Should I buy this monitor? How much is burn-in risk? I should avoid and wait for upcoming OLED panels? 

 

Thoughts?

if you want a 27" 1440p OLED monitor 240hz get the Asus PGAQDM its brighter and better.

Should you buy an OLED display that is also a computer monitor? Absolutely not. OLED as a technology is simply not viable for use cases that require static UI elements.  The following video is specifically regarding TVs, but the underlying technology is the same and the reality of burn in is the same.

 

 

I would personally not buy a OLED display on a computer, and only on a TV if all I ever did with the TV was watch movies/shows (specifically not cable or news/game shows) for a few hours a day max.

burn-in risk

Burn-in is OLED characteristics but prevention now had reduce the possible burn-in but it is still new, no one will know whether it will happen in actual usage or not. 

 

Burn-in test wise is torturing the display and not normal usage method. I will not bother those test result. 

 

So far my LG C9 TV use as TV only already 3 years and no burn-in issue.

 

As for my Asus PG42UQ OLED only 3 days old, I can't tell.  

 

You should wait few more years if your main concern is burn-in, as if it really easier to burn-in, you will notice user feedback at internet.

Depending on your use case, for a heavy user, the burn-in risk is significant. It could be as early as in the matter of months or even weeks for the first symptom to appears (depends on how heavy the usage) 

 

It should be reasonably safe if you only use it on the occasion for gaming and media consumption though. As in not 2-4 hours a day, not 8 hours of work plus a couple more hours for gaming everyday,
