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.

And 3000 hours is 10 hours a day of on time for 300 days...how long are people using their monitors to stretch it to 2 years? I use my PCs and monitors for work, which is usually 7-8 hours a day, if I game later, then add another hour or two. That means burn in for normal use is in under a year.
