Does this brand have burn in problems like the LG null

The answer in the owner's manual from Sony is YES. They give advice on how to best avoid this issue, but it can occur. After a set amount of time, as little as 5 minutes, the TV will begin a screen saver function, to help prevent burn in. You can also program a sleep or auto off feature; sleep can be set as to as low as 30 minutes, auto off in as low as 15 as part of the Eco power settings function. I own this exact model, so all of the functions and times I've listed are exact; I made sure to access all these menus while I was typing this response, just to make sure I was giving you all accurate info.

No none seen yet. At 100 hours of viewing. Dont expect any as well

My understanding is that LG produces all of the OLED screens, and Sony buys the screens from LG. As far as I know, neither the Sony or LG warranty covers burn-ins, which they consider a natural event, not a defect, in all OLED screens. Burn-ins most often occur when there is a fixed image on the screen for a prolonged period of time, such as a station logo (CNN, FOX, etc, or those you see on the screen during most sports broadcasts.) Until the manufacturers are willing to cover burn-ins under their warranty it seems foolish to buy an OLED (a very expensive TV). I am amazed the professional reviewers, including Consumer Reports, don't make a bigger issue of this major defect innate in all OLED TV's. I know I won't be buying one. Best of luck.
