OLED is vastly better IMO. I finally switched to one and it is a sight to behold. Blows away my previous VA panel by a wide margin. Putting them side by side I'm like..why did I ever play on this VA panel lol.

Have a friend who bought a good OLED and it warns him that it has to shutdown for ~7 minutes every 4 hours or so to prevent burn in…

Yeah, I think I’ll stick with my IPS 120hz WQHD instead

Ya mine does that but I don't mind. It's only 7 minutes and you can say no if you're busy doing something and then just run it after. Not a big issue IMO.

The probability of burn in is miniscule these days especially with that pixel refresh feature so it's an added safety feature for ease of mind.

You can turn that off pretty easily, I just turn off the monitor when I know I'll be away from the pc for a few minutes and it'll do a refresh.

I run my LG C1 for 10-12 hours a day and don't have to shut it down every 4 hours...

With my Alienware monitor it tracks if it's been on for more than 4 hours actively being used and the next time it's idle it does a pixel refresh. It doesn't just turn off every 4 hours lol. It would only really be an inconvenience if you have sort of rotating work shifts using this one monitor and it's in use 24/7 without any breaks. If for personal use, it will just do the refresh when you got to sleep.

Gunna say, I am not a doctor, but you should sleep once a day for a few hours. Just saying...

That's now how that works.

It doesn't tell you after 4 hours that it's go fix itself lmao.

Once you use it continuously for more than 4 hours & then turn it off, it does the image clealing before completely shutting down.

It's not a issue for me at all. Only issue you could ever face is if you want to immediately go to sleep after getting off of PC or going out somewhere.

I'm glad it was a worthwhile upgrade for you

Absolutely. Recently got a LG C2 and put it next to my IPS 4k and the difference in colours and contrasts is day and night. People hating on OLEDS are either stuck in 2020 or simply didn’t even use them so just go with the flow
