I have an LG OLED TV, and I would recommend against purchasing an OLED for monitor use.

Burn-in is still a huge issue. I've used mine for about a year and the red channel is full of distracting burn-in patterns from still elements on my screen from things like wallpapers, tiled window borders, taskbar/docks, HUDs from games, etc.

Does anyone know if MicroLEDs could suffer from burn-in as well? I.e. do they also degrade over time based on usage?

LG oled TVs are all white with a color filter.

That's news to me. Any idea what would explain the red channel exhibiting much more burn-in than others then?

I've tested this by filling my screen with each color, and burn-in is by far the most visible with a red fill.

I don't have any knowledge of LEDs, but I believe that the burn in problems in OLEDs are due to them wearing out due to them being organic, which presumably wouldn't affect artificial micro leds
