Yup. My final showdown was doing it with a 5000 pound panel on the line. Volcanos erupting everywhere, lava boiling over in hell. Then in a plot twist, JL come to the rescue with burn in protection and the epic conclusion is reached lol.
LG OLED C9 as a PC monitor - Yes, I'm crazy, Yes time to get some burn in.

Haha, good of JL to collect from inside the volcano

I do not think that OLED TV is a good monitor for a color sensitive work because of ABL (automatic brightness limiter).
This feature changes brightness of a screen based on displayed content. For example if you have just a small 100x100px white rectangle on a black background, the OLED will display it as a very bright, pure white. However if you zoom in the same rectangle it will appear more gray (it will lose its brightness).
This is not a big deal in movies or games but it can be important for adjusting colors/brightnesss in Photoshop.
Some revievers even measure this. Look at the table "SDR Peak Brightness" in this review:

Hello,
I'm willing to use my 55 B8 as a PC monitor. I've done some reading and it appears that some OLEDs have some of a "broken PC mode", which alters gamma curves and stuff.
Here are an example quote from Doom9:
User j82k: "As I wrote in the madVR thread I was trying to use pc-mode on the LG C8 using ycbcr444, which seemed to work ok for SDR.
But that didn't last long, watched an HDR movie and noticed problems with the near-black range. Looking at an HDR black clipping pattern it looks messed up in pc-mode compared to non-pc, switching to full/limited RGB didn't change that.
What I also noticed is that in SDR the gamma curve is different (darker) in pc-mode even when using the exact same settings as in non-pc mode.
So I'm back to standard hdmi input mode. Getting 444 chroma on this TV seems to be impossible without some major issues."
Does anybody know if this has been fixed? Does it occur on your set?
Thank you,
EDIT: sorry for posting this on a C9 thread.. I did so because you guys seem knowlegeable about OLEDS + PCs in general.
