r/OLED_Gaming - OLED or QLED for gaming? (Afraid of Burn in's)

So i have read a lot about this in the past couple of days, but im still not sure.

I would LOVE to try OLED's true black colors, my budget is 1000-1500$ and the current models that i have in mind are LG OLED 55" C31 vs SAMSUNG QLED 55" N85C becouse those are the ones currently available for good deals in my country and are rated as the best models to buy with my budget by customers.

BUT... those pesky burn in's .... some say that newer LG panels don't get burn in's easily anymore... some say that even after 8000 hours of playing games they don't get any... i'm familiar with image cleaning and pixel cleaning technique but still... there is FIFA that i play a lot and it got many static images like scoreboard all the time present, or does Logo Brightness settings fixes it? But again i heard that this function Dimms most of the screen so what really is the point if it ruins my experience of the screen like this...

AS i have said, i play A LOT of fifa, i play it on my LED monitor but of course if i would get this kind of a screen with 120HZ refresh rate, + Oled i would most probably switch there, ... My wife for example watches alot of youtube so thats gonna be more of static images... logos.. texts and most of the time she lets it running when the videos stops and goes elsewhere... so thats gonna be a real struggle...

I was looking in the store on Qled vs Oleds and i really did not notice the differences in Blacks,,, yes i got LED monitor and when there is really DEEP BLACK scene, there is that annoying backlight bleed...

also the brightness is the next factor, are all OLEDS that dark? or does new panels are nearly similar to qleds in this aspect?

Oled. Made that mistake. Now I have a shitty QN90B in the living room, used for movies and shows. Bought it for gaming, but it was horrible. Realized too late and could not return.

I said fuck it and bought a 42 LG C2. The best image I have ever seen. Never buying an LCD tv ever again.

I'm in the same boat with the QN90b. I didn't think the blur or blooming bugged me but i waited too long to return it. It has a problem though so I'm trying to get it claimed through my credit card so I can go c3.

I have both, preffer OLED, trying to get rid of QLED to replace it with another OLED. I dont like HDR on QLED.

Had an lg OLED for 4 years now and no burn even with my boy falling asleep with TV on all night still image.🤷

I got a LG C2 (OLED) for the PS5, and everything is in fact amazing on it! I even prefer to watch Netflix/HBO on it instead of bigger TV in living room. So yeah, get the OLED!

QD-OLED.

Burn ins are a myth (to some degree). You'd have to leave the tv on with the same static image for years before seeing signs of burn ins. Normal usage, few hours everyday won't cause burn ins.

OLED. At least until micro-led becomes mainstream

QLED can never even compete with OLED in color and contrast - and some basic LED panels will degrade over time even worse than OLEDs actually:
