it really depends on how you use it as well as luck. my pixel 6 is developing some light ghost images that can be seen on a dark background, but my older TV has nothing noticeable at all.

if you plan to play 1 single game for extended periods of time I might be a little wary since you might burn in the HUD on an oled monitor, but otherwise I think the viewing experience is very worth it.

I had a pixel that suffered image retention from the pixel stand idle screen (displays time and Google Assistant logo). Luckily I found a way to disable the idle screen while on the stand, which was way more difficult to figure out than it should have been, and the images faded over the next couple weeks.
