That’s true though my plan is to take care of it because it looks so good. 3 year warranty or not, that’s putting trust in Dell that I’d get a brand new panel as a replacement instead of the runaround and a refurbished panel. Worst case the option is there, but qd-oled is still newer so I don’t think the full burn in potential is fully known.

Don't use it with a PS5, I did this and burned in the aspect ratio, no amount of panel or pixel refreshes will save it either as the pixels in the middle if used enough will simply be far dimmer than those that are off at the edges as they will essentially be newer. Remember, OLEDs burn in due to uneven pixel usage, and seeing as the pixels on the sides are off it leaves those in the middle forming the aspect ratio on and they get dimmer each second that passes. Think of OLEDs like candles, they get dimmer/shorter over time, the ones that are not lit will remain tall and once lit will be brighter than the ones that are now used. It all just takes some time.

You do this long enough and you can burn in the aspect ratio. Gamers will drop like 100hrs+ in games and thats 100hrs+ without those pixels being on. Its a huge waste of money getting this thing for a console as you will just burn in the aspect ratio.
