> After getting an OLED tv a few years back I can't imagine myself spending money on anything with lesser quality. What about OLED's burn-in problem? Computers usually have a lot of GUI elements in the same place for long period of times. > and most importantly, a glossy display Glossy displays can be good for prettier colors but can have glare problems from other light sources. This post is about picking a monitor for software development, why would glossy be better than matte for that use?

I have been using my 2016 55" B6 hooked up to my computer for years now, I write this on that screen. I babied it in the beginning. Nowadays I tend to forget it on. I have a tiny amount of burn in on the white subpixels from the top bar in windows due to previously having the default white layout. Turned on dark mode now to mitigate that. All other colors are fine. Completely invisible in regular usage. Got scared by that and moved the taskbar to the side, no burn-in at the bottom though. I guess because that was a darker tone. Also used it at maximum OLED light until I noticed the first burn-in, so it's not like I was nice to it even though I babied it regarding static elements. Sadly I can't find the "total hours on" setting on this one, seems to be removed from the settings. > Glossy displays can be good for prettier colors but can have glare problems from other light sources. This post is about picking a monitor for software development, why would glossy be better than matte for that use? Because I want clarity. Why put the perfectly crisp text and other elements through a blur filter??

  Glare monitors are superior for clarity, but I prefer non-reflectiveness for reading texts since it's enough clear. Watching movie is a bit different story.
