it's real and noticeable, there's a reason it didn't replace LCD

>there's a reason it didn't replace LCD
The reason is prices AND people like you peddling this burn in meme for 15y now since the early plasmas

not much if you're aware of it

OLED TVs? Or other OLEDs (phones etc)? Because burn-in susceptibility varies between them.

tvs and monitors.

If you consume a varied amount of media and let the recovery/refresh functions run in sleep mode then it's not a problem. If you're constantly watching TV with logos or using it as a desktop monitor then you're going to have a bad time.

Anyway LCDs are starting to get close. Samsung's latest VAs are wide angle with a good FALD implementation and some reviews suggest it's getting close to OLED in quality. Maybe once Samsung put their micro full array dimming into their LCD TVs they may become so similar it's negligible to anyone except the home theater autists

I have a Samsung Plasma from 2014 and have no burn in on it. Even when I watch streams with static logos on it for hours, no burn in. I will admit there is a slight bit of ghosting but that literally only affects on white backgrounds and last at the worst case 20 ~ 30 seconds.

OLED should be better than Plasma in terms of burn in. As long as you change the background every so often or play games, you shouldn't experience any issues.

Well, all the current OLED TVs use LG panels, which are white OLED (WOLED). These can get brighter and are less susceptible to burn in than RGB OLEDs that are used in everything else. There's at least one 22" ASUS OLED monitor coming out some time, which is made by JOLED and will be using RGB.

The key thing to avoiding burn in on any OLED is to avoid displaying bright, saturated (red, yellow, etc.) static elements for many cumulative hours. So certain channel logos or game HUDs that fall into that category should be avoided.

Burn in is different from retention, which is what I think you're referring to by the ghosting on your plasma. Retention is short term differences that become noticeable but burn in is cumulative. Caused by the same thing but generally referring to different things. When they talk about burn-in people generally mean the pixel becoming outright dimmer over a longer period of time due to built up wear and that can't be corrected. Retention on an OLED happens due to wear too but usually people mean something short term that you can even out by watching something else or using the refresh feature because it's very minimal. There are people who avoid burn in with close management and people who just watch enough varied content that the wear is even, but it's a real concern for a PC user.
