I don't understand why people can't access the timer and manually trigger the cycle.
You're looking at it from the perspective of a tech enthusiast. The majority of people buying any tech product just want it to turn on, work and continue to work

Any reason or suggestion why the Sony’s are failing quicker than others? They aren’t even the brightest panels either are they?
And they make huge claims of the heatsinks in the top ones.
Glad I made the choice I did and saved a fortune going for the Samsung S95B

They are using LG panels so since the Sony's seem to have a faster and higher failure rate it's likely something to do with the manufacturing process of the electronics on the PCB, maybe a bad component or two
As for burn in and image retention, the Sony's again are the worst but that's because their auto compensation cycle often doesn't trigger and manually triggering it every day by changing the operating mode and pulling the power from the wall makes a massive difference but it's extremely annoying to do

Looks like lg is the one to go for then currently. I have been torn between this and the Philips 808 to replace our tv this winter. Shame I was looking at the Sonys as they also have a centre speaker input for surround speaker setups

I must admit if i had paid £300 to have my OLED calibrated (as i did do with my LG G2), i would be well xxxxxx off if the only way to get a tv to run a pixel clean is to do a complete factory reset.
A proper calibration of a modern OLED actually involves 10's of 1000's of different settings and is done by the calibrators software automatically. There is no record of those settings that can be given to a customer to re-input, because it's not possible to input those settings manually.
When a factory reset is done, ALL those settings are gone. I'm very glad i bought a G2 rather than any other make.

So if I get my lg c9 isf calibrated and do factory reset it'll reset calibration values? I'd want isf cal values to be in the factory reset data.
Say I install a app and it messes up the os and only way is factory reset.
A lot of settings stay within the service menu even after a factory reset. The settings that do get erased, the calibrator will give you them so if you need to reset you can easily put them back. I think there is one button on the remote though called something like in stop or something, that does completely blitz absolutely everything and voids the warranty.

I was halfway through your post and was about to ask what you already answered. I always that it was done manually so you could note the settings.

I always thought it was done manually as well. My first Oled was an LG 65 inch in 2016, in fact the first flat screen 3d Oled. It was calibrated by Vincent Teoh. He input all the settings manually after calibration and then sent me the settings via e-mail latter that same day.
My current 77 inch G2 couldn't be calibrated by Vincent because he has stopped doing it for a living now. So i had it calibrated by Steve Kemp (https://www.displayandsoundcalibration.com/). He is the ISF instructor for the UK and for some parts of Europe.
During his time at my house he told me that should i ever have to do a factory reset, all the settings his software would be uploading to the tv will be lost and it would need to be re-calibrated. I asked him why, as Vincent had sent me all the settings. Steve said with modern tv's that simply is not possible.
Yes, i have access to basic settings, but not to any HDR settings and not to multiple setting for all input sources at the same time. This amounts to 10's of 1000's of settings, 99% of i have no access to at all.
When the calibration was done the upload from his laptop to my G2 took nearly half an hour, so i have no reason to question what he said lol. He did also tell me that no firmware update will affect the settings..............................thank god
Calibration and the complexity of tv's has come a long way since my first Oled in 2016.
