Otherwise the fun is short lived. Games already have static UI elements, so that's a problem as it is. Same goes for TV with the network logo in some corner... worth avoiding!

Use a screensaver and you'll be fine. I used a plasma for almost 6-months as a Desktop and no burn-in in sight and they are arguably worse.

And yes the filter tech is common in OLED displays, because otherwise they won't wear evenly, think of wear levelling on SSDs, they all have it

Only LGs have it. I think they own a patent. Samsung notably doesn't.

Hard to go wrong with Panasonic, IMO. They really do know how to make TVs.

Real hard to find a Panasonic that does 444 chroma subsampling though... so kinda sucky for PC usage.

I donno man, both my Samsung's phone and tablet with AMOLED displays have a perfect quality. Not sure how they lost any race...

Let it age.

LG is using white OLED patent that they bought from Kodak when it went out of business.

Well, yeah, but 'off' is only an illusion with the background radiation present in our universe. :)
I'm just making a case to adapt to it: cut back gamma for the blue channel 0.2 notes increase its brightness and contrast, reduce lcd brightness. I read an essay sometime in the past. I cannot find it, but can vouch for it to work out as stated.

It was a case of replacing mobile brightness with gamma and saturation. Let's be realistic, backglow is uncalibrated black level.
Turns out I have stumbled upon a great idea. Thanks, Norman Koren.
In other words,

Gamma is contrast.

The Contrast control on monitors and television sets is actually brightness, and the Brightness control is, as we've seen, black level.

That article is from 2005 and concerns CRT monitors. LCDs work differently and must thus be adjusted differently. The brightness controls of an LCD affects its black level, but only indirectly as the black level rises as the backlight brightens. Contrast controls on an LCD do not affect the intensity of the backlight and as such can't affect brightness in any meaningful manner.

I am not dismissive, but there is a lot going on you might have missed. For instance, gamma is linear at the lower end of the luminance range. I bet you didn't know that... No pressure, just keeping things on the same page.
