I'm so glad that we are moving away from screens that will last 20+ years to screens that will be in a landfill after 2 years because of burn in.

On the one hand, I agree with you that the expected lifespan of current OLED tech doesn't align with my expectation of monitor life... But on the other hand, I tend to use my monitors until the backlight gives out or some layer or other in the panel stackup shits the bed, and I haven't yet had an LCD make it past the decade mark.

In my opinion OLED is just fine for phone displays and TVs, which aren't expected to be lit 24/7 and don't have lots of fixed UI elements. Between my WFH job and hobby use, though, my PC screens are on about 10 hours a day on average, with the screen displaying one of a handful of programs with fixed, high contrast user interfaces. That's gonna put an OLED panel through the wringer in quite a bit less time than I have become used to using my LCDs, and that's not acceptable to me.

I think a lot of modern OLED panels will do a pixel shift if they detect a static image for too long. I never notice it on my TV, but might be more noticable on a monitor that you are closer to.

Sure but this is one of the differences between tv and monitor.

tv time is max a few hours, lots of dark, lots of movement, pixel shifting has no impact
work monitor is 8+ hours, close work, high brightness/contrast. I don’t know if pixel shifting is noticeable but it’s more likely, plus there’s more static element, more bright, more contrast

RTings does a lot of long term OLED burn in tests usually displaying CNN since red tends to cause burn in better

Here is a pretty recent video on it including some monitors. It's interesting that ultra wide monitors have more problems than regular 16:9 ones.
