When I worked at target we had an oled that ran a 3 minuteish display loop all day from 8am to 10pm. After a couple years it burned some of the graphics from one of the commercials.
Definitely turned off some buyers when they saw it.
I’m surprised the store kept that unit out if once it became that bad. A TV running in a store is a extreme situation which is not a good example of what a TV will run like or even look like (crazy color/lighting settings) when used at home.
That was honestly the fault of the store and not really the tv/manufacturer.
I told the manager about it multiple times. The problem is that to replace it the new TV would have had to come out of the store stock, which would look negative on our reports. So they just let it sit there for literally years with the burn in.
It finally got replaced when an LG rep came in and saw it, he had to order one so the store wouldn’t take the hit.
