“I have a early model (OLED65B6P-U) 65 inch OLED tv that after 3 1/2 years has burn in to the point that I'm looking into another tv to replace it. Why would I ever want to spend that kind of money again for something that can still happen?”

I asked the question, attached is a picture of my screen. I thought that burn in was a thing of the past, like plasma TVs. Should have done my homework better. Just search for oled burn in.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I also purchased a oled65b6p a little over 4 years ago, and the color now is horrible. I've done everything I could find online to fix the discoloration, but to no avail. Spent $3000 for the tv back then. I absolutely did not expect to pay that much for a tv and have this issue 4 years out. The narrative that this doesn't happen with average viewing or this can happen on other panel displays is false. We've done the things recommended to prevent the burn-in over the years. I also own two Samsungs that I bought years before the LG and they are still displaying well. Think be looking to replace the LG with Samsung QLED.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the same issue. We bought our LG 65 inch OLED from Costco along with the 5 year extended warranty plan. In the fine print neither LG nor the Costco third party warranty company give any warranty for burn in. Our burn in is from a banner that runs across the bottom of the screen from a news channel. I’d heard that LG was aware of the issue...and no matter how good their explanation is about how their technology will prevent burn in.....it doesn’t. So thanks LG and thanks Costco...I should’ve done more research and read the fine print. Nether company offered to help or replace
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Burn-in and image retention are possible on virtually any display. 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
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I own a 55 inch LG OLED that has burn in after a little over 4 years. Luckily I bought a 5 warranty and will be receiving some compensation to use toward a new tv. I dont think I am going to buy another OLED. My burn in happened from watching regular television. Channels like Fox News, TLC, NBC, etc all show their channel emblems at the bottom corners. Those emblems are permanently burned into the screen now. I also have the scroll bar from Fox News burned into my tv. If you watch a lot of tv channels that show emblems on the screen you will 100% get burn in eventually. Mine happened slowly. Also, if you watch the tv in vivid mode this happens a lot faster. The picture in Vivid, when tuned right, is incredible but it ruins the screen faster I believe since the panel is brighter. Buyer beware.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.So… these early LG oleds particularly the B7’s, the CPU was placed too closely to the screen, and over time, usually after 2.5 years of use, when the cpu heats up, it also causes slow burn/fade from the center of the screen out. LG knew of this years ago, and changed their design with future models, but these early entry level LG oleds are all failing in the same way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’ve had the E6 65” since 2016 and have had no burn-in issues whatsoever. It really depends on what you watch and for what length of time.
