C9 is still pretty new, isn’t it? My C6 burn in is awful.

I have a C7 and after running it maybe 4-5 hours / day average I haven't seen burn-in. If anything, not watching cable news is an improvement to our lives and when I eventually upgrade I can use it for gaming and not mind that the burn-in is happening for anything remotely serious. LG's input and panel latency with OLED is quite an exception and is one reason I paid for such a panel.

Another C7 user here checking in, had it for almost 3 years now - about 5hrs/day of mixed use TV/movies and it's still awesome.

No sign of burn-in and I check it with color slides every few months. I think the C6 panels were much more prone to burn in than C7.

Some people with C7 panels had problems with a bug where the automatic compensation program does not run which greatly accelerates burn in, but I believe LG is replacing TVs for people who get that.

My C7 looks absolutely stunning with good sources 4k/HDR.

I'm happy with my purchase every day and would never think about going back to crappy LCD.

I use my B6 for watching TV (streaming) and for gaming. I have absolutely no burn-in of any kind. Also see: https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/real-life-oled-burn-in-test
