OLED Burn-In
Burn-in is a concern for many gamers. OLED TV's have a low risk for permanent image retention with varied/general use. The colors red/orange are most susceptible, and display brightness impacts the chances as well. Many OLED owners on Era have put in well over 100+ hours into games (without varied content) and have not experienced permanent image retention. Kyoufu on the other hand has a Netflix logo burned in, something that seldom appears on screen. The poll conducted at AVS below have 9% of OLED owners experiencing permanent burn-in. Having owned 4 OLED's, my personal opinion is that outside of panel lottery, permanent image retention is unlikely. Below are two resources worth looking at when researching OLED burn-in.

Save Up To $500 Using Credit Card Price Protection (USA, AVS)
Purchase your TV using any credit card that offers price protection (Chase in this example). I did this with my OLED purchase and got it for effectively $1000 last year. Gather the following:
You just have to find a website that is selling the exact model you have for a lower price. It doesn't if it's an authorized dealer or a reputable business. I used Cliff Deals because they had the lowest price I found. Chase said once approved, it takes 5 days to send out a check."
- Claim form
- Itemized receipt
- Card statement showing the purchase
- Printed ad or non-auction Internet ad with sale price, store or dealer's name, and the date the sale is in effect (print screen works)

HDMI 2.1 Feature Comparison Image
CES January 2018
New product announcements for TV's and AV equipment. Expect a lot of HDMI 2.1 devices.
HDMI 2.1
The new HDMI2.1 specification has just been announced and it contains some really good improvements over HDMI 2.0
- Higher Video Resolutions support a range of higher resolutions and faster refresh rates including 8K60Hz and 4K120Hz for immersive viewing and smooth fast-action detail.
- Dynamic HDR ensures every moment of a video is displayed at its ideal values for depth, detail, brightness, contrast, and wider color gamuts-on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis.
- 48G cables enable up to 48Gbps bandwidth for uncompressed HDMI 2.1 feature support including 8K video with HDR. The cable is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the HDMI Specification and can be used with existing HDMI devices.
- eARC supports the most advanced audio formats such as object-based audio, and enables advanced audio signal control capabilities including device auto-detect.
- Game Mode VRR features variable refresh rate, which enables a 3D graphics processor to display the image at the moment it is rendered for more fluid and better detailed gameplay, and for reducing or eliminating lag, stutter, and frame tearing.
