Burn in need a lot of hours of static images on screen to happen. If you are just using it normally, chances are it won't happen.

Example usage that contribute to burn in is playing game like Diablo that have static overlay for a long long time.

About the claim, it depends on cases also. Manufacturer can check your TV uptime to see if has been used a lot or not.

could be also for work + youtube use
sometimes static like certain web page then go out for lunch/dinner
or game then go out for meal and etc (meaning the page / game is not off for 2-4 hours or more)

so that is my concern

Those bun-in test is torture method not actual usage.

But actual usage it is too earlier to tell also.

I choose to believe as long not closing those prevention pixel shift and refresh, also with screen saver on where I set screen saver auto run after idle 2 minutes and screen off after 5 mins, with this settings, I believe it shouldn't be that easier burn-in.

For actual case in my usage. So far ok but only LG C9 used for around 3 years. The rest is few months only.
  • 2020 - LG C9 - used as TV, no burn-in.
  • 2022 - Asus Vivobook 15 OLED - I buy demo set, no burn-in.
  • 2023 - LG OLED Flex - used as MacBook Pro M2 monitor, no burn-in.
  • 2023 - Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 - used as Gaming PC monitor, no burn-in.
  • 2023 - Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED - just purchased last month, no burn-in.

Do you have burn in on the start menu or menu bar where things are always static?

It will take way more than 2-4 hours to start getting burn in.

I would just get IPS especially if want to use it for long term, OLED is nice but it is not a mature technology nor necessary IMO.
