want to upgrade from almost 11 year old 55in samsung f7100...

Although quite wishful, but i hope the next tv can last another 10 years...

Mainly tv and netflix...maybe console in the future...will be on about 6 hours a day.

With that in consideration, for samsung brand, 65 inch size should i get :
1) s90c oled; or
2) qn95c qd miniled

i understand the price difference, i can accept it

how much should i worry for oled burn in?

S90C is a Quantum Dots OLED TV , pretty much the only type of TV where Quantum Dots yield HUGE benefit , it is significantly better than any Mini-LED TV in terms of visual aspects.
Or if you can find a S90D at similar prices which is just as good.
Unless you are ONLY going to watch just 1 specific sport / news channel with a HUGE logo,you also have nothing to worry about.
Most of the people who got Burn-In from OLED are ppl who have bad watchings habits such as :

1) Away from the TV to speak on the phone for 3 hours.

2) unplugging / turning off the power supply for OLED TV screen is off. OLEDs need to work their pixels magic in the background when powered off , you don't turn off the TV completely unless it is for reboot once in awhile.

3) turning AUTO-HDR on every type of content , even for non HDR games / movies. Not only this is entirely pointless, it is actively pushing the TV limits ( HDR demands 100% brightness values from the TV ).

4) Mistakenly bought a used / second hand OLED display that was already being exploited for thousand of hours .

Otherwise for the normal guys who play a variety of content such as streaming , playing different games ,  the modern OLED are very resilient towards Burn-In.  ( I have 9 OLED TVs now , none of them have burn-ins . 3 of them have 12k hours + watched) .

i see....regarding the pointers raised, especially on 2....

how to protect from the occasional lighting surge?

and is it worthwhile to fork out for extended warranty? almost 20% of the price for extra 3 years

You can unplug the TV during the thunderstorm. Just don't do it everytime , allows the TV times to finish its business .
Get one of those power surge protector.
As for the warranty , it depends on if it covers dead pixels , burn in and other issues. If it does , 3 years is still a good deal.
If your TV is broke during that 3 extra years and the TV model / sparesparts are obsolete , they may replace your TV entirely with a newer model.
Again though you also want to check if the warranty is covered by the shop , or by the brand.  If it is the shop I would say no .

i see.....according to the shop, the extended warranty is underwritten by great eastern....

didn't even know got such arrangements.....things like these getting normal?

does sound like those external warranty cover like certain car brands or for grey import AP cars....
