I know it makes no difference if you're only using this screen for gaming but are LG ever going to put Gigabit Ethernet ports on their OLEDs?

A lot of things that are mentioned in these cases are usually unnoticeable or only applicable in specific situations, but of course now that nowadays we ask for reviews of TV's in the most exhaustive of engineering-level detail we exaggerate the impact to the levels where all of a sudden such minor niggles are suddenly "unacceptable" to those who consider themselves knowledgeable enthusiasts. The fact is if you never heard about then you would likely never notice.
I am not saying it isn't good to have all the information, I am a man of science and in the end it is our hard-earned money that we want to mae sure we are spendng correctly, but I think that collectively we do develop a level of perfectionism in our expectations that is often unrealistic and in many cases not even necessary. It's easy to get carried away readig all of this stuff and I consider myself among those that sometimes do before I give myself a reality check.
Indeed as soon as I read the review I was "CANCEL!". Then I looked at it again and put my sensible head on and realised I may not even notice. Still hyped!
I dont see why not. I mean does a screen stay on the same picture for many hours? ... I do Everything on my computer (monitor) at home granted its not an oled but a nice 43" and Im always going from one thing to the next. I dont work form home but do other things.

Yes you can, but you're taking a risk long term with £1500 that the screen may develop permanent visual artifacts most likely where the toolbars are. Use a dark theme at least. ;P
Yeah I'm gonna stick to IPS/VA. Looks like have to treat it like a plasma TV.
I don't do enough gaming.

Some people have done it successfully with an OLED for years and some got burn in after first month. I think the main thing to remember is that none of the manufacturers give burn in guarantees.

I think the issue is that rtings are not very clear with their reviews. They need to be a lot more comprehensive with their explanations and not only offer 1-3 sentences. tftcentral does a good job at that.
Seen that and trying to pick apart what "EvilBoris" is saying. In dummie terms is he saying, once he calibrated accounting for the crush manually, it allows him to use VRR without elevated black levels?

Absolutely, but it wont help you I guess. I should have said Sweden maybe, as thats were I live
Static images for hours a day? You dont take any breaks and just sit there for 12 hours with the same image on screen?
No but the task bar, and other such menus could be there for a lot of the time.Static images for hours a day? You dont take any breaks and just sit there for 12 hours with the same image on screen?
If you use moving screensavers that kick in after a short time of inactivity then you are very likely not going to get burn in. Tests on modern OLED's show that it takes many hours of static images to get burn in, more than people realistically display at any given time.
I'm talking more of photoshop where half the screen is menus. Or coding software where the same applies

I wouldn't use mine for productivity. Too much money to just **** it away 
Edit: Seriously, that's in the filter? Jeez...

And I repeat the question... how often are you doing this for 10+ hours without any break? You don't get burn-in from just a few hours.

Uhm... if it's being used for productivity, I'd expect it's probably done for a living - so you're definitely looking more than a few hours a day. 8 hours a day, even with breaks and other use in between, is going to add up. Burn in is cumulative.
Yes I was thinking about it for similar CAD work when not gaming but burn in is a concern, I currently use a QLED LCD and it is great but panel is a bit slow for games so fancied an upgrade.
Whaaat? I do productivity stuff without "doing it for a living". I photo edit, I use office, etc etc.
As I said already, if you are telling me that you are not going to be taking any breaks from your PC and cannot set a screensaver to come on quickly when the machine is idle then I would say you are in a specific minority of use cases.
