Seriously it is not. I have a LG C9 and bought it after recommendation from friends who game on theirs. If you are going to leave it on the same screen all day long there are better choices, like having it on a new station that has a permanent ticker or channels which insist on a permanent logo. You have to go out of your way to force burn in, there has been some good 3rd party testing [0] Oh, as for the TV, the colors are astounding and its thinness is just a bit on the silly side, seriously from one third on up from the base it is as thick as iPad I expect micro LED to over take it one day but for now if you are a movie aficionado there is no subsistute, this is especially true when dealing with letter boxed movies as there is no bleed into the black borders [0] https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/real-life-oled-burn-in-test https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/real-life-oled-burn-in-test

C9 is still pretty new, isn’t it? My C6 burn in is awful.

  I use my B6 for watching TV (streaming) and for gaming. I have absolutely no burn-in of any kind. Also see: https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/real-life-oled-burn-in-test https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/real-life-oled-burn-in-test

  I have a C7 and after running it maybe 4-5 hours / day average I haven't seen burn-in. If anything, not watching cable news is an improvement to our lives and when I eventually upgrade I can use it for gaming and not mind that the burn-in is happening for anything remotely serious. LG's input and panel latency with OLED is quite an exception and is one reason I paid for such a panel.

    Another C7 user here checking in, had it for almost 3 years now - about 5hrs/day of mixed use TV/movies and it's still awesome. No sign of burn-in and I check it with color slides every few months. I think the C6 panels were much more prone to burn in than C7. Some people with C7 panels had problems with a bug where the automatic compensation program does not run which greatly accelerates burn in, but I believe LG is replacing TVs for people who get that. My C7 looks absolutely stunning with good sources 4k/HDR. I'm happy with my purchase every day and would never think about going back to crappy LCD.

I have a C9. Best television I’ve ever owned. I’ll be heartbroken if it suffers burn-in in a couple of years.
