED light setting at 100 unless its HDR content. OLED light at 100 vs even 50 is hardly noticeable and the risk difference goes from high to non existent.

It is rare for an average TV consumer to create an environment that could result in burn-in. Most cases of burn-in in televisions is a result of static images or on-screen elements displaying on the screen uninterrupted for many hours or days at a time – with brightness typically at peak levels. So, it is possible to create image retention in almost any display if one really tries hard enough. And even if image retention does occur from extreme usage, it can usually be mitigated within a short period of time by turning the display off for a while, and watching a few hours of varying content (such as your standard TV watching and channel-surfing). OLED TVs have special features and settings to preserve image quality and prevent burn in and image retention. First, under OLED Screen Saver there is the Pixel Refresher that calibrates any issues that may arise on the screen when your TV has been turned on for a long time. Calibration takes more than an hour. The second feature that can be employed is the Screen Shift feature which, moves the screen slightly at regular intervals to preserve image quality. A third option is the Logo Luminance Adjustment, which can detect static logos on the screen and reduce brightness to help decrease permanent image retention. ^Daphane
