Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Seems like a similar problem.
Do you think Samsung is using B-grade panels too in their TVs that use AUO and not their own panels?
Edit: I saw you have tested a lot of TVs lately. How often do you had dead pixels?
We will get 8K TV-s later this year. AUO will start making 8k panels this year.

OLED is overrated anyway. I have a phone with OLED screen and it isn't that impressive at all. OLED has more dead pixel problems, burn in and are overpriced. IPS is still very good and cheap technology. Only thing that OLED does better is contrast, but all other things are almost same as IPS.
