That said, I don't watch TV in a traditional sense, I'm 100% streaming. Commercial TV all has those stupid logos that sit in the corner all the time and those can burn in.

I guess different people, react to the possibility of OLED burn in, in different ways.  There are many different usage scenarios, for TVs as well.  E.g. Some people game on them (bigger risk of burn in), while others only watch movies on them.

Peoples stories (on the internet), seem to vary a lot.  There seem to be some, who get plagued by huge problems, with OLED screen burn.  While there are many others, who love their OLED TVs, and don't understand why so many others, seem to have had so much trouble, with their OLED TVs.

The situation, is almost like a big conspiracy theory story.  OLED screen burn vs OLEDs never screen burn, sections of society.

I sit 2" more than arm's length from a 43" 4K screen. I can just about make out the pixels. My partner sits a bit closer (arm's length) to a 32" 4K screen without issue, but for me to use that I have to have Windows in 115% mode. So that's a long way of saying she could see the pixels on my screen. And having used it for some time I could go with a bigger screen with more resolution, sitting the same distance away.

Could my eyes see the individual pixels off to the side of such a screen? Of course not! But that's why my head and eyes can swivel (often independently). If I looked at that part of the screen then there would be no issue and all pixels could be noticed.

The only thing (apart from cost, availability and the ability to drive it) that would prevent me getting such a huge screen would be the flatness of it. It would need to be a curved one, I think. Gosh, it was only yesterday (really) that I was thinking how I could fit two 43" 4K screens in front of me without there being a double-bezel in the middle. An 80" 8K screen would do that nicely.

You’re talking about computer displays. Everyone else is talking about TVs. Same technology, different purpose and constraints, because with computer displays, we can sit close and look at an area of interest; with TVs, we need the entire screen to be in our field of vision the whole time.

At work, I have two 27” 4K displays, run with Windows at 150%. All but one program works perfectly with that scaling (and the singular exception works around 95% correctly, just with a few — luckily not particularly important — parts a bit small). I certainly can’t make out a single pixel on those at arm’s length. On a 43” I’m sure I could.

Part of it might be the same as was true with CRT projection and plasma, out of the box the brightness and contrast is usually cranked way up. If you dial it in to something sensible it will greatly increase the life of the display.

I think competitive gamers consider OLED/QLED screens a consumable item. If it burns in, they use it as an excuse to upgrade to a newer one.
