Is OLED really great for computer use? I would imagine all of the static UI would make burn-in an issue

I love working at night. I'm flexible on every requirement but OLED for my non travel laptop. No OLED = won't buy.

  But the burn in...? You haven't gotten it? Or do you swap out device/screen when it happens?

    IDGAF about burnin. I care about working at night, and the $ benefits of my extra productivity are greater than hardware replacement costs. Also I have worldwide next day onsite warranty (the #1 reason I like Lenovo!), so if or when somethings becomes a problem, it will be solved quickly without even going to a repairshop let alone leaving my laptop there!!

      If that warranty really works as advertised.. sounds like a great situation, and you get the OLED. OLED is great yeah.

  How long have you had it? I want one but I am scared of burn in. That's for a TV and a monitor

    About 6 months. I use Windows 11 with no "fixed element" (ex: hidden taskbar, each app is in fullscreen) which may mitigate such issues. I've checked recently with a pixelcheck tool and I couldn't see any alteration, but we'll see in a year or two!

        I admire your trust in me, but put it in your calendar or something, because I'm sure I'll forget

  What does working at night has to do with OLED?

An OLED screen is a dealbreaker for me on anything but a smartphone. I don’t want risk of burnin anywhere near any large expensive display. I have laptops that are over a decade old and have seen a ton of use and their screens are still in great shape, which almost certainly wouldn’t be the case had they been equipped with OLED panels. The moment that microLED displays start hitting the market however I will be buying them. All of the advantages of OLED without the drawbacks. Until then it’s IPS/VA for me.
