I've been following OLED news for years now and was very excited recently, when the first TV (well... aside from that Sony thing...) finally went on sale (or so reports about it being released in Monte Carlo lead me to believe). And there's actually a thread about it right on this forum, which I only just now found.
But besides some things that are being criticized about OLED displays (some sort of "black splotches" for instance - which I've never seen on my Samsung Galaxy though...), recently another thing came to my mind: plasma TVs.
And at least on wikipedia, it says "Plasma displays are highly susceptible to burn-in, while LCD-type displays are generally less so. Because of the more rapid luminance degradation of current organic compounds used in OLED-type displays, OLED is even more susceptible to burn-in than plasma."
No source provided though.
So is OLED yet another technology that will really only be good for TVs, mostly just watching shows/movies because even games could cause burn in?
And is there any other hope on the horizon I may not be aware of?
