Burn-in is the one big worry with OLED monitors. But evidence that it shouldn't be a dealer breaker for gamers is approaching critical mass thanks to another long-term assessment released today.

YouTube channel Optimum has been using a 32-inch 4K LG WOLED monitor for around 3,000 hours over two years and has found only minor burn-in. This is a particularly handy metric given that one of the best known existing trackers of OLED burn-in by Monitors Unboxed has been based on a monitor with a Samsung QD-OLED panel. Now we have something similar for LG WOLED.

"Only minor".

Also I did the math, it's 125 days of runtime.

Its inappropriate for any display to damage itself within one year of doing its only job.
