Every OLED Monitor Here, Ranked by How Long Burn-In Is Covered

Burn-in is the one failure mode that separates an OLED from every other panel, and it is also the one most likely to be excluded from the warranty that would otherwise cover it. A three-year panel warranty with an image-retention exclusion is not burn-in cover, so the figure ranked here is only the cover that names it — and the ranking has three kinds of row, not one. Most makers here name burn-in for two or three years. Some publish a warranty that covers it without saying for how long, which is shown as not published rather than counted as three. And at least one publishes a panel warranty that never mentions burn-in at all, which is a zero, not a gap in our research.

How this list is ordered: Ordered by the number of years the maker's warranty explicitly covers burn-in, then by price inside each tier. 28 of the catalog’s monitors qualify. 3 of them are no longer listed by their maker in the US — Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G80SD, Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SD, Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC — so this list includes models you cannot currently buy new.

   KTC G27P6

   Same LG Display WOLED panel as the far pricier 27-inch OLEDs of its generation, and it measures accordingly: TFTCentral recorded 904 nits of HDR peak against KTC's 1,000-nit spec, and 209 nits on a full white screen once the brightness limiter settles.
