I have a 34" IPS ultrawide from 2018 that I’ve been using heavily for work and personal use (essentially 14+ hours a day). Since it’s an IPS panel I have no worry about burn-in. And I can keep using it for another 6-7 years without worrying about it.
With an OLED panel in the same scenario, I’d expect to see some burn in happening within 3 years of getting it.

LCDs won’t go anywhere. They are cheap, bright, and don’t suffer from burn-in.

And OLED won’t go anywhere unless something as revolutionary comes around. LCD is for the poors, and I’ll never go back.

… OLED suffer from burn in. They have a built in expiration date. MicroLED is an exciting development that will improve upon existing technology. Probably.

Sure, eventually. In the meantime videos and games look incredible.
As long as the screen lasts 5+ years, I won’t be too upset.

I mean, I have an OLED monitor that cost like 850. Lasts 5 years and that’s 170 bucks a year for an amazing visual experience. Worth it.

µLED doesn’t experience any burn in, lasts decades, has perfect blacks and can reach higher brightness than you would ever want to look directly at. If they can get them to where OLEDs are now in terms of price they’ll take over the market.

Any display with pixels that produce light can burn in. MicroLED is supposed to be less susceptible because of the longer operating life of the LEDs, but there’s not a whole lot of information out there since microLED displays are still pretty rare.
