Some dude made a YouTube video on how their OLED switch finally had some burn in after 3600 hours of it being on the same screen Yes. Burn in is still a possibility, but you almost have to try to get it on modern sets. Leave a static image on screen for hundreds of consecutive hours, only watch one channel with a static logo for hundreds of consecutive hours, only play one game with a static HUD for hundreds of consecutive hours. For 99% of people, burn in will never come up. The C1 is an awesome set.
