the dimmer LG TV showed hot spots that the Sony didn’t, with its LEDs measuring a whopping 123° C (253.4° F) with the TV at max brightness

Holy shit. Literally designed to fail.

According to RTing’s latest testing update via that link:

but every other OLED is showing some image retention.

Only one of their OLED displays isn’t burning-in yet. And this is after only 16 months.

They say the burn-in issue is “largely addressed” and link to an article about OLED monitor manufacturers offering a 2-year OLED warranty (3 year in the case of MSI).

That’s pathetic, especially for how much OLED monitors cost. Quality monitors are a costly investment and I use mine for so much longer than 2-3 years. OLED burn-in is not “largely addressed” and is still a significant concern when deciding if I want to drop a grand on a monitor.

It does not help that many new vehicles are built like shit and have complexity for the sake of complexity. Electronic door latches, pop-out door handles, having everything controlled via a clunky, outdated, atrocious GUI, etc etc. These problems are not unique to EV’s but a lot of EV’s are going to have them just because they are brand new vehicles.
