Thanks @Dirk Diggler

I don't seem to be able to enable 10bit in the control panel. I have 2560x1440 120 Hz 32-bit but the only option for Output Colour Depth is 8bpc. Any ideas what I"m missing??

Ah ok got it. I thought 444 10bit was an option or are we waiting for 2.1 for that?
LCD cannot compete with OLED when it comes to blacks and its ability to turn a pixel off entirely, so yes, very much so. There are other factors to consider, but from a purely VISUAL eye candy standpoint, OLED destroys even the best LCD panels.
Well after a hunt for a TV to replace my 10+ year old Grundig I was initially looking at LG's 49" nano TV's.
Nearly bought one too, had a wonder round Curry's today to have a look at a few others, Long story short ordered the 48" OLED
Cant believe I've spent that much on a damn telly !!!!

Does the display suffer from the possibility of screen image burn? If so, is it wise to game for long periods of time on the display?
Simple answer is yes it's a possibility but only time will tell so not such a simple answer

OLED inherently suffers from this risk. It's not guaranteed you'll get it, but it's always a possibility. Also, it depends what you mean by "long" periods. If it's varied game-play for a few hours a day, you'll be fine. If it's 10 hours+ in Fortnite, 7 days a week, then you might have an issue.
The TV has several methods to reduce burn-in.
One is that on a static image the screen will go dim after a few minutes and only brighten when fairly significant changes occur on the screen (e.g. moving the mouse won't do it but moving the window around will), this can't be turned off as far as I can tell and depending on your own disposition can be annoying (personally I'm fine with it).
Another is a pixel-shift mechanism which will shift your entire screen a few pixels left and right, maybe up and down too, mostly it's entirely unnoticeable but sometimes you'll notice a letter on your desktop icons is slightly off the left of the screen (it's like that right now as I type). This should help with static images.
Also it has a system that detects static parts of the screen like a BBC TV logo etc, and presumably also things like HUDs in games which you are probably worried about, and will lower the luminance in that area only.
All in all I'm not that worried about burn in at all on this display but as others say time will tell.
Oh almost forgot, I also use the Black Frame Insertion system which we have speculated on this thread will help prevent burn in too. But that has the disadvantage of no gsync/freesync and a less bright display.
Another work around is to wait another month or two for John Lewis to get stock of it (due end of September to mid October) and take out the £140 insurance policy which is the only policy on the planet to support burn in issues so at least peace of mind for 5 years.
Otherwise, like everyone else said time will tell since it's a 2020 model people may not find out till 2021/2022 if it suffers burn in issues but hopefully LG have done quite a lot of protection techniques which is good since really the issue should be solved.

I have a black desktop, hide desktop items, taskbar auto hide and dark mode. There is setting on the TV that dims down icons Logo Luminance Adjustment.
I can see some of you chaps have been able to update your software version, but whenever I ask it to check for updates it always comes back with "No updates found".
My software version is 03.00.60.
What's up here, is there a menu option I'm missing somewhere?

Have you enabled automatic updates?
No I've just been pressing Check for Updates.
Mine doesn't have auto updates enabled but still came up and said there was one and gave me the option to install or not.
I've had auto updates selected since Dirk Diggler suggested it earlier today but I'm still not seeing it.
You don't have to have some daft LG login configured do you?
