Anyone got a LG C9 Or any other OLED and games on it?

Video game HUD. I forgot to turn the TV off when I dipped out for something. Also had the OLED Light setting on default. Adjusted it, stopped being an idiot, zero since.

Wait what? So the HUD can damage the tv?

I've had my C8 for over a year and I haven't had any burn-ins or image retentions yet, although I tend to disable the HUD in some game and run the pixel refresher occasionally just to be on the safe side.

Absolutely, OLED is as good as it gets. Wonderful TV.

Yes. For the first 100 hours or so, it's a good idea to watch stuff that uses the entire screen with no logos or HUDs. Also, don't leave the OLED Light and Brightness settings where they are by default. When you pause the game, if the HUD stays up, turn the TV off until you come back. What got me worse is the stuff I play's HUDs are red and yellow, the easiest colors to burn in. If I had someone to tell me like you do now, I would have avoided all of it. Join AVS Forum and read the thread for the model you're getting, and they'll tell you EVERYTHING. If you do what you're supposed to, you won't get any.

I wouldn’t put the OLED light any higher than 65 for normal use.

C7 No issues, Play xbox on it.

Never leave a PC hooked up too long, and when I do it's normally mirrored via windows so the TV still goes to screen saver mode.

I looked at a few reviews and they are saying the SONY X950H is as good as the C9, is that possible?

Unless you literally watch CNN all day or have the exact same HUD on screen for months you don't have to worry about burn in.

It's not an OLED. It is INFERIOR. Do not let anything or anyone tell you different. OLEDs are in a class of their own.

Ended up buying this TV. It's better than my C7 but the C7 is no slouch either. All my active TVs are OLED now.

The thing that pains me is back in 2015 I spend $2500 on that 55 inch 4K Samsung JS9000 and in 2020 it just sits in the corner cause I'm not selling it for pennies on the dollar I paid for it.

Yeah, unless it's running in a sports bar or office lobby, burn in isn't an issue.
