Hesitant with another OLED - Should I go with QLED?

[DiscoDave]

Hi all,

I'm going to relocate my current TV (LG OLED C7V) into another room and therefore need a suitable replacement.

I also have an Xbox series X that I want to use on whichever TV I get next.

Here's my dilemma, my C7 has a small amount of burn-in, which by the position and size I assume is either the Sky Q or Netflix progress bar. With games having static HUD elements I'm concerned that I'll get burn-in again and more significant.

My choices are:

* Go with another OLED, but get the John Lewis cover (£150 extra) which covers burn in - I'm thinking the C1 as it's ~£1000 less than the 2022 model
* Go with a QLED, and not worry about burn-in, something like the QE65QN94A

Would a 2021 QLED be a downgrade from my 2017 OLED?
Are the OLED anti-burn in mitigation improvements since my model improved enough I don't need to worry?

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for the reply chaps.

Just put of interest, do you watch netflix via the sky q box or direct from the tvs built in app?

Built in TV App.
