Ive got it on my c7 - worked out it was the menu thats caused the burn on the left hand side. No burn in on my C8 thankfully.
I had oled on 100% on both

Cant really notice it unless i look for it, its quite mild, its literally 1/6 of the screen, but its just my bedroom tv so it doesnt really bother me.

100%!, wow, you a brave man, for general TV viewing mine is set to 30! and that's with the energy saving setting set to medium that dims it down even further!

what’s the point of buying such a premium tv and then nerfing the brightness just to try and avoid screen burn. Defeats the object of getting the tv in the first place.

4k HDR content I agree definitely, but regular SDR TV content, which to be fair is probably what the majority of peoples viewing is, well that's still mastered at only 100nits peak brightness, so having your TV set to near reference levels for regular TV contant can greatly extend the life of the TV, and it's also correctly matching the content as it was mastered.
Throw in a 4k HDR bluray disc, well that's another matter entirely, I leave the TV to do it's magic on that at 100 oled light as intended.

100 must be too bright surely? I've got my c9 at 50 brightness in a fairly bright room (100 for her, but that's a range rather than fixed). How is it not burning your eyeballs out, I calibrated mine to that level, just interested to know why tlyou went so high?

Yeah, you're right. But some mixed messages on the subject.

That was my feeling, i didnt like it on anything less than 100%, so 100% it stayed.

100 OLED light on normal content would be pretty nuts, it's not about nerfing brightness it's about not being stupidly bright

That would be image retention. It's not a CRT.
Image retention is the non permanent part, once it is permanent it is called screen burn or burn in.

It's image retention. It doesn't damage the screen phosphor as the electron gun on a CRT does.
BTW, I've owned a Plasma for 9 years. Long gaming sessions would leave a feint shadow of the HUD for a couple of hours when new. Once "run in" it's been fine...

What sort of things are you watching on netflix for you to get the netflix logo burned in?
I don't recall anything that i've been watching has the logo on it.

Weren’t reds the worst colour to have on a static image on the older sets? Sure I’d seen that mentioned on avforums.
Yes, I believe that the red pixels were (and probably still are) the colour with the shortest life expectancy, so a lot of prolonged red usage will degrade those pixels faster - as such, things like the Netflix logo while you spend 20 minutes browsing to choose a film are 'high risk'.

Really? You have experienced this yourself or have examples?
I have a C9 which is on about 6h a day, probably even more during the lockdown, with media/gaming and not a hint of retention after 11m.
