"But I ruined the last OLED I had burning artifacts into its display."
I'm a bit confused. (I'm also 70 years old....") I had an Atari 2600, and a Sega Genesis. I recall that many of my classmates learned the hard way that if you were not actually playing a game, you needed to turn the hardware off. If you left pong on the screen all night you might be forever haunted by the video ghosts, aka artifacts.
I thought that this was an issue that was dealt with back in the late 70s or early 80s. By any chance were the artifacts you mention come from a PC game, or was it an ordinary tv show?

The latest Samsung OLEDs look incredible also but they just aren't suitable for HTPC use in their current form, I'm hoping this won't be the case for too much longer.
