First off, I apologize if this may have been covered previously and I didn't look in the correct forum for an answer.
I have an LG 65EF9500 OLED television, which I purchased back in September of last year.
The owner's manual cautions against watching anything displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio for more than one hour at a time, as that would risk the possibility of burn-in on the set.
I have viewed PLENTY of widescreen movies (in a 2.35:1 or wider aspect ratio) that last 2-3 hours or more, and have seen no indication whatsoever of either image retention or burn-in.
So, perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why widescreen viewing would cause no such issues (assuming, of course, that it is mixed in with full-screen viewing as well) and 4:3 viewing would be a problem. I mean, why would black bars on the left and right of the screen be any more problematic than black bars on the top and bottom, even given that the side bars may be slightly thicker.
Can anyone provide a technical or even logical reason why that would be? And has anyone experienced any issues watching 4:3 on an OLED?
Thanks.
