For those worried about OLED burn-in

Yep, Sony OLEDs for example still have input lag much higher than LG or Samsung (despite using the same panel).

Personally I dont find it a meaningful difference, I have my ZD9 with 26ms at 4K60, way above modern TVs and it doesnt affect my enjoyment of games, even ones running at 30fps, because the game's engine + double/triple buffering sync and how they process input is more of a contribution to overall lag.

Horizon: Forbidden West running at 30fps feels better than some games do at 60fps do to me, like Borderlands 4 feels very slow at 30 vs 60, probably partly due to it being FPS vs. TPP, but mostly due to Guerrilla processing input way in a better way.
 
I mean … technically … it's not burn-in but burn-out, isn't it? The OLEDs gradually lose their luminance over time as their emissive materials degrade.
 
I recently got a PG27UCDM monitor from Asus at like 25% off. It was still really expensive though, even with the discount. I needed something for a "modern" gaming setup, since all I had was my old 1080p TV and an even way older CRT as I have not gamed since the PS3. I mostly just want to hook up a Switch 2 and a PS5 Pro to it, maybe a PC down the line.

What shocked me is how bright the colors are. I haven't got to use it much yet, but burn in doesn't worry me much. It seems to have a lot of built in protections. It is way more complicated and finicky than anything I'm used to though...
